New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Wellington | 17/1/11 | Day 3 | Session 3

[Sledger]

Younis gone.

and at the crease. Still 70 behind.

 

[*sallu*]

Rubbish decision, wrong time to lose a wicket, New Zealand would have been on the defensive and it would have been the ideal time to take the attack to them

Very unlucky not to get a 100 was Younis Khan

 

[shan]

How the ***** can umpire justify younis decision?

 

[oracleg]

A draw will be an awesome achievement now seeing as we're playing against 13 men.

Lost count of the number of decisions against us in this match alone.

 

[JibranAnsari]

probably a leed of 50

 

[nads_rocks]

I had a rant on umpiring yesterday I really cannot be asked today, this is absolutely pathetic, this decision could well change the match now, I hope it doesn't because these 2 were looking solid and could have got his century too as well as get that 200 run partnership you never know both Misbah and Younis could have taken us to end of play with just losing 1 wicket.

These decisions by umpires man what the hell are they playing at.

 

[GOAT]

Hopefully Asad can play well and Misbah doesn't lose focus. Another fifty by Mr. Shafiq + some lower order scores can see us have a lead of 100+ easily.

Match is fast headed towards a draw though.

 

[SAF]

Asad Shafiq and Misbah need to go all out on these Kiwis (umpires included).

I want a 6 6 6 4 4 4 over by Misbah after tea.

Nice username.

 

[aamerfan]

umpires should be held accountable

they should be punished or reprimanded for idiot decisions

anyway...need to build the lead going into tomorrow

 

[nads_rocks]

With so much unfair decisions by these blind as bat umpires, this better get followed up after the series, umpires should be punished and questioned, this is just completely wrong, what the hell do they think they are playing at, this is a cricket match and if they cannot umpire fairly then go back to country cricket, that is so unfair!!!

 

[Syndrome]

**** the umpires. Racist SOBs.

 

[DOOSRA95]

these 3rd rate umpires from aussi land...........JOKE

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad Shafiq and Misbah need to go all out on these Kiwis (umpires included).

I want a 6 6 6 4 4 4 over by Misbah after tea.

no wonder u r an afridi fan

 

[TigerJat]

tough decision for Younis,

 

[TigerJat]

good thing it is against the kiwis so we can take a couple of those

 

[Obeid]

I hope somebody hits a nice straight drive into the umpire's face.

I bet the local NZ umpires would be better

 

[abdulqadir786]

tough decision for Younis,

you call that tough man, it was deliverables given wrong by that SOB

 

[sully3]

this is just terrible. honestly the worst umpire in cricket

 

[saeed-sohail]

Worst umpiring.

 

[JibranAnsari]

can umpires be involved with the betting mafia?

 

[Sledger]

Hmm, the game is somewhat open now.

Due to the pace Pakistan are playing at, these 70 runs are quite far off and they'll face quite a few balls to get into a lead. I think Misbah becomes the real key. If NZ get rid of him within the first 1/2 hour or 40 mins after tea then they have a chance to run through the lower order.

Still, wicket is dead so hopefully Shafiq and the captain can repeat what they did at Hamilton.

 

[Desi]

if players get sacked for poor performances why don't umpires? there should be some sort of circulation among the "elite" panel

 

[Decipher]

Someone has to put a little effort and count the total number of wrong decisions and then find out how many went against and in a favor of each side.

 

[Syndrome]

This is why it sucks not having a cricket board with any power or say with the ICC. Imagine if the umpires made these sort of errors regularly against India. They would end the umpire's career, or threaten to boycott the tour.

 

[abdulqadir786]

can umpires be involved with the betting mafia?

They could be

 

[GOAT]

No, then we would've had three hattricks by now.

 

[SAF]

Nice username.

Thank you Thank you
This is what Tests (and Afridi) is all about. Enjoy the tea break!!!!

[saeed-sohail]

I cant get over this.Hope Misbah gets his hundred now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

2 against nz and 5 so far against pakistan

 

[nads_rocks]

Moving on now...

I wanted a minimum of 150 partnership btwn Younis and Misbah they got 142 after the umpire decided to step but a great partnership.

I predicted 2 centuries from our top 6 batsman, again Younis was well set and so is Misbah so Misbah has to now punish the Kiwi's and I mean punish them, no sportsmanship at all from them at all. Come on Misbah up your gear and make your century.

Asad Shafiq should make atleast a 50 and then Akmal and the tail could contribute another 100 runs or so.

It is possible...

 

[Obeid]

I think Vettori should call YK back.

 

[Pak4Ev3r]

Whats the point wrong decisions are wrong decisions doesn't matter which side

 

[SAF]

I cant get over this.Hope Misbah gets his hundred now.

I thought you went to bed? woke up that quickly?

 

[TigerJat]

well they missed one against taufeeq umar as well, when he was on about 30

 

[Sledger]

Lol, just seen it.. straight off the pad - awful decision.

 

[Sledger]

Players are back out btw.

 

[ZAK]

The NZ Pm is in the comm box.

 

[Sledger]

I think Vettori should call YK back.

He will. Get your hopes up.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

YK was set for a big one here. What the EFF are the umpires doing in an international test match. 2 out of 4 wickets were given out wrongly.

 

[Obeid]

well they missed one against taufeeq umar as well, when he was on about 30

And they gave Hafeez out wrongly.

And there's 3 decisions in the first innings which would've reduced NZ total by about 75ish atleast

 

[Obeid]

He will. Get your hopes up.

He's gotten really short

 

[JibranAnsari]

its like playing against west indies in west indies in 2000 or against india in india before neutral umpires came. cricket will be ridiculed if icc doesnt do anything about it.

 

[Sledger]

Asad Shafiq out there now.

 

[nads_rocks]

I'm still sticking to my prediction make a minimum of atleast 430, anything above that would be great 500+ is still a big possibility too, we have a good tail who can all contribute and make 30s and 40s.

 

[Sledger]

70 behind. 72 avg for Asad.

Should get a two run lead.

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[JibranAnsari]

4 to start with

 

[pakbl10]

 

[Sledger]

4 first ball.

 

[Obeid]

Misbah's mad, 4 first ball

 

[nads_rocks]

Wicked start after tea by Misbah go all out and punish them!

 

[Sledger]

[Sledger]

Legendary comment on CI:

"If you want an argument in favour of the review system, put Harper on the field; if you want an argument against the system, put Harper in the third umpire's booth."
By simon barnes

 

[nads_rocks]

Captain taking initiative for a poor dismissal, he will avenge Younis Khans dismissal

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good thinking by Misbah, get to a 100 before the umpire gives you out.

 

[Sledger]

What did he have at tea?

 

[spoiled]

just can't get over younis's decision

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Good start from Misbah.

 

[Obeid]

Apparently, it will rain tomorrow.

It's only 40-50% rain throughout the day, so we should get play

 

[nads_rocks]

Misbah has had his chai now its time for action

 

[Sledger]

A shame that one wasn't a four either then..

 

[Sledger]

Bit of away swing. 8 off the over.

 

[ZAK]

NZ PM is such a twit for liking T20's over Tests.

 

[nads_rocks]

Ian Smith in comm box, come on Ian trash these umpires

 

[ZAK]

294/4.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The prime minister on comm box.

What about the President?

 

[Sledger]

Vetterrorist continues.

 

[Obeid]

Cmon Asad, take Vettori to the cleaners

Make him wish he recalled YK

 

[SAF]

Vetterrorist continues.

how about Vitorria Secret?

 

[Sledger]

This PM knows nothing about cricket.

 

[Obeid]

Damnt.

 

[Sledger]

Shafiq out for a duck.

 

[ZAK]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Shaiq gone to spin, hardly suprising.

If I was Shafiq, I would have sat there
