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

[Obeid]

I think we're playing for draw

 

[cricfan967]

wahab riaz is not a bad batsman for the 11th man

too bad his bowling is not very good

Are you kidding? Did you miss Match 1 Day 3?

 

[TNA]

Slow down people. They are probably tring to see off the ball.

 

[Sledger]

Quicker ball, single. Exposes Wahab.

 

[anakwalajinn]

man all this blocking has got me in the mood for some biscuits

 

[ZAK]

1 to Tanvir.

 

[Obeid]

Cmon boom boom Wahab

 

[Sledger]

Single for Wahab. Off the mark.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Wahab.

 

[Looney]

Tanvir Fatima BA pliss do naat blaak . do some quick boom boom

 

[Sledger]

Wahab keeps strike too.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

365/9

 

[yadunoe]

why is wahab blocking

 

[*sallu*]

C'mon maaro maaro

 

[ZAK]

365/9.

 

[TigerJat]

i dont understand the tuktuk

they should go for the shots if they get out then so be it, thye have a shot at the kiwis for a few overs today

 

[iRfaN_LA]

another 20 runs will be useful.

 

[ZAK]

Lead by 9 runs.

 

[*sallu*]

Exactly, try and get a bonus 20 odd runs

 

[Sledger]

Wahab just needs to smash it. Field is an attacking one.

 

[cricfan967]

Weather not looking too good in days ahead,
draw coming up.

 

[anakwalajinn]

vettori is doing a 300 deliveries for a 5fer

 

[nads_rocks]

The players are not to be blamed for this collapse and neither is the tail, there is only 1 culprit for this and its the umpire, when Younis and Misbah were looking solid the game was in our grasp and both were getting to their centuries, going nicely at a good pace, that 1 wrong dismissal hurt the confidence of Asad Shafiq because pressure was on him to stay at the crease and try to build a partnership with a well set Misbah, then Adnan Akmal came in made a quick fire 22 and out and then it was the tail which will not always fire.

1 wrong decision can take the game away from you, if Younis was still at the crease we could have been 400-3/4 by now and would have looked well set for 500+ and lead of 150+ but now the game is well in the balance and can now go either way.

 

[TNA]

That "1" run by Misbah is costing us the Match

 

[ZAK]

Beaten!

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

I think, the best strategy for Tanvir and Wahab has got to be to go crazy and hit out. A few fast runs. Even if they get out, it gives us 4-5 overs to have a go at the kiwi openers. They have been out for 130+ overs ... would be tired, and if we could get a wicket tonight, it puts Pakistan in a very advantageous position.

These few singles would not help much.

 

[*sallu*]

Why isn't he hitting

 

[Sledger]

They're going to get out just pushing and prodding.

Wahab is a big hitter. This woodchopper needs to slam the ball past Martin's bald head!

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

aussies cricket is overated rper

 

[yadunoe]

wahab should get out lol so nz can bat for 3-4 overs

 

[Sledger]

Good shot for four.

 

[Obeid]

13/9

 

[Looney]

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[Sledger]

Nice drive by Wahab there.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Pitch is alive, it should be a good contest now.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[pakbl10]

4 to Wahab

 

[jattafridi]

 

[TNA]

Sexy shot by Wahab

 

[anakwalajinn]

guys let them block. they r just getting set

I predict a decleration just before tea tomorrow

tanvir 114 not out and wahab 151 not out
pakistan 655/9d

 

[ZAK]

Lead by 13 runs.

 

[Sledger]

Play and miss.

 

[ShehryarK]

Both Matin AND Vettori have the chance. Only one of Martin OR Vettori will avail it.

POTW!! )




PS: Pedant of the Week

 

[classic]

I feel a chukka coming

 

[anakwalajinn]

That "1" run by Misbah is costing us the Match

bro that's just a negative approach we will win the game insha Allah

 

[ZAK]

369/9.

 

[NJamal]

Younis Khan's decision cost us big time.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

369/9

 

[Sledger]

Haha.

Anyway, good over for Pak there. These two need to attack more though I feel.

 

[TigerJat]

Are you kidding? Did you miss Match 1 Day 3?

I don't remember that particular innings, but he(riaz) has 12 wickets in 4 matches, 5 or 6 were in the first one alone, so not many wickets since then.

He bowls all over the place, is not a genuine quick bowler, and has only taken 233 wickets from 69 First class matches at an average of almost 29. Those are very mediocre numbers.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Shane Bond is a fair commentator.

 

[Sledger]

What a shot by Tanvir. Shades of the big man. 2 more.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Tanvir.

 

[yadunoe]

wahab riaz is not a bad batsman for the 11th man

too bad his bowling is not very good

if he can become an all rounder then we should keep him if not then is bowling isnt good enough to warrant a pplacce

 

[cricfan967]

ball wasn't even near the bat

 

[*sallu*]

HIIIIIITTTTTT ffs

 

[TigerJat]

4 off the over

 

[ZAK]

Lead by 15 runs.

 

[NJamal]

2 to Tanvir

 

[Looney]

maaro maaro maaro maaro

 

[TigerJat]

2 runs to the old man

 

[Sledger]

15 is the lead. So Tanvir's opening over accounted for atm.

 

[ZAK]

371/9.

 

[anakwalajinn]

come ooon buoooyz

 

[Sledger]

Martin out of the attack.

 

[ZAK]

Southee on.

 

[Obeid]

Must we run ourselves out

 

[ZAK]

1 to Wahab.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

another 8 overs remaining for the day. We need to get a few runs quickly and then have a crack at NZ openers.

 

[TigerJat]

more tuk tuk

 

[srk.khan999]

cmon riaz. BIG SHOT !!!

 

[Sledger]

No surprises. Vettori has been selfish on two occasions and both involving Martin.

He took a single first ball to get his hundred and expose Martin and now he's taken him off while Vettori will certainly continue bowling himself.

 

[ZAK]

Vettori is such a selfish *****.

 

[cricfan967]

100 up for Southee
Class

 

[ZAK]

2 more to Tanvir.

 

[anakwalajinn]

have anyone noticed... have there been any bowled dismissals in this series?

 

[Sledger]

Vettori wants the 100/5for double.

 

[Looney]

Tim Southee ki century ho gai

 

[jattafridi]

Vettori is such a selfish *****.
