Perfect time for PAK to go for the kill and if it didnt happend as it did in 1st test then i think they shouldnt give away easy runs by just attacking they should right away go for defensive approach. which will frustrate NZ cuz in the end, its NZ who will be need the victory as for PAK, its a flat track and wickets wont cum easily so they could just avoid the boundaries and if boundaries wont be cumin so NZ will sstart looking for few and in that chance they may throw their wkts away so i think if pAK can play it like this then its really there's. If pak still cant get wkts by going defensive so it wont hurt them much as long as they are not giving away free runs. those ones n two's wont bother much so i think pak should out trick NZ and make them work hard to get a boundary....i wish PAK wins/

 

[amirfanforlife]

Lets see what this day/night brings for pak... hopefully all good news!

Unfortunately there has been some rain overnight and the covers are on, but the groundstaff are confident that we can start on time or close to it.

Should be good conditions for bowling. McCullum is the key, get him early and a win is on for Pakistan.

 

[shaheen1shaheen2]

get in there son

 

[DeadlyVenom]

aslamualikum should be a good day of test cricket. Im predicting new Zealand out for 180 inshallah

 

[SAF]

get in there son

?

 

[oracleg]

Overcast conditions, new cherry, NZ batting line-up under pressure.

Expecting a grand performance from nvir.

Skittle them out before the rain, chase the total down tomorrow.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Two douche-bags giving the pitch report..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How's it going guys?

 

[KingKhanWC]

aslamualikum should be a good day of test cricket. Im predicting new Zealand out for 180 inshallah

Wslaam DV, OM and all. 180 would be a great.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wont be tuning in for the first 20-30 mins, so will be following it on here with updates of ball by ball from you guys!

 

[cricfan967]

Still nervous about Pakistan chasing anything over 120,

 

[shaheen1shaheen2]

How's it going guys?

alright bro

 

[oracleg]

Still nervous about Pakistan chasing anything over 120,

No worries, Hafeez is due a big one.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

alright bro

Good stuff!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wasalam deadlyvenom..
Doull stated that Franklin's running onto the pitch did a little bit of damage to the pitch.

So, the kiwis resorted to cheating when things didnt go their way.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wslaam DV, OM and all. 180 would be a great.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Boundary 1st ball? McCullum?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Can see rain. Should suit the bowlers a bit.

 

[AZ]

get in there son

what the hell!

well at least now I get the Auntie reference.

aslamualikum should be a good day of test cricket. Im predicting new Zealand out for 180 inshallah

Walikumsalam DV, please sit on the floor, we've run out of chairs

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Any predictions guys?

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Good to See Wahab on the Field..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Couple of Runs to Guppy..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Any predictions guys?

What kinda prediction will make you happy???

 

[KingKhanWC]

Easy start by Tanvir, needs to get into rhythm quickly.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Gul is coming into the attack now..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Nz 15/0..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

NZ still trailing by 5 runs..

 

[Fawad2010]

salam arz hai!

 

[SAF]

Guldozer to guldoze through the Kiwis today. Mark MY WORDS

 

[pakbl10]

Well NZ needs to score at a fast rate, so hopefully in the process of doing so, they will make mistakes.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What kinda prediction will make you happy???

One that involves a Pakistan victory and a Hafeez century

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

McCullum try to get out by hitting wicket.

Good Back foot Dancing leave..

 

[KingKhanWC]

Bit of movement in the air from Gul, nothing off the pitch though.

 

[AZ]

Gully not happy with the ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ball doing anything yet?

 

[SAF]

Ramiz is getting turned on by Mcculum

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

One that involves a Pakistan victory and a Hafeez century

Can't see any Century is Available for Hafeez in this Test..

 

[KingKhanWC]

NZ will target Tanvir, hope he knows.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Gully not happy with the ball

Ball has lost its head.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ball turned into a melon. A bit early but good to change it.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I tried to defend Tanvir in the first match but he does look awful doesnt he. Has a knack of picking up easy wickets though so as long as that continues he should play.

 

[AZ]

ball not going thru the hoops.

ICC are now giving substandard cricket balls along with substandard umpires.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

NZ will target Tanvir, hope he knows.

He doesn't...

Our Bowlers Don't think about opponents game plan..

 

[90MPH]

Gul's rhythm and run up does not look right, seems to be lacking intensity and final release he seems to be collapsing a bit. His seam position though has improved - used to be much more scrambled.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

ball not going thru the hoops.

ICC are now giving substandard cricket balls along with substandard umpires.

Are they changing the ball?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Looks like a new nut.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

ball not going thru the hoops.

ICC are now giving substandard cricket balls along with substandard umpires.

What about Substandard President and CEO???

 

[AZ]

big appeal!!!!!!!!

didn't come back enough perhaps.

 

[pakbl10]

Big appeal. Not out.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

If it was a pakistani Batsman, That Harper would give that one Out With out any doubt issed:

 

[KingKhanWC]

Missing off stump but dangerous to leave it from McCullum.

 

[JellyBro]

good decision for a change

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

 

[Blitz]

 

[SAF]

Wow. Harpaer didnt give that a out. Im Surprised!
I wonder if that figer had gone up if NZ was bowling.

 

[oracleg]

Impressive appeal from Tanvir

Looks like the new ball's doing a bit

 

[Looney]

LOL at Tanvir pleading

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

NZ still trailing by 2runs..
