:misbah what happened to playing attacking cricket????

what's the point of a deep point when you are trying to take wickets??? what's the point of not having close in fielders for Rehman if you're trying to win?

FFS!!!!!!! :facepalm:

calm down.
 
abdur rahman shud bowl the same line whole day.. just pitch the ball on the leg stump line or a few inches outside leg, i bet these NZ batsmen would not score more than 1 or 1 1/2 run per over. they are not good at using the feet against spiners. at the same, if we dont get enuf wickets on the other side, then vettori or franlin will come up the order to score runs quickly.
 
ahhh, leading edge falls harmlessly into the offside.

good over from Rehman so far.

I think the point is that Misbah's not looking to take wickets, he's waiting for the NZ batsmen to make mistakes. Remember they're the ones looking for a win here, hence need to get the scoreboard moving.

I think he's also realized the pitch and conditions aren't doing much so might as well go on the defensive.

i would say smart cricket, may not be an attacking cricket. when there is a chance for the rain, i would say better to make NZ work hard for runs. that would significantly reduce their chance of winning the game. thats the cushion you have if you are ahead in the series.
 
We need someone to tamper with the ball and not get caught. Or pretend he was cleaning it he does get caught :tendulkar. Only way we will be threatening :))
 
What are NZ doing? :)))

They need to win this game.

Should be attacking more.
 
NZ want to set a platform in the first session. Either way they need to attack Rehman sooner or later.

that strategy by all means is playing it safe...good luck winning against stronger teams with such approach...

so much for :quote: attacking :quote: cricket
 
for a player who has a few shots, Guptill really struggles to score.

good one from Gully, jagged back a bit.

sometimes attacking cricket is smart cricket. You put the opposition into pressure by having close fielders, especially against someone who is struggling against spin. Look back to how vettori finally got wickets yesterday, he finally decided to have an attacking field
 
plenty of chat out there now, lol.

sounds like a machi market.
 
Nathan Hauritz back for the WC haha.

Ian Smith just called Steve Smith over-rated. :)))
 
OYE oye hoyeee

i would like my new username to be oyehoye :adnan
 
Rehman can't dive, would rather run along with the ball.

Aussies won't win this time round.
 
Wahab getting it to duck in a bit.

another :noball

what's going on?!
 
I was watching the match on Sky sports HD last nyt and I knew it wasnt in High Defintion quality but when programs which are not HD are broadcasted on HD channels they still are touch better quality then SD but last nyt this wasnt the case at all, the coverage was very average quality.

Did anyone else notice the day 3 coverage on sky sports wasnt same quality as 1st 2 days. I mean the coverage was in 4:3(similar to eurosport) but manually stretched as widescreen by SKY. Jesse Ryder looked like a sumo wrester. But highlights are always widescreen and high definition.
 
Our bowlers have become millionaires in matter of hours. LEARN FROM THE MARKHORES BILL GATES! :)
 
:four

on the legs and beautifully clipped thru midwicket.


Pak pacers have been very flat today.
