New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Wellington | 18/1/11 | Day 4 | Session 3

[Looney]

Shammi kaun? Shammi Kapoor?

LOL, considering NZ were 100+ with no loss, they've played extremely poor cricket. They were once going at almost 4 runs per over. Ideally, Pakistan should have been batting by now.

Exactly and Feezy looks so threatening . why on earth would you replace him ?

 

[pakbl10]

Asad struck...that must have hurt.

 

[Looney]

new ball lo bhai

 

[nads_rocks]

Now why on earth did he bend down he could have tried to catch that!

 

[Sledger]

Hopefully it will rain tomorrow.

 

[qaiser]

asad has fielded enough bat and pad.
give somebody else that position

 

[Looney]

Taylor out before 50

 

[Decipher]

Vettori's message in the drinks break should be clear and simple ...... go get 'em !!!

 

[*sallu*]

Need rain otherwise its all over

I see a big collapse with the way its turning

Taufeeq, Hafeez and Azhar all 3 are not good players of spin and we have tail starting from no.7 all of whom are virtually Vettori's bunnies

 

[Looney]

come on you freaks ATTACK

 

[qaiser]

I despise Pakistan letting below ave Kiwis get away in this test match.

 

[Sledger]

Gul finding pace late in the day.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Do not take the new ball. Older softer ball is better at this stage

 

[MRSN]

WHat the hell .......play is still on issed:

 

[anakwalajinn]

I don't wanna go to schoouuuuuuuuuul

 

[nads_rocks]

Right am gonna retire to bed get 2 hours sleep before work, don't think gonna get 5 wickets today looks like we'll be chasing in excess of 280+

Which in Misbah's case = A draw unless they want to win the series 2-0 then go all out on attack, a total of 300 is easily chaseable in a days play, just need strategy and tactic!

Salaams and goodnight/morning/evening all

 

[MRSN]

You know things are bad when this PM guy is in comm box

 

[cricfan4ever]

match is headed for a draw...

 

[SAF]

Why are NZ even playing if they dont want to win? wasting our time, our players' time, crowd's, commies' and their own as well..

series win by Pakistan 1-0-1

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Wahab n Tanvir have bowled only 18 overs. Tanvir is crap but Wahab shud have been given a longer run. May be he is still not feeling well?

 

[Looney]

still 12 over remain should take about another hour

 

[Sledger]

50 partnership.

 

[nads_rocks]

I don't wanna go to schoouuuuuuuuuul

Education is very important bro it will do you alot of good in the future.

Am retiring to bed for 2 hrs take ezy bro slm\

 

[iRfaN_LA]

NZ will not declare until they get at least 320+ lead.

 

[nads_rocks]

Do not take the new ball. Older softer ball is better at this stage

But the new ball looks nice and juicy

 

[MRSN]

good fielding by Umer

and thats Fifty for Taylor

 

[anakwalajinn]

oooh man

 

[anakwalajinn]

Right am gonna retire to bed get 2 hours sleep before work, don't think gonna get 5 wickets today looks like we'll be chasing in excess of 280+

Which in Misbah's case = A draw unless they want to win the series 2-0 then go all out on attack, a total of 300 is easily chaseable in a days play, just need strategy and tactic!

Salaams and goodnight/morning/evening all

shabbakheir bro

 

[qaiser]

Wish good luck to Asad after that severe blow

 

[MRSN]

that should have been run out

 

[anakwalajinn]

Education is very important bro it will do you alot of good in the future.

Am retiring to bed for 2 hrs take ezy bro slm\

true. especially 2 much pressure when u dont live at home and family and friends expect u 2 suceed

goodnight

 

[Sledger]

Gul consistently around the 140k mark now.

 

[MRSN]

good yorker for nothing

 

[Sledger]

141k yorker.

 

[ZAK]

Good yorker by Gul.

 

[anakwalajinn]

they are not going to chase this one I think... so confused about my driving lesson

 

[qaiser]

Mani pose like he is a great fielder.
could have done better in collecting the ball

 

[Sledger]

Finally, he's pitching it up.

 

[Decipher]

hahaha .. genetically dumb

 

[Sledger]

No they won't chase it unless they play for a draw. NZ win or draw are the likely results possible now.

 

[anakwalajinn]

adnan akmal looks solid. hard to beleive he is an akmal

verywelldone:adnan

 

[MRSN]

Two more for youngu

 

[Sledger]

Misfield.

 

[NJamal]

Pakistan can chase this score around 250 easily if they want to win

 

[ZAK]

266/5.

 

[MRSN]

Another 40 minutes to go.......>>>

 

[Sledger]

Have they not taken the new ball?

 

[qaiser]

do we have any good fielders beside yunus khan

 

[Decipher]

Misbah must be worried and disappointed seeing his plans of draw match going down the hill.

 

[Friend786]

Have they not taken the new ball?

not yet

 

[qaiser]

Misbah must be worried and disappointed seeing his plans of draw match going down the hill.

don't you have to sleep or go to work?

 

[MRSN]

What a catch

 

[Friend786]

runs coming quick and fast

 

[Sledger]

Great CATCH!!

 

[pakbl10]

outtt

 

[Sledger]

What a catch Azhar boy!

 

[anakwalajinn]

greeeat caatch

 

[Sledger]

A little opening for Pakistan..

 

[Obeid]

280+ to chase... can we do it?

 

[pakbl10]

What a beautiful catch!

 

[Decipher]

280+ to chase... can we do it?

what do you think ?

 

[Obeid]

Vettoris a better bat than Young tho

 

[Sledger]

Rehman should trouble Vettori.

 

[Sledger]

Maybe get Hafeez back too.

 

[oracleg]

What a catch!

280 or 290 should be chased down, even by our batting standards.

 

[Friend786]

i am afraid damage is already done

 

[CricketBuff]

How many catches have gone down today ?

 

[qaiser]

should bring hafeez or tanu back

 

[Sledger]

Rehman bowling very flat though.

 

[*sallu*]

wwe need to pray new zealand bat as long as possible or get out asap to open up either a draw or a win

Anything in the middle is big trouble

 

[qaiser]

get ready for chapati shots and sweeps

 

[anakwalajinn]

should have more men around vettori, or no?

 

[*sallu*]

Hafeez should come back to the left handers

 

[ZAK]

268/6.

 

[Sledger]

<300 and an outside chance for Pak but they will have to bat for the draw initially and go for shots late in the day.

 

[Friend786]

bring back hafeez to bowl at dan

 

[anakwalajinn]

i dont wanna cancel my driving lesson if its gonna be a draw

but I am gonna watch it anyway

 

[anakwalajinn]

no matter the result I have really enjoyed this test series

 

[MRSN]

LBW

 

[Obeid]

GULLL!! You da man!
