New Zealand v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Wellington | 19/01/11 | Day 5 | Session 1

[Dare2Dream]

wth was that from misbah? no feet movement, like a under 13 club cricket shot issed:

No worries, the selection committee has picked him for our ODI middle order, may be he is under extra pressure

 

[talha3]

please play straight as possible misbah!

 

[atif.raza]

Hands up to all those that hope to see Misbah out this over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

dead bats the ball.

 

[IAJ]

martin in to his 9th over.

 

[UP]

This has been a horrible match for 'International' umpires

 

[Friend786]

5.5+ hours to survive

 

[akamaka]

these guys are international batsmen they should know that its a fifth day pitch and not to play square/horizontal bat shots. Taufeeq, Ahzar, Hafeez all played horizontal bat shots. They should be playing along the ground. What has miandad taught them?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 to Misbah

 

[Afridi_Fan]

off the mark.

 

[KSaeed]

Hands up to all those that hope to see Misbah out this over

You're on your own mate

 

[Pakistani93]

Nice shot for a single by Misbah

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on Pak please pull this off somehow.

 

[ZAK]

Misbah off the mark.

 

[talha3]

New zealand are like panthers in the field at the moment.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Both these 2 have to bat till tea

 

[Knightrider]

single 4 misbah

 

[Hassan0987]

Guys, they have been selected for the World Cup now, thats why they aren't focusing

 

[aamerfan]

Hands up to all those that hope to see Misbah out this over

anyone??

no?

ok ill sit down

 

[hashmist]

Can someone please answer this: Why is PCB always so reluctant to appoint a batting coach? Surely they should know, like the rest of the world what our team's weakness is.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I guess lala land is Pakistan??

It everywehere. The whole world is Lala Land.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nicely Played by Misbah

 

[chui_kadoo]

When is our next test series?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hands up to all those that hope to see Misbah out this over

Are... ah forget it

 

[Knightrider]

Younus is starting to look more solid

 

[Looney]

Anyoe knows how is Wahab Riaz doing ?

 

[AZ]

edged, but safe, 2 more for YK.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Younis.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

YK ney aaj pee hui hai. Confirmed.

 

[akamaka]

edged again.

 

[ZAK]

54/3.

 

[yadunoe]

why is it so hard to chase in the second innings

 

[aamerfan]

danny boy on again

lets see here

 

[*sallu*]

C'mon Younis

Jaagooooooooooo

 

[Hassan0987]

A lot of edges..

 

[Desi]

Oh god...3 wickets down in the first hour of play

 

[Watsupdoc]

Can someone please answer this: Why is PCB always so reluctant to appoint a batting coach? Surely they should know, like the rest of the world what our team's weakness is.

I don't think we need a batting coach, but a guy who can make us mentally strong...

 

[Schickelgruber]

Did anyone say... support Misbah?

Schickelgruber reporting in

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

guys misbah and younis khan are our chances to win this match. If these 2 stay and rotat the stike hen inshallah we wont lose.

 

[SAF]

We look very scared at the moment.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Hands up to all those that hope to see Misbah out this over

on your own.....

 

[Knightrider]

I dont watch test cricket because of misbahs boring batting

 

[*sallu*]

YK ney aaj pee hui hai. Confirmed.

He is like Ponting, as in both are extremely egdy starters

If he survives (somehow) for 10-15 more minutes he'll start playing okay

 

[KSaeed]

bored- dull grind goin on

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez has had a very poor series. Needs to up his game and start scoring big otherwise needs to be replaced

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single to YK

 

[pakbl10]

Hands up to all those that hope to see Misbah out this over

Good to see your support for Pakistan.

I can't believe there are some people who want PAK do to badly just because they don't like a certain player. How smart.

 

[AZ]

hard cut, long single for YK.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Younis.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

the runs have dried up a little.

 

[Looney]

need to up the run rate a bit

 

[PB]

I dont watch test cricket because of misbahs boring batting

Oh no Yay to bohot bura huwa na phir?

 

[*sallu*]

Single to sweeper

 

[Schickelgruber]

Whats wrong with you guys? This is the SAME misbah who scored 99 in first iinnings!!!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

these guys are international batsmen they should know that its a fifth day pitch and not to play square/horizontal bat shots. Taufeeq, Ahzar, Hafeez all played horizontal bat shots. They should be playing along the ground. What has miandad taught them?

I didnt see how Tuafeeq got out, but

Azhar was trying to flick a length delivery so i dont see how he could have played with a straight bat as it was also going down the legside. That would have been an extremely difficult shot to play with a straight bat.

Hafeez was trying to drive the ball, with a straight bat.

 

[KSaeed]

German essay complete- Isha prayed- match now a grind- me off to bed- salam everyone

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

if this was nz chasin they wont have even lost 1 wicket.

 

[ZAK]

55/3.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hafeez has had a very poor series. Needs to up his game and start scoring big otherwise needs to be replaced

By whom?

 

[Schickelgruber]

I dont belive some PP people on here

 

[JellyBro]

still talking about the edge

 

[AZ]

STFU abt Hafeez's edge already.

 

[Desi]

NZ commies crying a lot, didn't see that much crying when Mccullum wasn't given 032842 times

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Crybabay on.

 

[*sallu*]

I dont belive some PP people on here

So don't, no one is forcing you to

 

[aamerfan]

By whom?

do we really want to go down that road again

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

the reason pak are findin it hard to score is because of nz applying a lot of pressure.

 

[SAF]

I dont belive some PP people on here

okay.

 

[ZAK]

Southee back on.

 

[akamaka]

He is like Ponting, as in both are extremely egdy starters

If he survives (somehow) for 10-15 more minutes he'll start playing okay

are yaar! atleast pointing plays counter attacking cricket. yk just edges it around 1st, 2nd, 3rd slips.

 

[*sallu*]

Younis slowly getting better, time to grind now

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

the ball is just seeming to find the fielder.

 

[JellyBro]

Cameraman zooming in on McCullum's tramp stamp

 

[Schickelgruber]

So don't, no one is forcing you to

Come on yar, he scored 99 a day ago! how can people hate him already this is UNFAIR! you guys UNFAIR!

 

[SAF]

the reason pak are findin it hard to score is because of nz applying a lot of pressure.

Rreeeaallyy??

 

[Hassan0987]

Southee is back

 

[chui_kadoo]

By whom?

Someone who can score big in tests. Not get a pretty 20 and then get out

 

[*sallu*]

Good good, starting to middle it now

 

[AZ]

German essay complete- Isha prayed- match now a grind- me off to bed- salam everyone

Auf Weidersehn.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]
