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

[Hamxa89]

What was Taufeeq tryin to do? Playing with a slanted bat.. Too slow to react? That was rubbish

 

[Inswinger]

Missed a straight one

 

[Syndrome]

Chalo boys. This was my worst nightmare.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

 

[iHammad]

And.... we lost.

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Thought I heard an edge on that one.

That was as plumb as they come i think!

lets see the replay...there better not be an edge!

 

[Down2Earth]

and the collapse begins

we've seen taufeeq get out like that way too many times now

 

[KingKhanWC]

Win by 5 wickets. How about you? my prediction couldnt have been more wrong yesterday but its nice to be optimisting.

Win 3 wickets. Gul hitting the winning runs with a single down fine leg.

Azhar in, Kiwi's cock a hoop

 

[KSaeed]

That was such a poor shot- very Farhat-esque

 

[Uzi]

Well done Taufeeq. You missed a straight ball.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar Ali new man in...

 

[Looney]

positive start that

 

[ZAK]

Azhar Ali is the new man in.

 

[123]

what the hell !

What was he trying to do there

 

[Inswinger]

McCullum already chirping at Azhar...

 

[Gollum]

yk should have been sent at #3 now..

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Southee looks dangerous!

 

[ali_ed2006]

This is what I was afraid of!!

 

[MRSN]

leading edge,I told you it wont be easy

 

[The Godfather]

Horrible start, need a hundred partnership here at least, or would not mind a 270 run partnership.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single for Azhar, survives.

 

[ZAK]

Ali off the mark.

 

[chui_kadoo]

What did i say this morning. I told you so. NZ were firm favourites and seems as though I was spot on. I knew Pak couldnt handle the pressure. Seems like my senses are proving me right again.

 

[AZ]

doesn't get any more plumber than that.

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

that right there is why taufeeq is and forever will be an average batsman at best.

 

[KSaeed]

What did i say this morning. I told you so. NZ were firm favourites and seems as though I was spot on. I knew Pak couldnt handle the pressure. Seems like my senses are proving me right again.

lol its 1 wicket- we can still go for draw and win the series

 

[DeadlyVenom]

See off the newball and these newzealanders become pub team bowlers.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I really hope we dont Tatti our pants again. For once please hold out for a series win.

 

[ZAK]

1 to Hafeez.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Southee attacking stumps and looking for LBWs here!

Pak 6/1

 

[AZ]

Single for Hafeez, just wide of mid-on.

 

[billllal]

6/1

 

[KingKhanWC]

Now the sledging starts.

 

[uzy99]

We need to play with cool heads.

 

[chui_kadoo]

lol its 1 wicket- we can still go for draw and win the series

Ive seen it all before too many times before

 

[S_K]

i sense a major batting collapse here

 

[Gollum]

lol a wicket before vettori is really a bonus...a huge bonus!!

 

[Inswinger]

yk should have been sent at #3 now..

That would be a sign of panic and the Kiwis would know they've got yo rattled.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

New Zealand bowling is nearly as bad as Hindustans

 

[ZAK]

6/1.

 

[Amjid Javed]

268 needed from 88 overs...

 

[AZ]

superb over from Sheikh Taimoor bin Saudi.

 

[KSaeed]

That would be a sign of panic and the Kiwis would know they've got yo rattled.

yeh but he is the ideal guy to help build an innings and calm things down

 

[pakbl10]

No worries, it's Hafeez's day, iA.

 

[GOAT]

Younis has a stupendous average in fourth innings - time to build on that first innings fifty champ :19

 

[ScotRaz]

Azhar not learnt his lesson, still sticking the bat up when ducking a bouncer!

 

[KingKhanWC]

You can't blame Taufeeq there, good ball.

 

[uzy99]

Hafeez is a bits and pieces cricketer, but today would be a good day to put those bits and pieces together and record a nice ton.

 

[IAJ]

must be nice to play cricket without any visible security. What a lovely ground this is.

 

[KSaeed]

You can't blame Taufeeq there, good ball.

It was a terrible shot though- played all around it

 

[KingKhanWC]

Azhar not learnt his lesson, still sticking the bat up when ducking a bouncer!

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

This match is ours!! NZ dnt have the bowlers to bowl a team out for under 270 on this sort of pitch!

 

[AZ]

one of these guys has gotta play the knock of their lives here.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Need a nice solid 50 partnership now

 

[Hamxa89]

Chris Martin's follow through is just hillarious )

 

[KingKhanWC]

It was a terrible shot though- played all around it

First ball he faced and it just nipped back enough.

 

[Atif]

by Hafeez

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

: to hafeez

 

[shaheen1shaheen2]

4 nice one

 

[chui_kadoo]

Cant afford to lose another wicket before lunch

 

[ScotRaz]

See avatar

 

[AZ]

thickish outside edge, thru gully.

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 more past the gulley for Hafeez

10/1

 

[ZAK]

Edged for by

[Hamxa89]

What!!? Adnan was summoned for laughing at Ryder? Oh come ON!!!

 

[Looney]

This match is ours!! NZ dnt have the bowlers to bowl a team out for under 270 on this sort of pitch!

But maybe we have the batsmen to lose this one , who knows ?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Martin right on the money there

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

All this criticism of Taufeeq Umar- what do you wanna do? Bring back Farhat. Taufeeq is a shoe in for at least 1-2 years I'd say. give him continuity.

Ok 6-1. This match has eeriely reminded me of Headingley 2006 and we know what happened there.

I think we should play positively including leaving positively till lunch. Then mid-2nd session start attacking and see where we go

 

[ScotRaz]

Classic knowledge by the oracle Ramiz "Urdu ans English are different languages" lol

 

[billllal]

10/1

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan just need to dig in and see off the new ball here!

 

[KSaeed]

What!!? Adnan was summoned for laughing at Ryder? Oh come ON!!!

Innit- he didn't even say anything- how is laughing a crime?

 

[ads101]

just over 3% of the runs got already

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This match is ours!! NZ dnt have the bowlers to bowl a team out for under 270 on this sort of pitch!

We have the batting to get out though Inshallah one big partnership and we will get confidence. :umarakmal:umarakmal would have slaughtered this mickey mouse attack

 

[MRSN]

NOt out

 

[ZAK]

10/1.

 

[AZ]

Huge appeal!!!!!

) not out!

 

[Hamxa89]

That was not out. But how on earth did HE NOT GIVE THAT!?

 

[KSaeed]

Not out
