What's new

Pakistan bowled out for 239 at Stumps on Day 3 thanks to fightback by Faheem (91) and Rizwan (71)

In my opinion it's always best to be positive in test cricket. I am not talking about run a ball stuff. Strike rate of 50-55 is great. But to just defend is pointless unless it's the 4th inning and you are trying to save the game.

There will always be a ball that has your name written on it...

Pakistan scored 10 runs in 1 hour and lost 2 wickets.

Yes he played here in Canterbury and he did have a few injury issues and I believe he added an extra 5 or 6km of pace in the last few year which really seemed to take him to the next level.

He also improved his batting out of nowhere the last few years.
 
Haris not following the script well, getting off the mark on the second ball itself. :kp
 
This is a joke of a team. Doesn’t inspire any confidence whatsoever. Just a bunch of overrated timid characters.
 
This azhar Ali guy is around forever and look at his body language. He still comes across as of he’s playing his first test match.
 
NZ has a really good bowling attack but, conditions are far from unplayable. Runs are there for taking if any batsman is mentally ready to play a decent knock.
 
This is actually a great watch. Test is here in test cricket, Taylor and Williamson managed it , now its up to our boys to do the same. Being a few down for not much is nothing new for Pak cricket, since the days of Javed Miandad, no's 3,4 and 5 have batte out of their skins to save a match or at least put up a great fight.

Both Haris and Azhar can be mentally strong to bat the day but these Kiwis are on fire atm.
 
Just keep blocking away lads, forget the setbacks, lets get the rr to overs ratio back to equity.
 
im expecting Azhar and Harris both to make at least half centurys here. Pitch looks easy to bat on and the ball is nearly 40 overs old.
 
This is good test deck now and we have the best of the batting conditions but terrible batsman are making it look like a minefield
 
Anyone considered that there might be something dodgy with this speed gun?
 
wagner has good stats for such a mediocre one dimensional bowler. Is he a home track bully? never heard of him doing anything decent oveseas

He won NZ a Test match in the UAE v Pakistan. This guy is a mentally tough fast bowler
 
Can't afford to lose any more wickets before lunch. These two need to go big but I'm worried about how they'll fare against the short stuff.

Azhar was bounced out by Olivier in South Africa two winters ago, as was Haris in Australia last year.
 
pak could bat 150 overs at this rate and not avoid the follow on, this is an absolute joke.
 
The saviour Fawad is here. Need him to keep up the big blockathon.
 
This is an absolutely disgraceful batting approach

Said it before but pak should stop touring the southern hemisphere
 
thats what happens when you play in misbah mode (ultra defensive). absolutely pathetic batting. The bowlers are under no pressure at all. You have to look to score or atleast put the bad ball away. Pak deserve to get hammered and shameless coach to get the sack
 
Azhar is finished at this level. That 141 on a pancake in Southampton has only prolonged the agony.
 
Where are those street analysts who wanted micky out? This current management is taking us back to 2010s
