[cricket_fan_1]

275 all out and 67/1...pakistan all the way

2nd session....very crucial...

 

[cricfan967]

extremely crucial, would love to see them be around 200/2

 

[cricket_fan_1]

NZ bowlers are a demoralized lot...don't let them get off the carpet...rub it in

Commentators blaming the dead pitch

 

[DonJee]

lol

cricklinx just showed that tim machintosh might have dropped that catch, he wasn't in complete control!!!

 

[cricket_fan_1]

Commentators blaming the dead pitch

what was the pitch like yesterday...was it a mine filed ??

some commentators never learn to give the credit where it is due

 

[Khabri420]

Rameez + NZ commentators is a one deadly combo. Mute all the way

 

[the Great Khan]

no it was a decent pitch..the conditions were good to bowl in ,overcast etc..ut the ball wasnt deviating at all..sme slight movement off the seam but if india or england would have been batting it would have been 300-3 by end of play..

credit to our bowlers and captain who had a plan and they dried up the runs and put pressure on the kiwis..tanvir dropped his pace and bowled line and length and rehman was very tidy..the kiwis just wilted!!

total batting pitch now..put it this way sehwag would have a hundred by tea!

 

[ace4rmspace]

lol

cricklinx just showed that tim machintosh might have dropped that catch, he wasn't in complete control!!!

LOL ... I was wondering if anyone else saw that. It was a legit catch though.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

day 2 and 3 seems to be best for batting on this pitch...RUB IT IN

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

NZ Commentators are easily the worst, they dont have insight into the game nor do they have any character.

Everything is about NZ

 

[DonJee]

LOL ... I was wondering if anyone else saw that. It was a legit catch though.

The catch was fine but when he got up to celebrate the ball rolled away, I don't think he was in control though! However ab to kuch nahi ho sakta!

 

[iHammad]

Good start by Taufeeq and Azhar.

facepalm at Hafeez

 

[cricket_fan_1]

some caution against dan the man...that will do

 

[MRSN]

Rameez + NZ commentators is a one deadly combo. Mute all the way

 

[MRSN]

Who needs Butt when we have Taufeeq

 

[tahir_dj]

NZ Commentators are easily the worst, they dont have insight into the game nor do they have any character.

Everything is about NZ

i am sure we remmber this from last year.. worst commentry every

my bets so far

£300 back of NZ @ 2.36 at start of play yesterday so my starting position was:

NZ +£408

PAK -£300

Draw -£300

when NZ were 50 something for 1 and trading at 1.94 I did a u-turn with a £430 Lay of NZ @ 1.94

so at the start of today's play my book read:

NZ +£3.80

PAK +£130

Draw +£130

at lunch on day 2 with Pak at 67/1 the current prices are now

NZ 6.60

PAK 1.77

Draw 3.45

there's a lot of cricket still to be played and both sides are capable of collapsing at any time. NZ trading at 1.94 on Day 1 was a MUG price and had to be laid

likewise PAK at 1.77 on Day 2 (and they have to bat last) is also a MUG price has has to be taken on. So it's time for a second u-turn

I've just fired in a £100 BACK of NZ @ 6.60

my book now reads:

NZ +£563.80

PAK +£30

Draw +£30

easy money

i'm sure i'll be doing many more such u-turns by the time this test has finished

 

[Decipher]

Inswinger ... thank you for updating me with the relevant information.

 

[Knightrider]

Aamer Sohail was a good commentator.

[cricket_fan_1]

[Seen Sheen]

Get off strike, Azhar..

 

[shan]

Azhar you are not good enough to hit a six.

 

[Inswinger]

Come on Azhar. Just concentrate.

 

[saqlain]

Its almost 1pm here.

I thought you are in UK. Guess you are not

 

[ZAK]

[Inswinger]

Azhar you are not good enough to hit a six.

You don't have to be good to hit a six.

 

[ZAK]

I thought you are in UK. Guess you are not

I am in the UK but your time is wrong.

 

[saqlain]

These two batsmen are doing good. Lets hope they will give at leats a century stand to Pakistan.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Azhar you are not good enough to hit a six.

How do you know. Its just that he lost his shape going for a slog. Otherwise I've seen him lofting spinners straight..

 

[Ryankhan]

good fight back by pak after 1st wkt fell.

 

[Decipher]

Lo ji ... typical Pakistani stuff .... a few good balls that u cant put away to improvise for singles and doubles ... and the rush of blood for a stupid shot .... khana kharab ... take a single and rotate the strike instead

 

[Seen Sheen]

ZAK, it should be 1am not 1pm..

 

[saqlain]

I am in the UK but your time is wrong.

I think you mean 1am right?

 

[ZAK]

is azhar trying to throw his wicket?

He's actually done this before as well. He usually does this when he is bogged down.

 

[saqlain]

ZAK, it should be 1am not 1pm..

Thanks

 

[ZAK]

I think you mean 1am right?

My bad.

 

[saqlain]

He's actually done this before as well. He usually does this when he is bogged down.

He played really well during the matches against England last year.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

phantom to taufeeq

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 71/1.

 

[ZAK]

He played really well during the matches against England last year.

Yes he did quite well for a rookie in alien conditions.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Brilliant change of pace by Dan...

 

[ZAK]

1 to Ali.

 

[saqlain]

If I am not mistaken he had a couple of really good innings during that tour. Lets hope he would be in his game quick and score some good runs during this tour.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Commies mute button isn't mute.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

72/1

[Seen Sheen]

Azhar gone, nicks one to the keeper.
Should've left this one..

 

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

Backing Azhar for his maiden hundred myself.

You jinxed him bro

 

[saqlain]

Some of you folks are being harsh or sarcastic about commentators. Whats really going on with them? I have no idea what they are saying.

 

[ace4rmspace]

That was actually Vettori's doing that wicket.

 

[Boi]

 

[JibranAnsari]

lame way to get out. flawed technique.

 

[Boi]

Azhar's out, I'm going to sleep.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Why did he play at that?

Younis in. Let's hope there isn't a collapse here.
