Pakistan V New Zealand | 1st Test | 08/01/11 | Hamilton | Day 2 | Session 2

[ZAK]

80/2.

 

[ZAK]

Brent Arnel comes into the attack.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hardly "clearly out" tbh...a slight exaggeration on ur part?

I've explained it, had he nicked it YK would most probably have walked...

 

[ballack13]

Vettori not looking good at all.

Seems like he has got a cold or something.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

80/2

 

[KingKhanWC]

Need to get after Arnul if possible.

 

[Decipher]

another poorly executed shot by Taufeeq. inside edge for a single. this kinda batting really shows the actual class of a batsman. You been on the wicket for so long, almost put a 50 and then u play lose strokes ...

 

[ballack13]

Taufeeq anxious to not get out and he really wants that 50. of course.

 

[ZAK]

Taufeeq 2 away from his half-century.

 

[iZeeshan]

Disappointed with Azhar Ali's dismissal.

Was hoping he'd score a big one.

Fantasy team going down the drain. Hafeez gone for a duck, and Ali for 20-odd.

Let's hope we get a 100 partnership here.

 

[nads_rocks]

This is Test cricket, Taufeeq has been doing just fine with Azhar as his partner at the other end so why wouldn't he with Younis? Your comment was moronic, this isn't an LOI or a chase, what the hell would S/R have to do with anything?

Well we all know Pakistan are very slow at Test cricket and this is day 2, if you wanna get close to 275 or build a lead then you gotta keep the scoreboard moving, a few tight maiden overs could put pressure on both players, Taufeeq who is well settled and Younis Khan who takes time to settle in, we don't have a very strong batting line up. I know what test cricket is all about but we do not play well under pressure and are not the best at running between wickets also, Azhar and Taufeeq got Pakistan to a good start. Like I said if you don'g agree with what I said then thats your choice but don't be calling me a moron, learn abit of respect on how to speak to people you don't know. I aint here looking for an argument or anything i'm here to follow my team who I want to see do well!

 

[Looney]

oh thanks guys

 

[Amjid Javed]

Taufeeq needs to get a bug hundred here and one other pakistan batsmen needs to get some big runs aswell. Pakistan did well to get kiwis out for 270 earlier.

 

[cricfan967]

Taufeeq playing some loose strokes,

 

[cricfan967]

half an appeal, this isn't looking too solid

 

[ballack13]

Great finally, 1st few asian spotted.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

is losing focus...time to take a walk to the square leg and regroup

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 80/2.

 

[Watsupdoc]

this is not looking good Taufeeq stuck in 40s...

 

[ace4rmspace]

Patience.

 

[Strike!]

We are so **** at rotating the strike.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Taufeeq was 46 off 66, right now on 48 off 93...

2 runs in last 27 balls...this is asking for trouble...going into a shell...never serves our batsmen good ever!

 

[adiabbasi]

i feel a wicket going down

 

[ballack13]

Taufeeq needs to get a bug hundred here and one other pakistan batsmen needs to get some big runs aswell. Pakistan did well to get kiwis out for 270 earlier.

Yes agree really need some batsmen to fire.

But looking really loose. Can't manage to get runs. But inshallah once he gets that 50 nerves will settle.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Patience.

+1

Runs will come.

 

[ballack13]

Khan Sahib ... controlllll

 

[Seen Sheen]

YK square drives through gully region for a FOUR..

 

[ballack13]

YK got an outside edge but good for him. Takes him to 8 runs.

86/2 .

 

[ZAK]

2 to Younis. 86/2.

 

[ballack13]

I was so ahppy that SkySports were showing PAK series. But these comentators are just below avg standard.

86/2 after 27 overs.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yk picks up a couple more through covers to end the over...

86-2

 

[Seen Sheen]

Edge more like ...

Intermediate...

 

[ballack13]

A bit too fast i thought same 1st.

2 runs in last 27 balls...this is asking for trouble...going into a shell...never serves our batsmen good ever!

Taufeeq craps in his pants against any kind of spin.

He needs to use his feet and be patient.

 

[cricfan967]

Taufeeq hits that hard, straight to the fielder..
Struggling period for him

 

[cricket_fan_1]

:younis for 100 campaign

 

[ballack13]

Taufeeq needs to show patience he has played well.

 

[ZAK]

Taufeeq needs to get to his 50 ASAP or he might gift his wicket away.

 

[Looney]

:younis for 100 campaign

what a FUN 100 would that be

 

[Seen Sheen]

^^NZ are bowling well. Not giving much away after lunch. That's why his strike rate has gone down..

 

[*sallu*]

*** is with Taufeeq and giving slips fielding practice

 

[ace4rmspace]

I have a feeling Teetoo might give ...

 

[cricket_fan_1]

what a FUN 100 would that be

that FUN quote by younis is epic

 

[talha3]

good stuff taufeeq. 50!

 

[cricfan967]

fifty up for Toffee!

well played!

 

[Seen Sheen]

50 up!!

 

[ballack13]

Taufeeq needs to get to his 50 ASAP or he might gift his wicket away.

Yes every ball seems like he is gone.

YK nees to give him advice.

As i speak he got it. well played.

 

[pakbl10]

50 for Taufeeq!

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for Taufeeq and 50, well batted!

 

[MRSN]

Taufeeq needs to eat some toffees and cool down

 

[Watsupdoc]

50 well played

 

[ZAK]

to

50 for Umar. Well played Taufeeq.

 

[Decipher]

lol ... Taufeeq is going after EVERY ball now ... a walking wicket he always was and always will be

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Finally he gets a well played 50.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Well thats his 50, maybe that will get rid of the ants in his pants.

 

[shan]

I **** hate young Pakistanis take off helmet after 50!

 

[cricket_fan_1]

50

no calm down and grind it out

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Good thing that Younis had that chat with him.

 

[*sallu*]

Should not be trying this shot with 3 slips and a gulley

 

[ballack13]

Last fifty was in 2003.

Showing his avg it isnt bad at all. 39.96 Quite impressive.

Just an example how talent is wasted in Pakistan.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

helmet off for 50 ??

like they do for a 100

 

[cricfan967]

Needs to convert to a century but needs to stop playing such risky shots.

 

[cricfan4ever]

he finally gets his 50!!!!!!

everything he was hitting was going straight to fielders...thankfully he scores a 50 though!

well played now carry on

 

[Seen Sheen]

YK leaving the ball well...

 

[Decipher]

I **** hate young Pakistanis take off helmet after 50!

What else should they take off instead? Pants ?
