Pakistan V New Zealand | 1st Test | 08/01/11 | Hamilton | Day 2 | Session 3

[Torpedo]

We don't want fast scoring, we want singles doubles, at this rate this match isnt going anywhere its maiden after maiden, block after block, just going to end up in a wicket or 2.

This is the master plan by he is wearing the bowlers down then he will flog them with a whip.

 

[talha3]

good stuff misbah, looking more for singles now

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

1 to the wall

 

[cricfan967]

Woh..
Single for Misbah

 

[ZAK]

1 to Misbah. 149/4.

 

[shaykh1985]

Misbah is ultra defensive, this is a bit boring to be honest. Everyone went past 20 (barring Hafeez) except for Misbah. C'mon dude!

Hes not out which makes your comment pretty irrelevant...Adnan Akmal hasnt crossed 20 either yet

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single! woohoo!

149/4

my point exactly...well said

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Why isnt misbah unleashing man

 

[Sledger]

Martin on. Misblock leaves.

 

[emclub]

Misbah's scored 1 run off Vettori in 30 balls

 

[qaiser]

wearing down or boring them to death

 

[JibranAnsari]

entertaining cricket by pakistan , smashing the kiwis big time

 

[Decipher]

Pak batsmen in a way are just waiting for another wicket to fall ... there is hardly any plan to take lead before the end of the day without losing more than two wickets

 

[Sledger]

Just need one more to bring up the 150.

 

[Decipher]

Another soft dismissal is on the cards

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Misbah baaz aja

 

[emclub]

watching paint dry is more exciting

overreaction

 

[Looney]

how many times have we seen this ?

 

[qaiser]

entertaining cricket by pakistan , smashing the kiwis big time

you must be watching highlights of the last t20

 

[pakistani_sher]

my prediction till stumps all maiden

 

[Sledger]

Edged and didn't carry. No ball though.

 

[GOAT]

Hes not out which makes your comment pretty irrelevant...Adnan Akmal hasnt crossed 20 either yet

Everyone who's faced 50 balls has made at least 20 but Misbah. Are you happy now smart ass? Clearly my comment was about his s/r being low.

 

[emclub]

Misbah edged that 2 wake up NZ slippers

 

[ZAK]

No ball.

 

[talha3]

i wish he had caught that. the look on the NZ faces would have been priceless

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

No ball

 

[Sledger]

Poor shot by Misbah. A prod away from the body

 

[pakistani_sher]

if that carried it wouldent matter

 

[Amjid Javed]

No ball, edge and just infront of slip

150 up for pakistan.

 

[JellyBro]

they're killing the match with their negative batting

 

[nads_rocks]

I think we'll be batting very late into Day 3 and still not have a lead, Misbah has already decided to play for a draw, as a captain he is way tooo defensive. This was the best chance of today to get closer to or some sort of lead above New Zealand but that chance has gone to waste.

 

[ZAK]

150 up!

 

[Decipher]

edge ... just look at this super under confident shot from a batsman who has been on the crease for a couple of hours now

 

[Sledger]

150 up!

 

[emclub]

my prediction till stumps all maiden

hahahahhaha.....who told u that Majid Bhatti

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i wish he had caught that. The look on the nz faces would have been priceless

hahahah

 

[Sledger]

Shot by Misblock

 

[emclub]

Shot

 

[pakistani_sher]

:4

 

[Sledger]

4 down the ground.

 

[pakbl10]

 

[shan]

Pakistani batting looked better against SA on similar wicket and much better bowling.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Yesssssssssssssssssssss. Misbah :$$

 

[qaiser]

how many times have we seen this ?

I though Geo super claimed to be the only channel televising the series

 

[pakistani_sher]

taras hi gaye they :4 ke liye

 

[talha3]

Misbah gets a 4...coming up next 20 dots. next 4 due after that

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[Sledger]

"You have to admire Misbah's patience" )

 

[Amjid Javed]

straight drive for 4

 

[cricfan4ever]

we should be looking to get a big lead...but by playing with an overly defensive approach we will only bring upon our own downfall by getting frustrated...which ALWAYS happens...and also they are eating up overs...remember this pitch is flat, so we need to give our bowlers as much time as we can to bowl NZ out fast...

Happened with Taufeeq Umar, Younis Khan lost concentration too, played a loose shot...

no one is asking to hit boundaries...but u have to look to rotate strike...it just doesn't work this way...

you have to be thinking of ways to unsettle the bowlers...blocking is not the way...

 

[Torpedo]

Am I the only one enjoying the ongoing proceedings?

 

[Looney]

i wish he had caught that. the look on the NZ faces would have been priceless

What have they done to you ? Isn't torturing them enough ? )

 

[emclub]

Misbah will break record if he gets the chance

 

[Sledger]

Over.

154/4

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Its 3.40am

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 154/4

Shafiq to face vettori.

 

[Looney]

I though Geo super claimed to be the only channel televising the series

No , Sky and Neo are also showing it

 

[ZAK]

154/4.

 

[talha3]

True!

 

[Sledger]

55 overs survived.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Its proper test cricket! so its good to watch!

 

[shaykh1985]

Your comment made no mention about SR's only scores...and if your comment is about SR's then who cares about SR's...we were 107/4 looking like we were going to collapse and now we have added 47 runs and the partnership is still going...

Honestly if you want quick runs then go watch T20 cricket...this is ugly cricket and its slow but we're getting closer and closer to NZ's first innings score...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

am i the only one enjoying the ongoing proceedings? :d

according to your time zone.

 

[Sledger]

Big grouping of close fielders for Asad.

 

[talha3]

did vetorri just sarcastically yawn at shafiq?

Pretty simple basic human logic and common sense should recognize this fact .... i dunno hamaray players kis mitti kay bannay huvay hain

 

[Sledger]

Down the track and lofted for 4.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

444asad

 

[Sledger]

50 partnership.

 

[ZAK]

to

 

[talha3]

After 18 dot balls to shafiq, asad goes to the attack

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Thats much better

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely shot by shafiq for 4!

50 partnership up!

 

[Sledger]

117 behind now.

 

[Torpedo]

Its proper test cricket! so its good to watch!

Yeh this is much better to watch than brainless slogging.

 

[Sledger]

Nice footwork by Shafiq now. Looks to be growing in confidence against spin.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Asad on 34

 

[Decipher]

There u go ,,,, frustration came out and Shafiq got lucky to hit a boundary ... Misbah must be telling him ,,,, ahista khelo ... khayal se khelo ... araam sey khelo

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good use of the feet and impressive thing was that he went straight..
