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

[osee_bhai]

Im expecting a decent innings from rehman, and two cameos from wahab and riaz. I feel like we will add 80+runs

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[Atif]

Remember Akmal is no mug with the bat, am sure he will chip in with a decent score, aswell as Rehman.

BTW looking forward to Gul & Wahab batting...

 

[JibranAnsari]

hope gul and wahab make 30 odd each. 30 from each of them will be nice. rahman , and i heard tanvir can bat as well. so we probably can get 100 more.

 

[Strike!]

Lucky

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

pak will get 50 plus lead

 

[talha3]

cmon adnan need a good innings from you.

 

[Inswinger]

The Kiwi commentators don't try and fide their allegiance. Why can't Rameez do the same. Does he have to be so negative about Pakistani players at all times.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

260/6

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

NZ 3.70

PAK 2.50

Draw 3.00

 

[Fallen King]

Both decisions of LBW didn't seem accurate, but URDS would have ruled them out as well. Either way, it's out. Time to move on.

 

[KSaeed]

pak will get 50 plus lead

Inshallah

 

[*sallu*]

Just need 2 40 odd run partnerships

It will get easier now, ball is getting older

 

[cricket_fever]

pak will get 50 plus lead

a lead of 50 wont be enough.....

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

vettori will go for akmal

 

[saeed-sohail]

Kya hua?

 

[JibranAnsari]

All those saying UDRS would have given benefit of doubt to batsman are wrong. Any part fo the ball hitting the stumps on hawkeye is good enough.

yea u r right , but yar there are lots of bad decision which could be avoided like the mccullum not out in the nz innings. little things cost a lot to the team.

 

[*sallu*]

And for all those saying both weren't not out, stop complaining, both were marginal and fair enough calls.

Remember how we got Reese Young out, didn't hear anyone complain then?

 

[Inswinger]

They weren't bad decisions, they were both hitting the stumps :/
Some would call that Asad decision a really good decision actually.

9/10 umpires wouldn't give that out. Too much doubt and the benefit always goes to the batsman.

 

[cricket_fever]

Just need 2 40 odd run partnerships

It will get easier now, ball is getting older

umpires are getting blinder

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Doull cant stop smiling and why not eh

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

The Kiwi commentators don't try and fide their allegiance. Why can't Rameez do the same. Does he have to be so negative about Pakistani players at all times.

coz ramiz is a big chuduu

 

[chui_kadoo]

Bond in the house, Shane Bond that is

 

[Seen Sheen]

Misbah got a good one, gotta say this, nipped back quite a long way. But, Asad's dismissal was disappointing, played around a straight one.

Now all depends upon A. Rehman, and other tailenders to give us some sort of lead. Have high hopes from Wahab and Tan.

 

[ScotRaz]

The Kiwi commentators don't try and fide their allegiance. Why can't Rameez do the same. Does he have to be so negative about Pakistani players at all times.

suppose he has to, otherwise the other commies wont invite him when they go out drinking, I guess!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

rehman is good batter

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hes a smooth operator

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

arnel is world class swing bowler.lol

 

[1137moiz]

Bond is commentating well, Doull is crap

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

boring

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rehman needs to rotate the strike

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

run maroo yaara

 

[Inswinger]

Rehman looks competent with the bat. He should get 25-20 runs here.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

just 25 runs in 1 hour.omg

 

[cricfan967]

These 2 shouldn't go in a shell
attack!

 

[saeed-sohail]

I promised 100 rums from adnan+bowlers last night.Time to deliver.

 

[Inswinger]

Bond is commentating well, Doull is crap

Bond and to some extent Richardson are the only commentators worth listening to.

 

[cricfan967]

Sharjah?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

260/6

 

[Gotham Cronie]

why isnt udrs being used? they have all the technology to apply udrs . just cant understand , we keep on criticizing india for not using udrs. why arent we using it?

They both would still be out even if UDRS was in this series.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Hopefully Adnan and Rehman will get a good partnership of about 50+

 

[ZAK]

Maiden. 260/6.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Where did Ramiz raja play his last game for Pakistan???????????????????????

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Just came back to see us 260-6 !

We'll be fortunate to get to 320+

 

[*sallu*]

I promised 100 rums from adnan+bowlers last night.Time to deliver.

They should do it, conditions are flat

Only need 2 out of 5 to fire

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Not really as he could have been given the benefit of the doubt as the ball just clipped the stumps according to hawk eye

No, it would have stayed with the on field umpire's call.

 

[JibranAnsari]

ramiz raza tries to be too diplomatic and in the process becomes almost anti pakistani. i hate him

 

[Gotham Cronie]

on review shatfiq wouldnt be out

Yes, he would.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Man, Im missing Big Mac's commentating already

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Benefit of the doubt goes to batsman. Poor decision by Harper.

No, it would have stayed with the on field umpire's call.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

akmal should counter attack

 

[cricfan967]

Over slips

 

[AZ]

an Akmal special, comin' right up! :adnan



Haha there it is!

 

[Atif]

Edged and over the slips for by Akmal

 

[chui_kadoo]

Knicked and over the top. runs

 

[Strike!]

Abdul Rehman is looking solid in defence.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Adnan

Over the slips

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

4

 

[ZAK]

to :adnan

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Four

 

[cricfan967]

Scared me for a sec

 

[MRSN]

Misbah got a good one, gotta say this, nipped back quite a long way. But, Asad's dismissal was disappointing, played around a straight one.

Now all depends upon A. Rehman, and other tailenders to give us some sort of lead. Have high hopes from Wahab and Tan.

Yes that came in sharply but Asad was unlucky >>chote qad ka yahi nuqsan hai >>you don't get LBW decisions in your favor

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Very streaky.

 

[cricfan967]

Trail by 11

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

thats better

 

[pakbl10]

edged and four. Second one for Akmal.

 

[chui_kadoo]

more

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Adnan again

2 in 2 balls

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

4 more

 

[cricfan967]

more

boom boom akmal

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

That was close

YAY 4 again.

 

[Inswinger]

No, it would have stayed with the on field umpire's call.

I know. If he had been given not out and the Kiwis had challenged then it would have remained not out. I was talking about the original decision. Most of the time, the umpires give it to the batsman.

 

[Atif]

more for Akmal

 

[ZAK]

Flicked off the pads for by :adnan

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

more.

 

[AZ]

and we're off!

 

[Afridirocks]

2 in a row

 

[hussnainn]

this was a better shot :4

 

[pakbl10]

more! haha

 

[Seen Sheen]

I promised 100 rums from adnan+bowlers last night.Time to deliver.

They are well capable of doing that! Especially A. Rehman has a pretty good temperament for a tailender. He won't throw away his wicket.
