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

[*sallu*]

Timed it well, no elevation :\

 

[pakbl10]

Good lead. Lets bowl them out quickly now!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Could have got at least a 100!

Still, handy lead

But also still an excellent batting pitch, so I don't know

 

[ZAK]

So we end up with a lead of 92.

 

[IAJ]

What a soft dismissal! gul, tanveer and riaz showing to much respect to vettori. should have attacked him.

Good lead though!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

now we need to get some wickets with the new bowl

 

[qaiser]

nvir

Ramiz got another wicket

 

[emclub]

This is a dead track 92 lead isnt much

 

[talha3]

What a coincidence, we're exactly half way in the match and both 1st innings have been completed.

 

[AZ]

LOL, why can't the ball stay low from halfway down the pitch?

who said it can't? just makes it even more funny!

 

[JibranAnsari]

wahab should have come before tanvir and even gul. His batting is wasted.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

we need to get about 3-4 wickets before they erase the lead

 

[Inswinger]

Fell 8 runs short of the desired lead.

 

[ballack13]

If pak can get early wickets before NZ take lead it would be good.

ideally get 3 wickets in 1st session.

 

[iafzal]

I see Pakistan required to make close to 300 runs on day 5 to win.

 

[talha3]

This is a dead track 92 lead isnt much

If 92 isn't much then surely it's going to be a draw.

 

[JibranAnsari]

danish kaneria would have been very useful here in this situation to get us wickets.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

now gull wil bowl some rippers

 

[nads_rocks]

92 runs lead is better than a lead of 50 or 60, its not the best deserved more atleast 150 but oh well, still a good contribution down the order.

Now aim to get some early wickets especially McCullum!!!

 

[qaiser]

I see Pakistan required to make close to 300 runs on day 5 to win.

I don't think NZ will make 392

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan will be chasing something around 250 to 275 , wont be easy.

 

[cricfan967]

wahab should have come before tanvir and even gul. His batting is wasted.

please compare their stats

 

[ballack13]

PAK should defo not lose here they have secured a Draw.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

our bowlers really need to work their magic now and get a few wickets in the 1st session.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

we need to get mcculums wicket early

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rehman will be key

 

[qaiser]

danish kaneria would have been very useful here in this situation to get us wickets.

maybe should try YK and Azhar Ali bowling leg breaks

 

[emclub]

danish kaneria would have been very useful here in this situation to get us wickets.

for a minute I thought you'r talking about his batting

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

if mcculum sets in then ...

 

[Inswinger]

If we can get 3 wickets before the Kiwi surpass our lead then we'll be in a dominant position. Anything less will be too close to call.

 

[Decipher]

Macullum will butcher this lead in matter of minutes and Pak will have nothing but long faces and no plan how to take 10 wickets.. while Ross Taylor will add to misery. lead of 90 is nothing on this wicket

 

[Inswinger]

How long is the innings break? 10 minutes?

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

McCullum's wicket will be key

 

[UP]

C'mon Pakistan!

 

[Inswinger]

Macullum will butcher this lead in matter of minutes and Pak will have nothing but long faces and no plan how to take 10 wickets.. while Ross Taylor will add to misery. lead of 90 is nothing on this wicket

Brother, do you ever have anything positive to say?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

i will watch till the end of this session then im of to bed

 

[Inswinger]

C'mon Pakistan!

LOL, What was that for?

 

[emclub]

Can Tanveer reach upto 130 kms per hour, thats the question

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

@ decipher next time try to be positive

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

i will watch till the end of this session then im of to bed

I will most probably aswell

 

[JibranAnsari]

lets hope riaz and tanvir give some some good early wickets.

 

[qaiser]

I will most probably aswell

that's a great PS for all the confusion, frustration you been through on PP

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

lets hope riaz and tanvir give some some good early wickets.

Insha'allah they will. that would be great for us

 

[AZ]

Macullum will butcher this lead in matter of minutes and Pak will have nothing but long faces and no plan how to take 10 wickets.. while Ross Taylor will add to misery. lead of 90 is nothing on this wicket

aur kuch? can you give me the lottery numbers for next week as well?

 

[masterblaster10]

NEedto be tight once the new ball is gone. Only way to getg wickets is by drying runs. Keep NZ below 1.8-2 RR

 

[ZAK]

Here we go...

 

[qaiser]

lets hope riaz and tanvir give some some good early wickets.

Great.

BE POSITIVE

 

[AZ]

Mcintosh off the mark with a quick single.

 

[Desi]

he's a ninja

 

[nads_rocks]

McCullum is the wicket we need first do not let him get going!!!

 

[qaiser]

kiwis are miles ahead of Pakistan in rotating strikes

 

[JibranAnsari]

aur kuch? can you give me the lottery numbers for next week as well?

banning yourself for a day?

 

[UP]

LOL, What was that for?

Sorry?

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Comms having a giggling fit in the bckground

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I hate Rameez Raja ...cheesy commentary.

 

[Inswinger]

Sorry?

When I made that post you had a simple in your post

Never mind.

 

[optimusprime1122]

Ramiz with gayish lines
go hard
skim
relationship
damn embarrassing
its just the way he says it

 

[1137moiz]

92 is a handy lead. Not huge but OK. People overestimate the batting-friendliness of flat tracks, this one is starting to wear a bit

 

[talha3]

Mcculum underway

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Oh no the first boundary

 

[AZ]

nicely put away thru square leg.

 

[Obeid]

Hmm, this lead seems nothing now after that shot

 

[Seen Sheen]

I've got a feeling McCullum will fail today...

 

[Watsupdoc]

prepare for the 2 and a half wickets falling before the lead is overhauled (based on the theory of the kiwi commie)

 

[talha3]

This lead may not last for long...

 

[JibranAnsari]

gul bowls too short , bad bowling. i would rathar bowl wahab and tanvir.

 

[UP]

When I made that post you had a simple in your post

Never mind.

Was just having fun

 

[ZAK]

7/0.

 

[emclub]

Its gonna be a loooong day

 

[shan]

Ofcourse gul have done horrible.

 

[AZ]

didn't someone make a thread that Gul's average was 43?

its 35.something...

 

[Watsupdoc]

mccullum off to a flier

 

[masterblaster10]

Ramiz with gayish lines
go hard
skim
relationship
damn embarrassing
its just the way he says it

I shall continue..

Break you rythym..break your heart!!

 

[talha3]

Tanvir Ahmed's pace

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

NZ 4.20

PAK 2.18

Draw 3.15



draw price is too big, Pak price is too short, and NZ price is about right imo

i expect all three results to trade at 3.00 at some point

my book still reads

NZ +£563.80

PAK +£30.00

Draw +£30.00

as soon as NZ touch sub 3.00 i'll be trading off some of that +£563 to even my book out with a slight bias towards the draw

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Tanvir starts with 124 kph!!

 

[talha3]

didn't someone make a thread that Gul's average was 43?

its 35.something...

in 2010...

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I shall continue..

Break you rythym..break your heart!!

'the one and only brendon mccullum - likes to dominate the opposition.='

 

[nads_rocks]

Right if we don't get McCullum out in the next 5 overs i'm going to retire to bed 2am here!!!

 

[masterblaster10]

I shall continue..

Break you rythym..break your heart!!

and more...

Tanvir ahmed like to keep it up.. (yikes)
