[Momo]

Then historians will wonder how did Afridi achieve this feat of playing 400 odd tests? And scientist will wonder..how is Afridi still 35 only lol..


While I right this..Aamer back on..and takes a wicket!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyy!

Come on Waqar, err Aamer, tell NZers who is boss!

 

[insaaniyat]

Partnership broken, hope we get few more quick wickets

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good captaincy, 3 men around the bat

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Terrible shot selection by Guptil. Didn't have the eye on the ball.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Anyone fancies fish fingers and chicken nuggets!I am feeling hungry now.

Get another wicket :aamir

 

[12thMan]

However, I feel batsman gave away his wicket

ofcourse he did. He was hitting a six there but a mis hit

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

oh gr8 catch from Fawad

 

[coy0607]

you guys think the pakistani batting is weak.......have a look at the nz batting.......no one averages over 40, outside mcullum no over averages even over 34.....4 guys below 30 in the top 7 and someone below 10 in the top 7

 

[Afridi_Fan]

145/3

 

[insaaniyat]

ofcourse he did. He was hitting a six there but a mis hit

There was no need for that shot. Well I hope they play few more shots like that

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Farhat really needs to learn something from Fawad!! Farhat really should hang his head in shame!

Fawad covered 15-20 meters and caught that bowl..and Farhat couldn't catch a simple one! Pathetic really!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

you guys think the pakistani batting is weak.......have a look at the nz batting.......no one averages over 40, outside mcullum no over averages even over 34.....4 guys below 30 in the top 7 and someone below 10 in the top 7

Currently, Ross Taylor averages above 40.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

who is this Oyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee guy in the field?

 

[asadee]

oyeee = yousuf

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamir bowling at 145k

 

[Gollum]

you guys think the pakistani batting is weak.......have a look at the nz batting.......no one averages over 40, outside mcullum no over averages even over 34.....4 guys below 30 in the top 7 and someone below 10 in the top 7

Yet they are 145 for 3

We have to get them out for 250 or so. Over 300 will be hard to overcome.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pitched way out of the leg stump

[Afridi_Fan]

[mmkextreme_1]

That was close...great bowling by Aamer!

 

[Gollum]

Good pressure by Aamir!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on who is thos oye hoye hoye hoye hoyeeeeeeeeeee guy

 

[saj001]

[coy0607]

aamer has really impressed me with his speed today....this is first time iv seen his bowl this fast in longer spells

 

[Oxy]

I cant stay awake no longer! 3.15am. Such are the sacrifices that we make to watch our team play...

Back up in 4.5 hrs time

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Well done :aamir

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

the oye hoyes coming after every ball now... who is he?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

I cant stay awake no longer! 3.15am. Such are the sacrifices that we make to watch our team play...

Back up in 4.5 hrs time

Yeap we USA fans do that whenever Pakistan play on the subcontinent..but playing down under is great!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

aamer has really impressed me with his speed today....this is first time iv seen his bowl this fast in longer spells

Thanks God you are impressed.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Come on Idone!

 

[slix10]

Great maiden over by Aamer. 145/3.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Butt bade ghussey wich nazar aanda yaar khair te hai?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Really need to take Ajmal off..he is not looking threatening at all! Need to bring Gul on!

 

[hashmist]

Everybody bowl good, pitch flat.

You forgot the main story..Pakistan missed two catches early when score was 30 odd for 2 that could've changed the complexion of the game. Farhat and Gul the culprits.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3 TO tAYLOR.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Butt bade ghussey wich nazar aanda yaar khair te hai?

plz take punjaabi to the punjaabi thread

 

[Zahid87]

What does the pitch look like? Is there anything in it? Can't believe im up at this time!

 

[itduzz]

We are missing

 

[saeed-sohail]

Vettori,s beard no more.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

We are missing

no we are not..

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Come on Aamer get a wicket!

 

[Random Aussie]

Moyo seems to belong to the Ricky Ponting school of spin captaincy.

Bowl them forever regardless of whether they are causing problems or not.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged through the gap

 

[Afridi_Fan]

150 up

 

[Fallen King]

We are missing

Don't start with me on giving 54 runs in 4 overs with no wicket at all.

Good performance so far. Thoroughly enjoyed the first session. Sadly, Pakistani bowlers remain unlucky so far especially Mohammad Asif.

Whoever has PS3 can watch flash plugin player in browser live, connected to LCD.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Taylor has been really lucky with his edges today! The edges just deceive the fielders of his bat!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Taylor has really settled in now. I think he's aiming for a century.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt bade ghussey wich nazar aanda yaar khair te hai?

Butt di butt tey kisi ney butt maar dita

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pitch is flat now. Some seam with the new ball.

 

[hashmist]

plz take punjaabi to the punjaabi thread

Punjabi thread kiday hai?

 

[saeed-sohail]

plz take punjaabi to the punjaabi thread

Listen mate its 3.20am and you need bit of humour on commentary thread.Its got nothing to do with punjabi or balochi I am not a punjabi myself only a pakistani so stop picking on these trivial things and enjoy cricket.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Ball is 53 overs old. Can Gul the ball to reverse?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Moyo seems to belong to the Ricky Ponting school of spin captaincy.

Bowl them forever regardless of whether they are causing problems or not.

It seems that he is changing to

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Gul's back on. Hope to see some reverse swing.

 

[Desi]

Can someone quickly summarize asif's bowling. I read early on he was bowling a few jaffas, he looking as threatening as his former self?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

I really hope that Pakistan don't let Fulton go past 20! Really!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Butt should have started instead of farhat. Is liye usko ghusaa hai.

 

[classic]

good to see gul working the ball now

 

[Random Aussie]

"Axcellent delivery...right on money" :younis

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

I really hope that Pakistan don't let Fulton go past 20! Really!

He is looking clueless, isn't he!

 

[hashmist]

Listen mate its 3.20am and you need bit of humour on commentary thread.Its got nothing to do with punjabi or balochi I am not a punjabi myself only a pakistani so stop picking on these trivial things and enjoy cricket.

I agree with you mate.

Cheeel Fawad_Bhai and enjoy cricket. Its nice to see our cricketers playing in whites for a change.

 

[Cheguvera]

He is looking clueless, isn't he!

Pakistani bowlers and fielders are even more clueless...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pakistani bowlers and fielders are even more clueless...

Our fielders yes, but our bowlers are not.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Some of those aamir appeals are just ridiculous

 

[saj001]

146 from aamer

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pakistani bowlers and fielders are even more clueless...

That is really harsh.

 

[Random Aussie]

Aamer looking consistently dangerous. Actually all the seamers have bowled well, it is a high class attack. But Ajmal was poor and those catches hurt. And there is little in this pitch.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Pakistani bowlers and fielders are even more clueless...

Well with the exception of of a couple of catches dropped, I think Pakistan have performed decently. NZ have scored at less than 3 an over and lost 3 wickets. One more wicket here before tea and the honors would be even.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Need another wicket before tea only then I will be able to sleep in peace.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pakistani bowlers and fielders are even more clueless...

Keep the positivity going...

 

[mmkextreme_1]

He is looking clueless, isn't he!

I don't know why Pakistan has the ability of batsmen like these go on to score runs...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wow a diving stop and a direct hit for a change

 

[Kray_jackson7]

done my homework. now im off to bed. c ya later guyz and gals

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Whoever was the fielder on the 3 runs of Guls bowling..was running really lazily! Looked like Mohammad Asif!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged and
