Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test - Day 1 | Dunedin | 24/11/09

[GLORY OF '92]

RA ajmal hasn't been poor it's just the pitch has nothing for him at the moment. He's got containing job- going at 2 an over.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Taylor must have scored 30-40 runs off edges .

 

[Afridi_Fan]

How the hell such a small ground can be approved by ICC, it is ridiculously small.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Right guys I am off to bed and I want some good news when I wake up. My close of play prediction 256/7. Optimistic ehh?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Gotta feel for Gul..he is bowling really well..but luck is not on his side!

Shab Bakhair!

 

[khizer123]

They need to try something new, give fawad alam the ball for an over b4 tea

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Fulton needs to get out...I just have a feeling the guy is going to score a 50!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

171/3 at Tea.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Shouldn't the ball be reverse swinging now?

 

[Random Aussie]

RA ajmal hasn't been poor it's just the pitch has nothing for him at the moment. He's got containing job- going at 2 an over.

I think he has been poor in comparison to the other 3.

 

[khizer123]

Yousaf I think seems to be an one dimensional captain not very inventive. Even when Ajmal was bowling he wasnt attacking, he had men on the boundary.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think he has been poor in comparison to the other 3.

Because the spinner was bowling on 1st day deck before Tea.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yousaf I think seems to be an one dimensional captain not very inventive. Even when Ajmal was bowling he wasnt attacking, he had men on the boundary.

Oh Hello?

Khair hai?

You didnt saw those 3 men around the bat when new man came onto pitch?

You didnt saw 4 slips and a gully earlier in the day?

What will you do if two batsmen are well set, have men around the bat so that they can score quickly?

This is ridiculous.

 

[Desi]

Omg you guys are right! Where's our matchwinner kaneria, what were we ever thinking when we wanted him dropped?! If he was there we'd probly have em bowled out by now right?!?!11

This is ridiculous.

That was in the second session when the batsmen became set, i am talking about the end of the first session, when the batsmen were on the ropes, Yousaf should have gone for the kill. Nevertheless, Yousaf is doing a better job than I expected.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

How does cricinfo label Aamer and Gul as left arm fast medium and right arm fast medium?

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

I agree. He is trying his best. Can't expect anymore. Hope the captaincy pressure doesn' affect his batting performance.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We are back On.

Still 1 session a piece or Kiwis edge by 1.5 to 0.5 sessions so far.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

to start the session.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The best thing will be to get them out in this session. If not possible get 3-4 wickets.

 

[Random Aussie]

My stream has been hijacked by Sri Lanka/India. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Poison]

Very flaaaaaaaaaaaaat track. They could rack up 500 and we'd rack up 500 aswell.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Come on Pakistan!! GET TAYLOR!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Taylor

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Mohammad Yousuf aka Pakistani Jhonty Rhodes

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Gul has absolutely no luck today!

Gotta feel for the guy!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

All of a sudden my stream has started to play the quiz,"Aagey kia ho ga?"

As the bowler is about to deliver it stops as if asking me to guess what bowl is he going to bowl.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gul has absolutely no luck today!

Gotta feel for the guy!

Kion ab kia ho gaya

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Ajmal gets TAYLOR!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

iDone

 

[mmkextreme_1]

guess who catches a catch!! MR. FARHAT!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

guess who catches a catch!! MR. FARHAT!

PCB announces Rs 1 Billion per catch for Farhat.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Farhat redeems himself with a fine catch in the slips.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Kion ab kia ho gaya

It was almost an edge..a good bowl..but he is just not finding the edge and when he does..it goes into no man land..

 

[mmkextreme_1]

PCB announces Rs 1 Billion per catch for Farhat.

BIG mistake by the PCB..now he will drop a few more..lol..

 

[sehban]

hey guys just woke up, quite surprised to see the score at 192/4
pretty decent score, is the pitch flat or something or Pakistanis have just bowled badly

 

[tauseefm]

Malik Down Malik Down(in the field), need back up NOW!!!

 

[khanlala]

PCB announces Rs 1 Billion per catch for Farhat.

does PCB even have that much money?

 

[mmkextreme_1]

We need to get Gran Elliot quick..he has an average of 9 in test match cricket..I really hope Pakistan doesn't let either one of these batsmen hit 50!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

hey guys just woke up, quite surprised to see the score at 192/4

The track is flat Mr Local Captain.

 

[insaaniyat]

hey guys just woke up, quite surprised to see the score at 192/4

Fielded badly till the last catch

 

[mmkextreme_1]

flat pitch and also some pathetic catching by Pakistan aka Imran Farhat! But he did amend himself with the catch of Taylor thou...

after the new ball their has been very little on the pitch.......not as good a bowling pitch as advertised

 

[mmkextreme_1]

NZL just passed 200...

201/4

Fulton goes into the 20's...we need another wicket before the new bowl!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

OMG motoo took a catch!

 

[coy0607]

the commentators are ripping into yousuf...... rightly fully so imo

 

[ahsan17]

Oh dear me. New Zealand's number 6 averages 7.75 in 3 tests he played.

 

[slix10]

Can't wait for the new ball. (lol)

 

[Cover Drive]

Where is Saqlain Mushtaq? How come they never show him on the camera?

 

[Cover Drive]

Bowled!!

 

[tauseefm]

Typical Asif bowl.. Bowled emmmmmm

 

[WNC]

Asif gets through Fulton. 210 for 5

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

gone

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

How Fulton was able to score 29 runs we'll never know!

 

[haroonrasheed320]

The question is does Asif has that energy he used to have before, has he done any kind of rehabilitation to get rid of his addictions

 

[iZeeshan]

Any idea who's on top, according to the pitch?

 

[haroonrasheed320]

The pitch is so green & they have still managed to score 211/5

 

[insaaniyat]

out

 

[haroonrasheed320]

according to the pitch NZ is on top

 

[ali_ed2006]

Asif gets Elliot

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[insaaniyat]

[haroonrasheed320]

3rd scalp for Asif
