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

[Oxy]

what the story with afridi and test cricket?

Once upon a time......Ramadhan break.....T20 MVP......T20 captain...me no tests....

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Bring on the spinner. We need wickets. There is only one spinner so keep pacers fresh by rotating at one end

moyo asking whose the captain??

 

[Oxy]

41-2

 

[Afridi_Fan]

in conversation with his deputy

 

[hashmist]

How do you drop a catch like that and still call yourself a professional cricketer??

 

[12thMan]

So Imran Farhat took a blow to his head while his hands went sleepwalking?!

so are you saying he tried to headbut the ball to the big gloves of Kaneria? I salute him for this

 

[Oxy]

OUCH! Taylor struck on the body

Aamer shows intent!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Taylor ke moon per laga tamacha.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Ajmal will be brought on hopefully after Aamer's over.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Aa & e time :aamir

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Once upon a time......Ramadhan break.....T20 MVP......T20 captain...me no tests....

Brilliantly put into words.

 

[Kean0]

Once upon a time......Ramadhan break.....T20 MVP......T20 captain...me no tests....

thats a nice little story

sad i think we cudve done with his spin

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Aamer showing Taylor who's the boss. :aamir

 

[Seen Sheen]

Oh my GOd,,,,,,another chance goes bagging.......Gul was the culprit this time

 

[SpiritOf1903]

thats a nice little story

sad i think we cudve done with his spin

his fielding alone! another one!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Inswinger]

A better fielder would have taken that.

 

[Oxy]

Jeez Umar Gul - thats a shocking attempt at a catch

SIX!

Should have been OUT!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Goes through Gul's hand for 6 thats another chance gone begging!

 

[*syed59*]

There we go again... this time its Gul..should have been more behind

 

[Afridi_Fan]

2Drops.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Guptill is one lucky man.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

2Drops.

man, you're becoming indian - that was a stunning hit

 

[jazba]

gul should've come down with that one...another drop in my books

 

[Amir]

Just got home, who was the first drop? (on our side)

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

as always, pakistani fielders dont 'expect' a catch. gul should complain to aamer why did that ball came to me?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Cricinfo says it was a chance.

 

[saeed-sohail]

I am getting bad vibes about guptill.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Just got home, who was the first drop? (on our side)

Farhat bhai.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

15 over partnership . . don't alow them to settle

 

[Seen Sheen]

ohhh,good yorker from JUL

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Gul just bowl your yorkers like you did to them in the T20 encounter.

 

[Zaid23]

gul bowling at good speed

 

[*syed59*]

almost got through

 

[Oxy]

Gul owes us - he can redeem himself with a wkt before lunch

 

[kamranO]

good yorker by gul

 

[saeed-sohail]

Afridi fan maine tum se ek sawaal kiya tha aap ne jawab nahin dya.

 

[Oxy]

48-2 off 21 overs

 

[Wiji]

Beautiful 143km/h yorker from Gul. Ross Taylor dug it out. Could've easily been bowled. Great cricket!

 

[Oxy]

Pifty up

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 up.

 

[12thMan]

Gul 6 overs 5 maidens but no wicket

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Aamer is getting tired. Ajmal should be brought on now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Afridi fan maine tum se ek sawaal kiya tha aap ne jawab nahin dya.

Kia sawal, sorry didnt see.

 

[*syed59*]

[Oxy]

Who is our 4th seaming option?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gul 6 overs 5 maidens but no wicket

Thanks to Javaii

 

[Oxy]

Aamer just tiring - good stroke for 4 though

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Tumari nazerain kahan bhatak rahi hain?
Umar ka lihaz karo hazoor.

Ok ab sirf un ko dekhon ga jinhon ney kaprey pehney hoon gaye.

 

[Wiji]

6 overs from Gul. 5 maidens and 1 run.

Guptill looking dangerous now. Should've been out...twice.

 

[*syed59*]

Yousuf should manage the pacers until lunch. Hold Ajmal of bowling just yet.

 

[12thMan]

no other fast bowler if the team is this and Moyo will reveal himself as a left arm fast inswinging outswinger

Pakistan: 1 Khurram Manzoor, 2 Imran Farhat, 3 Fawad Alam, 4 Mohammad Yousuf (capt), 5 Umar Akmal, 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Mohammad Aamer, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Mohammad Asif, 11 Saeed Ajmal

[Seen Sheen]

another 4444444

 

[Oxy]

Asif back on - we'll get a token gesture over from Ajmal at 12.55

 

[tauseefm]

guys, a question regarding to willow stream. Is it possible i can login from same account through another computer using same network?

 

[Kray_jackson7]

any bad decisions from umpires yet?

 

[Inswinger]

How about some spin before lunch?

 

[Seen Sheen]

a sweet chin music to !!

 

[12thMan]

Asif is back on.

he just needs 3 overs to get 3 wickets. I hope the 3 over spell is now as lunch is 20 minutes away

 

[Inswinger]

Some chin music for Ajmal.

 

[siccric]

Ooops, I woke up a little too late

[edit]

Looks like Pakistan aren't doing too badly. Wish I could've seen Mohd. Aamer's yorker live

 

[Oxy]

Only 3 seam options - what a risk, esp as its Asifs 1st game back

Fawad & Ajmal it is!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

One more wicket before lunch and this would be our session.

 

[Syndrome]

Only 3 seam options - what a risk, esp as its Asifs 1st game back

Fawad & Ajmal it is!

Malik will bowl before Fawad

 

[*syed59*]

Asif getting some late swing with this 23 overs old ball. Hope he bowls well just before and all through after lunch.

 

[Wiji]

I just started watching a couple of overs ago. Doesn't look like there's much help for the bowlers from the pitch. But they've been bowling really well.

 

[saeed-sohail]

iDone getting ready for tamasha I guess.

 

[*syed59*]

on

 

[Random Aussie]

Pakistan seam attack looks very good, great to be watching cricket at a reasonable hour for a change

 

[12thMan]

Aamer's average has gone over 40. He needs 2 wickets atleast to get it close to 30

 

[Afridi_Fan]

iDone

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Ajaml on now. Idone!!!!!

 

[saj001]

iDone come's to bowl

 

[Cover Drive]

Here comes Madni Bhai

 

[Oxy]

any bad decisions from umpires yet?

Just one. They selected Billy Doctrove

 

[Kray_jackson7]

what happened to ajmals chin?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Aamer's average has gone over 40. He needs 2 wickets atleast to get it close to 30

I wouldn't care about his average right now. He can bring it down because he's a good bowler.
