Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test - Day 2 | Dunedin | 25/11/09

[Oxy]

Theres your summary of Day 1.

Could have been a lot better had we held onto our catches & that nagging late partnership

Any thing over 320 and NZ will be in the box-seat....and Pak batting under pressure.
Play starts in an hour (23:00 GMT)

Good luck Pakistan

 

[Lethal]

Hope Pakistan pick up some quick wickets before I go to sleep.

 

[Sufian84]

im going to sleep but my laptop isnt far away.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

We should get NZ for about 330.. Anything in excess of 350 can pose serious problems given our fragile batting line-up.

 

[choclate]

350 would be the absolute max, any thing above that we will stand to have less than 50% of winning the match in 4th innings. 315 would give us one step ahead. 320-340 would probaby make it break-even i think. Need to remove Vetoria early as he scores fast and then wrap up the tail, i think MOYO took the new ball too early when Ajmal was bowling well with the old one yesterday.

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan should try not to get NZ out before first hour is over. It will give them enough time to see how pitch will behave for next 3-4 hours which will be very cruical other than coming back from lunch and losing wicket in the first or second over

 

[mindless slogging]

The pitch is really really small. i reckon even mishits could go for boundaries. 350 may be the par score.

But Guptill added 40 runs after being dropped, and so far Vettori has added 40 runs aswell. Costly.

 

[jatt799]

stupid **** drop catch cost us.catches win matches

 

[Lethal]

stupid **** drop catch cost us.catches win matches

Tell that to the Pakistani players. More importantly, the bloody coach. I think one of the commentators was saying that yesterday he saw them practicing slip catches and it was club standard.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Farhat should be punished like a third grader. He dropped two catches, and both players went on to score crucial runs. Kiwiws woul dhave been out by now had it not been for farhat.

And I dont udnerstand why is he out main slip catcher.

It was him?! issed: issed: issed:

He did the same at Lords in the first test against England in 2006....dropped like 3 EASY EASY EASY slip catches, cost us from bowling England (first innings, first day) for literally like 120ish!

 

[Boi]

That was just pathetic from Farhat.

Don't forget his pathetic catching performance in the 2004 home series versus India...probably cost us the series loss there...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhat Ilyas was being touted to be a better catcher than Butt!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

how come the coverage hasnt started yet

 

[Oxy]

how come the coverage hasnt started yet

Because Zee Cinema only join the coverage just as the bowler starts his run up - another 2 secs last night & they would have missed the 1st ball wicket!

haha o dear!

I was watching on ten sports. Are they doing the same? I started watching after the first over

 

[dblock]

how come the coverage hasnt started yet

Things never start on time when Pakistanis are involved

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vettori takes a quick single and nobody can stop it from happening!

 

[Cover Drive]

Pakistan should restrict NZ below 300

 

[Cover Drive]

Vettori takes a quick single and nobody can stop it from happening!

[The Godfather]

doubt that pak need a quick wicket here or 350 will be on for NZ

 

[Cheguvera]

Commentator just said that there was controversy with McCullums decision reversal last night and the complete evidence was withheld...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 run off the 1st over of DAY 2

 

[Deewana Mastana]

as fielding coach?!?

Sure!

 

[Cover Drive]

MoYo having words with Simon Taufeul

[Cover Drive]

4 by McCullum

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Unlucky Asif

Good ball though!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Why is there no 3rd slip this early in the morning, with a new ball?

 

[Cover Drive]

Quite far from Akmal

 

[Cover Drive]

Asif trying to be aggresive but McCullum is not interested in it

 

[161]

edged but no one at 3rd slip to collect it

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yar we need a wkt...anything above 325 is dangerous..:yousuf

That is under consideration.

 

[iZeeshan]

[Deewana Mastana]

They're easily making 2-3 runs per over

 

[HuZi]

[mindless slogging]

I can imagine Chris Martin making a run here.

 

[Cover Drive]

Beautiful shot

 

[Afridi_Fan]

290/6

Not looking good folks.

 

[Cover Drive]

Amazing shot it is!!

 

[HuZi]

commentator:

'' holy cow XD thats a beauty''

 

[offcutter]

These NZ players have a very solid technique, really impressed with McCulum and Vetori. The way they use their feet to get forward is a lesson for our batsmen.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good shot!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vettori nearing yet another half century and the Kiwis to their 300

 

[Oxy]

Zee Cinema not working for me (on cable in UK) - just me?

 

[azfar wali]

We need to get at least one more wicket before they reach 300

 

[Cover Drive]

I don't like Ten Sports ads

Where are you watching the game? I am not getting ads at all

 

[Oxy]

Damn - my cable is knackered. Oh well, early night it is...

 

[Cover Drive]

Aamer or Asif should bowl Vettori short pitched deliveries. I say aim at his helmet or shoulder

 

[HuZi]

New Zealdn will make 368+

 

[Seen Sheen]

Aamir should pepper Vettori with some bouncers...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The ball being inspected by the umpires

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And Doctrove just throws it back to Aamer

 

[Cover Drive]

Tehre you go Doctrove show is on

 

[iZeeshan]

I would really like to watch us bat, so please get everyone out before lunch + 1/2 thanks.
