Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test - Day 3 | Dunedin | 26/11/09

[McBoom]

Painful kathak dance over from Cheetah. Looked like a walking wicket right from the beginning.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That's a shocker.....playing close to the body?????

 

[SpiritOf1903]

do we laugh or cry. oh God.

 

[insaaniyat]

I told you he wouldn't last. Let's us hope Afridi make himself avaiable for OZ Tour

 

[Lahoria]

I hear Misbah is on his way to NZ I want him to get exposed as well so we can get rid of these ftbs for good. Playing all this cricket away from Pakistan will atleast show the reality of all our batsmen.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bond is bowling

 

[khanlala]

Malik is so paindu...

i hope he is dropped forever

 

[mindless slogging]

What is this batting?

COLLAPSE TIME BOYS!!!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

malik smiling after getting out...why not...he is on vacation in a beautiful country....muskarao aur muskarao

 

[Afridi_Fan]

do we laugh or cry. oh God.

Ask me?

I am laughing big times.

X 2

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Let the brothers unleash.

 

[Kriketer]

collapse sollapse...........tell me something new.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just 145 more to get.

 

[Cricoholic]

"It's not even a contest at the moment" - says it all

 

[saeed-sohail]

Only a counter attacking partnership from akmals can save us from here.........

 

[Khabri420]

Cricinfo going nuts. Don't know what match they are watching

 

[Afridi_Fan]

malik smiling after getting out...why not...he is on vacation in a beautiful country....muskarao aur muskarao

[insaaniyat]

Let the brothers unleash.

Hopefully they play sensibly

 

[saadjhussain]

the brothers will set a partnership world record

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Commentators are overjoyed.
More like that u akmal.

 

[Cricoholic]

Just 145 more to get.

Even 45 looks miles away!

 

[pakistani]

young umer doing what he does best

 

[insaaniyat]

great shot

 

[Seen Sheen]

boy thats courageous............

 

[mindless slogging]

I say Umar Akmal just go for it.

We won't get anything here. The N.Z.(DAMN) commentators are cussing our batsmen!!!

Just play freely and we may get close to the follow-on.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Words of wisdom from Big Bro.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Thats Right Umer

 

[Kriketer]

I have got so used to it that it doesn't even hurt anymore!!!!!

Allah mia barish day
Allah mia barish day!

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

chalo koie naheen koie naheen...amir ajmal will save the day ( REMEMBER??)

 

[12thMan]

On a serious note I am enjoying a fine spell of fast bowling from a fine fine bowler.

For last few overs that is all I am watching. Bond bowling and when the other one comes on I do other things. Though a little more of MoYo and Bond would have been great

 

[Cricoholic]

Its Akmals vs NZ now

 

[Afridi_Fan]

139 needed.

 

[saadjhussain]

umar akmal for captaan!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

92/5

 

[pakistani]

umer survives

 

[insaaniyat]

survived

 

[amar1212]

luccckkkkkyyyyyy

 

[mindless slogging]

Everyone remember. Even when the batting lets us down, there is still hope near the end. :aamir

 

[USaqaf]

NZ commentators "Malik got his feet moving finally, all the way to the pavilion"

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lucky Lucky Lucky

How do you spell lucky?

 

[saeed-sohail]

Ask me?

I am laughing big times.

) ) ) )

On a serious note when majority of senior posters here said that we need to back YK as these mediocre players are not worth the hassle you use to defend this talentless brigade.

 

[12thMan]

survived. a short ball to Umar Akmal who apprently tried to avoid it but got trapped and ball flies and land between him and slip fielder

 

[insaaniyat]

umar akmal for captaan!!!

I second it, if Afridi doesn't get it

 

[pakistani]

edge and i think dropped and FOUR

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is why test cricket is great.....top notch bowling and fielding and now counterattacking by u akmal.

 

[saadjhussain]

i hope farhat understands how much those dropped catches cost us

 

[Seen Sheen]

a streaky four to akmal

96/5

 

[Saqib]

This realy shows that Pakistan badly need in a bating coach.

We have to realy work on our game especialy batting!!

 

[amar1212]

survived again

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Umer dealing in boundaries.

 

[insaaniyat]

i hope farhat understands how much those dropped catches cost us

He will be back in the second test with Butt

 

[*syed59*]

winds really picked up..from right to left on screen.

Good shot UA..!!!

 

[insaaniyat]

Beautiful shot

 

[pakistani]

umer showing Bond four runs

 

[Seen Sheen]

4 more,Counter attacking cricket from U Akmal...........I like it :umarakmal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 up

 

[Cricoholic]

Its the Umar Akmal Show...

Question is what time does it finish?

 

[the_game]

Good on Umer. You will never see this from the likes of Malik, that's for sure.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We need to clone u akmal.

 

[Amir]

Somehow our board backed Shoaib Malik over Younus.....sigh, pathetic. Not a test batsmen.

 

[zaid65]

Difference between the Pakistan ICL players and NZ ICL players are obvious.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

130 needed.

 

[Random Aussie]

Akmal dropped at gully off Bond.

 

[amar1212]

umer is doing wat Mr "overratednoutofform" malik could not do

 

[saadjhussain]

He will be back in the second test with Butt

oh well, average players will continue to average 50 on flat tracks back in pakistan. when they come on a slightly bouncy pitch, they get hammered. thank god there isn't any swing or it would have been a lot worse.

time for green bouncy tracks at home, it's the only way we'll improve. and inti should be sacked, he's done nothing useful

 

[insaaniyat]

130 needed.

Don't worry we will save follon on and the test

 

[ucilite]

Farhat has to GO even if he scores a double century in the 2nd inning. Also should be replaced by .

also, its beyond me that y in the world did not bowl and fawad to try something different in the first inning?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Drinks on the field. Hope Bond gets a breather now.

 

[insaaniyat]

My question is, how come Malik never get dropped. Last time he was dropped, our captain quit. This guy must be doing some **** jadoo

 

[ali_ed2006]

Don't worry we will save follon on and the test

that's very brave of you to say.

This is the last recognized batting pair. I don't see them lasting that long..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

YK haters gone into hiding I guess?

If malik was undermining yk then the PCB should have kicked him out. They didn't therefore compromising our whole future.

 

[Cricoholic]

Bond having a drink = Wicket coming very soon.

 

[Inswinger]

Don't worry we will save follon on and the test

Call me an optimistic fool but I think we'll save it.

 

[Poison]

Malik is such a crappy batsman. That was the worst shot of the day, Manzoor looked better.

 

[insaaniyat]

that's very brave of you to say.

This is the last recognized batting pair. I don't see them lasting that long..

Omar will do good. And Kamran will play Karachi inning

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I really miss Younis's Khan's batting.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

YK haters gone into hiding I guess?

If malik was undermining yk then the PCB should have kicked him out. They didn't therefore compromising our whole future.

I am his hater because of his iQuit thing, and I aint hiding or quiting at all.

 

[Lahoria]

Since I can't think of a decent opener lets just recall Mohammed Wasim he wasn't the most talented but had a very good technique.
