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

[Deewana Mastana]

What a poor shot from Manzoor.

Technique hasn't changed at all so all that stuff about improving technique was BS.

Two poor shots in the first four overs so that stuff about 'I'm looking to play a long innings'' is BS.

This guy will captain Pakistan one day. Yeah right.

Please feel free to tell me if I'm over reacting.

I dont see much wrong in what you've said up there as such!

thanks

 

[Random Aussie]

Pathetic of CricIndia to fail while 2 Test matches are in progress.

 

[amar1212]

BAN HIM

its called a joke

 

[Zaz]

commentators criticising fawads mis timed pull - no balnce they said

Then he pulls for 4 and shuts them up

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Another four from fawad alam!!

 

[mindless slogging]

The top 3 are getting wripped apart technically by the N.Z. commentators.

 

[saadjhussain]

outt.

issed: issed: issed: issed: issed:

 

[12thMan]

Who is out? please don't post garbage scores or wickets

 

[Poison]

The top 3 are getting wripped apart technically by the N.Z. commentators.

So long as they don't get out, no problem.

 

[legslip]

Mcmillan is a bit thick isnt he?

 

[pak4life]

Fawad is probably not the greatest player to watch as long as he scores runs I dont care how he bats.

 

[azfar wali]

its called a joke

Jokes are supposed to be funny

 

[Syndrome]

Holy crap, who the heck do these NZ commentators think they are? One of them said "Fawad's averaging 50", and the other guy says "He's probably played Bangladesh". Jahil sala.

Its actually Craig Mcmillan talking this garbage. High comments from an ordinary player.

 

[Juggernaut]

Mcmillan criticising Fawad every fart, sneeze and cough.

Give the lad a chance. He may not be technically perfect but atleast he seems to have better discipline then bloody Manzoor.

 

[saadjhussain]

they're really having a go at fawad's technique and that his average is only in the 50's because he played bangladesh. they later noted that it was in fact sri lanka, seriously mcmillan should be asked to leave. this is our home series so we should have our commentators.

 

[Random Aussie]

its called a joke

It's not funny mate, people follow the thread on here - some can't see the game, some can't see updates, don't post that people are out when they are not.

 

[mindless slogging]

Fawad one run away from his worst number, 16. He's been out 3/4 times on this number I think.

 

[Cover Drive]

Imran Farhat seems to be in good touch. I mean he is middling the ball even though it is not going all the way to the boundary

 

[Juggernaut]

With all the Fawad bashing from Fatso McMillan I'd forgotten Damad is still out there.

 

[On_the_up]

Both batsmen have got a start.

 

[saadjhussain]

With all the Fawad bashing from Fatso McMillan I'd forgotten Damad is still out there.

 

[mindless slogging]

Farhat beaten outside the offstump by O'Brian.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Holy crap, who the heck do these NZ commentators think they are? One of them said "Fawad's averaging 50", and the other guy says "He's probably played Bangladesh". Jahil sala.

exactly...what is wrong with him issed: issed:

bring pakistani commentators on now...

 

[caesar]

fawad alam's batting a bit like chanderpaul....the way he starts wide and suffles across when the bowl is delivered......not pretty though

now the commentator said it too....he's modelled himself on chanderpaul.....not a great choice IMO!!!

 

[D]

Hate these commentators!

Khud ko khelne ata nahi, doosron ko bol rahe hain..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

its called a joke

It can give heart attack to some of the PPers issed:

 

[mindless slogging]

I don't think he's modelled himself on Chanderpaul. I think he must have been batting like this since his school days.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Review Time.

 

[legslip]

Mcmillan responding to a comment from fellow commentator Richardson about Fawad's good start to his career - ''He probably played all his matches against Bangladesh''

He seems to be on Fawad's case for no apparant reason and its getting annoying.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Farhat asking for Review, Rudi will give out.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

crapinfo still not working...since ESPN has taken over, their service has been really bad.

 

[On_the_up]

Billy D gives Farhat out LBW
calls for a review

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And that looks out.

One review goes into bin.

 

[Wiji]

Mark Richardson is doing a good job in the commentary box against McMillan. McMillan is trashing Fawad's technique of shuffling at the crease. He even thought that he got his hundred against Bangladesh (when in fact it was against Sri Lanka). Richardson's telling him to give the kid a chance, and he compared his technique to Chanderpaul...one of the great Test batsmen.

 

[Zaz]

wot a waste of a review by farhat

 

[On_the_up]

looks out

 

[Juggernaut]

I have huge respect for Martin Crowe. Don't mess up it up.

Damad Gone? It's gone to review.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Rudi rules.

 

[mindless slogging]

Farhat asking for Review, Rudi will give out.

) ) He's wasting a review.

 

[On_the_up]

out it is

 

[saadjhussain]

farhat drops 3 catches, get out LBW and wastes a review too, what a great match he's had. failure...

 

[Syndrome]

Farhat just wasted a review. Add two dropped catches to that. Match winning performance!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

43/2

Imran goes for -112

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Farhat selfish call....

Good ball that though.

 

[On_the_up]

Farhat gone for 22.

 

[amar1212]

yusuf should be next

 

[Syndrome]

Here comes iCL

 

[Afridi_Fan]

farhat drops 3 catches, get out LBW and wastes a review too, what a great match he's had. failure...

MoM?

Anyone?

For Kiwis ofcourse.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Farhat selfish call....

Good ball that though.

What was good about that ball?

 

[Juggernaut]

Damad drops us two catches in the slip allowing the Kiwi's to rack up 400 runs. And then he take's a shamelessly selfish review.

What an ******** !

 

[mindless slogging]

LOL if Pakistan don't get atleast 350 on this wicket, it's curtains for the series.

 

[caesar]

I don't think he's modelled himself on Chanderpaul. I think he must have been batting like this since his school days.

i remember him having a different(and easy on the eyes) stance in his earlier games like the T20 vs sri lanka in toronto ......he definitely needs a good batting coach to sort this 'techinical defficiency' out ....i'm afraid with him jumping around the crease like that, brett lee and co will have him for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!

 

[Random Aussie]

farhat drops 3 catches, get out LBW and wastes a review too, what a great match he's had. failure...

Great talent ) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok folks what are the odds that we will have a run out as the ultimate end to this partnership

 

[saadjhussain]

MoM?

Anyone?

For Kiwis ofcourse.

probably the worst performance by a pakistani player in a match, yes, that includes mohammad sami too

 

[Zaz]

What was good about that ball?

it was straight, nowt special

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

waste of review by iDAMAAD

 

[On_the_up]

played away from his body, down to gully, risky shot by MY

 

[coy0607]

Farhat just wasted a review. Add two dropped catches to that. Match winning performance!

3 catches........this man is complete failure, just the fact that he needs his father in law to get into a team shows that

 

[Afridi_Fan]

it was straight, nowt special

Thats what I think, he missed a straight one.

 

[pak4life]

Soo its the same old story at the top one failure replaced by another

 

[saadjhussain]

yusuf desperately needs to score a century in this innings. but i doubt he'll do it. not one who likes pressure.

 

[mindless slogging]

Looked the same to me. I saw him in 2007 and he looked very similar. He does, however have good judgement and knows his limits.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Panic button being hit, play and miss by Fawad

 

[coy0607]

wow......these guys just cant wait to send alam back

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Butt in for farhat next match please.

 

[Juggernaut]

At the moment I'm swearing at Farhat in Punjabi. That's a measure of how bad he was cos I never swear in Punjabi.

 

[saadjhussain]

fawad playing some dangerous shots

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

We need a big partnership here....GO Fawad and MOYO

 

[legslip]

crucial partnership now if we are to save this test, with our best players out there.

 

[Juggernaut]

Martin Crowe 'It sounded like a sound' *chuckle* Waqar is rubbing off on him.

 

[On_the_up]

OUT, it sounded like a sound
Kiwi commentators, LOL

Not out by the way.

Fawad Alam really needs to fight for his life here, and he has the temperament for it.

 

[mindless slogging]

At the moment I'm swearing at Farhat in Punjabi. That's a measure of how bad he was cos I never swear in Punjabi.

It would be a measure if you didn't know punjabi, and learnt it for this very occasion.

 

[coy0607]

this match is completely on yousufs shoulders now..........if he gets out quick, i dont see pakistan avoiding the follow on

 

[saadjhussain]

Butt in for farhat next match please.

what a replacement ) )

seriously it hurts seeing our team in such bad shape. yusuf as captain speaks for itself with akmal as vice captain

 

[On_the_up]

All this Alam bashing, wouldn't it be ironic if he did end up with a century.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lets see how captaincy will affect batting

 

[On_the_up]

Cricbuzz has FA on 18, while the TV has him on 15

 

[Juggernaut]

Dear God we need a few quality batsman.

When will this Pakistani talent drought end?
