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

[saadjhussain]

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

he's a fighter, expect many centuries in his long career

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

ENUF with the ALAM bashing...InshaAllah he will play a really big innings...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That ball seamed in.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So far so good for

But yaar anda toro

 

[On_the_up]

Lets see how captaincy will affect batting

I think he scored a 100 in the match he captained in Australia if I remember correctly. It was a cavalier inns though.

 

[Juggernaut]

Inshallah.

I really hope Fawad shuts up Fatso McMillan with a massive score

 

[On_the_up]

he's a fighter, expect many centuries in his long career

Insha Allah

 

[saadjhussain]

Dear God we need a few quality batsman.

When will this Pakistani talent drought end?

there's no drought, the selectors need to be replaced. qadir would have done a great job.. such a shame

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Finally we have a run in this partnership

 

[Poison]

I think he scored a 100 in the match he captained in Australia if I remember correctly. It was a cavalier inns though.

That was a superb knock, I remember him taking apart Shane Warne.

 

[asif194]

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!!!

Javed Miandad said once after few days in the camp with pak team that Fawad has to improve lot if he wants to succeed at international level...
Miandad doing nothing in cricket board ,why not spend some time with fawad or other youngsters

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think he scored a 100 in the match he captained in Australia if I remember correctly. It was a cavalier inns though.

He ripped Warne in that match specially his down the ground hitting was awesome.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

But then again, Warne was not a left arm spinner, if Kiwis want a wicket bring on Dan.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So far so good for

Nothing absolutely nothing in the pitch for the bowlers.

 

[12thMan]

Right now I will be more concerned about MoYo getting to 20+ than Fawad's wicket

 

[saadjhussain]

yusuf done a lot of hard work already, but still on 0

 

[amar1212]

scary moment

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Very risky though

 

[On_the_up]

flashy cut for 4 over the slips

 

[saadjhussain]

gets off the mark with an edge

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And knows that want a good shot

 

[Juggernaut]

there's no drought, the selectors need to be replaced. qadir would have done a great job.. such a shame

Oh really? Even idiot selector's can't keep good young players out.

Let's face facts. We're in a lean spell and it's been this way for some time.

 

[On_the_up]

CricIndia is back

 

[MajidBhuta-AamirFan]

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

can pak pakssion guys call chief selector and ask him, tell us a single reason to select this trash?

i am really upset to see again and again salman butt and farhat...

why wc can't find some tall batsmen like inzi etc.

i think short batsmen struggle a lot on bouncy pitches..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

182 more needed.

 

[Poison]

Oh really? Even idiot selector's can't keep good young players out.

Let's face facts. We're in a lean spell and it's been this way for some time.

Since when have we ever produced superstar batsmen? We produce maybe 2 every generation, we're a bowling production line.

 

[khanlala]

dont worry guys... we have Shoaib Dravid Malik coming up next...he is such a class player..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

should realise that he is running with King of run outs

 

[On_the_up]

Alam with a single
need to keep the scoreboard ticking along needless to say

 

[Afridi_Fan]

dont worry guys... we have Shoaib Dravid Malik coming up next...he is such a class player..

yes in his backyard while playing with Syali Bhaggat

 

[mindless slogging]

Yousuf ran a single.

Had me worried.

 

[On_the_up]

should realise that he is running with King of run outs

There is only one king

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Almost gone through

 

[Juggernaut]

LOL What does being tall have to do with anything?

Some of the greatest batsman ever are/were short.

 

[Ali Raja]

Need to survive till lunch, NZ testing Yousuf.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There is only one king

Budd sey Buddnaam bura

Edged short of slips

the only way we'll get the squad that deserves to play for the country is one which must be selected by a neutral. maybe get someone from england to pick our players. with the usual suspects, we'll always have a team full of favours.

oh and regarding short players on bouncy pitches, pls don't insult players like lara and miandad

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lazy running.

 

[Ali Raja]

Edge and just short!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 up

 

[khanlala]

yes in his backyard while playing with Syali Bhaggat

and you thought i was serious? didnt' you ?

i hope shoaib ka hand/elbow/foot toot jaye takay he is out of the team..other wise if he gets dropped tab yeah naraz ho jata hai and you know in pakistan, app sr player ko naraz nahi kar saktay..

i feel sorry for poor F Iqbal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lazy running.

You know who is one of the batsmen right?

Shukar kero run out nahi kerwa diya

 

[saadjhussain]

yusuf's really struggling, i think he's thinking about lunch already

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and you thought i was serious? didnt' you ?

Bhanja association, never felt sorry for them.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

playing with angled bat, not a good thing to do.

 

[Rizwan25]

Anyone missing Younis Khan?

 

[khanlala]

Salman, Imran Nazir and Imran Farhat keep coming back coz they are from Punjab..

Yasir Hameed is/was a better player than all of these 3 guys and yet is no where to be found..Asim Kamal is 10000 time better than Malik paindu yet there is no place for him..

trust me guy its a big deal if you are from Lahore or srrounding area.

 

[PB]

Anyone missing Younis Khan?

Not in his current form mate, he was a walking wicket...

As if their team is beating the crap out of every other side.

 

[On_the_up]

5 mins to lunch?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good field setting by vettori having mid off and on straighter.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Anyone missing Younis Khan?

We sure missed his catching hands.

 

[Seen Sheen]

missed out on a half volley....:yousuf

 

[Afridi_Fan]

5 mins to lunch?

I think 3 minutes.

 

[Ali Raja]

"Young Umar Akkhhmal"

 

[khanlala]

Bhanja association, never felt sorry for them.

Bhai, he has been with the team for god knows how long, he doesn't get a decent chance...guys like malik has been playing every match and yet they can't do jack..why dont we just give a guy like F Iqbal a decent chance and if he can't stop waisting our time and find someone else...whats this bs with him being with the team as test Specialist and yet he can't be in playing 11?

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

cricinfo going bad...BIG TIME...

 

[MajidBhuta-AamirFan]

We should pick the batsmen who are scoring most runs in the domestic circuit, doesn't metter if they are from multan or chhanga managa.. Imran farhat's avg is no where near to whose guys than how he can come into national team and not the highest run scorers.. it sucks

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Probably last our of the session coming up.

 

[saadjhussain]

As if their team is beating the crap out of every other side.

they have the best coaches and selectors, just don't have the talent

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Ali Raja]

Great shot

 

[On_the_up]

Good shot FA

 

[amar1212]

ohh stop saying yusuf yuhanna...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

they have the best coaches and selectors, just don't have the talent

Thats why they don't have a coach from england coaching their side?

 

[mindless slogging]

Yousuf needs to hit out as soon as possible.

We don't want yo get vettori on.

 

[Khabri420]

ohh stop saying yusuf yuhanna...

Losers are going after him now..."and then money got to him"

 

[MajidBhuta-AamirFan]

Need to survive till lunch, NZ testing Yousuf.

you shouldn't worry about yousaf he knows how to make 100...

i was worried about openers and both gone and my next worry is malik.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

At lunch

54/2

 

[saadjhussain]

"and then money got hold of him"

 

[mindless slogging]

The commentator is ripping Yousuf. Very controversial.

 

[PapaBear]

I'm just waiting for Farhat to do something stupid.

Are you happy now?

 

[amar1212]

they r bashing Yusuf for going to ICL for $$$..he only left cuz he ws upset with the PCB, malik and the selectors for not playing him without giving him a reason..that's y he left for the icl... they should know their facts befroe they talk

 

[Ali Raja]

[Fawad_Bhai]

YES! both survive...they need to make big scores...

 

[mindless slogging]

Add this one aswell : 'from rebel to captain'.

 

[Rizwan25]

I predict 275 all out!!

 

[saadjhussain]
