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

[insaaniyat]

I really miss Younis's Khan's batting.

really? are you talking about last 20 innings or prior to that

 

[Afridi_Fan]

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

I am in too.

 

[amar1212]

130 more runs or follow on..

 

[saeed-sohail]

I have been saying for ages malik is not a batsman but come second innings I fully expect him to come up with fighting 50 in a losing cause (I hope not).

 

[Poison]

We'll do ok guisee, its the 1st Test Down Under, we were expected to struggle

 

[Lahoria]

Younis is a little cry baby who can't handle the pressure that comes with being a captain.

 

[Cheguvera]

Upside is we'll get to see Pakistan's batting twice and back to back without having to wait through and get tortured by NZ's second innings and yet another pathetic bowling and fielding performance...

 

[mindless slogging]

Credit where it's due.

YK made a greater fist of things with a worse side in Sri Lanka (who incidentally thrashed N.Z.). We are being made to look amateur.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Omar will do good. And Kamran will play Karachi inning

you want the Karachi inning or the Mohali one?

 

[amar1212]

I really miss Younis's Khan's batting.

oh really, what do u miss so much about his batting? be specific please.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I like this.

Umer not beiong bogged down.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

really? are you talking about last 20 innings or prior to that

I was really talking about his experience in these conditions.(if he has any)

 

[saadjhussain]

not too long ago, younis khan hit a triple century.......

 

[Seen Sheen]

[12thMan]

Bond having a drink = Wicket coming very soon.

was it red in color something like Rooh Afza?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

oh really, what do u miss so much about his batting? be specific please.

Running out his partner skills?

 

[insaaniyat]

you want the Karachi inning or the Mohali one?

Karichi, when we beat India from 39 for six in the first inning

 

[khanlala]

nt sure if pakistan will learn anything from this ...

malik and farhat will still make it for the 2nd test

 

[PB]

What makes you guys think, that Younis would have saved us?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Didn't mean you afridfan. I get your position to an extent. It's the kids who don't know about leadership and just think YK had nothing to do with us winning the WC.

 

[Inswinger]

How many more do we need to avoid the follow on?

 

[amar1212]

not too long ago, younis khan hit a triple century.......

yea on a crappy pakistani pitch.

 

[amar1212]

How many more do we need to avoid the follow on?

130

 

[insaaniyat]

not too long ago, younis khan hit a triple century.......

I can vaguely remember

 

[saadjhussain]

nt sure if pakistan will learn anything from this ...

malik and farhat will still make it for the 2nd test

they never learn, that's the problem.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

How many more do we need to avoid the follow on?

130.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

oh really, what do u miss so much about his batting? be specific please.

One thing I missed was his experience and another was because he has a good tempermant.

 

[ali_ed2006]

126 more

 

[mindless slogging]

What makes you guys think, that Younis would have saved us?

He would have made it a little closer as atleast we would have done something in the field. And he averages 50 in test cricket. This was where he could have regained form.

 

[insaaniyat]

the brothers are doing good

 

[saadjhussain]

yea on a crappy pakistani pitch.

yeah i remember seeing yousuf hit a triple century on the same pitch too

 

[Inswinger]

Akmal brothers not respecting Dan so much.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

126 needed.

 

[insaaniyat]

He would have made it a little closer as atleast we would have done something in the field. And he averages 50 in test cricket. This was where he could have regained form.

YK is a quitter

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Yousuf has never hit a triple century.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

couple.

124 needed.

 

[pakistani]

cricinfo
Masrur: "I think Pakistan has had enough of Shoaib Malik's antics. Faisal Iqbal should be in, in the next test."

 

[PB]

He would have made it a little closer as atleast we would have done something in the field. And he averages 50 in test cricket. This was where he could have regained form.

No he wouldn't have made it closer, he already would have been out, mate, have you seen what kind of form that guy was in? so what if he averages 50, look at what he averages this year, that guy would hav gone into a lot of pressure, and would have knicked it.. theres a reason why he's not here.

 

[mindless slogging]

YK is a quitter

Maybe he's lost hope.

 

[insaaniyat]

Yousuf has never hit a triple century.

neither has Tendu. the best batsman in the world. What is your point

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Its 106/5

 

[saadjhussain]

Yousuf has never hit a triple century.

sarcasm...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I wasn't replying to you. I was replying to someone else.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Maybe he's lost hope.

Then no need to come back. We don't need ones who have lost hope.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Akmal brothers not respecting Dan so much.

why should they!! :umarakmal :akmal

 

[insaaniyat]

Maybe he's lost hope.

Fighter never lose hope

 

[amar1212]

yeah i remember seeing yousuf hit a triple century on the same pitch too

Yusuf has 26 test centuries..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I wasn't replying to you. I was replying to someone else.

What a logic.

 

[mindless slogging]

No he wouldn't have made it closer, he already would have been out, mate, have you seen what kind of form that guy was in? so what if he averages 50, look at what he averages this year, that guy would hav gone into a lot of pressure, and would have knicked it.. theres a reason why he's not here.

So you're happy at Yousuf's captaincy and all those edges through 3rd slips?

Admit it YK is a really good captain. And I think this was the series to get test runs. Btw, he has a triple century this year, so yes his test record this year aswell.

 

[saeed-sohail]

really? are you talking about last 20 innings or prior to that

Com,n man guy has scored a triple hundred 4 tests ago and for your info 11 hundreds in his last 30 odd tests with scores of 313,267*,199,194,176,149,135 to mention a few.Averages 70+ in NZ 50+. In Eng and 43 in Aus. So I would suggest you show the guy bit of respect.

 

[12thMan]

Pitches in Australia will be similar as this is not doing much. Ignore the missed catches by Pakistan. Australia will have 2-3 145 kph bowlers and coulpe of them can move the ball too.

Match is not over yet so it is not time to give up but we will have this for next 5 tests probably

 

[saadjhussain]

Yusuf has 26 test centuries..

and he's conceded 27 test centuries thanks to his fielding

Its give and take.

The guy should also give respect for being the capotain and dont act like a drama queen.

 

[Seen Sheen]

chaar to :akmal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nelson on the board

111/5

 

[Inswinger]

and he's conceded 27 test centuries thanks to his fielding

I'd take MoYo in my team any given day.

I'm not talking about captaincy yaar, yeah Yousuf isn't a very good captain, and YK is.

Yeah I admit he is, but i'm talking about his form, that was on a very flat track, c'mon even Faisal Iqbal scored on that pitch, that was in January, this is November.

Listen YK is the best test batsman we have together with Yousef. I have not doubt about. We miss him as a player.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

119 needed.

 

[saadjhussain]

ahead of younis khan?

 

[insaaniyat]

Four

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yusuf has 24 test centuries..

fixed

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

ahead of younis khan?

Yes, I would.

 

[Seen Sheen]

to U akmal...

 

[Inswinger]

Why is Umar making it all look so easy?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Boundaries starting to flow.

 

[mindless slogging]

You can't disregard a triple century that easily. He is the best option at number 3. Don't believe me, think of another that should take his place.

 

[insaaniyat]

ahead of younis khan?

No, both. However if I have to pick only one, it has to be Yousef

 

[saadjhussain]

Yes, I would.

i guess i'm the only person that thinks younis khan is more valuable to the TEAM

 

[insaaniyat]

Another good shot

 

[*syed59*]

that was the best shot of the whole match so far. imo

 

[Inswinger]

Edged but Umar played with soft hands.

Add more!


Umar makes it look easy!!

 

[mindless slogging]

Why is Umar making it all look so easy?

Dropped once, egded many times. Vettori made it look easy.

 

[Seen Sheen]

more..that was a classic on drive..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Umer Akmal doing the right thing.

 

[PB]

You can't disregard a triple century that easily. He is the best option at number 3. Don't believe me, think of another that should take his place.

Yea sure,
yeah he is the best option when hes actually scoring...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four more to Umar. He has now scored the highest in this pakistani innings.

 

[saadjhussain]

No, both. However if I have to pick only one, it has to be Yousef

if only we had him today, replace him with malik and our team looks decent.

 

[12thMan]

I really miss Younis's Khan's batting

Well ask him why he pulled out. Nothing to miss if a player doesn't want to play

This is a good experience. Only issue I see here are dropped catches and that is the difference
