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

[Momo]

Best allrounder of the world in to bat! This will be fun. Spectators, beware of quickly travelling projectiles!

 

[161]

why kamran why !!!

looks like he was trying to match umer !!

 

[tauseefm]

Kamran gone. That was stupidity at best

You got it, but he made these 82 runs based on such shot selection. Thats how he plays

 

[pak4life]

very poor shot by akmal senior with the new ball around the corner

 

[Syndrome]

Now Aamer and Akmal - the two cheetay

 

[Afridi_Fan]

New All rounder walks in :aamir

 

[Usman Chadda]

You got it, but he made these 82 runs based on such shot selection. Thats how he plays

Credit due for a wonderful innings, but why on earth would you want to do that with the new ball just round the corner?

 

[adarsh_bang]

what a stupid way to get out after batting so well??? why couldn't he remain patient for like 30 minutes more ??? missed a century there and put kiwis back in the drivers seat

 

[insaaniyat]

Well played Kamran, he's played a great knock guise, give him credit.

He sure deserve a credit. Well done

 

[kingusama92]

Don't blame Kamran.

He's done his bit. Blame the guys before these two that ruined it for the team.

Hopefully Aamer and Akmal can stitch together a decent partnership.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

kami shud hav stayed til close!

 

[Seen Sheen]

No worries..both the teenagers will knock off the remaining runs

 

[amar1212]

maybe kami just wanted umer to get his 100...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

LoL love the long reach of :aamir

 

[Momo]

Aamer, give Vettori the treatment you gave him earlier.

P.S. Please don't go the Test match style route.

 

[Cover Drive]

From cricinfo

There's no doubt in my mind who the Emerging Player will be in the next ICC Awards. I'd give it to Umar Akmal immediately

 

[insaaniyat]

kami shud hav stayed til close!

Give him credit, he played well. Nothing against him.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Among all the hooh haah don't forget we are trying to save a test match and any lead over 100 will be disaster.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Umer Akmal may just be the next Javed Miandad : Crowe.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Don't blame Kamran.

He's done his bit. Blame the guys before these two that ruined it for the team.

Hopefully Aamer and Akmal can stitch together a decent partnership.

Exactly - he along with Umar helped us avoid the follow and he deserves applause for that

Granted it wasnt the wisest of shots BUT im certainly not going to waste time having a go at him - especially when there are more worthy candidates in the side

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Man this guy is some talent

 

[sohaibsyed]

4 again

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Umar Akmal on fire!!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Time for some more entertainment guys..3

 

[sohaibsyed]

4 more

 

[Cover Drive]

Akmal should start firing before new ball comes in

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

3 fours off the over...it is too easy for Umar now

 

[kingusama92]

Iain O'brien will have nightmares now whenever he bowls to this lad.

Amazing shots.

 

[Cover Drive]

Time for some more entertainment guys..3

and stream has stopped working

 

[Afridi_Fan]

There's no doubt in my mind who the Emerging Player will be in the next ICC Awards. I'd give it to Umar Akmal immediately

And Cricinfo is saying this

 

[Poison]

If we get the lead to under 100 we'll do ok

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

haha - Umar Akmal dishing out some punishment

 

[SpiritOf1903]

now this is a joke

 

[Ali Raja]

Will they play till 19.00 or longer?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Crowe crow hee hai issed:
why would he use a word like 'worse' to describe a team..

 

[sohaibsyed]

dropped

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Will they play till 19.00 or longer?

They have to bowl 13 overs.

 

[amar1212]

ohhhhhhhhhh

 

[Cover Drive]

Aamer goes for big but all safe

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Never doubt U Akmal. Magnificent innings.

If we could somehow get to 400 we can still win this if we bowl and field great in the second innings. Asking for a lot but it is possible.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir Cheetah gets off the mark.

 

[pak4life]

martin your a legend!

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Dropped?

 

[kingusama92]

And Cricinfo is saying this

He has the ability to get that award. Although he will have to really turn it up for the rest of the series and then in Australia as well.

 

[sohaibsyed]

:aamir Cheetah gets off the mark.

in style

 

[ali_ed2006]

Aamir what are you doing..!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Chris curtely martin making a mess of it.

 

[Cover Drive]

I hope Umar Akmal remains unbeaten throughout this innings

 

[161]

Chris Marten pulling an Umer Gul.

On a side note .. did Aamer not learn from the way Kamran got out ?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

nicely done Aamir. should have brought nightwatchman in - iblock

 

[PapaBear]

Hats off to Umar Akmal. he is pure cheeta player, not even scared of getting out... thats how every single player should play

Please don't call him cheeta, it brings Malik's picture in my mind, lets call him Sher Ka Bachcha, while I write this NZ have a Imran Farhat type fielding, drops Aamer.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir doesn't rate Vettori as a bowler.

) ) ) )

That was so disrespectful.

 

[Cover Drive]

2 overs away from second new ball

 

[sohaibsyed]

haha lol^

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Well those of us backing kami have been proven right.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Dropped?

:aamir dropped off vettori,tried to go for the big shot but miscued it.

 

[amar1212]

how long till its stumps-day3?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

no stupidity please, we've still got a massive deficit!!

 

[Momo]

So not only does Chris Martin not know how to bat, he doesn't have any idea how to catch either.

 

[coy0607]

aamer really has the potential to be a genuine batsmen......he has a very good batting stance and a decent technique, better than some of top order batsmen

 

[tauseefm]

Please don't call him cheeta, it brings Malik's picture in my mind, lets call him Sher Ka Bachcha, while I write this NZ have a Imran Farhat type fielding, drops Aamer.

Malik and cheeta, are u kidding me? lol he looks more like a fox to me

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir has scored as many as did.

Who is the better one?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

jr has full trust in :aamir, rotating the strike.

 

[amar1212]

So not only does Chris Martin not know how to bat, he doesn't have any idea how to catch either.

same with Imran Farhat

 

[Momo]

:aamir has scored as many as did.

Who is the better one?

:aamir >>>>>>>>> + + + +

 

[Momo]

same with Imran Farhat

At least Chris Martin can bowl.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir >>>>>>>>> + + + +

Understood Sir.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

So not only does Chris Martin not know how to bat, he doesn't have any idea how to catch either.

not bad with a guitar tho, he should bat with it

 

[Afridi_Fan]

At least Chris Martin can bowl.

[haroonrasheed320]

Aamer has to believe in his batting & not try that thing again, that's for tailenders

 

[Seen Sheen]

:aamir doesn't rate Vettori as a bowler.

) ) ) )

That was so disrespectful.

) )

 

[Momo]

not bad with a guitar tho, he should bat with it

Another skill Martin has that Imran Farhat hasn't.

 

[iZeeshan]

If the tailenders and Umar can stitch together 100 runs, this test match may still have something, though most likely a draw.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another skill Martin has that Imran Farhat hasn't.

Momo You Legend.

)

 

[SpiritOf1903]

the vet's got decent figures tho

 

[Momo]

I have a declaration to make: I haven't seen any batsman with more time than Aamer. :aamir

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Trail by 152

new ball is due.

 

[Seen Sheen]

So not only does Chris Martin not know how to bat, he doesn't have any idea how to catch either.

Cricinfo's title of bulletin reads
'Chris Martin scores a 26th duck'

 

[Cover Drive]

New ball taken

 

[IAJ]

Here is what the commentator on cricinfo wrote some moments ago about the Lahore dynamite:

"There's no doubt in my mind who the Emerging Player will be in the next ICC Awards. I'd give it to Umar Akmal immediately"
