Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test - Day 4 | Dunedin | 27/11/09

[legslip]

match will defitnely be a draw unless we dismiss them within half an hour tomorrow. bond will pin us down on this type of pitch.

Whose to say we dont collapse tommorow in two sessions on a day 5 wicket with Bond and Vettori bowling in tandem and lose the game. It happened in Sri Lanka twice, it can happen again.

 

[legslip]

Why blame him? Blame the selectors for selecting him and captain for playing him. He is having a bad game. But no need to abuse him. No one deserves that

well said...oh the irony with some folk!

 

[slix10]

Raining/light, match still hasn't started. Showing highlights.

Is this Farhat we're talking about?

Well I'm sure he won't mind giving his place in the squad to someone else the poor lad.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

the rain has stopped...guys how is the light looking?

 

[UP]

I hope we get 3 wickets ASAP so we can chase the total down tomorrow.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No we have dropped a total of 6 catches so far!

4 from Farhat, 1 from U Akmal, and 1 from Gul

How about the past 10 years they have been number one for a long period & after the retirements in 2009 they have dropped a little, OZs are still rediscovering themselves It won't be too late they are back on top

[Seen Sheen]

What a match would it be for Asif if he can pick up remaining two wkts..a ten wkt haul..

 

[Genghis]

Asif gets his 4th and 8th for the match ... Top bowling on his comeback!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Out side edge

 

[siccric]

Ugh, lucky four D:

every run matters now.

 

[Poison]

Asif has a unique way of setting up batsmen.

 

[Poison]

Asif's action has changed slightly at times throughout the innings.

 

[Genghis]

This spell Asif has bowled 8.5-3-20-4

 

[siccric]

Light is being incredibly frustrating

 

[Poison]

Thats it for the day folks, relatively good 10 minute session for Pakistan

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We just came for a wicket and we got that.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

244/8

 

[saqeeb90]

This spell Asif has bowled 8.5-3-20-4

[Poison]

Only one real wicket left to get here folks, Martin is an absolute bunny.

[Poison]

Great day for Pakistan all round, great game unfolding here.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now we need 2 more wickets, anything under 260 in 90 overs is chaseable, provided we don't collapse.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Had it been 9 down today,I wouldhv been more relaxed..coz with Chris Martin at the crease,its effectively all over for kiwis..

 

[hur rizvi]

Now we need 2 more wickets, anything under 260 in 90 overs is chaseable, provided we don't collapse.

We have got 98 overs tomorrow weather permitting hope we get them out in 2 or three overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Should probably get them in less than 30 mins tomorrow.

Hopefully those 30 mins will come as a result of play being started 30 minutes earlier.

Should keep it under 255-260 and we will win.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We have got 98 overs tomorrow weather permitting hope we get them out in 2 or three overs

Giving 10 overs to the weather thing. There is chance of rain even tomorrow.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Great day for us - Aamer and Asif were superb, whilst the Akmals gave us a chance of avoiding a loss these guys have given us a chance of winning

Inshallah we can knock the remaining 2 wickets off early and hopefully we have under 260 to chase

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And still they haven't called it end of play officially.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That is the forecast of Dunedin for tomorrow.

That is freeeeeeeeeeeeeezing. And its nearly summer!

 

[Syndrome]

Pretty cold tomorrow. Atleast no rain

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Farhat will try to get back ASAP, he can't tolerate weather. He should be excused for that :Muhammad Ilyas.

 

[Ali Raja]

No more play? Cricinfo isn't updating.

 

[PakZameen]

Damn temp around 5-10 is freezing? come over to Canada than we'll talk freezing, mind you we've gottem great winter so far, its been around 1-10 degree Celsius so far but that can change any day to -20s.

Yaar in Sydney it NEVER gets below 10 degrees, its always minimum 12-13 degrees, and during the day it never gets below 20, even in the middle of winter. Its two days away from Summer in NZ and its that cold?!

 

[Ali Raja]

In Norway we live with polar bears

 

[Ali Raja]

Any update? Is it safe to sleep now? Don't want to miss anything.
