[KA$H]

well done new zealand

well done Pakistan

cracking game

damn i'm not gonna be able to sleep now

 

[UP]

Hail Imran ****** Farhat.

 

[Poison]

GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT GAME

 

[KA$H]

both teams fought really well

no shame in this loss

 

[Lightning]

Well played NZ! Especially my man, Bondy.

 

[UP]

Well played Akmal brothers.

Without your fighting spirit we wouldn't have been even this close.

 

[Poison]

both teams fought really well

no shame in this loss

At 85/5 chasing 429 in the first innings, I think its pretty remarkable we only lost by 32. Good showing by Pakistan, BUT GODDAMN DROP THAT RETARD FARHAT.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Imran Farhat should be NZ man of the match and his safarish the man of series

 

[Big Mac]

Fantastic, I can finally get some sleep. Will see you all tomorrow afternoon, looking forward to waking up to see dozens of clownshoes topics blaming everything under the sun and demanding half the team be replaced.

Good night all.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hats off too Aamer, Akmals, and Asif.

 

[Muzy]

now we can sleep darn... well played boys just need to be taught how to get over the last hurdle Well done to Aamer and Asif, Gul and a big well done to Umar Akmal on his debut match future star in the making God bless you and Aamer and idone lol night night all

 

[OZGOD]

And that's all she wrote. That's a pretty bad collapse at the death, from 5-195 to all out for 218. Last five wickets fell for 23 runs.

 

[hashmist]

Can't believe we'll lose this thing after coming so close.

Who wants to bet Farhat will still be picked for 2nd test? If there's any justice in this world, his career should be over after this match.

 

[Poison]

If we (Farhat) had taken our catches, we would've won quite comfortably. I feel sorry for Umar, he must feel pretty broken right now.

 

[PapaBear]

I have to take up another hobby instead of following Pakistan cricket until they are downunder

 

[Juggernaut]

Considering our fragile batting line up I think we played pretty well.

Ofcourse if we're gonna blame anyone let's blame Farhat.

Feel sorry for Umar Akmal though.

 

[Lightning]

It's all funny making fun of Farhat but shouldn't get personal. It's not his fault that the selectors keep playing him. He's doing the best he can. He's just not good enough.

 

[Khurram]

Pakistan lost thx to Imran Farhat ( big parchi )4 great catchs and some good looking shots. Also thx to players like Malik too.

If we had taken catch first day nz could not score more than 250 ? Same in 2nd innings.

I dont have any hope since next match Salaam butt saab will play instead of Farhat. sux

 

[shaaan]

Well played Akmal brothers.

Without your fighting spirit we wouldn't have been even this close.

Well said...Akmal brothers and our bowlers kept us in the game.

 

[Oxy]

Fantastic, I can finally get some sleep. Will see you all tomorrow afternoon, looking forward to waking up to see dozens of clownshoes topics blaming everything under the sun and demanding half the team be replaced.

Good night all.

Another Mod will have to clear that up...I'm dead.

Imran Farhat - Zindadbad (shout the Kiwi fans)

 

[slix10]

) @ iDroppedit posts.

NZ must be thanking Farhat.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Can't believe we'll lose this thing after coming so close.

Who wants to bet Farhat will still be picked for 2nd test? If there's any justice in this world, his career should be over after this match.

No, he wouldn't be, but it wouldn't be surprising if he is there again in the next series or afterwards.

 

[Juggernaut]

It's all funny making fun of Farhat but shouldn't get personal. It's not his fault that the selectors keep playing him. He's doing the best he can. He's just not good enough.

He's father in law is on the selection panel. If he really cared so much about Pakistan cricket then he'd say don't select me I'm not good enough

 

[tdigi]

If that one LBW was not given...Pak would have won..but such is the game of cricket. The youngsters showing their mettle again.

 

[shaaan]

And that's all she wrote. That's a pretty bad collapse at the death, from 5-195 to all out for 218. Last five wickets fell for 23 runs.

remind me of srilanka test....where we collapsed like that in the first two test...

 

[KA$H]

And that's all she wrote. That's a pretty bad collapse at the death, from 5-195 to all out for 218. Last five wickets fell for 23 runs.

an unfourtunately extremely common occurance

but the boys fought hard in this game

that was a tough pitch, and consistent bowling

 

[Khurram]

one players dropp 4 catch in one match and his batting is **** thans its his fault when he and his father in law do every ting to bring him in squad. First of all *** he has done to deserve his place ?

Why Khurram Manzoor when Khalid latif is much better player ? Also AHmed Shezad is better than him.

Imran Farhat lost match singel handed . thx to his father in law who did every ting to get him in team.

 

[eViLrAcEr]

Considering our fragile batting line up I think we played pretty well.

Ofcourse if we're gonna blame anyone let's blame Farhat.

Feel sorry for Umar Akmal though.

yeah, it was a match winning performance...just short of leading the team to victory
he must be feeling really helpless
hopefully, this will make him try to perform even better in the next test

imagine his 1st double century in his 2nd test...that would be legendary

 

[sali]

How could we loose from 195/5? At the end it was NZ's first inning total and Imran's drop catches that got NZ across.

 

[PB]

remind me of srilanka test....where we collapsed like that in the first two test...

Akmal and Akmal were the only 2 recognized batsmen, the rest were tail-enders, so the tail-enders getting out, I wouldn't really call it a collapse...

 

[Khurram]

Our bowlers did VERY well.

Kamran brothers played very well also M.Y played well but was unlucky today. I was sure Pakistan will even make 200 runs today.

 

[Dare2Dream]

If that one LBW was not given...Pak would have won..but such is the game of cricket. The youngsters showing their mettle again.

With the referral system in place, can't blame those decisions too much, but Rudi/Doctrove definitely suck together, only one should umpire in one game so you don't have two clowns

 

[USaqaf]

How could we loose from 195/5? At the end it was NZ's first inning total and Imran's drop catches that got NZ across.

And NZs first innings total was possible by an incredible rear guard by Vettori and co.
Vettoris innings is what won it for them.

 

[khanlala]

hahah Inti did the trans for something that MOYO didn't say at all...

what the heck..

 

[desidudecool]

mohammad yousuf with a translator

 

[Garuda]

Kashtiyan Shaahil pe akshar doobti hai kya karen ??

 

[UP]

Kashtiyan Shaahil pe akshar doobti hai kya karen ??

Imran Farhat ki maa behan karo.

 

[khanlala]

MOYO will say something and then look at SD like he understood

 

[USaqaf]

Why is he saying 'zabardast' soooo many times!?

 

[KA$H]

OMG - inti making excuses for FART's feilding or have i totally misinterpreted?

 

[khanlala]

Imran Farhat ki maa behan karo.

plz yaar...why do we have to bring family in this?

its not his fault to be picked..one should asked Iqbal Qaim and co to answer for Imran Farhat Selection..

 

[desidudecool]

i remember a match like that in chennai ..india was close to victory with 5 wickets in hand..and sachin got out to saqlain and pakistan won by 20 runs or something

 

[UP]

plz yaar...why do we have to bring family in this?

its not his fault to be picked..one should asked Iqbal Qaim and co to answer for Imran Farhat Selection..

It was a joke yaar. Nothing personal.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Blood is boiling right now! MY GOD! I really really need to find another hobby..other then Pakistan Cricket..we need to bring in better players pronto..also YK PLZ come back..have some mercy on this Pak batting lineup..

So upset right now!

 

[khanlala]

Why is he saying 'zabardast' soooo many times!?

well following in the footstep of peer inzi

 

[qaiser]

man of the match
not bond, nor u.akmal but

the great DAAAMAAD...SIR IMRAN FARHAT

 

[USaqaf]

Shane bond looks just like Christian Bale:

 

[OZGOD]

It's all funny making fun of Farhat but shouldn't get personal. It's not his fault that the selectors keep playing him. He's doing the best he can. He's just not good enough.

I agree with this. If Imran Farhat keeps getting picked despite being not up to it the problem lies with the selectors and their criteria for selecting players. Wasn't this Younis Khan's team by the way? I thought he was given latitude to pick who he wanted?

 

[Seen Sheen]

The defeat is really hurting,I was just so confident that we'll pull this one off but our batsmen just cant perform on the given day...its a habit now,they just ruin the good work of the bowlers..

 

[Amir]

I agree with this. If Imran Farhat keeps getting picked despite being not up to it the problem lies with the selectors and their criteria for selecting players. Wasn't this Younis Khan's team by the way? I thought he was given latitude to pick who he wanted?

That was a rumour. People are upset because Farhat did nothing to get back into the team. His father in law picked him and it was pure nepotism.

I dont think this is Younus team. He would never select Faisal Iqbal or Farhat.

 

[Juggernaut]

Imran Farhat get's picked because he has a relative on the selection panel. Simple as. People are making Farhat out to be a saint. As if he keeps getting picked when he doesn't want to.

 

[Savak]

A pretty poor squad selected overall as far as the batting options are concerned. Dont know why Yasir Hameed was ignored, Ahmed Shehzad was ignored, other promising, technically correct players were ignored?

Misbah ul Haq? You have to be kidding me, watching him bat and his batting stance, technique is very reminiscant of some langra batting. His technique is much worse than Malik and he will be a sitting duck on these pitches.

 

[hashmist]

and the end :'( I wanna cry
BILLY DOCTROVE SUCKS!
IMRAN FARHAT SUCKS!
SHOAIB MALIK SUCKS!
FAWAD ALAM SUCKS!
KHURRAM MANZOOR doesn't suck coz he got a great run out

Aamir rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correction:
Imran Farhat sucks donkey kong!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'm shattered with staying up and its nearly 6am! Cheers Oxy, Muzy, Insaaniyat, Saj001 for the company we had on here while these last hours! See ya all InshahAllah.

 

[sali]

MoYo telling that Shane Bond was the difference. Was he expecting everyone to bowl 120 plus? he should remember how Umer Akmal played him every where.

The difference was Imran farhat.

Well done Akmals, Ameer and Asif. Good fight from them.

Here we go again with this Yasir Hameed crap.

Younis played Faisal Iqbal, so your assertion is not true

 

[Amir]

Younis played Faisal Iqbal, so your assertion is not true

When? And was it YOunus or the selection panel? Pretty sure selection panel.

 

[Ryankhan]

We lost becoz of our POOR n Crap fielding. Farhat should be whacked for 7 straight hours for dropping all the easy catches. Kiwis 1st innings was where it all started if Guptil n Vettori catch hadn't been dropped then we would had won the test match easily. our top order is not good to be played. drop both of them i dont care. Fawad needs to play down the order in kiwis condition as he cant play good with the new ball. get the hell malik out of da team, he is no good. umer yet again played superb knock and kamran as usual was playing like its a 20-20 match. if kamran had stayed there we would hv won this one. I missed Razzak down the order in these kind of situations.

 

[hashmist]

I don't care about the positives that came out of this match. I don't care about the fact that our team gave a good fight against everyone's predictions. I don't care about what a great match it was. We lost. Thats all that matters. Our team just wasn't good enough, even though Akmals, Aamer and Asif were more than good. This will be a very difficult match to get over. God dam* Farhat.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Ok OH boyyyy, its negative reply time.. Pak has no one to blame but themselves if the catches were held they would have won this game easily... This wasnt a clear cut case of NZ outplaying Pak but rather Pak played a careless game...

 

[Seen Sheen]

MoYo telling that Shane Bond was the difference. Was he expecting everyone to bowl 120 plus? he should remember how Umer Akmal played him every where.

The difference was Imran farhat.

Well done Akmals, Ameer and Asif. Good fight from them.

yeah,bond bowled well but he wasnt the difference.Drop catches and pathetic batting cost us the game..even umar akmal's also a culprit in 2nd inns.He shouldve steered us home with only 56 req.but then I remember that he is making debut and he isnt the only batsman in the team...i can only request now that Please,please keep farhat and malik away from the team as far as possible..I am really feeling very low atm..we cant even beat NZ..this is really disappointing..

 

[qaiser]

In my opinion even this poorly selected pak team was many times better than kiwis. the only difference was slip catching

 

[Juggernaut]

Thinking like a true Pakistani there. They fielded better than us. That's a big difference. An important difference. Batting and bowling doesn't just make a game. Fielding is also an important aspect.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

at 23-2, i didn't want to sour eidh, so went to sleep hoping against hope.

waking up to another collapse was no real suprise. who says Pak has no control ?, a controlled demolishion in perfect synch if ever i saw one (quite a common occurences in most matches involving the prima donnas that unashamedly sport the Pakistan team kit

 

[mrmiz]

Congrats to NZ. We all know Pak gave them the game on a plate but in the end NZ had to take the plate. Wonder what meals will be served up next Test ?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

we need to bat first, as our mentally-challenged batsmen collapse at the first sign of pressure. using Aamir and Ajmal as openers, we'd have probably got a 50 stand.

our all too lamented fielding doesn't help, with certain useless' not helping the cause. the captain seems like he could be holding a cup of coffee in the field, to battle the weather condition. a miilitary leader, he wouldn't be.

 

[moumotta]

If you remove unforced errors this is a game Pakistan should have won by a big margin.

I don't think any change to game plan will impact on unforced errors for they are random and can only be minimised by better application.

 

[Oxy]

I fell asleep within seconds of the defeat. No time to be depressed. Its sinking in now.

What a sham
