Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test - Day 5 | Dunedin | 28/11/09

[Deewana Mastana]

Moyo walks out and now will he also encourage the NZ fielders here?! Hope not!

 

[CricketBuff]

Bring back Salman Butt!!!

 

[ali_ed2006]

this sucks...moyo is exposed to new ball early.

 

[jwizle]

Openers Failing Again!!!

What else is new. both openers fail again. i expected this from the donkey, but was hoping to see something from khurram. we really need to find a solution to this problem.

 

[coy0607]

both openers gone within the first 6 overs, is anyone even surprised.......hopefully this is the last time i see farhat

 

[atiff_uk]

yeah and khurram manzoor wat are they doing in the team??? why have opening pair who cant even move their feet

 

[dhump]

I hope Moyo play his classic and i can already hear fawad crying did anyone else hear it ???

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Here comes out Mohamad Yousuf.

 

[iafzal]

ICL bully gone.
Hopefully for good from Pak team

[Afridi_Fan]

Imran will score century

)

 

[tauseefm]

so we have Farthead in all 3 forms eh? PCB is full of pig headed people

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

this should end farhat's tour...bye bye

 

[saadjhussain]

expect them to be all out just before lunch

 

[insaaniyat]

if our selectors or the captain have anything to say, he will be back 2nd test. However they will drop khurram for Butt

 

[Juggernaut]

Khurram's technique hasn't changed for ****.

It's exactly the same as it was against Sri Lanka. In fact I remember in one game Kulasekara got him out with his footwork exactly like that.

All this talk of I'm working on my game: BS

And there's goes Imran Farhat. If you're gonna play it atleast do it with a straight bat.

 

[90MPH]

Game is gone in terms of victory.

This has to be about survival now. Draw will be a great result.

 

[imshally81]

we need afridi in test side

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NZ fielding is not going to let anything slip out from their hands and will grab absolutely anything that comes their way!

Seen 2 examples right now!

 

[mindless slogging]

Umar Akmal seems to be the batting line-up for us.

What no hope openers. WY: Only Mcgrath can do that.........Oh, Martin has done it aswell.

farhat making Martin seem like McGrath. Pathetic.

 

[Amir]

At leas the positive is that we won't ever have to see Farhat anytime within the next 3 months in the test arena.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Khurram Manzoor is one of the worst openers I have ever seen. Pathetic technique. I hop ehe never plays for pakistan again

 

[sali]

The two openers don't count. Why are we keep playing Khachra? The game is wheter Ameer, MoYo, Fawad, and Akmals can score 250.

 

[Oxy]

In Farhat's defence, he watched it all the way to the slip fielder after he edged it

 

[imshally81]

khalid latif should replace the khurrum manzoor

 

[RumiNYC]

awful plain disturbing display by Pak rite now...c'mon guys..it's a frigging Eid...make us happy...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No team can survive just by defending.

 

[iafzal]

ironic the catch Farhat gave, he dropped 2 very similar ones himself.

 

[Oxy]

I do feel a degree of certainty with Alam & Moyo out there though

 

[insaaniyat]

At leas the positive is that we won't ever have to see Farhat anytime within the next 3 months in the test arena.

you will see him next test

 

[amar1212]

Imran and Khurram are worthless pieces of crap...wth PCB cant find damn openers!!!!!!!!!!
how hard can it be to open Fawad and Salman Bhutt!

 

[ahmed16]

Our openers are so **** that if i had to choose between them and Malik to bat for my life....i would probably choose Malik.

 

[dhump]

If we just look at the brighter side I was not expecting anything else from these 2 so actually game is as per plan.

 

[Juggernaut]

khalid latif should replace the khurrum manzoor

You're new so I won't have a go at you for that.

Anyway, Why is Imran Farhat opening the face of the bat to that delivery? WHY?

 

[iafzal]

In Farhat's defence, he watched it all the way to the slip fielder after he edged it

I hope he learned how to catch those low catches while he watched it go in those safe hands

 

[Afridi_Fan]

expect them to be all out just before lunch

issed:

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

relax guys...our openers are nice guys they just returning the favor...we had them 0/2 so this is just returning the favor

 

[RumiNYC]

8/2 guys ? and Pak is preparing to play Aus ?

 

[CricketBuff]

we need to borrow some slip fielders from the kiwis !!!!!

 

[atiff_uk]

lol haha.. learning how to catch... good catch but should be edging it like that might as well muhammad amir opener.. he has done better then both these no hopers ...

 

[insaaniyat]

ironic the catch Farhat gave, he dropped 2 very similar ones himself.

Irony is that he had to be out at slip, where he himself dropped catches regularly

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

fawad will be opening in the next game....with who...idk

 

[RumiNYC]

Forget about a decent Test match opener...bring back Aamir nazir..atleast he'll scored a quick 30...

 

[CricketBuff]

Openers for next test Butt and Fawad Alam!!!!!

 

[dhump]

and I hate these commentators why dont they already declare the match in kiwis favor

 

[iafzal]

I have a feeling that we will see Butt and Fawad as openers in the next test. Unless of course Sussar is still using the dark side to keep the damad in the team somehow.

 

[tauseefm]

Forget about a decent Test match opener...bring back Aamir nazir..atleast he'll scored a quick 30...

i agree

 

[amarmak]

ironic the catch Farhat gave, he dropped 2 very similar ones himself.

dude... those catches were 10 times easier.

this was a tough catch.

 

[Seen Sheen]

shot,yousuf

 

[coy0607]

honestly, they should just bring back taufeeq umar....hes better than any opener whos played for pakistan in the last 7-8 years

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely shot by Moyo

4 runs

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four to Yousuf.

 

[imshally81]

You're new so I won't have a go at you for that.

Anyway, Why is Imran Farhat opening the face of the bat to that delivery? WHY?

i can't understand my friend

 

[dhump]

nice one from Moyo

 

[saadjhussain]

imran farhat has cost us this test match

 

[the Great Khan]

So moyo and fawad are makeshift openers..may aswell just open with them!!!

 

[ShehryarK]

The technique of our top 3 seems on par with our end three - we really need to think about opening with Aamer etc, kicking out the current "opening batsmen" and playing some other more useful batters/bowlers/catchers instead of Khurram and Farhat.....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

In Farhat's defence, he watched it all the way to the slip fielder after he edged it

And he didn't ask for a review.

 

[CricketBuff]

Lovely shot by MoYo. It all depends on him now!!!!

 

[insaaniyat]

Forget about a decent Test match opener...bring back Aamir nazir..atleast he'll scored a quick 30...

make sense

 

[shane]

Another pair of Pakistan openers make a cock up of it. I think its time to seriously consider asking the tailenders t open? You could play a couple of extra middle order batsmen that way.

 

[dhump]

imran farhat has cost us this test match

Nai Nai Nai he just scored -150. if I am not underestimating his talents of sucking.

 

[Seen Sheen]

U beauty

 

[Sheikh]

Stunning cover drive by Yousuf.

 

[dhump]

Moyo in class

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four more to Yousuf.

 

[sali]

should openers have gone in and played a T20 game? They never survive but a quick 50 would have given an edge.

 

[pak4life]

classic cover drive. This is moyo's day I can sense it!

 

[RumiNYC]

Guys...please..dont mention Salman butt name either...he's HORRIBLE...Yaser hameed anyone

 

[Seen Sheen]

Guided it for ....

 

[Oxy]

6 to Moyo - what intent

14-2

 

[Sheikh]

Well there's the run rate sorted, in 3 balls.

 

[imshally81]

6666666666666666666666

 

[dhump]

Moyo gone mad he drink afridi tonic today,

 

[12thMan]

MoYo has to last till 20+ score untill I am little calm. No wicket till lunch and 15 minutes after lunch

 

[iafzal]

pure class

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What an over

14 from it

Top edge for 6 by Moyo

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Six by Moyo.

 

[coy0607]

yousuf is looking as aggressive as iv ever seen him in a test match

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

such a big difference btw a batsman and a pretender (farhat / KM)
