Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test | Nov 9-13, 2014 | Abu Dhabi | Day 1

[hussain.r97]

Brendom Mccullum - right arm dodgy spin

But he's bowling medium pace, not spin

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Is that Spin or Medium Pace from BDM ??

 

[NZcricketfan]

But he's bowling medium pace, not spin

With that action is is hard to tell.

 

[hussain.r97]

Is that Spin or Medium Pace from BDM ??

Pretty sure it's medium pace.

 

[hussain.r97]

With that action is is hard to tell.

His cricinfo profile says he bowls medium pace.

 

[Bullet Drive]

mcullum is NZ best bowler

 

[dhump]

Pak is ultimate HTB Team, we all have to accept that

Only if we were playing at home.

 

[Yatoo]

I was hoping of reaching 280 today

 

[dhump]

Is that Spin or Medium Pace from BDM ??

Something in between two, right arm harmless.

 

[akamaka]

Get 270 -280 with 1 wicket down. And then hopefully can really launch tmrw, and maybe score fastest 150

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis in big trouble.

 

[Justcrazy]

Almost out !!!!

 

[Bosch]

You can blatantly tell he was bowling with a lot frustrations lol he didn't know what to do

 

[ExplicitAI]

Dropped

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

)

 

[dhump]

Dropped Azhar Ali 31*.

 

[Bosch]

Dropped

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor batting.

We should have looked to maximise runs off Mccullum and co before new ball

 

[Justcrazy]

New ball taken .

 

[ExplicitAI]

I feel that Kamran Akmal is keeping for Pakistan nowadays, too many Keepers have made a mess behind the stumps against Pak in recent times and that's a fact.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dull partnership .. good for team but poo for the viewers.

 

[dhump]

So new ball taken and big chance for NZ to get wickets here and get back in to the game.

 

[Pakprideuk]

Poor batting.

We should have looked to maximise runs off Mccullum and co before new ball

Its an old ball, seems like its hard to get away. Really slow wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

No teams took any reiews

 

[Bosch]

Poor batting.

We should have looked to maximise runs off Mccullum and co before new ball

New ball will bring runs watch this space bro

 

[Arsal_AK]

New ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Got a feeling Shehzad may get LBW now... hmmmm

 

[akamaka]

Lol, chisti talking about reviews... no need for reviews here

 

[Bullet Drive]

240-1

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need couple of quick wickets here.

 

[90MPH]

Azhar is not a number 3, period.

A number 3 should be pushing the scoring, not stagnating it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

113*

9 more overs for Shehzad to handle.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch looks really good.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Good so far by Shehzad.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar is not a number 3, period.

A number 3 should be pushing the scoring, not stagnating it.

twin centuries at 3 vs AUS suggest he is actually a number 3.

 

[leatherface58]

Absolutely no swing for Boult and Southee so far.

 

[Arsal_AK]

twin centuries at 3 vs AUS suggest he is actually a number 3.

No he is not.His best position is that of an opener.

 

[Justcrazy]

They need to keep pitching the ball up here.

 

[90MPH]

twin centuries at 3 vs AUS suggest he is actually a number 3.

Sure. He's still not a number 3. He should either open or bat at 4 or 5.

A number 3 should be dominating the bowling, especially after a good start.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shehzad needs to stay till stumps here.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Absolutely no swing for Boult and Southee so far.

Southee is getting some decent shape.

 

[90MPH]

Absolutely no swing for Boult and Southee so far.

Southee is getting good shape but too wide.

This swing won't last long though.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Southee trundling in at 128 kph.

 

[Zero]

How much is Sodhi turning the ball?

 

[Justcrazy]

Two more runs , should have been three.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have shut down the shop here.

 

[90MPH]

How much is Sodhi turning the ball?

A little bit but nothing threatening. Maybe he will be more effective on days 4/5.

 

[farhan]

very very slow batting by these players..

 

[Justcrazy]

7 more overs left.

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

Is only me who think Mamoon is the most honest Pak poster, but most people think he is a troll because he don't agree with popular opinion or pro Pak opinion only for the sake of being a Pakistani. We should appreciate such honest people.

 

[razabbas]

our NRR is pretty lowe even though we have lost just 1 wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch looks good one

 

[leatherface58]

Great ball by Southee but where is the slip?

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful ball , lucky for shehzad.

 

[IAJ]

Poor stuff from McCullum there.

 

[Justcrazy]

Welcome to PP mate [emoji106]

 

[dhump]

Great ball by Southee but where is the slip?

Placed perfectly to miss that catch.

Fishyyyyy

 

[dhump]

our NRR is pretty lowe even though we have lost just 1 wicket

Its ok we should understand this is how we bat and how our game plan works, even with this RR we will score 450-500 if we bat tomorrow till tea which is fine enough.

 

[IAJ]

Great ball by Southee but where is the slip?

Crazy stuff really. You don't get many chances on this wicket so got to have the slip there.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have targeted 300 today , specially with just one down.

 

[90MPH]

Is only me who think Mamoon is the most honest Pak poster, but most people think he is a troll because he don't agree with popular opinion or pro Pak opinion only for the sake of being a Pakistani. We should appreciate such honest people.

Where is he today ?

I like debating with him, agree or disagree.

Funny thing is yesterday he gave a good reply to a Indian troll but his comments got deleted and I haven't seen him since.

I hope he is not banned, ironic since this time he was defending Pak.

 

[m.shah]

249/1

 

[Arsal_AK]

Horrribly played by Shehzad.

Good from Southee though.

 

[IAJ]

Is only me who think Mamoon is the most honest Pak poster, but most people think he is a troll because he don't agree with popular opinion or pro Pak opinion only for the sake of being a Pakistani. We should appreciate such honest people.

Where is the last "N" in your name?

 

[Justcrazy]

Wicket here is vital for kiwi .

 

[Bosch]

I seriously don't know how to reply to this one lol. Bit of a coincidence that he isn't showed up to as yet in this tread you have with only a N missing at the end of your first name coincidence would you say mmmmmm

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

BTW where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] ??? Where art thou mate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bosch]

Where is the last "N" in your name?

Lol damn right where is it

 

[Ikball]

Once again, Tuk tuk mode on for shehzad

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis khan still waiting for his chance to bat , he would not have expected.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I seriously don't know how to reply to this one lol. Bit of a coincidence that he isn't showed up to as yet in this tread you have with only a N missing at the end of your first name coincidence would you say mmmmmm

Finally I think Identity Crisis over for [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]. Enlightenment has been reached

 

[Convict]

I seriously don't know how to reply to this one lol. Bit of a coincidence that he isn't showed up to as yet in this tread you have with only a N missing at the end of your first name coincidence would you say mmmmmm

It's not Mamoon. It's someone else who we know

 

[Justcrazy]

our NRR is pretty lowe even though we have lost just 1 wicket

Yes , should have been a bit high

 

[IAJ]

Oh lucky there Azhar

 

[Justcrazy]

Great ball , again lucky for Pakistan batsman

First of all, you're not a new poster otherwise you wouldn't be so informed of those on the site.

Secondly, that specific poster antagonizes the board and pretty much never responds to anyone with facts that they bring forth, just reiterates the same things over and over again that have been proven wrong.

Thirdly, his ego to the point where he thinks he's never wrong but constantly proven wrong and never admits he was wrong irks me more than anything.

He thinks he's always right but in fact rarely is. It has nothing to do with being a **** homer. I myself believe our talent is dying too, so does that make me "tell the truth that is anti Pakistani".

He is deliberately on the other side of the coin and has even admitted he would rather make bold and usually unreal and irresponsible predictions than actually look at the situation for what it is.

Indians like Mamoon because he overly talks negatively of Pakistan, Pakistanis like Mamoom because they believe straying from what is right and speaking with a different narrative must mean you are extremely smart.

Being a line wolf from the pack doesn't mean you're any better than the pack, it can mean you are arrogant.

I used to think he posted his honest opinion but now I believe he just posts to be different and stand out. I can't stand people who cater to a crowd and have some pride.

I was wrong on plenty of guys and I'll admit it but sorry if anyone still thinks Umar Amin will be anything for Pakistan, then that person shouldn't be taken seriously.

 

[Mamoon]

Unfortunately due to the exams I wasn't able to watch much of the day's play.

Bizarre approach in the final session and overall an unconvincing day in spite of losing just 1 wicket. We should have been 40-50 runs ahead now.

At times I really don't understand Shehzad's approach and whether he plays for the team or his average.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol I have nothing to do with this Indian Mamoo.

He wants to play for team , but ends up playing for average.[emoji41]

 

[Justcrazy]

Just four overs left
