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

[Alchemy]

Mate, you're getting way ahead of yourself. I know it's exciting how Pakistan finally got a huge opening stand, though its an absolute highway, and I expect NZ to bat ok considering they haven't played in 4 months, and key players are just back from injury.

The way you're gloating (as [MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] said) is making me want to support NZ even though I'm Pakistani.

Oh dont worry, Pakistan doesnt needs supporters like you. You can remain confused on what country to support. Makes you nothing short than a glory hunter. He for one is not gloating. Gloating is when you have no base just like kiwi fans who had this hollow arrogance which is being crushed now.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Is this even a surprise ??? What were you guys expecting ??

 

[Hawkeye]

Why the hell some of you are targeting NZ posters? Have some integrity. Looking like ZIM/BD fans who got overexcited after seeing the team bat well!!

 

[Bosch]

See boy's I don't get this about non Pakistanis on this forum they come and give the BIGEN but Once it's their turn to take it they start coming out with BS stats or they become so humble Questioning others humble ness. Before you dish out learn to take it first.

 

[Alchemy]

You are acting like both teams have batted.

I am sure you must be praying hard right now that Pakistani bowling fails so you can save some grace. News flash: Not gonna happen.

 

[Sam18696]

HAFEEEZZZZ ) )

 

[Bilal7]

You are acting like both teams have batted.

You call your team crap and then hype them in the next post. Confused.

Best captain in the world? )
Are you kidding me bro?

Who's better?

Not gloating. I'm talking reality. Don't support a team because of someone else.

No one is getting over-excited, get off your high ground. Everyone was fed up from these kiwi posters from their hollow arrogance and we are happy that it got crushed on just Day 1.

 

[Sam18696]

Gone on 96 )

 

[Arsal_AK]

Bad luck Hafeez.

Brilliantly played though.

 

[Hawkeye]

Before getting too full of ourselves, let me remind you that this is an absolute highway, and there is a chance that NZ may bat well too.

Even if they get rolled over this game, they will definitely bounce back better for the rest of the series. Keep in mid they haven't playe Tests in 4 months, and a few key players just came out of injury.

I predicted from the very beginning that NZ would get rolled over in the 1st game, but bounce back in the other two.

Before calling it a highway, let the KIWIS bat first. The same was said about AUS series pitches, and see how Aussie batsmen got rolled over and couldn't bat on these "HIGHWAYS" to save their lives.

Else you'll find no place to hide here, my friend

 

[Bilal7]

Exactly.

Oops, Hafeez falls. Poor guy but well played, MashAllah.

Exactly. When you cant take it then dont dish out as well.

 

[hussain.r97]

Aw, absolute highway. Wait when Pakistan bowls. Poor young hussain. Just as confused as Aman. )

I don't know what game you're watching if you don't think its a highway. I expect NZ to bat decently. If they make below 270, it will be because they haven't played since June, and a few players are just back out of injury.

 

[Sam18696]

Still he deserved the 100. Will be gutted

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

hahaha Hafeez ) What a hack he is

 

[Boi]

Hafeez bottles it...

 

[Ahson8]

Damn it. Out on 96.
But well-played.

 

[m.shah]

Oh no

 

[Sam18696]

In comes Azhar

 

[Hawkeye]

Look, taking on these posters is fine once they start baking humble pies. But don't over-humiliate them.

 

[Bilal7]

Why the hell some of you are targeting NZ posters? Have some integrity. Looking like ZIM/BD fans who got overexcited after seeing the team bat well!!

Why the hell are you jumping in something without any context whatsoever?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well played hafeez. Some delightful shots.

Oh, i am watching the same game dear ser. Havent played since june, back out of injury? ) Excuses have stared rolling in already.

 

[Bilal7]

This is how you bowl on these pitches. Mix it up, use all your tricks and go hard at the new batsman.

 

[hussain.r97]

The Dubai pitch vs AU was a slow turner.

The Abu Dhabi vs AUS pitch was a highway. I'm not sure how AUS managed to fail so bad on a highway. Mitch Marsh scored in both innings, and Steve Smith managed to almost get a ton. There were no demons in that pitch, Australia were mentally scarred from the first Test.

 

[Alchemy]

Look, taking on these posters is fine once they start baking humble pies. But don't over-humiliate them.

Over-humilate? You have forgotten how [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] used to de-rail every thread proclaiming that kiwis are better than Pakistan. This fake peice of crap arrogance which i would call a donkey wearing a loin's skin is crushed. I am really really happy.

 

[Fastandfurious]

hahaha Hafeez ) What a hack he is

Hafeez isn't a hack, plays proper cricket shots. He's just short on ability.

 

[Bilal7]

Azhar is going to suck the life out of this game now. Shehzad better keep injecting some back into it.

 

[Convict]

Can Clarke? Or KP, Trott, Cook or Bell? Not sure Kallis was a huge hit here either.

Clarke's broken. His back is gone.

Also recognise banter aimed at [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] for what it is

 

[Boi]

Azhar is going to suck the life out of this game now. Shehzad better keep injecting some back into it.

Nope. I expect him to play more fluently today seen as though a good platform has been set. Quite a rarity for Azhar to come in at this kind of situation.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I still think that fastest century was the worst thing to happen to Corey Anderson.

He isn't that great.

 

[hussain.r97]

Oh, i am watching the same game dear ser. Havent played since june, back out of injury? ) Excuses have stared rolling in already.

These are facts, not excuses. The chances NZ score 300+ here is higher than the chances they won't. The problem is no one knows what form Williamson and Taylor are in. If one of them fire, NZ will be 300+. If both fire, NZ will be 400+. If they don't, NZ should be around 250+.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

When NZ fans give us, its all banter and fun - when we give it back its over humiliation ??? If you can't take it back then one should not provoke and derail a thread for that matter. [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] [MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] [MENTION=137288]Alchemy[/MENTION] lets take it down a notch guys - sad to see NZ fans can't take the banter when there on the receiving end.

Okay, so let me quote one FACT for you. Pakistani bowling attack is extremely inexperienced. If they fare better than your attack then better jump off the cliff for all hopes of kiwis doing any better.

 

[Space Cat]

This place has gone to the dogs big time.

 

[MRSN]

hahaha Hafeez ) What a hack he is

What a poor comment. The same hack smashed each and every Kiwi bowler for his 96 instead of feasting on just spinners like YK and Misbah. Give credit where its due.

Fantastic knock by Sir hafeez. Owning the haters..

 

[Space Cat]

Don't paint every NZ fan with the same brush.

Okay then. Didnt know kiwi posters were such crybabies but they have shown their class.

 

[Bilal7]

Counter banter.

Nope. I expect him to play more fluently today seen as though a good platform has been set. Quite a rarity for Azhar to come in at this kind of situation.

Hope so. I didn't see him accelerate even after getting a good start in past matches.

 

[leatherface58]

Actually dogs would do better.

Again big words from you. They may very well come back to haunt you. Let your team bat first

Hafeez should play at 7 period. Why can't you guys understand this simple fact ?? him feasting on phattas will hurt us in the long run . He should be in the team but play @ 7 which is best suited for his playing style and ability

 

[Alchemy]

This place has gone to the dogs big time.

Don't paint every NZ fan with the same brush.

LOL, i remember this is the same guy who was cheering for Aman when he was trolling that day and making up stuff that oh Alchemy got pwned by Aman and all that when in actual i pwned not only aman but him as well.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Being all saint and stuff. )

 

[MRSN]

Now the scoring rate will be down.

 

[Alchemy]

Actually dogs would do better.

I am glad you have came. How is it feeling ser?

Its just a couple, really. Agree with your post though, enough of this nonsense. Lets direct our anger towards Azhar.

 

[hussain.r97]

Okay, so let me quote one FACT for you. Pakistani bowling attack is extremely inexperienced. If they fare better than your attack then better jump off the cliff for all hopes of kiwis doing any better.

Babar and Yasir are experienced FC players. In fact Babar is a veteran spinner, I wouldn't call them extremely inexperienced, just moderately.

Pakistan are off the back of 2 straight Test series. This is NZ's first Test series since June. And before you say I'm 'making excuses' let me remind you the excuses people here made after losing the SL series due to not playing enough cricket before hand.

 

[Energetic]

Again hardly any crowd. I guess nobody wants to see teams like New Zealand.

 

[NZcricketfan]

LOL, i remember this is the same guy who was cheering for Aman when he was trolling that day and making up stuff that oh Alchemy got pwned by Aman and all that when in actual i pwned not only aman but him as well.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Being all saint and stuff. )

I never backed aman. I know how biased the guy is. Now can you shut up and get back to the cricket.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I still think that fastest century was the worst thing to happen to Corey Anderson.

He isn't that great.

Yeah. Good in LOI's but certainly not test class as of yet.

Just hope that you don't pay for that as much a we did.

 

[90MPH]

I home Azhar doesn't stall the innings With his go slow approach.

He needs to be positive and put them into the sword after such a good start by the openers.

 

[Alchemy]

I never backed aman. I know how biased the guy is. Now can you shut up and get back to the cricket.

I am talking about trollcat.

 

[Hawkeye]

Don't paint every NZ fan with the same brush.

Ditto that.

Only Aman used to troll in threads.

 

[Bilal7]

Alchemy is gonna get banned pretty soon. Calm down bro, let the boys take your revenge!

 

[Space Cat]

The arrogance around here is scarcely believable at times.

Some NZ fans may stoke the fire but its a two way street.

 

[MRSN]

HAFEEEZZZZ ) )

Gone on 96 )

hahaha Hafeez ) What a hack he is

What was there to laugh? Hafeez isn't selfish enough to care about 100s. He was looking for quock runs which was exactly the team needed. He did his job.

 

[Alchemy]

Babar and Yasir are experienced FC players. In fact Babar is a veteran spinner, I wouldn't call them extremely inexperienced, just moderately.

Pakistan are off the back of 2 straight Test series. This is NZ's first Test series since June. And before you say I'm 'making excuses' let me remind you the excuses people here made after losing the SL series due to not playing enough cricket before hand.

So that means you are making the same excuse now which Pakistanis made after the SL series?

 

[hussain.r97]

Yeah. Good in LOI's but certainly not test class as of yet.

Just hope that you don't pay for that as much a we did.

Wagner should have played ahead of Anderson. NZ needed someone to reverse the ball alongside Southee. If NZ get thumped today, one of Anderson and Neesham will be dropped for the 2nd Test.

 

[Bilal7]

Azhar settling down into his natural rhythm of striking at a rate of 30.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wha did Hafeez do wrong?

Horrible to see ppl laughing

 

[Hawkeye]

Corey Anderson's inclusion is a HUGE advantage for PAK

 

[JibranAnsari]

250 at the end of day will be ok for me.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar settling down into his natural rhythm of striking at a rate of 30.

nothing wrong with him.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I still think that fastest century was the worst thing to happen to Corey Anderson.

He isn't that great.

What about when he hit 90+ in IPL? Surely a good batsman in LOI that plays good cricketing shots?

 

[hussain.r97]

So that means you are making the same excuse now which Pakistanis made after the SL series?

No, I'm saying these long breaks from cricket are facts and should be taken into account. If NZ get rolled over today, expect them to bounce back better in the 3rd, if not 2nd Test.

 

[MRSN]

Some really overreactipn by misbah fans in this thread. It's a 5 day game.

 

[NZcricketfan]

What about when he hit 90+ in IPL? Surely a good batsman in LOI that plays good cricketing shots?

two innings should not make you a permanent member of a team.

 

[Bullet Drive]

88* what a batsman

 

[Bilal7]

Sick shot that.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

The arrogance around here is scarcely believable at times.

Some NZ fans may stoke the fire but its a two way street.

I believe you look both ways when you cross a two way street, don't you ??. What goes around comes around, but its all banter and fun here mate - nothing too serious The way some of y'all are reacting is extremely surprising given how NZ fans, in general, were hyping of being world beaters.

 

[Bilal7]

nothing wrong with him.

Should score quicker though. Atleast strike at 50, especially with such a base.

 

[Hawkeye]

What was there to laugh? Hafeez isn't selfish enough to care about 100s. He was looking for quock runs which was exactly the team needed. He did his job.

And him scoring means PAK will have to suffer in the upcoming Tests (and upcoming Test series). Be a bit neutral, Hafeez isn't a Test class player and you too know it he will embarrass us in Tests if batting on sporting pitches.

 

[Bosch]

Look, taking on these posters is fine once they start baking humble pies. But don't over-humiliate them.

Bahi there is limit to everything. Dog eat Dog world out there. Bite first don't expect to get bitten back what kind of thinking is this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shehzad is what a real batsman is. Over the last few years we've seen lots of rubbish. Thank God he is here to stay. Proven lots of people wrong.

I know how to judge a cricketer.
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] [MENTION=132715]Varun[/MENTION] [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]

the three main posters against Shehzad all proven wrong yet again.

 

[Arsal_AK]

The NZ posters are all quality expect for [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION]. He is getting what he paid for.

 

[Space Cat]

LOL, i remember this is the same guy who was cheering for Aman when he was trolling that day and making up stuff that oh Alchemy got pwned by Aman and all that when in actual i pwned not only aman but him as well.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Being all saint and stuff. )

Aman made you look silly then and again today you are prancing around like a rooster.

I just don't want to see you drag things into the gutter and get banned my friend.

 

[hussain.r97]

I want to see Shehzad making a double here. He seems to become extremely careless after his ton. He's gotten out playing a reverse sweep after both his tons, which is a shot he never plays.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should score quicker though. Atleast strike at 50, especially with such a base.

he just came in.

 

[NZcricketfan]

One person. Aman was claiming we were world beaters. That is not all New Zealanders.
