[ahmedwaqas92]

Out hay yeah......

 

[PTI tsunami]

Oh no that's looks close

 

[Aman]

That's what I mean by luck.

 

[PTI tsunami]

That was close

 

[hussain.r97]

Very close.

 

[Big Mac]

Heartbreaker for New Zealand, keep it coming

 

[Bullet Drive]

Jimmy Neesham, drop of the century goes to him

 

[Aman]

Jimmy Neesham, drop of the century goes to him

Not really, you're going to score regardless of who's out there. All about waiting for the declaration.

 

[akamaka]

everything going pakistan's way, remains to be seen for how much longer

 

[MRSN]

these two are stuck. can't they hit big to keep the scorecard going?

 

[Aman]

Another one that could have easily been chopped on.

Hopefully our luck is building for the next Test.

 

[Bullet Drive]

12 more for YK ton.

 

[MRSN]

these two are just playing for their centuries.

 

[Asif321]

yaar jaldi karo

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK averaging 54 now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bazid Khan trolling danny

 

[akamaka]

Bazid loves trolling Danny

 

[Bullet Drive]

We need 50 more runs.

30 and 21 for the tons and then please declare.

Hurry up now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bazid is my fav Pak commie. Huge troll. Love it!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

NZ to take 3rd new ball?

 

[Aman]

McCullum on

 

[Aman]

Defensive field set in play to let them get easy singles.

Waiting for the declaration.

 

[hussain.r97]

Bazz on to ball, time for some wickets

 

[Mamoon]

Should have feasted on the spinners more before the new ball. Poor cricket.

 

[MRSN]

YK averaging 54 now.

BD why are you so obsessed with averages and tons? Team comes ahead of everything these personal milestones shouldn't be given that much importance.

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum bowling on a road with Pakistan cruising in 2nd gear all day.

This is pretty dull cricket.

 

[Aman]

Gee wiz, put a fielder there, they've hit plenty to mid wicket

 

[Bullet Drive]

We will declare at about 570. Should be enough.

 

[Aman]

McCullum bowling on a road with Pakistan cruising in 2nd gear all day.

This is pretty dull cricket.

Don't forget the dead SC atmosphere and poor TV coverage.

 

[akamaka]

Should have feasted on the spinners more before the new ball. Poor cricket.

Misbah tried, got dropped about 4 times, went back into his shell.

 

[Asif321]

looks like both want will score centuries and then.declare do it quickly

 

[Aman]

McCullum missed a trick, he should have never gone with a second new ball, the Pakistani's would have struggled to hit a really tattered ball

 

[hussain.r97]

That ball looks like Mars Time for the new ball.

 

[the Great Khan]

NZ look shattered and battered.

 

[Aman]

That ball looks like Mars Time for the new ball.

Hell no. It'll be easier to score, new ball will just zip off the bat.

 

[Space Cat]

Don't forget the dead SC atmosphere and poor TV coverage.

Yep no crowd to speak of, Droning commentators and the awful danny morrison.

This is a death by a thousand cuts.

 

[Big Mac]

shot

 

[akamaka]

old ball new ball same result

 

[Bullet Drive]

I remember once Jimmy Neesham tweeted something about DRS and India not accepting it.

I tweeted him back saying 'wow very risky. You will not get an IPL contract now'

As soon as I said that he deleted his original tweet

 

[Aman]

Yep no crowd to speak of, Droning commentators and the awful danny morrison.

This is a death by a thousand cuts.

I swear our coverage a decade back was better than this

 

[Mamoon]

Hobbitses have been garbage in the field.

 

[hussain.r97]

Hell no. It'll be easier to score, new ball will just zip off the bat.

New ball would spinners could work with extra bounce and skid. Worth a try IMO, it's not like the old ball is getting them wickets.

 

[Mamoon]

)

Another sloppy effort.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Both into 80s. Who will get ton first?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

NZ giving Pakistan a run for their money in fielding

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nothing wrong with coverage.

 

[Space Cat]

NZ just waiting for a declaration. Bat for another day just to be nasty.

Lessons will be learned.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hobbitses have been garbage in the field.

Heat and fire of mordor too much for the Shire folk.

 

[dhump]

Nothing wrong with coverage.

NZ is getting battered and this being covered plenty of this is wrong for NZ supporters.

 

[Aman]

Yep no crowd to speak of, Droning commentators and the awful danny morrison.

This is a death by a thousand cuts.

Staying up for these matches is the real Test

At least when we'll bat we'll see some action - be it wickets or runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

14 vs 18 now.

 

[Aman]

NZ is getting battered and this being covered plenty of this is wrong for NZ supporters.

I've always maintained the coverage is poor?

 

[akamaka]

really need to make them bat tonight, they have given up already

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Why aren't they even trying to get one of these out ??? What defeatist mentality is this

 

[Mamoon]

Sad to see Azhar miss out on a hattrick of hundreds as well.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why is Shafiq padded up

 

[Mamoon]

You gotta feel for Shafiq and Sarfraz. Missing out on loads of runs thanks to their batting slots.

 

[Aman]

Why aren't they even trying to get one of these out ??? What defeatist mentality is this

Because this is a road?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

why these are not in hurry?

 

[Bullet Drive]

I reckon Bangladesh would do better then NZ.

 

[Professor]

From cricinfo:This is the first time in the history of Test cricket that the top five batsmen have each made over 80

 

[Mamoon]

Why is Shafiq padded up

The next 2 incoming batsmen should always be padded up. Two wickets can fall in quick succession.

 

[Space Cat]

NZ is getting battered and this being covered plenty of this is wrong for NZ supporters.

Slowly grinding us rather than battering.

Taken till after tea for the scoring to have any urgency.

 

[dhump]

I've always maintained the coverage is poor?

asking me or telling me ???

 

[pakistanisgreat]

misbah into 90s

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah 90

Yk 88

 

[Aman]

I reckon Bangladesh would do better then NZ.

I reckon Bangladesh could win a series in Zimbabwe

 

[Justcrazy]

Four.....

Younis on 88.

 

[Professor]

Because this is a road?

If I was you, I would wait till you have batted before bashing the pitch too much.

 

[dhump]

Slowly grinding us rather than battering.

Taken till after tea for the scoring to have any urgency.

This is how we do it... stupid little hobitssis never should have come to mordor.

 

[Justcrazy]

How long will Pakistan bat.

 

[Aman]

asking me or telling me ???

It's not because we're losing, I've always found it poor. And why wouldn't you? Compare it to the coverage of Sky NZ, Nine or Sky UK and you'll understand why.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common misbah...hurry up

 

[dhump]

If I was you, I would wait till you have batted before bashing the pitch too much.

Exactly my point I am not calling it a road or not just waiting for both teams to bat before declaring anything. We said the same during Pak vs Aus and then Aussies got them selves into all kind of troubles while batting.

 

[Sam18696]

Next time. Open with Shafiq and Sarfraz so they can get a chance to bat

 

[hussain.r97]

If I was you, I would wait till you have batted before bashing the pitch too much.

Waiting further will only prove its a highway, not a road.

 

[Space Cat]

If I was you, I would wait till you have batted before bashing the pitch too much.

It is a road. I doubt we are going to bat that well on it after 2 days in the heat and its beginning to give some turn.

I hope we do though.

 

[Aman]

If I was you, I would wait till you have batted before bashing the pitch too much.

Whether we bat well or poorly doesn't change anything. A road is a road.

 

[Justcrazy]

They will declare soon I guess.

 

[Mamoon]

How long will Pakistan bat.

Obvious. We'll declare when both get to their hundreds.
