Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test | Nov 9-13, 2014 | Abu Dhabi | Day 3

[Aman]

God damn it another 16 overs to survive.

 

[saiyan0312]

WOAH that took him out nearly. inseaming but too high.

 

[hussain.r97]

Beauty!!

 

[Ahson8]

Beautifully bowled. Inswing.

 

[hussain.r97]

Lol at the slip cordon's reaction

 

[Justcrazy]

Rameez wants Zulfi to bowl with new ball.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

oohhh ..... close

 

[Justcrazy]

127 runs to avoid follow on.

 

[Yatoo]

Raahat needs to chillax. He is putting pressure on himself.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

i have not seen too much of him .... but does rahat look like a capacble bowler?

 

[Space Cat]

More overs we bat now the less we have to bat in the 2nd innings.

 

[Aman]

Junaid is toast me thinks

 

[NZcricketfan]

Damn now I want naan bread and it is 1:25 in the morning

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Hafeez can bowl well with new ball as well. why not imran khan?

 

[Aman]

More overs we bat now the less we have to bat in the 2nd innings.

I just want the day to end already lol

 

[akamaka]

Damn now I want naan bread and it is 1:25 in the morning

x2 hungryyyy

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis tail are good with bat generally

 

[Justcrazy]

Ambitious slog , missed.

 

[Mamoon]

Ish Sodhi = the new Ashwin

 

[Justcrazy]

245/8

 

[Aman]

Ish proving how moronic it was to send Southee in ahead of him.

We were effectively 8 down the moment Southee walked onto the pitch.

 

[akamaka]

sodhi be fine with the bat.

 

[Aman]

Ish Sodhi = the new Ashwin

As in?

Better with bat than ball?

 

[NZcricketfan]

Kiwis tail are good with bat generally

Geoff Allots 77 ball duck in 1999 was something else

[Sam18696]

Imran Khan

 

[Justcrazy]

Imran khan brought back.

 

[Mr Consistent]

imran khan on

 

[Mamoon]

As in?

Better with bat than ball?

Reminds me of him quite a bit. Clearly a good find for NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah denying Rahat his 5 fer

 

[Justcrazy]

Will Rahat come from other end ?

 

[Fastandfurious]

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] [MENTION=18398]IAJ[/MENTION] You guys see the new ball swing from Imran? He's swinging it miles.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

mix the bowlers ....... good idea

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] [MENTION=18398]IAJ[/MENTION] You guys see the new ball swing from Imran? He's swinging it miles.

really?

 

[Justcrazy]

Rameez makes many out of context statements.

 

[Yatoo]

Watling is currently the best wicket keeper batsmen in tests.
Better than DE cock, ramdin, Sarfaraz, Dhoni

 

[NZcricketfan]

Rameez makes many out of context statements.

He should be renamed captain Obvious. Everything he says is already assumed by everyone.

 

[Justcrazy]

really?

It has swung a bit , not miles though.

 

[Sam18696]

No wickets have fallen since I opened the TV

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

good sign for our bowling attack ....... i think we will see a completely different bowling attack for tests and odi's.
Imran khan and rahat ali for tests
wahab and irfan for odis.
junaid probably where required.
umar gul in odis.

 

[Mamoon]

Watling is currently the best wicket keeper batsmen in tests.
Better than DE cock, ramdin, Sarfaraz, Dhoni

Been saying this for a while but people don't follow NZ in Tests much.

Sarfraz is of the caliber of Ramdin and Mushfiqur Rahim but Pakpassion has made him look like the next Gilchrist.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zulfi to continue.

 

[Mamoon]

No wickets have fallen since I opened the TV

You don't open TV, you switch/turn it on.

 

[Fastandfurious]

C'mon, give Yasir a go.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sodhi irritating Pakistan here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sodhi slogs , four

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Justcrazy]

250 up for kiwis.

 

[Justcrazy]

No wickets have fallen since I opened the TV

Shut it off and follow the forum .[emoji109]

 

[Space Cat]

C'mon, give Yasir a go.

Yes please, even the tailenders scored off him at will.

 

[Yatoo]

Been saying this for a while but people don't follow NZ in Tests much.

Sarfraz is of the caliber of Ramdin and Mushfiqur Rahim but Pakpassion has made him look like the next Gilchrist.

Sarfaraz is better than ramdin, can become better than Dhoni in long run in tests.
Only de cock can best watling. Watling has scored in tough conditions. Now he is proving himself in subcontinent.

 

[Aman]

If Pakistan do decide to bat again, how many sessions do you think they'll bat? 1 or 2?

 

[Justcrazy]

Commentrators not in favour of follow on

 

[PTI tsunami]

Got to say this khan guy is pathetic

 

[OZGOD]

If Pakistan do decide to bat again, how many sessions do you think they'll bat? 1 or 2?

I'm guessing 2. 1 sessions is barely time to give their bowlers a rest. If they bat again you will have to survive 4 sessions I reckon

 

[Justcrazy]

Edged and four.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I don't think Imran Khan could handle the follow on. Already struggling to hit 130 k's

 

[akamaka]

sodhi really annoying.

 

[OZGOD]

Got to say this khan guy is pathetic

So he went from being a super find to pathetic in the space of 2 weeks?

 

[Aman]

NZ have shown at times how good this pitch is to bat on, then they've thrown it away

 

[NZcricketfan]

Edged and four.

You call that an edge?

 

[Aman]

So he went from being a super find to pathetic in the space of 2 weeks?

Nah, he was never rated.

 

[PTI tsunami]

I always thought he wasn't good enough

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan do decide to bat again, how many sessions do you think they'll bat? 1 or 2?

Two.

 

[OZGOD]

Watling is currently the best wicket keeper batsmen in tests.
Better than DE cock, ramdin, Sarfaraz, Dhoni

He scored 40 against Pakistan and he's now the best?

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

change required. bring on rahat and hafeez.

 

[Aman]

I don't think Imran Khan could handle the follow on. Already struggling to hit 130 k's

Even A/R Anderson was clocking top speeds of 135 after 2 days and I'm pretty sure he's been used more often than Imran

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

12 overs to go.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch will remain like this for next 10 days.

 

[Yatoo]

He scored 40 against Pakistan and he's now the best?

He has couple of good centuries.
One against India was in a crunch situation I guess.

 

[Aman]

Every run Ish scores is making me get more and more annoyed at McCullum.

 

[Mr Consistent]

rubbish ball

 

[Fastandfurious]

Zulfiqar is rubbish and will be taken to the cleaners against a proper spin playing side.

 

[Ahson8]

Why isn't Rahat bowling ?

 

[akamaka]

Every run Ish scores is making me get more and more annoyed at McCullum.

your golden boys will get another chance don't worry

 

[Aman]

The pitch will remain like this for next 10 days.

It's not a road - PPers on day 1 and 2

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

oh come on ........

 

[Justcrazy]

This two are irritating now.

 

[Aman]

your golden boys will get another chance don't worry

I'm annoyed that he sent Southee ahead of Ish.

 

[Aman]

This two are irritating now.

Need us to gift you another 2 wickets?

 

[akamaka]

Zulfiqar is rubbish and will be taken to the cleaners against a proper spin playing side.

So he picks up 2 wickets for 79 and he becomes rubbish?
