Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st Test | Nov 9-13, 2014 | Abu Dhabi | Day 4

[battler]

Mccullum going for the win

 

[90MPH]

Rahat being Cannon Fodder again - people we're comparing him with Asif, Rambo should be fired from the combox

He's too inconsistent.

 

[saiyan0312]

Exactly, that's the spirit.

However if NZ somehow manage to pull a draw I will be the first to congratulate them. It will be some achievement.

If they draw this then they deserve beastly accolades as it will be one of the best draws in the game.

 

[Aman]

10 bucks McCullum chops on.

 

[desi_launda]

Just 461 to win

Our draw against India was pretty epic imo

 

[Aman]

Just 461 to win

Just?

 

[JibranAnsari]

The real rahat ali has turned up.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I think our highest score chasing was about 450 but still lost by about 100 runs

 

[desi_launda]

Just?

Another triple from McCullum and you're through :dravid

 

[Justcrazy]

Maccullum looking good here

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

If anyone can pull this off, its BM and Ross Taylor. We cannot be complacent here These two are practically the best clutch players coming from Oceania atm.

 

[Adil_94]

McCullum to get a triple ton. [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] to become the King of PP.

 

[saiyan0312]

Our draw against India was pretty epic imo

the triple hundred was legendary. [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] signature. We all thought it was over but what a comeback.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Still waiting for OZGOD to swim across that river. Don't want Aussies breaking promises now.

 

[ramizq1]

Rahat Ali has almost given away as many runs in his 2 overs as he did in 15-16 overs yesterday.

 

[Aman]

If anyone can pull this off, its BM and Ross Taylor. We cannot be complacent here These two are practically the best clutch players coming from Oceania atm.

It's the pacers, wait for the spinners to come on and the fieldsman to surround the bat. Trust me, you'll feel a lot more confident when that happens.

 

[Aman]

And out lol

 

[Aman]

lol how pointless.

 

[Big Boss]

Why Rahat Ali not able to swing on a "Highway"?

 

[Aman]

Didn't he hit that?

 

[Ahson8]

Given out LBW.
McCullum reviews it

 

[Aman]

Idk probably not.

 

[Aman]

He's hit that? Ramiz what are you watching?..

 

[Justcrazy]

22 / 0

 

[saiyan0312]

Still waiting for OZGOD to swim across that river. Don't want Aussies breaking promises now.

yes it wasnt convict it was ozgod.

 

[starchild]

Is ramiz blind?! honestly...

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Ramiz should just retire now - Spewing utter tripe day in day out

 

[NZcricketfan]

yes it wasnt convict it was ozgod.

They are all the same to me

 

[AFG_Brit]

i didn't see and inside edge there?

 

[NZcricketfan]

Little inside edge? It was massive

 

[Adil_94]

I think NZ will get to 100-0 then collapse and be all out for 250-280

 

[hussain.r97]

Lovely shot by Latham!

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Well. Rahat back to the usual boundary balls after that amazing first innings.

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=133865]hussain.r97[/MENTION] be quiet, you're bad luck for us

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good stuff by the kiwis.

Rahat ali making up for his 6 maidens in a row

 

[Aman]

How many overs is McCullum going to last against Zulfi?

Surround the bat and wait for him to nick to a fieldsman around the bat or slips.

 

[hussain.r97]

[MENTION=133865]hussain.r97[/MENTION] be quiet, you're bad luck for us

Latham will get out this over #antijinx

 

[battler]

Rahat going at 8 rpo

 

[Aman]

We need to hide Taylor from Zulfi, somehow...

 

[Aman]

Becomes a different ball game once the fieldsman surround you.

 

[Aman]

Missed stumping that.

 

[Shafi]

You never know with New Zealand. Misbah should let another 100 to score and be in the safe side. 110/120 overs to bowl opposition out are plenty in 5th day wicket.

 

[Big Boss]

Rahat going at 8 rpo

 

[hur rizvi]

You never know with New Zealand. Misbah should let another 100 to score and be in the safe side. 110/120 overs to bowl opposition out are plenty in 5th day wicket.

If NZ win this or draw this then they will really deserve it, no point in adding another 100 or even 50 runs

 

[razabbas]

imran khan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Somehow i think it has been a brilliant declaration by Misbah. The pitch might be flat even tomorrow. Had Pakistan batted on and set a target of 550, there was a slight chance that NZ would have forced a draw. He has tempted them to have a go at the target. Aggressive batting = more chances = wickets.

 

[hur rizvi]

Brilliant counter attack, McCullum is class

 

[Bullet Drive]

Imran Khan is rubbish.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Incoming New Zealand special. Now that there is no chance of winning they will bat amazingly.

 

[saiyan0312]

pacers getting smashed. imrans width is wrong. gives him room for the drive.

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] can you buy a +10 boost for our game against the Dynamites???

I would like to buy Learn to bowl like the greats. Price: 12 points. Benefit: +10 bowling skill. for the round 11 FC match against the Dynamites.

[razabbas]

The only thing i liked about imran khan was his celebration otherwise his bowling is totaly garbage

 

[hur rizvi]

If NZ can continue this onslaught for 25-30 overs our bowlers can lose the plot because they are very inexperience

 

[Xoib]

nah you want the batsman to be prodding and defending vs spin Misbah has been overconfident imo.

 

[NZcricketfan]

The only thing i liked about imran khan was his celebration otherwise his bowling is totaly garbage

And he has a cool name

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should have declared at tea but oh well. We will still win.

 

[battler]

I think it's time to bring in yasir shah

 

[ramizq1]

Relax people. This is just like Warner going all guns blazing. As soon as 1-2 wickets fall, they'll be under pressure and fold.

 

[hur rizvi]

nah you want the batsman to be prodding and defending vs spin Misbah has been overconfident imo.

Declaring at 480 is not over confidence, Nothing wrong with declaration This pitch is extreme flat and misbah has given his bowlers extra time to bowl NZ out, if NZ chase this or draw this they will deserve all the accolades for Amazing 4th innings batting

 

[dhump]

Too brave a declaration for Pakistani standard interesting to see how this results.

 

[hur rizvi]

I think it's time to bring in yasir shah

He received a phainta in 1st innings

 

[Nikhil_cric]

nah you want the batsman to be prodding and defending vs spin Misbah has been overconfident imo.

Is it turning a lot though? Either way 480 is far too much to ask of any ATG batting lineup let alone this one.

 

[hur rizvi]

Too brave a declaration for Pakistani standard interesting to see how this results.

Declaring at 480 is not brave it is a sensible declaration if NZ chase this they deserve to go down in History

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah and Waqar are tactical failures.

Waqar is a good coach, he's respected by the players and has a commanding personality and the team always plays vibrant cricket in his tenure but he has very little understanding of the game.

 

[imshally81]

From Cricinfo :

Bilal: "Pakistan done big mistake, they should have made 100 runs more. Now it is very difficult for Pakistan to win" I shall take this moment to remind all viewers, Pakistan fans in particular, that New Zealand's score at this point is 47 for 0. They need a further 433 runs to win."

 

[Asif321]

NZ will chase it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Will be fun if NZ pile up 230 today

PP will be a mess.

 

[DRS]

It was baffling to see Misbah declaring the innings before letting the score go beyond a 500 mark, which definitely would have served as a psycological barrier to New Zealand batsmen. Seeing the quick 50 they have been able score, it wouldnt be hard to chase down the target given that they play slin well.

 

[saiyan0312]

Yasir shah on.

 

[hur rizvi]

Giving enough time to bolers to take 10 wickets on this pitch was vital, not a tactical blunder by any stretch of imagination

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] can you buy that boost asap, Bazaar will be closing in a few hrs.

 

[DRS]

Yasir shah is in.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yes Yasir!!

 

[hur rizvi]

NZ will chase it

If they chase it, credit to them

I don't think anyone should fault declaration here

 

[razabbas]

maybe this will be the first session which will not belong to us ?

 

[saiyan0312]

That was smashed in the air and three runs. 50 partnership

 

[razabbas]

If they chase it, credit to them

I don't think anyone should fault declaration here

Yup 480 is a pretty good score and it will be record chase too.

Bowlers have to do the job now

 

[Bullet Drive]

50-0

 

[razabbas]

mccullum sa to dar lag raha ha
