Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test - Day 1 | Wellington | 3/12/09

[JeeraBlade]

29 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

These guys are batting well, but they aren't the most entertaining batsmen, with strike rates of 30 and 36.

 

[ali_ed2006]

I have a feeling that either Misbah or Malik will come in at # 3 instead of Umar Akmal..since the new ball has been seen through..

 

[Garuda]

Watch India lose the match sir

Ofcouse with your well wishes. Thank you.

 

[insaaniyat]

Am I hearing pakistani fan here or individual fan. Guys they are playing for Pakistan. We complain about our team not being united, looks like this whole board is the same way.

 

[insaaniyat]

Ofcouse with your well wishes. Thank you.

Well at least I found one Indian fan who is polite

 

[imshally81]

come on guyz

 

[JeeraBlade]

ppl should try to give benefit of doubt rather than searching for insult in everything. I am not watching it live and the score looks really low.

So I would always give a person that benefit that doubting an insult targeted. Expect the same from wise ones.

Why ppl are soooo touchy and sensitive that they can't even take a joke about an Indian travesty pitch ---- and take that as a personal insult?

 

[iZeeshan]

Honestly, it's fine now, but can we really make this approach of going at 2 an over every single test match?

 

[Genghis]

Must be just about lunch ... anyone know how long to go?

 

[JeeraBlade]

30 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[Garuda]

Well at least I found one Indian fan who is polite

Politeness is always like a mirror.

Anyway, Signing off for now. Breakfast time.

 

[tauseefm]

come on guyz

bro, they are still playing pretty fast as compare to Shoaib Mohamad and Asif Mujtaba.

 

[insaaniyat]

Let's us hope they take us beyond 100 at least

 

[insaaniyat]

30 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

cut and paste. How is your discussion going with Dr. Khan?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

run rate: 1.92.

The openers can afford to pick it up a bit now that 30 overs have been bowled already and the ball is not doing much.

 

[Garuda]

Why ppl are soooo touchy and sensitive that they can't even take a joke about an Indian travesty pitch ---- and take that as a personal insult?

Boss, then you donno me much.

Mine was a serious question as I am not watching live. You can answer the question and then add the joke when you joke next time . Alright?

See ya later.

 

[imshally81]

bro, they are still playing pretty fast as compare to Shoaib Mohamad and Asif Mujtaba.

hahahaha

 

[JeeraBlade]

31 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[imshally81]

good fielding safe the boundry

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

It is starting to get a little windy.

 

[imshally81]

another piece of good fielding

 

[JeeraBlade]

See ya later.

rooothay ho tum, tum ko ......

 

[jalex382]

Must be just about lunch ... anyone know how long to go?

There will be no lunch as far as i know, i think there will be tea in about 30 minutes.

 

[shaaan]

well ..so far so good....you just hope that they keep their concentration going for some more time now

 

[imshally81]

need some boundries here
otherwise match gonna draw

 

[JeeraBlade]

How is your discussion going with Dr. Khan?

I have decided to hold the discussion on close doors so that I can charge the spectators like you.

 

[JeeraBlade]

32 overs and our openers are still there in these horrible batting conditions!

 

[Amir]

Vettori is useless. He needs to develop a doosra or drop him. Can't even get a tailender out.

 

[imshally81]

yes he is gone in his style
butt gone

 

[tauseefm]

Brain fart !!!!

 

[insaaniyat]

out

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Butt scores his average of 29.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

The short ball..... Our nemesis. Terrible shot that.

 

[imshally81]

akmal jr innnnnn
shame on moyo misbah and malik

 

[sali]

Salman was playing so well but he played a typical Salman shot to get out.

 

[Desi]

So many people just complain and wish failure among our own players, it isn't fun by any means. Why not just enjoy the cricket that's going on becaues it's not often we are able to enjoy test cricket. Put politics and biased hatred aside for a bit, it's not like anyone is benefiting.

 

[Genghis]

Butt's gone!!!

 

[Amir]

Oh no! Wrong guy. Why didnt Butt call for a run and just run into Farhat making him retire hurt.

 

[imshally81]

wow excellent avg of 102

 

[tauseefm]

akmal jr innnnnn
shame on moyo misbah and malik

We call it "Qurbani ka bakra"

 

[shaaan]

well ..so far so good....you just hope that they keep their concentration going for some more time now

Darn it...I guess I just jinxed it

 

[imshally81]

akmal survive

 

[Desi]

but seriously, why is umar akmal batting at #3

 

[insaaniyat]

Why mess with his position? Why did they send him at 3?

 

[Genghis]

Akmal could really make an even greater name for himself here. He is good enough to score at #3 and with the ball 32 overs old, he's come in at a good time.

 

[luvthegame]

butt threw away his wicket...so typical..but a good start..now they need to consolidate...

 

[tauseefm]

Why mess with his position? Why did they send him at 3?

cuz Moyo, Malik and Misbah don't have balls to come out early and face the music

 

[insaaniyat]

cuz Moyo, Malik and Misbah don't have balls to come out early and face the music

This what is wrong with our captain. I hope he does good here too.

 

[JeeraBlade]

cuz Moyo, Malik and Misbah don't have balls to come out early and face the music

this!

 

[iZeeshan]

Would love to see an Akmal100 at number 3. Would look very good.

 

[imshally81]

akmal in trouble

 

[JeeraBlade]

Turning a in-form batsman into a out-of-form batsman ---- only in Pakistan!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Umar is not comfortable at Number three position.

 

[imshally81]

idamaaad gone

 

[Seen Sheen]

What pathetic shot from Farhat..

 

[Cheguvera]

Umar Akmal getting exposed big time...

 

[tauseefm]

i am happyYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. we get the safarishi..

 

[sali]

collaps coming

 

[uzy99]

Out

 

[Romali_rotti]

Ok time for U.Akmal to hit a 100.

 

[Amir]

OUT! Bahahahahaha Told you khalid mian. He is an idiot. There is a slip and he is trying to cut it late.

 

[imshally81]

i m not surprised if akmal get out early

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

And so... the collapse begins...

 

[iZeeshan]

So much for a 60/0 start.

Collapse here we come?

NO U Akmal to the rescue

 

[saj001]

oue hoye hoye hoye

damaad gya

 

[sali]

All the knifes will be out for Inti and MoYo if Akmal fails at no 3. he was doing well at no 5.

 

[iafzal]

Balay Balay Farhat gone

 

[Dare2Dream]

Akmal could really make an even greater name for himself here. He is good enough to score at #3 and with the ball 32 overs old, he's come in at a good time.

Yeah, he is talented enough to become solid in this difficult spot and now Yousef is there with him at the crease

 

[161]

Butt gets out on his average of 29
Farhat out on his average of 32

 

[imshally81]

moyo goneeee

 

[JeeraBlade]

DAMN. Its 3 o clock.

I'm off to bed. Got an interview tomorrow.

Hopefully when I check the score tomorrow Farhat is out for under 50, Sallu Mian has a decent score and Umar Akmal has a century

Damad is out --- too bad your are not here to enjoy the moment!

 

[saj001]

moyo gone

 

[pakistani]

moyo comes and goes

 

[tauseefm]

chalo g, our start batsman is out..

 

[hashmist]

i am happyYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. we get the safarishi..

How can you be happy at Pak losing a wkt?

 

[Genghis]

Both openers gone ... but they did give us 60 runs we weren't expecting and played out 30+ overs so still not too bad.

 

[amjad_ali]

oooo antoher collapse in the making!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Told you guys I was not looking forward to this.

 

[iZeeshan]

ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

WTH is this!? We get a 50/0 start, and then both the openers blow themselves up and them Moyo comes in and bombs out for the first ball! UNfrikkingBELIEVABLE!
