Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test - Day 2 | Wellington | 4/12/09

[Sparhawk]

Gul's looking a little more comfortable

 

[Juggernaut]

Style wise, Kami is more pleasing on the eye.

All style no substance? Well sometimes its true for Kami

 

[Inswinger]

Remember a year or so ago where everyone was after Kamran Akmal's head on these forums?

That was for his keeping. Not batting.

 

[Sparhawk]

Style wise, Kami is more pleasing on the eye.

Even Gul is more pleasing to the eye than Dhoni

 

[Juggernaut]

Even Gul is more pleasing to the eye than Dhoni

Calm down son

 

[germanboy]

i wondered why did you have to even ask this?

lol

2 batein ho sakti hai:

First: Ek to wo khud aise fazul stroke khel raha hai aj kal is leye!
Second: Ke Umar Gul uske group ka banda hai aur Malik Khush huwa hoga dekh kar ke haan out hone ki koshish kar raha hai!

 

[godzilla]

does anybody else agree that this seems like a pretty good batting track, and the should really have hit 350ish on it?

 

[tdigi]

New Ball taken...I smell a wicket

this is pakistan where talking about. We're playing with two batsman in the whole team.

 

[germanboy]

New Ball Taken

 

[Seen Sheen]

Very nice batting conditions today .. not good for us considering we will be bowling most of the day.

but commentators are of the view that ball is doing a bit, and I can see that aswell..so its just the attacking stuff from :akmal.He is making conditions look like a lot better..

Thats what we said on Day 1 - esp when our Jokeners saw off the new ball

 

[Sparhawk]

Calm down son

No i really mean it, well at least to me eye

 

[Oxy]

231-7

Quick single - well run

 

[Juggernaut]

No i really mean it, well at least to me eye

Do you wear glasses/spectacles ?

 

[12thMan]

Martin takes the new ball without first balling a ball with old ball to warm up. Bad move

Akmal races to 66
Pakistan 231/7 (81.0 ov)

 

[tdigi]

lol @ commentators...

 

[Romali_rotti]

I feel Nz will be bowled out for around 150-180.... Pak should win this provided there is no panic attacks or brain farts..

 

[Oxy]

Krazy shot Kami!

 

[Seen Sheen]

The shot was on..:akmal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A big whack by Kami not connected otherwise would've landed on orbit

 

[tdigi]

Akmal closing his eyes and swinging the bat....easy boy

 

[12thMan]

Pak should win this provided there is no panic attacks or brain farts..

That is where the games have been played this year

 

[Sparhawk]

Do you wear glasses/spectacles ?

What are you a fan of dhoni? hes got one of the ugliest batting styles ever

 

[pak4life]

Go Waqar!!

 

[Inswinger]

Waqar needs to be a coach!!!!

 

[Oxy]

We really need Waqar on the coaching staff kicking some lazy butts!

What authority!

 

[Gollum]

Waqar show'em whose the boss!!!

[GLORY OF '92]

Waqar laying down the law to misbah. Respect.

 

[Sparhawk]

Gul looks at ease now, i think hes gonna start playing some shots soon

 

[Juggernaut]

I wanna see more Waqar finger wagging

 

[Inswinger]

"Moral victory will come"
Waqar

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gul just left a delivery for the first time in his career ...

 

[12thMan]

Current partnership 40 runs, 13.1 overs, RR: 3.03 (Kamran Akmal 33, Umar Gul 7)
Pakistan 233/7 (82.1 ov)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Crashed by Gul for 4

[Oxy]

Vut a shut by the Gul!

[Sparhawk]

There you go, Gul frees his arms and picks up a 444444

 

[don1990]

cracking shot by gul 444444444444

 

[luvthegame]

drop Malik please. He is useless. Pakistan needs to groom young talent. Play fawad in the next text.

 

[saj001]

4444 by gulla

 

[Deewana Mastana]

45 mins till lunch folks!

 

[Inswinger]

Vettori took a lot of speed of that one and it still raced to the ropes.

 

[Oxy]

Cheapskates AJ Sports cant even supply the team with sweaters - its old Slazenger kit!

 

[tdigi]

What did Waqar say...I missed it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

237-7

 

[luvthegame]

[pak4life]

Gul trying his best to attract a bat sponsor

 

[Inswinger]

Very corny commentary!

 

[germanboy]

Umar Gul is just playing like Gayle at Adelaide

 

[Sparhawk]

Terrible running, unbelievable

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Clubbed down the ground by Kami for a couple

WTH they only get a single thinking it'll go for a six

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide and hit for 4 by GUL

 

[Seen Sheen]

Shot by Gul

 

[don1990]

4444 again by gul......

 

[daghetto]

umar guls looks like hes now settled in. this partnerships gonna go for a while now. hopefully 280+ on the scoreboard unless kamran gets out

 

[Inswinger]

One run of that? Should have been 3!!!

 

[namak]

I vote that we open with Kamran Akmal and Umar Gul in the next innings. They seem to be handling the new ball quite nicely

 

[Inswinger]

Too wide.

 

[Inswinger]

He middled that one!

 

[Sparhawk]

NZ must be hating this, especially Vettori getting a taste of his own medicine

 

[Oxy]

Free advertisement for them!

Not really - the Slazenger logos are covered up by tape

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Another single..

 

[luvthegame]

good shot gulll.....another 4....

 

[Oxy]

Shocking runnng

Lucky

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Akmal survives... was a run out chance..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

300 being put into bat would be a good effort. 270-280 is good from the position we were in.

Stupid running that.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Risky singles

 

[Inswinger]

Kiwis are really on their heels now. Should have been out.

 

[don1990]

4444 more by gul....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

by GUL

What a partnership of 50!

 

[Oxy]

Cut for 4 by Gul
