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

[Cheguvera]

Farhat the new Umar Akmal...

 

[Juggernaut]

Kiwis bettered that. 15/6 beat that.

Don't tempt them. Especially with class acts like Farhat, Butt, Malik and Misbah in the team.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

there was no need for that shpag(six) from Farhat, never mind until he doesn't miscues one

 

[Seen Sheen]

any idea match kitne bajhe tak chalega?

22 mins remaining

 

[imshally81]

Six from iDamad

plz use real name of the player
this is the humble request from the moderator

 

[insaaniyat]

smile is back on Waqar's face

 

[ammarz]

openers given us a 50+ start in both innings.
Its as good as it gets under the circumstances. Well Done boys!!

 

[imshally81]

goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Juggernaut]

Farhat opening up now. Should be his ticket out of here.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Not to totally take it away from these 2 BUT even i would score runs with a cusion of 165 runs to start with - BUT sadly i think these runs will cement their spot in the side

 

[Seen Sheen]

No no..wrong batsman got out..

 

[imshally81]

what a way to get out

 

[eViLrAcEr]

chalo bhai kya shot khela hai butt ne

 

[hur rizvi]

Butt goes lets see who comes one down

 

[nazimcricket]

there was no need for that shpag(six) from Farhat, never mind until he doesn't miscues one

200 in front, a bit of slogging is not totally unwarranted. Mind you probably not wise this close to the end of day's play.

 

[tauseefm]

hahahaha poor butt

 

[insaaniyat]

out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

49/1 butt gone.

 

[MIG]

Farhat the new Umar Akmal...

aha - now you are warming up to Farhat

Salman Butt goes to a good quick ball....

49/1 Decent start.

 

[germanboy]

first wicket gone

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ripper from O'Brien. Damn!

Butt gone for 18. Pakistan 49/1

And hello! Moyo coming out at number 3!

 

[Gollum]

Uff Butt!! And he was actually looking good!

 

[coy0607]

when theirs no pressure at all, yousuf shows up at 3

 

[MIG]

Drop your wrists is the first rule of playing short balls.

 

[Cheguvera]

Only pakistani openers can play ugly amateurish/anarri shots...

 

[Juggernaut]

Butt-aaaah.

Didn't make his average.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wow man moyo at No 3

 

[haroonrasheed320]

great bowling that,, Butt goes!!!!!!!!! great bowling O'Brien deserved that, Mr. Butt even I would have missed that

 

[tauseefm]

HAHAHAHAHA guess who came to bat?

 

[Gollum]

Ripper from O'Brien. Damn!

Butt gone for 18. Pakistan 49/1

And hello! Moyo coming out at number 3!

Wah half the team must be itching to come out now!

 

[insaaniyat]

Butt"I scored my average, a good opening stand of 49, what else you want from me"

 

[ali_ed2006]

Mohammad Yousuf in.

 

[imshally81]

wow
moyo in
brave deceision

 

[pak4life]

Butt Sahab could not even manage his feeble test average

 

[hur rizvi]

Yousuf showing courage to bat one down

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Ripper I love fast bowling man missing Akhtar on this track

 

[tauseefm]

Wow man moyo at No 3

ofcourse sanp bhi mer jay aur lathi bhi na totay

 

[insaaniyat]

wow Yousef at # 3. good job captain, thank you

 

[Imy]

That was a great ball. anybody would have got out to that

 

[ammarz]

I spoke too soon lol

 

[Cheguvera]

Drop your wrists is the first rule of playing short balls.

Not exactly he totally botched it while ducking...it wasn't short enough to duck under and then he shouldn't have tried to throw the bat at the ball while ducking at same time...

 

[coy0607]

Butt"I scored my average, a good opening stand of 49, what else you want from me"

honestly if he can keep doing that, against top teams, then no wants anything more

 

[haroonrasheed320]

We needed a night watchmen here some one like Gul or Aamer

 

[salman24]

when theirs no pressure at all, yousuf shows up at 3

People like you will never be happy with anything he does.

 

[hur rizvi]

Ian o brien on fire

 

[imshally81]

good bowling

 

[Juggernaut]

I'm fairly confident that Farhat will also be gone by the time the day ends.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yousuf you clown - i thought the management decided 4 was best for you?

 

[saadjhussain]

yusuf in at 3 now that we have a lead of 200, if it was first innings, we would have seen U Akmal walk in again

 

[imshally81]

we will win inshallah
even pak declare their inningz now

 

[Gollum]

Not such a brave decision. We have a good lead now. But dair aye durust aye

 

[iafzal]

Moyo one down.

make or break

he scores well he will be a hero gets out cheaply we will say so poor decision should have sent a night watch man since only 5-6 overs left

 

[haroonrasheed320]

when theirs no pressure at all, yousuf shows up at 3

common bro this statement isn't required

 

[MIG]

I'm fairly confident that Farhat will also be gone by the time the day ends.

I dont understand this type of attitude.

 

[Juggernaut]

Come on Far-hat.

Hit big. I dare you.

 

[tauseefm]

Yousuf you clown - i thought the management decided 4 was best for you?

politics my bro

 

[kingusama92]

) @ Yousuf walking in at 3.

What is going on?! This was the time to give the youngster a chance to actually score some runs.

I guess the team management forced his hand again

Oh well ... I love watching Yousuf bat.

 

[imshally81]

44444444
excellent shot

 

[Gollum]

Farhat is a sitting duck against Vettori.

 

[ammarz]

Yousuf you clown - i thought the management decided 4 was best for you?

That was for the first inning. and now he fooled the NZ and us too. Inti you Machiavellian master!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

ofcourse sanp bhi mer jay aur lathi bhi na totay

Kisi haal mein khush nahi ho yaar tum log bhi.

 

[Cheguvera]

People need to remember these are third rate seamers, i.e. O'Brian, Tuffey and Martin who are making Pakistani batsmen look ordinary...imagine what Johnson, Lee, Hilfanhaus and Siddle would do to them only an few weeks down the road...

 

[Juggernaut]

I dont understand this type of attitude.

Please refer to one of Amir's quotes in another thread.

I think it was somethig along the lines of ' a short term gain is not worth a long term loss'

 

[iafzal]

Sadly Farhat has been the best opener with the bat in last 4 test innings and that tells how sad our opener situation is

 

[Zaid23]

60 in first inning and 49 in second....these two seems to have booked the ticket to Aus

 

[saadjhussain]

yusuf just proved he can't play under pressure, he sees some cheap runs with a huge lead so decided to come in

 

[imshally81]

moyo off the mark

 

[tauseefm]

Kisi haal mein khush nahi ho yaar tum log bhi.

sure sure ab yehi kehnay ko reh gaya hay ap kay pass. btw u know it too

 

[Seen Sheen]

That was a ripper..

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Survival is the key, are we playing at Perth?

 

[eViLrAcEr]

atleast he didn't send umar

 

[germanboy]

35 runs to Farhat

 

[hur rizvi]

Ian o brien what a spell

 

[Afridi_Fan]

O'Brian bowling dangerously here.

 

[saadjhussain]

yusuf getting hit, i guess he regrets coming in now.

 

[pak4life]

lol yousaf thought easy runs must be regretting the decision now

 

[Juggernaut]

Farhat has 35!

Unbelievable.

 

[Cheguvera]

yusuf getting hit, i guess he regrets coming in now.

Really, he must've told you right from the pitch right about now...

 

[MIG]

Please refer to one of Amir's quotes in another thread.

I think it was somethig along the lines of ' a short term gain is not worth a long term loss'

And here's another quote that you may want to use

Success breeds success

ie - You have to start winning to win consistently - or in other words, success is not a bad thing.


These players need our support and from what I see of Farhat and Butt in this match, I am very happy.

 

[insaaniyat]

I like Yousef's batting no matter how much he scores. He has style, class, and elegance. The best batsman in our team. I hope he does good this time.
