Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test - Day 3 | Wellington | 5/12/09

[cricketpassion]

Pakistan lead by 229 runs with 8 wickets in hand .I think target of 350 to 400 will enough .Good luck Pakistan

I think match start half an hour earlier today .2230 Uk time

 

[SpiritOf1903]

should, if we get there.

we need to steadily pile the runs, and seamers will do the rest.

 

[dhump]

Pakistan must bat complete day and then give them chance to bat before lunch tomorrow if we survive.

 

[tahaqureshi]

If we were any other team right now, we would be almost guaranteed a win.

Our batsmen however have become the most "bayhis" in their careers barring a few such as Umar Akmal and our surprisingly resilient tail!

 

[Lethal]

They should take their time and score the runs.

InshaALLAH Pakistan should win.

Is match starting 30 min early today too?
- got the answer. It is in OP but not sure

 

[AZ]

Epic Fail on the part of Ten Sports yesterday, started the broadcast at the scheduled time instead of 30 mins early...hope they don't do that today!

it is starting 30 min early. I good match in the making . Hope we win Insha-Allah. I don't see us losing from this position. I hope I am right

 

[daghetto]

so how many hours to go till this match starts?

 

[12thMan]

40 minutes to start

 

[MIG]

I expect us to be bowled out by the 200 mark - still a lot of runs for NZ to get

I think will make century today Inshallah.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

90% chance of rain on Sunday. Hopefully not the whole day but still something we will have to consider. We need to bat positively as we can't afford to take too much time out off the game.

Regardless of the score -- 150/200 more runs, we should declare at tea -- just because of the weather situation on Sunday.

 

[*syed59*]

Salam everyone..

Yes its a crucial day today. We need to get that lead upto atleast 370-400. As its known, it might rain on the last day, therefore we must try to be positive, score quick and throw it to the bowlers for the rest.

Tbh, im really only interested in watching Yousuf's and U Akmal's batting, maybe Kamran's as well.. Misbah and Malik at the crease are so.....you know..arghhh!!

 

[mindless slogging]

Look forward to Umar Akmal batting today.

InshAllah he will do well.

 

[germanboy]

Salam,

how are you guys? Hope fine InschAllah same here.

I have got Zee Cinema i can watch cricket back on TV yahoo!!!!

and the good thing is Zee Cinema will show it from start 10:30GMT.

I hope for Ten Sports viewers also the same thing.

 

[giri26]

Anything over 300 should be tough for Kiwis. They arent a very good batting side. With Pak's bowling I expect a swift finish to the game. Only weather can save NZ now.

 

[germanboy]

Tu mera dil tu meri JAAN nice song, is on Zee Cinema

 

[iHammad]

22 minutes left.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Dont want to say what score we should aim for as we always manage to dissapoint ourselves

BUT its crucial we bat for as long as possible - plenty of time left in the match so we should not be too concerned with run rate

Would like Umar to score big again

 

[giri26]

I think Pak batsmen need to be aggresive here, scoring at around 3 runs per over to maintain the pressure in the Kiwis. The longer Pakistan bat, the more secure the Kiwis will feel. The reason being bad weather predicted on day 5. So I guess with the bowling Pak have, I would be confident of reducing the NZ to well below 300 in their second essay. so Pak should aim for a target of 350-375 and put the kiwis to bat. The game will be over day 4 tea max.

[DotCom]

11 minutes left and Ten Sports have nothing so far?

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Pakistan should bat deep. Bat NZ out of the game and hopefully the rain stays away to leave the bowlers enough time to bottle the Kiwis over.

 

[iHammad]

still 13min. to go
