The great thing about the review system is how often Rudi is being shown to be wrong. Hopefully it'll convince him to retire from umpiring.

well to be fair to rudi, that was a difficult one to give out. sounded like it hit the bat and the pad
 
Another collapse from Pakistan.

Poor batting card despite Umar's and MoYo's batting.
 
Can someone please tell Ian Smith that making 400 in a fourth innings is not easy? Least of all by a team that didn't make 100 in the first.

Let him enjoy it.

It'll make the pain the feel after even better for us. :D
 
What on earth man, we just have to collapse one way or another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every inning same old story, whether we be in a good position or bad, our order just breaks down like a pack of card.

hahaha how bad must Asif feel to have Kaneria come out ahead of him

Kaneria I think has the slightly higher batting average though doesn't he?

True :)
 
NZ commentators always have a nice sense of humour.

Pakistan would be annoyed with this batting collapse though it really shouldn't matter.

It amazes me that Pakistanis can still be pissed, even in this commanding position.
 
Pakistan has a very very very sorry Scorecard Apart From Yousuf and Umar Akmal. They batted CRAP!
 
All out

Alright New Zealand good luck chasing this :)))
 
Expected a bit more from pakistan, but our lower order really went for peanuts today.
 
our batting really sucks. Take Akmal brothers and Yousef out, and we have nothing on the board. That's is not a good sign

This is a test match and batting conditions are not bad. they should be able to once score 350. Collaps again.
 
Yeah irrespective of the result, it's troubling that we really struggle to get past 250 in every innings. OZ will eat us alive at this rate.
 
the score only looks good, because NZ bundled out on 99 in the first innings. But anyway the bright side is lead of 404 is a winning total

yes. If we struggled againt this NZ attacj without Bond, what will happen in Australia
 
Well you never know its tough chance for newzealand but its shame that pakistan have given them a chance thats shambolic display of batting
 
Oh well. Decent total. I wanted the new ball for Aamer and Asif, it should still be decent. They should do some damage with it.

I know we are in a really good position, but we "collapsed" again. Regardless of the score and position, we need to get rid of this ugly pathetic habit. In last 3 years this constant habit has cost us so many games that it just isn't funny!! :pissed:

Very true. I dont understand why Malik and Salman Butt are still playing. Whats the point of flying faisal iqbal and fawad alam to every country we go to if they dont even get a chance to play
 
From 197/3 to 239 all out. Another day another collaps. What the hell...
 
Why would you want bhanja to play?

how bout we introduce Baber Azam for the last test? :D

We need Myk.
 
It pains me to say this, but farhat has actually done a respectable job. Got a 30 odd score in each innings and lasted long enough to give a decent start for the middle order. Then again my expectations are pretty low due to the overall standard of current pakistani openers.

It was the batting of the lower order which went wrong today.

Anyway Pakistan's in a very good position to clinch the win, which is great.

It is a match winning total..but stranger things can happen in cricket especially since Newzealand has 7 sessions to get that total
 
i am still kind of pissed but cant wait for our bowling. Especially Aamer and Asif
