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

[Muzy]

no im just using reverse psychology lol..... like afridi fans wouldnt let go of him even through his bad form he came out of it, i know malik will too but right now hes in the worst form of his life he needs to do alot of hard work now young guns like umar should be an embarasment and eye opener to him

no i havent given up on him, i dont think he should be playing in tests he should have only been tried as an opener and he's lasted far too long to make his poor form go unnoticed i would have preferred if he played in the QEA instead and get his form back for the aus series but that looks highly unlikely that he'l be going

 

[Inswinger]

commentators stopped talking about this match ever since umer got out

The PM is in the house!

 

[adzzy786]

Decleration at lead 450? What do you guys think? Need quick 50.

500 to be on safe side and mentally that seems alot more..

 

[Gollum]

Decleration at lead 450? What do you guys think? Need quick 50.

I would bat until 30 minutes before today's end, so that our bowler could get a short crack at them today.

 

[germanboy]

out malik gone

 

[161]

this partnership is so boring they are talking about obama

 

[azfar wali]

Malik gone

 

[khalil1986]

Decleration at lead 450? What do you guys think? Need quick 50.

yes Malik gone. He is ****

 

[Gollum]

Malik gone...

 

[Lethal]

Wow.

S.Malik your Sh$$e

S.Malik gone to a lolly pop bowler.

 

[hur rizvi]

Malik gets out that might be a blessing for pakistan

 

[Waseem]

Malik GONE!!!
Fortunately/Unfortunately it's probably the end of his test career.

 

[siccric]

Another failure for Malik

Kamran should come and speed things up :akmal

 

[161]

shabash malik

if he gets selected for australia ..

 

[mindless slogging]

Maliks out by a guy that doesn't even bowl regularly.

 

[daghetto]

Out!!!!!yes!!!!!!!!!!!!FiNALLY!!!!

time for kamran now

 

[tauseefm]

YES we got a wicket(NZ Zindabad.. for maliks wicket)

 

[CricketBuff]

Why oh why do we keep playing malik. Bring in Fawwad Alam.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Amazing! Made a dobbler look like lillee.

 

[Cheguvera]

Hopefully last nail in Malik's test career...

 

[PapaBear]

Bye Bye Shoaib Malik, please don't ever come back.....

 

[Gollum]

Can someone remind me when was the last time Malik played a significant inning?

 

[azfar wali]

Bhanja should replace malik in the next test

 

[Lethal]

Kami is the new batsman.

 

[ads101]

Yousuf's Strike rate is gone up. So he is trying to accelerate slowly. Shoaib Malik's Strike rate is 15 omg! I could do better!

Malik needs to stop being selfish and do what's best for the team and take his own wicket by smashing his own stumps with his bat

It's what's best for he team

 

[Inswinger]

Unbelievable. he couldn't score on this pitch and got out to someone who is coming off an injury.

 

[Juggernaut]

Malik gone

Come on Kami. Just get this lead past 400 and it's all good.

 

[adzzy786]

Malik Needs to be DROPPED! Why cant the Pakistan Selectors see that hes so out of form, he needs to go back to domestic cricket!

 

[sali]

Shoib Malik not going to Aus with test team...........wowowowo

Bhanja or Yasir should get a chance in 3rd test

 

[Cheguvera]

Bhanja should replace malik in the next test

Not quite, Fawad would do just fine...

 

[Inswinger]

We need at least 75 more runs.

 

[khalil1986]

Lol it was bloody grant Elliot

 

[Juggernaut]

Malik needs to stop being selfish and do what's best for the team and take his own wicket by smashing his own stumps with his bat

It's what's best for he team :yep:

Great advice.

 

[mindless slogging]

What a superb innings from Umar

In other news the epitome of villainy is in to bat

For a reason. He is a tailender.

 

[Lethal]

Kami gone for a golden duck.

 

[Cheguvera]

Malik Needs to be DROPPED! Why cant the Pakistan Selectors see that hes so out of form, he needs to go back to domestic cricket!

Out of form??? When was he in form????

 

[ads101]

Malik gone

Come on Kami. Just get this lead past 400 and it's all good.

yay
everybody's happy!

that's annoying, kamran got out

 

[ahsanib]

If this doesn't end Malik's test career, nothing will.

 

[azfar wali]

Akmal gone

 

[kingusama92]

Please... can we drop Malik for the next game? Pretty please with cherry on top?

Can't believe he got out to that ball.

 

[90MPH]

End of the line for Shoaib Malik in Test cricket. His technique has just been exposed by a part time a medium trundler.

 

[khalil1986]

Oh oh but still should easily get another 50 runs but momentum is swinging

 

[Gollum]

PM comes and changes the luck for Kiwis!

 

[adzzy786]

Sh**

 

[daghetto]

lol................out?again?

 

[mindless slogging]

Elliot on a hatrick now.

 

[Waseem]

For some reason i feel sorry for Malik and have always supported him but i never really like him as a test batsman. I was hoping that he will get out soon in this game very early otherwise a 50 or 60 would have probably given him licence to stay for another few games.

Good for Pakistan that he got out very early.

Elliott on hattrick now
Akmal gone first ball.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

What? That was a good ball though. Just another 100 runs lads.

 

[kingusama92]

Wow Elliot on a hat trick. Mini collapse.

 

[Lethal]

Elliot on a hat-trick.

Aamer is the new batsman.

 

[ahmed16]

Kami gone )

whos this world class bowler im watching!!!!

 

[umarf76]

Fastest Fifties
Ball Faced

24 JH Kallis
26 Shahid Afridi
26 Mohammad Ashraful
27 Yousuf Youhana
28 EAV Williams
28 IT Botham
29 B Yardley
29 TG Southee
30 N Kapil Dev
30 TM Dilshan
31 A Ranatunga
31 WJ Cronje
32 IVA Richards
32 IT Botham
32 V Sehwag

I thought Richards scored the fastest hundred in 43 balls? If so did he make his second fifity in 11 balls? Cant be right!

 

[siccric]

Sorry for posting this mods but if anyone has a link that might not be continiously pausing, please PM it to me

Thanks so much

 

[Juggernaut]

Kami gone.

 

[CricketBuff]

Not to worry guys. We have enough of a lead !!!

 

[Big Mac]

Wow.

S.Malik your Sh$$e

S.Malik gone to a lolly pop bowler.

and Akmal can't last a single delivery to the same bowler, what does that say?

 

[90MPH]

Kami gone too. Going too hard at the ball too early in his innings.

 

[sali]

We always loose wkts in pairs. I was wondering why was it different today. I m glad now that we are keeping up with our triditions.

 

[Foozee]

ahh shoaib malik the great... he's useless as a duck at test level... fawad Alam is better

 

[Juggernaut]

Another collapse anyone?

 

[shabbu1]

Goodbye Malik, please don't return.

 

[hur rizvi]

Oh we need 25 more runs!!!!!!

 

[Lethal]

PM doesn't know what he is saying with regards to the dismissal's.

 

[khalil1986]

I thought Richards scored the fastest hundred in 43 balls? If so did he make his second fifity in 11 balls? Cant be right!

I thought it was 55

 

[daghetto]

as long as we have yousuf in, the tailenders can defend for looooooooooooong partnerships so its good

 

[RumiNYC]

shoot...wt hell

 

[kingusama92]

I thought Richards scored the fastest hundred in 43 balls? If so did he make his second fifity in 11 balls? Cant be right!

Nope Richards took 56 balls to get his hundred not 43.

 

[adzzy786]

I thought Richards scored the fastest hundred in 43 balls? If so did he make his second fifity in 11 balls? Cant be right!

If you make a hundred. Its not classed as a fifity.

 

[Inswinger]

PM comes and changes the luck for Kiwis!

Or Elliot is using his brain and bowled it full.

 

[adzzy786]

OMG.. We need another 100 runs.

 

[khalil1986]

Another collapse anyone?

We still got a decent defendable score

 

[hur rizvi]

PM looking like a lucky charm for newzealand


And pakistan can they give another guy like Alok kapali a hattrick???

 

[161]

NZ PM giving them good luck.

Damn we need to fight back with Zardari

 

[legslip]

Out of form??? When was he in form????

[Juggernaut]

All of a sudden the Kiwi's think they can win this. Have they forgotten 99 ao?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We will win this unless someone plays an astounding innings ie Taylor. Hopefully the last we see off malik in tests.

 

[germanboy]

Highest fourth innings totals

1.England 654/5
2.New Zealand 451
3.India 445
4.New Zealand 440
5.New Zealand 431

 

[Lethal]

and Akmal can't last a single delivery to the same bowler, what does that say?

Slightly better ball.

Maybe the lolly pop bowler was over the top.

But S.Malik is seriously crap. Akmal is more consistent that too in pressure situations. His performances are much better than S.Malik who is just a mere passenger.

 

[Cheguvera]

Kami breaks hearts more often then he plays a match saving or winning innings...

 

[azfar wali]

Elliot dosen't get the hattrick
