Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test | Nov 17-21, 2014 | Dubai | Day 1

[Aman]

80 overs' day today?

Crap, I was reading that as 89

 

[Space Cat]

Not the shot when you have 5 balls left till stumps Corey!

Tighten up.

10 overs and 5 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat with another over.

 

[Aman]

10 overs and 5 balls.

Blame my poor eyesight on that

Have the TV on the background while I'm on the comp.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan needs someone to produce a miracle spell

 

[Bullet Drive]

Why they finishing so early

 

[Bullet Drive]

Congrats to Latham on scoring a ton vs our B attack

 

[Aman]

Why they finishing so early

They aren't, I read it as 89 overs.

 

[Space Cat]

Pakistan have their reviews back now also.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan have done reasonably well here. They need to prize out another wicket or two and then win the morning session as well. NZ are heavily dependent on top 4 and so far only latham has come good.

 

[Justcrazy]

233/3

 

[Bullet Drive]

They aren't, I read it as 89 overs.

Why u say 1 wiket b4 stumps

 

[Aman]

Why u say 1 wiket b4 stumps

I read it as 89 overs

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adil looks very good.

 

[Space Cat]

Not sure we will get the full 90. Lights going.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis have long batting.

 

[Space Cat]

Slow over rate from Pakistan.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on lads. 2 more!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adil is Asif-esque

 

[ammar93]

Great bowling by Adil.

 

[Aman]

Adil is Asif-esque

B level bowling line up

 

[akamaka]

Ball is swinging in evening time. Cmon 1 more tonight.

 

[Bilal7]

Latham has played very well, he's a real find. If we can get him before the close of play, we would have done well. I don't expect Anderson, Latham or the tail to last long tomorrow.

350-370 would be an okay target for Pakistan.

 

[Aman]

Adil keeps dropping it short, needs to consistently pitch it up if he's going to build pressure and make use of the new ball.

 

[Arsal_AK]

This is why I wanted Adil in the team.

A bowler with brains. He is going to be lethal overseas. Has the pace, height and can move it around too. Just needs to work on his consistency.

 

[Aman]

Latham has played very well, he's a real find. If we can get him before the close of play, we would have done well. I don't expect Anderson, Latham or the tail to last long tomorrow.

350-370 would be an okay target for Pakistan.

Watling and Neesham are part of the tail?

 

[Space Cat]

Pakistan just feeding Latham easy singles to get Anderson on strike.

 

[Space Cat]

They are basicly playing in artificial light now.

 

[Aman]

They are basicly playing in artificial light now.

It's going to cost us a wicket or two

 

[Space Cat]

Rahat wasting the new ball a bit here. Spray can bowling.

 

[Aman]

Don't jinx us.

 

[Bilal7]

Watling and Neesham are part of the tail?

I wrote Latham instead of Neesham. I do expect Watling to be the only hurdle, which is why I didn't mention him in that post.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Adil is too slow to cause much trouble.

 

[Aman]

C'mon go off already..

 

[Bilal7]

I see that the overhyped Williamson keeps failing though.

 

[Bilal7]

Yasir is bowling shorter than he should. The batsmen have time to read the turn and pick him off.

 

[Space Cat]

Surely its too dark now. I can barely see the ball on tv.

 

[Bilal7]

We're turning into the Arsenal of cricket. Players getting injured at every corner.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Zulfikar has been crap today.

 

[Bilal7]

Well-played Kiwis! Especially Latham.

 

[Space Cat]

NZs day well and truely. Not in a position of dominance yet though.

should be looking for around 500 before tea.

 

[Kianig89]

STUMPS- Great day for NZ Pakistan on backfoot Toss indeed plays a huge role here #fact

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great day for the kiwis , they should aim to bat at least till tea tomorrow.

 

[Ahson8]

NewZealand's day but Pakistan still in it.

 

[Aman]

Great day for us.

A day for Antipodes everywhere [MENTION=190]OZGOD[/MENTION] [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

 

[cricket geek]

what are the chances of Latham making a double century ?

 

[Convict]

Great day for us.

A day for Antipodes everywhere [MENTION=190]OZGOD[/MENTION] [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION]

Latham is a good Antipodean just like Russell Crowe.

 

[Aman]

Latham is a good Antipodean just like Russell Crowe.

What are your thoughts of him? Reckon he'd open with Warner in an NZ/Aus XI?

 

[Convict]

What are your thoughts of him? Reckon he'd open with Warner in an NZ/Aus XI?

Need to see more of him to be honest.
