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

[Poison]

Impressive pace this from Adil, he's put some weight on and looks sharper.

 

[ares1000]

He seems to have good accuracy. Not too sharp 135-138 seems his 'normal' range.

Wish him luck.

 

[insurge]

Brilliant accuracy from Adil in his first over on comeback!

 

[FreeBird]

No swing, no seam, no movement no nothing!!
What kinda new ball attack is this?

 

[haroon91]

He looks a bit quicker from last time i watched him bowl

 

[hussain.r97]

Ehsan bowling at a good pace! And people said he trundles!
Great line, length, control, pace. Looking good
Not a lot of movement on this track today.

 

[shaaik]

Not bad a start by Ehsan... I expect a lot from him with the new ball...

Good first over from Ehsan Adil, right on the money..needs to stay on that line and length..Rahat Ali needs to keep the pressure from the other end

 

[hussain.r97]

Ehsan looks quicker than Rahat. Also getting good carry to the keeper.

 

[mussu-100]

He is 127-128 kph trundler who will be largely in-effective with older ball, If Mccullum survives first 5-10 overs Adil will be taken to the cleaners

Bowling 135KPH+ currently.

 

[Yatoo]

What speed is Ehsan Bowling?

 

[Mir jibran]

How can a name "hur" (hoor, parri) bhi "Bhai" ?

sorry didn't noticed :ahmed

 

[FreeBird]

Nice :4

 

[IAJ]

Well he used to bowl around 127 kph, so if he can maintain 135+ with his accurate line and length he will be good. .
Excellent athlete, fielder and can hold the bat as well.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

You give chances to Taufeeq and Masood, but not to Harris. What a Joker )

 

[IAJ]

What speed is Ehsan Bowling?

around 135-138 kph

 

[haroon91]

Rahat bowling too short..should pitch it up

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Rahat needs to ball a little fuller

 

[ares1000]

135-138k is ok speed, not special. Like 84-86 mph. Both guys are bowling at that speed. With that speed you have to have some skills - you wont beat guys for pace bowling mid 80s.

 

[Yatoo]

sorry didn't noticed :ahmed

So is it behen ji then
:cersei

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis will get to bowl at some point

I wish him 200% luck. I am just stating the reality of his speed. Average pace for intl pace bowler.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ehsan looks quicker than Rahat. Also getting good carry to the keeper.

Rahat is the worst bowler to represent Pakistan. Sami was even miles better than this mediocre

 

[Justcrazy]

Steady start by kiwis so far 8 / 0

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Its his second test match man, he will only improve from here on...give him a chance and stop complaining

The guy averages 19.61 in domestic, he knows what he is doing.

 

[Fastandfurious]

You can just tell Rahat's cricketing IQ is about 2. Has no idea what he's doing. Just runs in and bowls.

That's good pace for Test cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Adil needs to be given more opportunity , he can be valuable asset .

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Beautiful shot by McCullum, ondrive 4

There is no movement of the seam thus far

The next ball, thats the line..good bounce there for Adil

Where is the complaint?

I said at 84-86 you need skills as its not enough speed to beat dudes for pace. That is (a) NOT a complaint and (b) a fact of cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good shot

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ehsan bowling almost at 140

 

[hussain.r97]

Trundling in at 140kph :ehsan

 

[ares1000]

Ehsan bowling almost at 140

Yup, 139.7.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowlers need to use new ball better , they need to pitch the further up

How many bowlers in world cricket constantly ball 90mph+? Its clear that he is not that type of bowler who relies on pace, he has a different skill set..let him apply it and see how it goes. Looks more in the McGrath, Philander, and Asif mould of bowler.

Pace is good, but need control. He is near about 136-138kph..for his skill set that is enough, a little nibble of the seam in or out could be really tricky to play for a batsmen

 

[hussain.r97]

Ehsan actually looks like he knows what he's doing. Rahat just runs in and bowls

 

[Fastandfurious]

135k+ is good enough with the bounce he gets. Prodding line and length, swinging enough and will seam some eventually. These type of bowlers are lethal on helpful pitches.

No one expects him to be 90. I just placed 84-86 in its context. Now 140k is a benchmark pace for an opening bowler to be 'fast'. At fast medium obviously bhai will need skills of seam/swing et al.

Have some chai and relax. We are rooting for the same guys.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Rahat needs to ball fuller to give the ball a chance to swing.

Not taking advantage of the new ball. Needs to create pressure with Adil.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Lol Babar running.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good start by kiwis

17 / 0

But no one was claiming he is 'fast' he is moving the ball a little, seems like this pitch is completely not conducive to fast bowling

Thanks bhai, I prefer coffee though

 

[Aman]

My word what a boring wicket...........

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Nice bounce by Ehsan thus far, good line and length bowling

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan wasting the new ball here

 

[Fastandfurious]

Don't ruin it Rahat.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Don't ruin it Rahat.

lol, SIX by McCullum...don't know why he is bowling short, wasting the new ball

 

[Fastandfurious]

hehehehe

 

[ares1000]

!

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahat hammered

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Mediocre Ali getting dispatched

 

[ares1000]

Is that Kiwi guy the only dude in the crowd?

 

[Xoib]

Pakistan wasting the new ball here

seriously? this is a patta even an opening attack of Steyn and Akram would struggle to pick a wicket here.

 

[Mir jibran]

when will Junaid and wahab return
need to drop this rahat ali

 

[ares1000]

I guess in a few overs the spinners will be on.

 

[Buffet]

What a sad sight! All empty chairs in all sections.

 

[ares1000]

What a sad sight! All empty chairs in all sections.

Tis a work day.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Ehsan builds pressure and Rahat just bloody ruins it on the first ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor bowling , too short , not giving ball a chance to swing.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Ehsan Adil in England, SA, Aus, and NZL will be much more effective

 

[Buffet]

Tis a work day.

Well, I wasn't asking for full crowd but it looks totally empty. Even 3-4K crowd in one section would have looked good.

 

[Buffet]

Adil looks a good prospect to me. Bowling in a good channel.

 

[Fastandfurious]

Freaken Babar 40 year old.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Adil should have got chance ahead of in the previous tests as well. Guy looks threatening

 

[Fastandfurious]

Bloody easy catch.

 

[ares1000]

Ehsan Adil in England, SA, Aus, and NZL will be much more effective

He is accurate. If he can seam/swing/cut the thing then yes, he could be a handful in helpful conditions.

 

[razabbas]

Rahat runs and just bowl without thinking while ehsan is using his brain and trying to set the batsman


That looks plumb

 

[Electron]

Let's see how Pakistan perform after losing the toss for a change. I hope UAE doesn't turn out to be "win the toss, win the match" kinda place.

 

[razabbas]

[GreenKnightRises]

Height is an issue

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need wickets here , come on !!!

 

[razabbas]

Seems outside leg stump

 

[Aman]

That looked out to me.

 

[Aman]

A bit high.

 

[Poison]

It's gonna be umpires call but ffs you should be giving that out as an umpire.

 

[razabbas]

umpires call

 

[ares1000]

Maybe high?

 

[Aman]

Adil looks a good bowler.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Another umpire review gone against us...that was a beaut of a delivery
