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

[Lords]

Too slow, fire up guys.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Inside edge?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Out it is.

 

[hamzie]

Azhar what a champ

 

[Amjid Javed]

No really aggresive intent here from Kiwis just seem to be intent on batting slowly and trying to get up to 400-450

 

[JibranAnsari]

8 down.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar what a champ

He needes to make up for two dropped catches.

 

[dhump]

He needes to make up for two dropped catches.

Too late to make up for that by a wicket, should come up with a big 100 now.

 

[Saurav]

Azhar Ali looking better than regular spinners

 

[JibranAnsari]

350 up.

Pakistani bats must be trembling now.

 

[Asif321]

pakistan need to bat with better SR if they want to have any chance of win

 

[the Great Khan]

if we don't bat quickly this may meander to a draw. Don't think NZ have the skill to bat but they could bowl well..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another one goes down but was hit very hard.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wow ..some googly.. sharp spin.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar ali already has more varieties than yasir shah.

 

[imshally81]

Why presist with Azhar now...???

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Azhar ali already has more varieties than yasir shah.

Azhar ali started his career as a legspinner.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Some pie throwing by zulfikar.

 

[TNA]

Any views on Azhar Ali Mr.Warne?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully we can get the kiwis out for less then 400 now

 

[saiyan0312]

Rahat is back.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

400 on the cards

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

With toothless rahat on attack they are getting 400.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

unless there is an inside edge he is not getting a wicket.

 

[saiyan0312]

Tea!!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

If Pakistan bats well, it is heading for a draw.

 

[imshally81]

Draw or NZ win...

 

[saiyan0312]

Tea is over and the last session starts

 

[saiyan0312]

Azhar ali to continue

 

[Lords]

NZ wants to frustrate Pakistan. Too slow of a batting.

 

[m.shah]

irritating runs

 

[aukhan]

Any views on Azhar Ali Mr.Warne?

MASHALLAH

 

[Shafi]

Misbah is really pathetic captain!! Why carry on with Rahat and Azhar. Bring Ehsan and Yasir.

 

[m.shah]

44444

 

[Sakss]

Misbah is really pathetic captain!! Why carry on with Rahat and Azhar. Bring Ehsan and Yasir.

He heard you

 

[Mamoon]

An ordinary effort by Pakistan.

 

[akamaka]

lol at this NZ batting line up 150 overs still not at 400

 

[desi_launda]

 

[adarsh_bang]

Poor from Sauthee. Why would he do that? he was getting good support from Sodi.
Should've gotten to 400 first before playing that ugly hoick.

Now if Boult gets out before 400, Pakistan will have a huge psychological advantage. Poor application from him.
This is why he isn't a Number 7 batter.

 

[DanishJamil]

If am not wrong SL tried to do same in 1st Inning against Pak in Sharjah where we chased it down :-/

 

[desi_launda]

Will be interesting to see if Saudi and Boult take any wickets with the new ball in this match.Were ineffective in the last one.

 

[akamaka]

Will be interesting to see if Saudi and Boult take any wickets with the new ball in this match.Were ineffective in the last one.

Ball will definitely swing this time of day.

 

[desi_launda]

indian blood Sodhi

 

[adarsh_bang]

These Kiwis bat deep. Even Boult has a fifty to his name! Got to miss Chris Martin here.

 

[Jabo]

Decent total

still think NZ get rid of our openers today

 

[akamaka]

Well done pakistan

 

[dhump]

Poor effort from Pakistan, if they show same quality of cricket in batting then we are up for an interesting test.

Otherwise its a draw.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

pick of the bowlers ... azhar ali.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

when does pakistan start?

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Shan's FC career isnt very promising

 

[Justcrazy]

This game likely to be a draw.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

what should be the deal
go after the bowlers or mimic like NZ

 

[Justcrazy]

Taufeeq has poor record at dubai.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to bat whole day three and see.how pitch behaves.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both openers off the mark.

 

[Yatoo]

Taufeeq 200 coming up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis would hope for early wickets here

 

[Ahson8]

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful cover drive by Taufiq .

 

[Justcrazy]

Taufiq has issues with spinners.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good short ball , almost had him .

 

[Justcrazy]

Southee getting good bounce here.

 

[saiyan0312]

Good bounce for southee. little to no swing but is getting some bopunce.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Taufiq has issues with spinners.

hahahahaha & NZ spinners....

 

[Justcrazy]

10/0

Solid start.

 

[miandadrules]

Wishing all the best to Kiwis to score a 600 odd total by tea and test Pak's batting and Misbah's captaincy.
Want to see some hard fought battles, some excitement factor and some twists in the game.

Showing your true colours.

 

[Justcrazy]

Loud appeal , not out.

Down the leg.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

lucky

 

[saiyan0312]

They are getting some swing as well now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Rameez saying Boycott batted for Two hrs in nets

 

[Justcrazy]

Masood looks good so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Beauty by Southee. Beaten .

 

[saiyan0312]

Ohh good one., beat the bat

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

NZ are working on Shan's leg side play - waiting for him to play across the line or pop a catch to short leg.

 

[Asif321]

how is Shaan looking

 

[Justcrazy]

This two need to survive the day.

 

[Aman]

Bowling well but it's pointless if we don't get the results.

 

[Justcrazy]

hahahahaha & NZ spinners....

Taufiq has technical issues with spin if he survives you will find out.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

how is Shaan looking

Typical early in the innings caution. Nothing alarming

 

[Justcrazy]

Spin introduced.
