Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test | Nov 17-21, 2014 | Dubai | Day 3

[Arsal_AK]

If we declare from behind or Nz get us out for say another 80 runs, we have a real shot at getting a win.

Declare as soon as both of Sarfraz and Asad get out.

Last 3 overs 29 runs , look how to bat. Azhar needs to be shown this.

 

[hussain.r97]

Good positivity in the closing stages

 

[saeedhk]

Azhar is a bit too slow even for test cricket.Needs to show a bit of positivity.

Once again, this is why Azhar should open. He's not a #3 bat.

 

[JibranAnsari]

wow



this sarfraz guy has such a positive impact on the other batsman also.

That is the point.

Shafiq wants to hit his 50 today I think.

He's two blows away

 

[hussain.r97]

Southee back on

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sarfaraz technique >>>>>>> Overrated Shafiq

 

[saeedhk]

That is the point.

Yes.I understand that it's alright to be slow in tests but you should not have a strike rate of a mere 32 after facing 250+ balls.Show some intent.

chokkka

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Classy from Sir Faraz

 

[Asif321]

defence is good

 

[m.shah]

50 partnership up

 

[Asif321]

3 overs to go

 

[Gollum]

Match hangs in the balance. One wicket could swing it either way.

Damian: "Sarfraz reminds me a lot of an in
form Matt Prior. Ticks along at a good rate
whilst bullying, annoying and frustrating the
fielding team. Great find."

 

[Asif321]

lovely by Shafiq

 

[Red Devil]

Classy shot.

 

[hussain.r97]

Lovely shot Showing his full range here! Back foot punch, then a cover drive!

 

[hussain.r97]

Last 35 balls, RR has been 7+

 

[Asif321]

When Sarfraz bats he looks like Viv richards when he keeps he looks like ramiz raja : Ramiz raja

 

[aukhan]

This is good from Shafiq

An Emirati officer once looked at my passport and said, " why do you have Messi's photo here". I had to show him my identification mark and cricket photos to convince him otherwise. Yasir Shah.

lol

 

[Bullet Drive]

Cost us big time.

 

[JibranAnsari]

extremely rubbish from asad...

him and misbah should be apprehended.

 

[Big Mac]

It's OK though, his strike rate was 60 was it was a fantastic innings right?

 

[Justcrazy]

This is a good test , tough fight

 

[Asif321]

huge pressure

 

[m.shah]

Nooo

 

[shaaik]

Well this is how he plays ... Should have been a bit more circumspect here ... The demise of this partnership means we will be chasing the game from now on for next 2 days ... New Zealand has really done well here ...

This doenst looking good for Pakistan. Sir Faraz sucks batting with the tail

 

[Bullet Drive]

Asad Shafiq ruined the day.

That was our day if he didnt play that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

320-330 all out.

 

[Asif321]

last over

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarfaraz takes single.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Asad ruined the day.

 

[Big Mac]

Asad Shafiq ruined the day.

Nah bro, Azhar need to watch that innings and take notes on how to play remember?

 

[Asif321]

only if Shafiq had stayed

 

[Sam18696]

Why does Pak lose whenever I don't feel like watching their games?

 

[pakistani pride]

A mistake doesnt make an other fault look good. Azhar bats way too slow thats a fact. Had he made a 100 different story but he should open the innings.

big blunder as usual to select 2 nobodies to open.

 

[Arsal_AK]

He does. A SR of 33 after playing for that long is pathetic.

And for all that extra effort he could only add 30 more runs than Asad.

Really?? He is the best when it comes to batting with the tail in the team after YK.

 

[Big Mac]

Pakistan would be in a better situation if Shafiq had scored 20 less runs today but was not out.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

320-330 all out.

Dude what's your issue and what team are you supporting? Or are you only a Umar Akmal supporter?

Pakistan is playing right now have some respect...since yesterday I am seeing negative posts from you...first it was Pakistan will be bowling after tea umm WRONG...now u r guessing again instead of rooting for ur team

This same team just won 3 tests in a row...let them finish playing first and then whine

As for the match state, we could have batted a bit faster today, another 40 runs today could have evened out things a bit

Nonetheless it is a matter of batting time now, if we can survive another session and get around 70 runs, it will really force NZ to set a target within 2 sessions. I don't see any team getting rolled over on this pitch. Would be an interesting day 5 for sure.

 

[Asif321]

Azhar is too slow . he could have scored bit more had he been bit positive

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistan would be in a better situation if Shafiq had scored 20 less runs today but was not out.

We need balance. Why can't they score runs at a strike rate of around 50 like most good batsmen?

 

[Mamoon]

Completely untimely dismissal. Poor stuff.

Sarfraz needs to get a big one here.
