Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test | Nov 17-21, 2014 | Dubai | Day 4

[saiyan0312]

And match is on and rahat ali to open.

 

[Yatoo]

We missed the English record of 6 declarations in a row :vaughan

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on boys.

After 6 overs if we have no wickets, bring on Babar.

 

[mumtaz]

Considering that about ~140 overs remain in the match and the two teams are almost level, Pakistan have about ~70 overs to bowl NZ out if they want to have a crack at a win. Conversely, NZ would only feel safe once they have played out 70 overs. They can potentially leave Pakistan with around 60 overs to save the match.

 

[saiyan0312]

edged and through third man

 

[saiyan0312]

more

 

[saiyan0312]

Much better than the last one. much better

 

[JibranAnsari]

Positive start by NZ.

 

[saiyan0312]

13 from the over... that was a rubbish ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

NZs only chance is to score in excess of 5 runs per over rest of the overs today and our only chance is to get them out under 200 today.

 

[saiyan0312]

Ehsan adil to bowl.

 

[Asif321]

will Nz set target and look for win

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bring Babar on.

 

[saiyan0312]

Maiden over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bowling too short.

 

[Justcrazy]

Draw is on here.

 

[Justcrazy]

will Nz set target and look for win

¶they need to go at 4/ over to do that.

 

[saiyan0312]

ohh fishing and play and a miss for latham.

 

[saiyan0312]

Appeal but not given

 

[saiyan0312]

smashed by muccullum. ODI series has started for him/D

 

[saiyan0312]

139 kph. Good speed there

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Rant: the entire stadium is empty and the handful of Pakistanis in the stadium are placed at side on angle (deep extra cover). Few families and Kiwi supporters in front of the wicket. Plus obnoxious bouncers all around making people sit where they don't want to. Talk about sucking atmosphere. Grrr...

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarafaraz innings saved Pakistan here.

 

[saiyan0312]

Zulfiqar is on.

 

[imshally81]

Spin in Action !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis will look to bat out the day here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Pakistan spinners create Something special ?

 

[saiyan0312]

by latham.

 

[Lords]

NZ trying to regain the momentum

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be looking for early wickets here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Latham is a great find for kiwis.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cricinfo is slow today ,

 

[TNA]

Cricinfo is slow today ,

switch to cricbuzz.com

they are usually spot on with the updates.

 

[hur rizvi]

Latham looks like he'll never get out

 

[JibranAnsari]

wicket boyses

 

[Asif321]

Nz going well

 

[JibranAnsari]

NZ surely have some target in their mind.

 

[Big Mac]

oooooh, Babar making things happen now

 

[saiyan0312]

This is getting out of hand here

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

almost 2wice in that over

 

[JibranAnsari]

Younis khan should take a step forward.

 

[Big Mac]

This is getting out of hand here

Huh? Relax yaar

 

[saiyan0312]

reviewed but super man effort by shafiq.

 

[JibranAnsari]

given out.

 

[hussain.r97]

What a catch!! That will make up for his wicket if its out!

 

[saiyan0312]

Huh? Relax yaar

I want a win. Well we have a wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

forearm?

 

[hussain.r97]

Not out. Good effort

 

[saiyan0312]

This si tight. benefit of doubt?

 

[Big Mac]

I can't tell if that's hit the cuff or not but the umpire gave it out and I'm not sure if there is enough to overturn it

 

[JibranAnsari]

 

[saiyan0312]

Zoom was needed here

 

[hussain.r97]

Too much doubt. May have brushed the glove. I think they should stick with their decision.

 

[akamaka]

Should go with umpires decision then?

 

[Big Mac]

That angle from behind the stumps makes me think it's not out but it isn't 100% conclusive.

 

[akamaka]

yes, thankyou umpires

 

[JibranAnsari]

yay!

 

[hussain.r97]

The ball deviates as it passes the glove, therefore it must have brushed it...

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Yasir Shah is bowling well. With speed and turn.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Here we go !!!!!!

 

[Big Mac]

YEEESSSSSSS

I think Latham is unlucky because I don't think he gloved it but it was too tight to be 100% sure

 

[hussain.r97]

What a catch that was!! I forgive Asad for throwing his wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

man of steel gets out

 

[saiyan0312]

Gone... no benefit of doubt

 

[imshally81]

Yes

 

[saiyan0312]

We needed latham to get out. time to run through them.

 

[Aman]

Rubbish call, no deviation or benefit of the doubt.

 

[imshally81]

From Cricinfo...

.....They are looking at different angles but this is hard to tell. Not out for me, but only by a whisker. Not enough evidence to change the decision is the conclusion.. Latham has to go..Unlucky in my book, but I am not the umpire

Biased Commentary

 

[Aman]

Where's snicko and hotspot?

 

[saiyan0312]

Maybe the umpire thought that shafiqs super man effort deserved a wicket.

 

[90MPH]

That's was a lucky wicket for PAK.

Too much doubt.

 

[Big Mac]

Rubbish call, no deviation or benefit of the doubt.

benefit of the doubt is with the umpire, it needs to be 100% certain in order to be overturned. I don't think it brushed his glove but you cannot say for certain. Unlucky for Latham

 

[hussain.r97]

Where's snicko and hotspot?

The broadcaster (Ten Sports) didn't include it in their package

 

[Aman]

Latham reviewed it straight away, he must have known he didn't glove it.

 

[90MPH]

The world is out to get Pakistan remember.

Bitter comments

 

[saiyan0312]

From Cricinfo...


Some Biased Commentary

Cant say biased as many might have called it different. He is simply giving his opinion.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Where are the people who were crying about the lbw decision in the first innings lol. Suddenly when a 50/50 decision goes in favour of Pakistan it is a fair system

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

The toys are out of the pram - its just one wicket

 

[Aman]

From Cricinfo...


Some Biased Commentary

No one allowed to have an opinion? I'm sure had it been in Pakistan's favor you would have brought it up as evidence

 

[saiyan0312]

these guys are choking slowly.
