[Mamoon]

The resident delusional PPers still gunning for a win lol.

When it is NZ you can never count out anything.

 

[pakistani pride]

1 - 0 up into third test is ok.

 

[Mamoon]

1 - 0 up into third test is ok.

Who lacks brain cells now? Did my fear(s) come true or not or is there something else now?

 

[Arsal_AK]

Still boggles your mind why Misbah and Azhar were batting ahead of YK,Sarfraz,Asad in this situation.

Both of them are clearly not good enough in such situations. Every day is not Sarjah nor is every captain Mathews.

 

[Aman]

Boult, Southee and Ish/Anderson/ McCullum should bowl out the remaining overs.

Craig can get lost.

I'd still keep him in the side for the next match, but only because he's been good with the bat for us.

Neesham OUT, Wagner IN.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Well there was another test not long ago when mamoon was saying the same and we won.

Nature is always hell bent on proving mamoon wrong and mostly its successful. I hope it is this time again.

We will not win this Test.

We will not win the World Cup.

We will be ranked 5th/6th again soon.

We will not beat India in the UAE.

Babar is past his prime.

Bring this up when the time comes. I'm putting my neck on the line again for your sake.

 

[Mamoon]

#believeinSir

The only thing I'm believing in right now is that we are cowards.

 

[bash1975]

If they don't go for it they more likely to collapse

 

[Sam18696]

Misbah's captaincy was below par in this match

 

[Sam18696]

The only thing I'm believing in right now is that we are cowards.

Chill boy. Stop being a bitter old man.

 

[Mamoon]

Chill boy. Stop being a bitter old man.

I just turned 23.

 

[saiyan0312]

... just need 50 more of these.

 

[Sam18696]

I just turned 23.

And yet you act like you're 70 or something

 

[Mamoon]

And yet you act like you're 70 or something

Pakistan cricket has permanently deranged me. If I wasn't obsessed with cricket I'd be in a much better mental state now.

 

[saiyan0312]

Neesham on. Medium pace to face

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

And yet you act like you're 70 or something

it would be a great fun on PP if somehow pak win, wrath against Mamoon would be epic.

 

[khalil1986]

Hopefully this will now be a draw and we can come back hard in next match.

 

[MRSN]

lol Asad Shafiq tuk tukking now..forget about win guys. They are just incapable of batting at a decent strike rate.

 

[khalil1986]

it would be a great fun on PP if somehow pak win, wrath against Mamoon would be epic.

Not enough overs left, won't happen.

 

[saiyan0312]

soghi to bowl

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis should aim for a fifty here.

 

[akamaka]

We missed such a great opportunity , 140 off 28 overs totally possible if we had kept wickets in hand.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sodhi bowling well here.

 

[saiyan0312]

rubbish bowl.

 

[Justcrazy]

Short ball , pulled away by Younis for

 

[Arsal_AK]

YK.

 

[Justcrazy]

25 more overs left

 

[OZGOD]

Boult, Southee and Ish/Anderson/ McCullum should bowl out the remaining overs.

Craig can get lost.

I'd still keep him in the side for the next match, but only because he's been good with the bat for us.

Neesham OUT, Wagner IN.

You better pray you win the toss. I don't think you can win the next match unless you win the toss. If you win the toss you have a great chance. Had you batted a bit better, and bowled a bit better, you could have easily won this Test.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis would hope for revese here

 

[Arsal_AK]

We will not win this Test.

We will not win the World Cup.

We will be ranked 5th/6th again soon.

We will not beat India in the UAE.

Babar is past his prime.

1,2,5 yes.

3,4 no especially 3.

Same goes for us. If we had feilded well we would have won this test.

 

[Yossarian]

25 more overs left

Max 17 or 18 overs in the time remaining.

 

[Arsal_AK]

1,2,5 yes.

3,4 no especially 3.

I meant 4.

We are not losing to India.

 

[Justcrazy]

Short ball , failed to get through.

 

[saiyan0312]

Another shot saved... shafiq missing out on a few dollies

 

[imshally81]

Pak required only 138 runs.. and a Miracle

 

[Bullet Drive]

What is Shafiq doing?

 

[Justcrazy]

23 overs left.

 

[Justcrazy]

Boult on , kiwis need a wicket immediately , time running out for them.

 

[TNA]

What is Shafiq doing?

What Misbah would be doing if he was at the crease.

 

[Yossarian]

23 overs left.

1 hr 10 max. ie 16 to 17 overs max.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Only Mark Craig can force a result now.

 

[imshally81]

Missing Afridi... Anyone

 

[Bullet Drive]

Oh well. Just hope YK can score a ton

 

[Justcrazy]

Third test would be really interesting.

 

[imshally81]

Only Mark Craig can force a result now.

or Sarfaraz

 

[Justcrazy]

Only Mark Craig can force a result now.

No , pacers are key.[emoji106]

 

[Bullet Drive]

YK should bat vs spinner. Shafiq has misseed out on like 20 runs

 

[imshally81]

Oh well. Just hope YK can score a ton

Bhai Phaley 50 to honey dho ...

 

[Justcrazy]

Taufiq looks annoyed

 

[Mamoon]

Shafiq is doing what Misbah ordered him to do, while Younis is using this opportunity to have some fun.

Nothing more to it, we had 0 intention of winning this game.

 

[Kianig89]

So an exciting draw is on cards

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should have chased this tbh.

Azhar, Taufeeq to be held accountable.

 

[hamzie]

oh taufeeq chup kar kai bait ja
dont even try to analyse the game

 

[Arsal_AK]

No , pacers are key.[emoji106]

He means for us.

 

[Sam18696]

Welp Mamoon sahab is right. No win. It's gonna be a draw.

 

[saiyan0312]

3 runs and partnership is over 50.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 52 runs

 

[Sam18696]

Ouch

 

[saiyan0312]

poor ball and younis smashes it into latham... OUCH!

 

[Shafi]

Miss opportunity!!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq has been awful all test.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis have saved a lot of runs here.

 

[hamzie]

why is shafiq being a baby and apologizing

 

[Kianig89]

This is test cricket not some pyjama format Pakistan have fought hard to earn this draw

 

[Arsal_AK]

Shafiq missing out on dollies.

 

[Mamoon]

What disappointed me most in this Test is we didn't try to force the issue once NZ put on a big total and simply hoped that they would self-destruct and we would pounce.

Winning this game because a bonus not the objective.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Younis 39 not out

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq has missed out on about 30 runs today due to a negative mindset.

 

[saiyan0312]

!!! byes. Boy do we need them.

 

[Bullet Drive]

What disappointed me most in this Test is we didn't try to force the initiative once NZ put on a big total and simply hoped that they would self-destruct and we would pounce.

Winning this game because a bonus not the objective.

Whine whine whine all game long.

 

[Kianig89]

Shafiq is a better player than hyped Shan

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

why is shafiq being a baby and apologizing

are you serious

 

[hamzie]

made up for the missed opportunity there

 

[hamzie]

are you serious

yes
he should look at him and say maybe you shouldnt field there
like a man

 

[Yossarian]

Should have chased this tbh.

Azhar, Taufeeq to be held accountable.

No way. Remember the latest close of play time is 17:20.
The theoretical 72 overs available was too optimistic in terms of bowling over rates and time remaining. More likely around 65 overs max. Even less if wickets fell and/or NZ had the quicks bowling and/or NZ decided to slow the over rate down even more.
