Pakistan v New Zealand | 2nd Test | Nov 17-21, 2014 | Dubai | Day 5

[Space Cat]

I think the lead is enough now. Maybe McCullum wants 250 plus or just to waste more time.

 

[Mamoon]

But mamoon predicted yasir would get a sixfer or a fifer here when he got corey out.

Indeed I did.

 

[Mamoon]

What a piece of junk Babar is.

 

[saiyan0312]

Where the hell was zulfi standing there

 

[Asif321]

zulfi messes it up again

 

[Bullet Drive]

But mamoon predicted yasir would get a sixfer or a fifer here when he got corey out.

He says that so he can say 'oh I was correct look' and if he was incorrect he woulda said Yasir is rubbish

 

[Xoib]

Yasir 2-9 today. Thank you Misbah.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Where was he standing

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zulfi bowling uselessly

 

[Mamoon]

It would have been a little more useful if the wickets would have come earlier. Now its proving to be an average boosting exercise.

 

[saiyan0312]

smashing southee

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Martin Crowe would probably have 30 hundreds if he got to play in UAE all the time.

he's had enough of chances in Indian,Pakistan and SL flat pitches. he has only 2 centuries there

Pak started to play in UAE from only 4 years back.

So overall a poor excuse to complain UAE pitches

 

[Mamoon]

Babar 'second best left-arm orthodox after Herath'

Shakib and Jadeja wipe the floor with this 40 year old.

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

I would drop zulfi from team only for his fielding alone no matter how good a bowler he is, such a fielder can cost you matches.

 

[badsha001]

wt f is old man doing

 

[saiyan0312]

three in a row!!!! what is this!

 

[Asif321]

my god they going for 300

 

[Space Cat]

LMAO Southee never messes around.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Can they make a lead of 300+

 

[NZcricketfan]

three in a row!!!! what is this!

This is Tim Southee. Fails 9/10 times and then one day the stars align

 

[Juansar_07]

Babar what a waste of a fielder he is

 

[Bullet Drive]

Always said he is overrated.

 

[Savak]

Babar is extremely dumb, he knows what southee is going to do and still puts it in the same spot.

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Can't remember a more lethargic cricket player in recent memory like babar...only in Pakistan

 

[Bullet Drive]

You said that yourself you fool

 

[akamaka]

damn thats some clean striking.

 

[Xoib]

It would have been a little more useful if the wickets would have come earlier. Now its proving to be an average boosting exercise.

Not Yasir's fault that he was givin just two overs.

 

[Shafi]

Very poor bowling by Babar!!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

lack of crowd is causing the difficulty to find the ball

 

[AFG_Brit]

fastest 50 for southee anyone?

 

[OZGOD]

This is Tim Southee. Fails 9/10 times and then one day the stars align

This is the perfect setting for Southee. Just throw the bat around like a tailend slogger and add like 20 or 30 runs to the total.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Zulfi is a pure cannon fodder [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Asif321]

this over might have take victory of pakistan out of equation

 

[hur rizvi]

Boom Boom Southee

We would never go for chase

Only 2 results possible: NZ win and Draw

 

[Mamoon]

You said that yourself you fool

Wow you have completely lost it I have been calling for his exclusion from the very first day of the Australian series.

Show me where I said that he's the second best?

Either you are a troll or have less IQ than Umar Akmal.

 

[saiyan0312]

babar gone and declare... Muccullum says no WAY we will get ALL OUT!!!

 

[OZGOD]

Declaration comes

 

[akamaka]

Credit to sarfraz for that wicket . Told him to bowl out wide.

 

[Asif321]

wow.brave by brendon . 261 needed

 

[Space Cat]

he's had enough of chances in Indian,Pakistan and SL flat pitches. he has only 2 centuries there

Pak started to play in UAE from only 4 years back.

So overall a poor excuse to complain UAE pitches

I didn't complain. It wasn't not easy to score centuries in NZ in Crowes day. If he got to bat on these pitch every year he would of cashed in.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Declared.............. Can we chase this ?????

 

[amomin]

What would be the chance that Misbah declared with 261 target with 72 overs left? Never

 

[saiyan0312]

This is Tim Southee. Fails 9/10 times and then one day the stars align

From a bowler i will take it.

 

[OZGOD]

Need to score at 3.5. Very winnable if they don't lose wickets early

 

[GreenKnightRises]

260 to get from 72 overs. very gettable

 

[hur rizvi]

Target 261 in 72 overs

We would never even think of chase

Good declaration from McCullum

 

[Bullet Drive]

Zulfi and Taufeeq cost us.

 

[Asif321]

yep it was Sarfaraz telling him baahir karo .

 

[saiyan0312]

261 from 72. The real fun begins now.

 

[akamaka]

Would've had a great chance if Hafeez and Shehzad were here.

 

[Savak]

Extremely gettable target unless misbah decides to do a 87 from 57 overs

[Ahson8]

260 isn't that bad. We should go for this.

 

[battler]

261 for pak to win!

 

[hur rizvi]

Need to score at 3.5. Very winnable if they don't lose wickets early

They won try even if they don't lose early wickets

And Given that Taufeeq and Shan are our openers they will be 2 down in no time

 

[guvi]

out ! innings declared, 261 to win, lets see how pakistan is going to chase this total

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Need to score at 3.5. Very winnable if they don't lose wickets early[

Which they will surely

 

[saiyan0312]

Need to score at 3.5. Very winnable if they don't lose wickets early

I hope they play extremely well.

 

[Space Cat]

50 sixes in test cricket already for Southee which is absurd for a guy who bats at 9 or 10.

The last 2 sixes were big hits.

 

[hur rizvi]

Those who think we will go for it are delusional

We would play for a draw for Sure

 

[Xoib]

Misbah has looked for a draw from ball 1 today o way they chase this.

 

[battler]

What a piece of junk Babar is.

have no idea how he got so many wickets against the aussies!
yasir looks quality though!

 

[Rayyman]

Good bowling from spinners even though they got smashed for sixes, Yasir and Babar combined for all 9 wickets. The chase shouldn't be too hard if they can bat normally maybe they'll get it.

 

[Space Cat]

Nice Carrot left out by McCullum. He always goes for the win if he can.

However i think the bad light might take a few overs away.

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah would have tried going after target if we were 1-0 down, he wont even think to go for this target

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wow you have completely lost it I have been calling for his exclusion from the very first day of the Australian series.

Show me where I said that he's the second best?

Either you are a troll or have less IQ than Umar Akmal.

Everybody get ready to see Mamoon owned

This is Mamoon on Babar in the past:

What a fantastic bowler. Great to see him turn the ball and not be bothered with the gimmicky deliveries like other spinners of today.

Raza Hasan has to wait for a while. No where near this guy yet.

That's the end of Rehman's limited over career as well if he ever had one.

And:

Another great performance. This guy is just class.

I know Babar isn't as good as Ajmal but he is definitely someone in the same bracket as someone like Herath for example.

He has the potential to be world class unlike Rehman.

Zulfiqar is amazing IMO.

Don't question me.

 

[PTI]

Pakistan camp must be thinking how to play out 72 overs on a day 5 pitch to draw the test.
Be ready to witness wickets crumbling under pressure to survive on day 5 pitch.

 

[Aman]

Tricky few overs coming up for Pakistan.

McCullum declared too early imo, but I guess this was always the plan.

 

[hur rizvi]

Nice Carrot left out by McCullum. He always goes for the win if he can.

However i think the bad light might take a few overs away.

Nah 260 is too much Pakistan wont try for win here, they would have tried if target was 200-220

 

[Bullet Drive]

I may have just forced [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] into early retirement.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Those who think we will go for it are delusional

We would play for a draw for Sure

Didn't you didn't see Pak play against SL when we scored 300+ in 55 overs?

 

[Aman]

Nice Carrot left out by McCullum. He always goes for the win if he can.

However i think the bad light might take a few overs away.

McCullum is the only reason this game is still interesting, he's the only one looking for the win.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Taufeeq and Masood need to get a good start, none of that non-sense batting like the first innings

 

[Aman]

How many overs will Southee and Boult have at the openers before lunch?

 

[Pak_Jazba]

My guess. Pak plays out till lunch cautiously. Assesses the situation from there on, and then decides how to go forward in the game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on boys. Pls chase this.

If Waqar was in commentary box he would have suggested us to chase. Lets see

 

[mmkextreme_1]

How many overs will Southee and Boult have at the openers before lunch?

Extended session, lunch still an hour away

Maybe send Sarfaraz to open?

 

[hur rizvi]

Didn't you didn't see Pak play against SL when we scored 300+ in 55 overs?

We were 1-0 down and had nothing to lose by going for the target

Here we have our 1-0 lead to lose if we fail

Different scenario entirely

 

[Asif321]

we can chase this , 72 overs are alot

 

[Mamoon]

I may have just forced [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] into early retirement.

Nice try, but that was more than a year ago when he was bowling very well.

Now he's in sharp decline and I saw that as soon as he turned up against Australia.

Error: Try again.

 

[akamaka]

Nice Carrot left out by McCullum. He always goes for the win if he can.

However i think the bad light might take a few overs away.

It didn't stop the game when chasing against srilanka in that 300 chase. Light was really bad but umpires kept it going.
