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

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Shaan!

 

[Mamoon]

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

Pot. Kettle. Black

 

[Bullet Drive]

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.

Don't cry.

You said he has world class potential and is like Herath

 

[JibranAnsari]

Steep target.

 

[hur rizvi]

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.

Still I would say he's 2nd best option available in absence of Ajmal

 

[saiyan0312]

shan and taufeeq are opening.

 

[90MPH]

IT all depends on opening partnership if they go for it or not.

It is certainly getable.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Don't think pakistan will go for it especially one sitting duck at the top

[Mamoon]

Its obvious that in his prime he was a quality bowler who could have done great for us and I still believe we made a mistake by backing Rehman over him all those years ago but now he's simply past it and physically cannot last more than 20 overs where Raza is a much more useful bowler.

 

[hur rizvi]

Tailenders walk into the middle

 

[saiyan0312]

2 runs for masood. cmon guys lets go for it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shan looking positive.

 

[saiyan0312]

4 from the over so far.

Raza Hassan is still inferior to babar as far as tests are concerned

 

[Mamoon]

Shan must be the aggressor here.

 

[saiyan0312]

Mass outswinger for boult. Third test wont be easy.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shan wearing mongoose pads. I got those for him. Proud moment!!!

 

[battler]

sarfaraz has to come in next if pakistan are serious about chasing this target.

 

[hur rizvi]

This should be Shan's last chance, Deliver or perish

 

[Mamoon]

Raza Hassan is still inferior to babar as far as tests are concerned

Raza is better with the bat and at least can run. Frankly don't see much difference in their bowling these days.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lets see how Taufeeq will go.

 

[Mamoon]

Shan wearing mongoose pads. I got those for him. Proud moment!!!

) ) )

Do you also wipe him afterwards?

 

[akamaka]

sarfaraz has to come in next if pakistan are serious about chasing this target.

Yep, would be an attacking move, sarfraz followed by YK.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shan shoould go all guns blazing here. That's the only way I see him hitting himself out of poor form

 

[hur rizvi]

Shan must be the aggressor here.

He's a poor player, and very much incapable of playing attacking cricket

 

[razabbas]

We can chase it YK have to play a big role here

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

They are going for it

 

[saiyan0312]

by taufeeq.. good shot

 

[Mamoon]

He's a poor player, and very much incapable of playing attacking cricket

Shan lacks talent big time in my opinion.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good positive start. We will win this.

 

[razabbas]

He's a poor player, and very much incapable of playing attacking cricket

+1 , maybe taufeq but both of them are trying to cement their place in playing XI so i dont think that they will

 

[Bullet Drive]

) ) )

Do you also wipe him afterwards?

I got him signed up to Mongoose cricket.

 

[Professor]

Its seem like they are going for it.

Can't believe some here actually thought that Pakistan wouldn't even attempt to chase it.

 

[Hamza_]

Grant Flower clearly has an impact. The footage with Shan Masood is clearly an evidence.

 

[Bullet Drive]

These two struggle vs spin.

Sarfaraz & YK should come in at 3 and 4.

 

[Mamoon]

I got him signed up to Mongoose cricket.

It will be useful if he can score some runs too.

Masood seems like a good reader of the game and who works hard on his cricket but lacks ability.

 

[razabbas]

Its friday today and it will be off in UAE so expecting some crowd after friday prayers

 

[razabbas]

Taufeeq :/

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Out early as expected

 

[saiyan0312]

what the hell was that. caught nappng.

 

[hur rizvi]

Taufeeq out

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Pathetic from Taufeeq Umar..wth was he doing

 

[Hamza_]

Taufeeq gone.

 

[Bullet Drive]

As always. Can't play swing or spin. Rubbish cricketer.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

ahh crap

 

[akamaka]

a nothing delivery.

 

[Professor]

Shan must be the aggressor here.

Shan Masood strike rate even in T20s is only 80 something.

I don't think he is capable of playing aggressively

 

[Mamoon]

Please retire. He was finished in 2012.

 

[Shafi]

Taufeeq gone!!! He is finished!!!

 

[saiyan0312]

Azhar ali in,

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Now we will shut up shop, I'm sure

 

[Mamoon]

Shan Masood strike rate even in T20s is only 80 something.

Well someone has to make do.

 

[hur rizvi]

These 2 are just a waste of space, of no use to the team

I would rather not play any opener instead of these 2

 

[OZGOD]

1.6
Southee to Taufeeq Umar, OUT, immediate impact! Taufeeq stays rooted to the crease and hangs his bat at this one, it takes a feather and simple catch for keeper
Taufeeq Umar c †Watling b Southee 4 (6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

 

[JibranAnsari]

Taufeeq is over the hill

 

[Mamoon]

ahh crap

Hi there, Mr. True Son of Pakistan.

 

[akamaka]

after 13 test matches taufeeq averages 28 in UAE

 

[hur rizvi]

Now we will shut up shop, I'm sure

Shop was closed as soon as NZ exceeded 235-240

 

[razabbas]

This is some terrific bowling by Boult and southee

 

[hur rizvi]

after 13 test matches taufeeq averages 28 in UAE

and that includes a Double 100

 

[Yatoo]

last batting partner will not be seen again at international level.
End of an era

 

[Gollum]

Tofee bhai is done. Nice knowing you sir, please don't come near the national team ever again!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Masood to also get out soon

 

[Mir jibran]

thank u taufeeq Umar but ur time is over now

 

[akamaka]

and that includes a Double 100

yep, imagine if you take that 236 away

 

[Yatoo]

Ab draw hi Kar Lo

 

[90MPH]

That's was a killer blow.

Very poor nothing shot.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Hi there, Mr. True Son of Pakistan.

Yes I am !!! Quite Proud of It to be honest.

 

[Mamoon]

Sami Aslam will make his debut against England in the UAE next year I believe or at least be in the squad in place of Toffee and Masood.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Taufeeq drops a catch. And now gets out and ruins the chase. Awful liability.

 

[Justcrazy]

Masood to hammer a hundred here

 

[Professor]

last batting partner will not be seen again at international level.
End of an era

Since Shehzad is injured, I m pretty sure Taufeeq will the play the next match as well.

 

[Gollum]

I really don't understand on what basis Masood has been selected. He has a bradmanesque 35 average on our domestic roads?

 

[Shafi]

Shan Masood is rubbish!!!! I would take Hafeez (Steyn' bunny) over him.

 

[Mamoon]

Yes I am !!! Quite Proud of It to be honest.

So am I, will both make our country proud one day.

A proper slap on the face of the haters.

 

[hur rizvi]

last batting partner will not be seen again at international level.
End of an era

Who will open in next match??

Unless Hafeez miraculously gets fit he will play 1 more test

 

[Justcrazy]

69 overs more

 

[90MPH]

Can't afford to lose any more wickets this session.

 

[hur rizvi]

I really don't understand on what basis Masood has been selected. He has a bradmanesque 35 average on our domestic roads?

Worst selection ever since Junaid zia was selected, and both got in the team for similar reasons
