c;mon yaar

 

[Uzi]

is kami going to do an India on NZ? Were we 25-5 then?

I think we were 39-6 when Kami came in.

We need a similar innings from him right now.

 

[JeeraBlade]

66/5 kya ho raha hai bhaiyoon ????

Pak batsmen raising their stake for upcoming IPL auction.

 

[imshally81]

some swing for bowler

 

[imshally81]

one-handed shot

 

[Zaz]

Honestly, Farhat has to be given credit here. I don't care how many chances he's had, the fact is that everyone's fell around him, and he's still out there.

Knock on wood, btw, because I really want to see him go on and get a 100.

hes 2 rubbsih to get an edge

 

[Big Mac]

Snicko shows contact - why dont they use it???

Has to be irrefutable evidence to overturn a decision, if there's nothing on hotspot then it's not irrefutable

 

[germanboy]

Rahats cooking is on Geo right now wo dekholo

 

[12thMan]

We're looking at a 150 run partnership here.

Mark my words.

Team meeting only said Imran and Kamran will bat one session together. There was no mention of 150 runs as that adds pressure

 

[ads101]

And who wanted to drop farhat! ) ) )

I made a thread supporting him to be kept as an opener, thinking he was consistent at least making 30s instead of the single figures of our other openers.

Didn't expect that Farhat would be holding strong on his own seemingly untroubled as other batsmen are falling apart.

Farhat will definitely be picked in the Australia tests now lol, in this first innings he's likely to make up half of Pakistan's runs!

 

[Saqib]

Imran Farhat secures his place for the rest of his career now...

just shows you his last shot...we are in danger.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wah ji wah, is ball se ye sabit hua the ball is following the bat.

 

[imshally81]

what a bad shot by IF
444444444444 more

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Rahats cooking is on Geo right now wo dekholo

duck a l'orange ?

 

[Big Mac]

That's a disgusting shot

 

[Oxy]

I am lost for words.

NZ team actually laughing at our shots.

Shameful day

 

[germanboy]

wow 70 figure looks good

 

[pak4life]

lol you can not be serious Mr Farhat!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

O farhat, ) )

 

[Zaz]

damaad trying his best to join his mates but edge to slip eluding him

 

[IMMY69]

***....

this farhat guy should be kicked out along with a few others....right now i am so angry i dont care if he makes a tripple hundred

 

[nabeel_1990]

what a poor shot by farhat

 

[Kamranz]

lol thats a classic line. Thats right also, when selectors dont pick the right player how do you expect us to win.

yeah but wasn't that an ODI?
This is a test. The batting pitch isn't bad either I don't think.

 

[germanboy]

[imshally81]

oh akmal got hurt

 

[cricketcrazy]

Damaad is just trying to get the 50 before lunch.

 

[Saqib]

I think all the members on Pakpassion should donate PCB for a good batting coach....or donate some kookabura balls...

you had some?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I'm just keeping an eye on my watch. Less than 10 minutes for lunch. Hope both the batsmen know that too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So whats in store for Pakistan in Australia with a lineup like this?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'm just keeping an eye on my watch. Less than 10 minutes for lunch. Hope both the batsmen know that too.

And Farhat knows what we dont!

 

[Noman]

HAHAHA Imran farhat showing his 20-20 skills,,,wanna show he is better opener than Kamran Akmal in 20-20 mode

 

[Oxy]

O'Brien embarrassing Farhat with his pace

Joke!

 

[germanboy]

Tuffey to Imran Farhat, FOUR, How on earth is Farhat surviving? his response to a back of length ball angling outside off is an ugly, ugly heave that was straight out of Twenty20, edges it over second slip

 

[Oxy]

So whats in store for Pakistan in Australia with a lineup like this?

The mother of all batterings

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhat on 45 somehow

 

[Afridi_Fan]

26 more needed to beat Kiwis 99.

 

[imshally81]

no ball

 

[iZeeshan]

Again, I know a lot of people on this board don't like Farhat.

And I myself was disgusted with him after all his drops.

But please, give credit where credit is due. I am qualifying by stating that he's had his chances, but HE IS STILL OUT THERE. It's not a complete fluke.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The mother of all batterings

Shaabash!

 

[Kamranz]

oxy bhai, thanks for that. hahaha inshallah we will win from Aussie's with score's like 70 to 80 in first innings. What do ya say?

 

[imshally81]

66666666666666666666666666666

And Chakka for Kamran!

Good shot, counterattack.

I know I shouldn't be laughing as Pakistan is loosing.

But this is one of the funniest innings I've seen. Oh and farhat, the sheer comedy of the situation.

 

[Oxy]

Six...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

80/5

 

[Big Mac]

haha stunning shot

 

[imshally81]

last over before launch

 

[Zaz]

nz commentators criticising even the good shots

 

[Seen Sheen]

:akmal looks alot more assured while playing his 'attacking' strokes than Farhat,who looks ****.

 

[Oxy]

Hes just not been good enough to edge the ball!

Its the worst 40 odd Ive seen in years!

 

[iZeeshan]

Don't forget we were 85/5 in the first test, and we still came back and got a decent total in the end. NZ's batting isn't good at all, and our bowling is a lot better than there's. This game is no where near over.

 

[TalhaSyed]

i know this is extreamly rubbish......but i love pakistani cricket ))

 

[pak4life]

following from the last test we have lost 12 wickets for around 100 runs.

 

[Saqib]

Kamran Akmal can't wait for the lunch he is hungry....was no need for that shot realy 12 minutes to go before lunch...

 

[Oxy]

nz commentators criticising even the good shots

Its because they are so risky...

 

[iZeeshan]

Hes just not been good enough to edge the ball!

But you can't ignore that he's on 45 and still out there while everyone is falling like flies around him. That adds immense pressure. Yes he's had farts and he's been lucky, but maybe that's just what we need.

 

[JeeraBlade]

nz commentators criticising even the good shots

Good shot -- stupid time to play the shot.

 

[Oxy]

Don't forget we were 85/5 in the first test.

Which we lost....

 

[SpiritOf1903]

its what makes us unique :younis

he has a talent of making 30 odd as an opener (which is more than we expect for our current openers really). He's actually in some ways the most talented opener we have unfortunately.

In such a pressure situation, I'm suprised he hasn't fallen apart.
Still I doubt he'll get a century with the way he's playing lol.

 

[Zaz]

Its because they are so risky...

Good shot is off the middle

Bad shot is off edge

Fine line between success and failure

 

[imshally81]

Which we lost....

hahahaa

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Farhat one swipe away from 50

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hes just not been good enough to edge the ball!

) )

 

[luvthegame]

come one kami make a big score...

 

[iZeeshan]

Which we lost....

Okay, but it wasn't THAT inning that led to the loss, so the result is irrelevant.

 

[imshally81]

very bad shot selection by IF

 

[ads101]

i know this is extreamly rubbish......but i love pakistani cricket ))

me too!

And New zealand think they can rival Pakistani batting collapses.....

 

[shafkath]

i know this is extreamly rubbish......but i love pakistani cricket ))

HAHA i know exactly how you feel. its fun aint it.
