Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd Test- Day 1 | Napier | 11/12/09

[TalhaSyed]

its what makes us unique :younis

exactly...even Bang wont be looking to smack 6s and 4s at a time like this but there is no stopping us

 

[PB]

For Farhat, Good Shot - 4
Bad Shot - Anything he defends

 

[imshally81]

farhat one edge away to his 50

 

[Afridi_Fan]

83/5 at Lunch.

 

[imshally81]

thanx GOD itz launch

 

[mindless slogging]

Good shot is off the middle

Bad shot is off edge

Fine line between success and failure

Imran Farhat has had 50/50 of each. He should have been out as many times as he got has got boundaries.

 

[sali]

Another three days test in making

 

[Imy]

Dont worry folks one of these guys will score a 100

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Zabardast 1st session for PAK 83-5

O'Brien to consider playing on for NZ BUT only against PAK

 

[Seen Sheen]

Thank God,we are only 5 down at Lunch

 

[iZeeshan]

And it's lunch people's.

Let's leave them wicketless in the next session and get to 180.

But my prediction for the end of next session is 176/7

 

[Afridi_Fan]

See you guys after lunch.

 

[imshally81]

Time for Namaz

 

[Genghis]

Best news all day ... its lunch!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Zabardast 1st session for PAK 83-5

O'Brien to consider playing on for NZ BUT only against PAK

 

[ads101]

Is it me or did kamran akmal start batting better since umar came onto the scene?
It's like the competition between brothers has spurred him on!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ok guys, am off now better try and get some sleep which has mostly disappeared after seeing this fun packed 1st session!

 

[nabeel_1990]

hopefully when nz bat, pak will rip through there line-up

 

[luvthegame]

Well some bad batting...but the pitch is not dead by any means....it has pace and bounce...this is what the game is all about...

Inshallah Imran and Kami will score big I have feeling once the pitch eases down a bit.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Opening batsman
Test match
1st morning of the test
67/5
10 minutes to go to lunch

and

Farhat playing as if he is playing in ICL ---- he has lost all the respect I had for him - if any!

Surprising that you had any respect left for him after the first Test. Like they say, be-izati uss ki hoti ha jis ki izzat ho

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Besides moyo, and the AKmals, none of these guys should be in the team. The commentators were making fun of our top order all the time.

 

[luvthegame]

the cricinfo guy is saying that there wasnt much for the bowlers...is he on crack...The pitch has bounce and pace...

Yaar, the Kiwis were laughing at the shots we were playing - is there a bigger baistee han that?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

 

[shane]

I think he is just emphasising the point that this is no minefield, which it is not.

I think the average score here is over 400 and the pitch will get better and better for batting.

 

[ads101]

And it's lunch people's.

Let's leave them wicketless in the next session and get to 180.

But my prediction for the end of next session is 176/7

that's a bit high/optimistic!

I think we'll be all out for 140.

If Farhat and akmal both make centuries, they'll rescue pakistan and post an average total score which our bowlers could defend.

Note that Akmal and Farhat are the only two real batsmen left. Yes Aamer might produce a good innings, yet under such pressure it's unlikely and it's not expected of him.

Our tailenders are really weak at batting. Gul, Asif and Kaneria can't bat. Expect them to go for close to nothing..

 

[Gollum]

I think the Kiwi comms have been very charitable to us, wait until we play in OZ land.

 

[PapaBear]

) ) )

 

[ammarz]

Score predictions anyone?!

 

[sali]

O'Brien's wife won't be happy. Pakistani batsman are making him look like Jeff Thompson. Now NZ may try to stop him and he may not migrate to UK. Conspiracy against her by Pakistani selectors.

 

[Gollum]

300 is the bare bare minimum we need at this wicket. Its hard to see even NZ collapse on this pitch. Its certainly is NOT a 99 or even a 199 pitch!

 

[Oxy]

thanx GOD itz launch

So when is take off?

 

[imshally81]

Score predictions anyone?!

150

 

[imshally81]

27 min remaining

 

[ammarz]

So when is take off?

Houston we have a problem!!

 

[b0wld]

What i dont get is where did the positive frame of mind wnet when we won the 2nd test. ITs like the batsmen saying to our bowlers...

"well its up to u guyz"

I sincerely hopes baba doesn't lead us in the ODI's

Ejazz Hippoo wake up!!

 

[90MPH]

Well what a joke. A flat track with a bit of bounce and Pak batsman just look clueless to say the least.

Pakistan will need a miracle just to get 200, and even then the game will be gone. In 1 session they have killed the test match.

 

[imshally81]

i think outfield is slow

 

[farsiddiqui]

If we get very lucky, we'll score between 150 and 200. I don't think we will cross 200 in the first innings.

 

[PapaBear]

I would like to predict 250....

 

[imshally81]

it will be miracle if we cross 240 mark

 

[Oxy]

Houston we have a problem!!

Whitney? - she could do a job at No.3

 

[b0wld]

i say 120/AO

 

[TalhaSyed]

time to watch some Scrubs to cheer my self up

 

[Inswinger]

If we get very lucky, we'll score between 150 and 200. I don't think we will cross 200 in the first innings.

200 might not be so bad. Kiwi batsmen are equally as bad as ours.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

[ammarz]

200 is the bare minimum they need to score to have any chance at all in this match now. pitch had nice bounce but that is about all. there wasnt any swing or weird things going on.
So, Aus Malik will probably be back again as bhanja did not perform in this match. Are they trying to pull a fast one on us?!

 

[iHammad]

20 minutes left!

 

[Big Mac]

Looks like Malik was the one holding the middle order together just by his mere presence

I've decided that because the highlights are too painful to watch, I'm going to check the stats and crunch the numbers and see if my joke might actually be true. Will be back with the results in a minute

 

[germanboy]

Which we lost....

only by 32 runs!!!

 

[ammarz]

Whitney? - she could do a job at No.3

As she would say Crack is whack Oxy!! Probably would have better foot movement than the current lead footed moron that currently resides there.

 

[germanboy]

If Akmal and Imran can play the whole 2nd session it will be so great!

 

[ammarz]

I just saw a pack of pigs fly by!!

 

[luvthegame]

relax guys..this is just a game..these things happen...kami and farhat need to bat with responsibility and try to make a good score...

The two best batsmen play the two most atrocious shots, Misbah, Butt and Faisal got out to good balls, but Yousuf and Umer Akmal gifted their wickets, stand and deliver, no foot movement, outside the off stump, flashing and getting caught in the slip giving catching practice. What kind of test cricket is this.
If Imran Farhat was not streaky and edgy we could hav been 30 for 6!

Pakistan need a batting coach, must fire Inti now.

 

[iHammad]

My prediction is.........190 all out

 

[abdulqadir786]

Ok, here we go.

Since Malik made his debut on Aug 29 2001 Pakistan have played 28 tests with him, 37 tests without Shoaib Malik.

In matches without Malik the average runs per wicket is 33.08

In matches with Malik the average runs per wicket is 38.78

So like all the best jokes, mine contained more than a grain of truth.

I am starting the BRING BACK MALIK Bandwagon right here, everybody hop on

 

[farsiddiqui]

Not in this one!!!

My thoughts exactly. Looks like a 3-dayer to me.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We are back live.

Interesting!! I still think I will let the Malik train leave the station. Think we can do better than him at 6 in test matches.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 for Farhat
