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

[pak4life]

why does he have to play these ugly hoicks this is test match cricket

 

[Genghis]

With that six, Gul has overtaken Butt, Faisal, Misbah, Yousuf and Akmal all put together!

 

[iZeeshan]

With that six, Gul has overtaken Butt, Faisal, Misbah, Yousuf and Akmal all put together!

Don't put Umar in the same category as the other buffoons.

 

[iHammad]

191/7

 

[iHammad]

194/7

 

[sali]

250 will be a face saving total if we don't drop 7 catches in NZ's inning

 

[daghetto]

Umar Gul (rhb) 24 runs 28 balls


wow........

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Rubbish bowling by NZ really to these tailenders, why dont they just bowl into the stumps.

 

[insaaniyat]

250 will be a face saving total if we don't drop 7 catches in NZ's inning

if get to 250, we would be in a great shape. I don't see NZ making more than 250 either

 

[sali]

Umer Gul and Ameer for #2 and #3 position. Middle order comes from 4 to 9. Problem solved.

 

[sali]

if get to 250, we would be in a great shape. I don't see NZ making more than 250 either

You must be counting on 90% catching

 

[kasoo10]

I think we need to set small achievable targets.

First target is 200 without loosing wicket.

 

[Genghis]

In all honesty, if we can get to 200+ (which we wont) then we will win the match.

Hash you still sticking by your words?

 

[kasoo10]

Umer Gul and Ameer for #2 and #3 position. Middle order comes from 4 to 9. Problem solved.

Heyyyyyy......... I found one supporter for my idea......

 

[insaaniyat]

You must be counting on 90% catching

nay, just 75% catching

 

[iZeeshan]

Uh oh Gul gone.

How long can Asif/Kaneria last?

50 runs hopefully.

 

[insaaniyat]

out

 

[tauseefm]

smith was right, Gul got out on 24.. Kanaria will make 25

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow I had no idea my stream was so ahead.

Gul's been out for a good minute and a half now.

 

[Imy]

This pitch isnt easy I saw one ball kick up, and one ball seam in last 3 overs

 

[mindless slogging]

Predictions for N.Z. first innings. My guess: 350- lead of 100 odd.

 

[insaaniyat]

the last three batsman 22,23, 24. I guess now Asif's turn to make 25?

 

[iZeeshan]

And Asif gone first ball

Will we even get 200!?

 

[insaaniyat]

Predictions for N.Z. first innings. My guess: 350- lead of 100 odd.

Mindless, NZ is not Australia. No more than 250

 

[saj001]

what a crap shot by asif

come on dani just stay there for 2 balls

 

[insaaniyat]

And Asif gone first ball

Will we even get 200!?

now it doesn't look like it

 

[Khabri420]

Dani send the ball to the moon

 

[insaaniyat]

I think time for Imran to get into T20 mode

 

[eViLrAcEr]

what the hell happened?
View dismissal Faisal Iqbal c Guptill b O'Brien 6 25 1 0 24.00
10.5 O'Brien strikes in his first over! a 138kmh short ball, rises sharply, Iqbal looks to defend, gets it on the splice of the bat and lobs towards Guptill at gully 39/2
View dismissal Mohammad Yousuf* c McIntosh b O'Brien 0 13 0 0 0.00
14.6 O'Brien has got Yousuf for a duck, massive breakthrough, Yousuf looks to slash a back of length ball outside off, away from the body, outside edges it to the left of second slip, where McIntosh latches onto it 43/3
View dismissal Umar Akmal c Guptill b O'Brien 0 11 0 0 0.00
18.2 O'Brien, why are you leaving? short ball gets Umar Akmal this time, short ball 144kmh, Akmal prods at it and gives catching practice to Guptill at gully, another duck, 4.2-4-3-3 are O'Brien's figures, a dream spell 51/4
View dismissal Misbah-ul-Haq c †McCullum b O'Brien 0 4 0 0 0.00!!!

 

[sali]

Asif can't play

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Predictions for N.Z. first innings. My guess: 350- lead of 100 odd.

Have you seen NZ bat? They got out for 99 in the previous innings.

 

[mindless slogging]

Mindless, NZ is not Australia. No more than 250

They're the only team in this series to have made more than 400. Doesn't matter if they are not Australia- we will make the look like Australia.

 

[eViLrAcEr]

bat carry for farhat?

 

[mindless slogging]

Have you seen NZ bat? They got out for 99 in the previous innings.

They also have a 400+ score. You're point being?

 

[insaaniyat]

They're the only team in this series to have made more than 400. Doesn't matter if they are not Australia- we will make the look like Australia.

maximum 250 and I even doubt that.

 

[eViLrAcEr]

abay test match hai ya t20 :s

 

[iZeeshan]

Farhat in T20 mode.

2 runs.

 

[saj001]

222

 

[eViLrAcEr]

every 10 years, a pakistani opener carries his bat

 

[saj001]

200 up

 

[iZeeshan]

Four for Farhat!

Very, very clever shot.

200 up.

PLEASE 20 more runs.

 

[insaaniyat]

every 10 years, a pakistani opener carries his bat

better than nothing

 

[insaaniyat]

very good shot

 

[saj001]

what a shot by farhat

 

[eViLrAcEr]

farhat is going nuts playing the most awkward shots

 

[insaaniyat]

again the same shot,wow

 

[bluffmasterv2]

They also have a 400+ score. You're point being?

Sure, but with our recent bowling form, you have to back us to bowl them out for less than 220.

 

[saj001]

hahaha danish hits 4

 

[Genghis]

200 up mubarak ho everyone!!!

 

[eViLrAcEr]

but really...terrible collapse

 

[insaaniyat]

Sure, but with our recent bowling form, you have to back us to bowl them out for less than 220.

I would agree

 

[insaaniyat]

danish for 4. lol

 

[JeeraBlade]

Kaneria --- calm down buddy. Let Farhat do the batting.

 

[sali]

One 4 for Danish, he will try the 2nd to end the ininng

 

[saj001]

What a shot by kaneria

4444

 

[insaaniyat]

wow danish

 

[JeeraBlade]

Kaneria is an idiot!

 

[Big Mac]

Gwan Danish, top shot

 

[eViLrAcEr]

cricinfo:
Kamran 22, Aamer 23, Gul 24, anyone spot a pattern there? Asif doesn't extend that sequence, he's gone first ball,

 

[saj001]

another 444 lol and no ball

 

[iZeeshan]

This is quite entertaining!

250 on the cards again!

 

[Big Mac]

hahahahahahahaha again

 

[sali]

All the tailenders are playing to get promoted to middle order. Ameer and Gul have a chance with Shoib, Misbah and Butt in the team

 

[insaaniyat]

another 4 with no ball

 

[eViLrAcEr]

lol, commy says:
It's been a few times now, billy...silly billy has called no balls

 

[mindless slogging]

Kaneria is just too funny. )

 

[sali]

Kaneria competing with Afridi for T20 slot

 

[insaaniyat]

kaneria trying to impress selectors to be in ODI and T20

 

[Genghis]

cricinfo:
Kamran 22, Aamer 23, Gul 24, anyone spot a pattern there? Asif doesn't extend that sequence, he's gone first ball,

I guess that means Danish should get 25+26 = 51. That will be handy!

 

[saj001]

well batted kaneria

 

[SpiritOf1903]

lol @ strike-rate

 

[Imy]

Kaneria Bradman here we go

 

[daghetto]

hahahaha kaneria 3 fours in a row

 

[Big Mac]

Kaneria making a case for batting at 9 here

 

[kingusama92]

Phainty shot after phainty shot from both guys.

Love it.

 

[Genghis]

Seriously the way our tail bats, I don't understand why we don't just play a team of 10 bowlers and one keeper!

 

[sali]

Kaneria should be promoted above Asif.

 

[insaaniyat]

Kaneria making a case for batting at 9 here

Kaneria making a case for t20 inclusion

 

[insaaniyat]

Kaneria should be promoted above Asif.

have him open

 

[Genghis]

O'brien looking for the 5fer! Hit him around boys!!!
