[Gollum]

Asif back

 

[sali]

Make or break next 12 overs

 

[luvthegame]

come on boys...good work...break this partnership...

 

[insaaniyat]

Yoesuf seems to have a set pattern.

 

[insaaniyat]

we can't let them have more the 50 runs lead, break the partnership

 

[abdulkhan786]

what the hell is going on...toooo much easy runs issed:

 

[adzzy786]

New Ball Taken

 

[iHammad]

new ball taken now...

 

[Gollum]

Make or break next 12 overs

More like 5

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Team has gone to sleep. When they wake up game could be out of reach.

 

[Daytripped]

Aamer has the ball

 

[kasoo10]

These 2 will have all our bowling side for lunch. They will get a 200 run partnership. This is what i feel.

 

[Daytripped]

Not a promising start. but that's okay. Take a couple of wickets quick Aamer!

 

[adzzy786]

We need some one like Shoaib Akhtar right about now...

 

[Gollum]

New ball is going even faster to the boundary!

 

[saj001]

man , i hate vettori .

 

[Gollum]

man , i hate vettori .

Why? He's playing very well. Learn to appreciate your opponents

 

[insaaniyat]

We need some one like Shoaib Akhtar right about now...

who is he?

 

[sada90]

we can't win this one so we need to make sure we can draw it..
if newzeland lead by 100 runs,
it will be very impossible for Pakistan to win as our batting sucks..

 

[saj001]

two 4's

 

[Seen Sheen]

Match slipping away..

 

[imshally81]

hi guyzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[insaaniyat]

a lead of 100 will be very bad for us

 

[Gollum]

we can't win this one so we need to make sure we can draw it..
if newzeland lead by 100 runs,
it will be very impossible for Pakistan to win as our batting sucks..

No way we can draw this one out. We can't bat two days against a school XI!

 

[adzzy786]

who is he?

Look at the bowling averages and strike rates

 

[shane]

Cant see Pakistan winning this now, better hope there is alot of rain around.

[asadee]

phainti parh rah hai...should have brought asif when vettori was new to the crease

 

[insaaniyat]

I still don't trust our openers. Imran has already played his once in a life time inning.My hope is on Yousef and Omar

 

[Gollum]

McCullum is taking it as a ODI/T20 new ball inning. He's very good at this.

 

[imshally81]

not out

 

[saj001]

Rudi at it again

 

[insaaniyat]

rudi is set now. not gonna give out

 

[sada90]

Cant see Pakistan winning this now, better hope there is alot of rain around.

yep prey for rain...

 

[kasoo10]

Mc is playing a typical T20 inning. He is in IPL world.

 

[Gollum]

Forget appealing to the umps. They will not give a decision in our favour in this match any more.

 

[insaaniyat]

yep prey for rain...

yep sad but true

 

[iHammad]

let's just bowl beamers!

 

[Gollum]

50 for McCullum...in a flash!

 

[insaaniyat]

Forget appealing to the umps. They will not give a decision in our favour in this match any more.

in this inning. isn't it 2 review per inning?

 

[Gollum]

in this inning. isn't it 2 review per inning?

we are out of reviews...

 

[shaaan]

I still don't trust our openers. Imran has already played his once in a life time inning.My hope is on Yousef and Omar

true..moyo and UA would need to play better in the second inning

 

[Gollum]

Alright we are back to our misfielding ways

 

[shane]

Garbage from Asif and from Pakistan. It's a shame, this match was theirs for the taking just over an hour ago.

 

[insaaniyat]

we are out of reviews...

in this inning?

 

[Gollum]

in this inning?

yes

 

[insaaniyat]

Garbage from Asif and from Pakistan. It's a shame, this match was theirs for the taking just over an hour ago.

true. looks like we have given up

 

[insaaniyat]

yes

thank you

 

[tauseefm]

Gul really struggling in test cricket. These 2 could take this away from us with a 200 lead.

I hope we both are watching the same test match

 

[insaaniyat]

man Aamir looks so out of sink

 

[Gollum]

Need some inspiration and imagination from the Kaptaan

 

[iHammad]

we need a wicket!

 

[Imy]

Bowlers look flat

 

[kasoo10]

Boys are tired after a full day of effort. They are in hang up mode now. If anything it will happen tomorrow morning.

 

[Daytripped]

So everyone here has lost hope?

 

[Gollum]

man Aamir looks so out of sink

Welcome to Test Cricket Son!

 

[insaaniyat]

I hope we both are watching the same test match

same match, different point of view

 

[Gollum]

Chashmaato also has a 50. Well played!

 

[Shah]

Bowlers getting tired and thrashed. Moron selectors did not pick an all-rounder for the 5th bowling option. Arafat sitting at the boundary could have really helped with the bowling instead of useless Iqbal.

 

[taaveez]

this is deja vu from 1st innings of the dunedin match

 

[iHammad]

So everyone here has lost hope?

nope

Never will stop backing my team!
Go Pakistan!

 

[adzzy786]

Poor Aamir Suffering. They New Zealand Chefs have given him something bad for his stomach lol

 

[insaaniyat]

So everyone here has lost hope?

hope never die one good over that's all we need

 

[insaaniyat]

yousef getting angry,wow

 

[Gollum]

yousef getting angry,wow

at whom? himself surely...

 

[JeeraBlade]

65 runs in last 10 overs.

NZ 450+

 

[kasoo10]

yousef getting angry,wow

Is he? What did he do?

 

[sali]

Ameer off color. Is it too much Lassi or fine for fighting with Gul?

 

[Cover Drive]

yousef getting angry,wow

Why?

(Note I am not watching it live)

 

[tauseefm]

same match, different point of view

The only thing bugs me is when people pass comment after one bad over. Gul gave 9 runs and here we go. Now Asif and Amir leaking runs somebody else will say something else.

our bowlers have been doing amazing job on a "Phata" wicket. its our zaleel bating lineup wo are letting us down over and over again

 

[insaaniyat]

Poor Aamir Suffering. They New Zealand Chefs have given him something bad for his stomach lol

Well, Aamir had started to get cocky. May be he will come back from cloud nine soon and start delivering the way he did before this test match

 

[Gollum]

NZ 450+

Bye bye match and series then!

 

[luvthegame]

really need a wicket now...both these batsman are are annoying...Wats up with aamer

 

[JeeraBlade]

at whom? himself surely...

yeh -- didn't bowl very well.

 

[abdulkhan786]

mcullum has lost ball

 

[kasoo10]

So we do not have a spinner except DK? This means we are missing Afridi or even SM.

yes yes yes. But still we are just getting edgy because of our weak batting lineup. a lead of 100 will just screw us up big time

 

[Seen Sheen]

McCullum taking game away from us with his stroke play...can somebody get him out plz..

 

[adzzy786]

Another Series Lost. We never going to win a test series. I have seriously given up!

 

[Zechariah]

Go away pessimistic fans!

But 70 runs in 10 overs, even faster than ODIs, this is T20.
