Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd Test- Day 4 | Napier | 14/12/09

[siccric]

why do people think we need to score quickly? still around 150 overs left in the test match, provided the weather stays okay

 

[Oxy]

Shot of the Match for me.

Short of the year - Moyo for captain!

 

[saj001]

Ganja comes into attack

 

[Momo]

1000 runs for Faisal Iqbal

By the same rate, he will take 56 more years to cross 8000.

 

[Oxy]

:younis Rain is a falling - I felt it in my ear

 

[Oxy]

228-2

Trail by 20 runs

 

[Oxy]

This will be the last over - rain getting heavier

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rain might save nz here.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Rain might save nz here.

 

[saj001]

Moyo to Faisal : Pyar sai khailtha reh to

 

[Romali_rotti]

Qasim from the US: "Faisal just completed his 1K runs, congratulations to him, even though it came on a poor average, still its a milestone to celebrate"

) )

 

[tahaqureshi]

did I hear that right? did Yousuf just say "pyar say khelta reh bas"?

 

[Oxy]

Rain stopped play.

 

[saeed-sohail]

I predict rain stops play before too long.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Damn. Draw most likely now unless rain goes within the hour.

 

[saeed-sohail]

did I hear that right? did Yousuf just say "pyar say khelta reh bas"?

Dehan se suna karo.

 

[iHammad]

did I hear that right? did Yousuf just say "pyar say khelta reh bas"?

No.
"Dehaan say khelta reh bas"

 

[saj001]

Lol at Umar

 

[Kamranz]

Hahahahaha "Umar Akmal drinking Paint".

 

[Kamranz]

Seriously Umar makes me laugh!! Kids got guts....

 

[slix10]

I suppose draw it is.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Hahahahaha "Umar Akmal drinking Paint".

 

[Kamranz]

LOL ) It was perfect comment. I thought the same as he removed the mug from his lips. )

I laughed out Loud.

 

[slix10]

133 overs*

And I don't think Moyo will be comfortable declaring with anything less than 275.

 

[hashmist]

so what do you think will happen now after the 2nd wicket drops?

Not funny at all!

 

[Muddaser]

133 overs*

And I don't think Moyo will be comfortable declaring with anything less than 275.

We havent removed the deficit and you're already talking about 275?

 

[Momo]

Sanchez from Australia is happy with Pakistan's run-rate: "I think Pakistan are playing superbly. After losing two early wickets, they needed to rebuild their innings so they had a chance to save the match. Once they get a bit of a lead, they can try and accelerate later today.

Sanchez? Following cricket? What is the world coming to?

 

[luvthegame]

rain...

 

[luvthegame]

pak needs to make around 275 before NZ can bat again...if there is more rain delay then Pak should bat all they can and allow their middle order to practise before they head out to face the Aussies...

 

[slix10]

We havent removed the deficit and you're already talking about 275?

Was explaining to him why people think we need to score quickly.

[saj001]

Sun is out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Vettori's prayers finally answered by the rain. Kiwis can now breath a sigh of relief.

 

[Momo]

True Afridi_Fan, lucky NZ. Saali baarish bachaa gayee Pakistani juggernaut se. issed:

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[daghetto]

[saj001]

Bad news for Vettori and Co.

I cant wait to see afridiesque century from Umar today He looked very eager to go out in middle and bat

 

[PapaBear]

covers off

 

[Momo]

Exactly what I feel. Vettori was so happy when they walked off. He was jumping and giggling like a lil girl.

He is too smart not to realize the potential threat of Faisal Iqbal (Karachi).

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[abdulqadir786]

[Afridi_Fan]

For Pakistan to make 275, we need a max of 7.4 overs.

 

[Momo]

For Pakistan to make 275, we need a max of 7.4 overs.

In-deed.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

For Pakistan to make 275, we need a max of 7.4 overs.

Oh, even then we will score 1 run more than required. 276

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bachey hain abhi ye. They don't know what Pakistan can do.

LMAO.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Vettori= The Heart and Soul of New Zealand Cricket.

 

[daghetto]

time for the mass genocide of NZ's cricket team now

 

[saj001]

All set to start

 

[abdulqadir786]

is it still raining?

 

[Momo]

Faisal Iqbal means business.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

All set to start

Check out if Vettori is crying. His heart must be shattered by this small interruption in play. As he would have prayed for a long one.

 

[darkmoon459]

what's the status of pakistan batting, are we gonna lose this one too.

 

[ringo16]

Vettori= The Heart and Soul of New Zealand Cricket.

Don't forget batsman Tuffey and bowler Guptill.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Faisal Iqbal means business.

Does he needs an investor?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

what's the status of pakistan batting, are we gonna lose this one too.

Wah ji Wah. We have a kiwi dressed as Pakistani

 

[taaveez]

Faisal has no pull or hip flick shots for short deliveries? He seems to be guiding them down with his bat.

 

[Sheikh_Ji]

Its time for Faisal to try to accelerate....MoYo needs to continue to play the anchor role from one end. Moyo needs to be there till the very end!

 

[saj001]

Yousuf to faisal: BAAGh in sholay style

 

[Vegitto1]

why is yousaf in suicidal mode

 

[iZeeshan]

4 boundaries to erase deficit.

 

[Genghis]

Still moving along very slowly today. I guess Moyo is quite contempt on a draw. If we played at a normal pace, we would be about 100 runs ahead and looking possibly at a good lead by close of play today. At best now, I would think we may be 150 runs ahead today.

 

[luvthegame]

good batting by faisal....Malik is out now for the Aussie series..Get a 50..

 

[taaveez]

Well, this isn't going anywhere. No point staying at the same score for 30 minutes

 

[Vegitto1]

Ballet by Yusaf

 

[insaaniyat]

salam all. i missed half of the match. looks like our openers didn't last long. Still not bad.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Well, this isn't going anywhere. No point staying at the same score for 30 minutes

Well we still have Umar and Kamran to come out. They could push the score at a fair rate.

This is test cricket..If MOYO plays a rash shot and gets out Pak could be in trouble...

Both batsman are palying very sensibly..

 

[insaaniyat]

we need to survive today and push for runs tomorrow. Reminds me of the match against india, the one we won

 

[saj001]

Good shot by yousuf 4

 

[saj001]

deficit in single figures now

 

[insaaniyat]

beautiful shot for 4
