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

[Inswinger]

I've never heard anyone get so excited looking at a baseball glove. These Kiwis are easily amused.

 

[*sallu*]

Does not make sense to me that a #3 batsman is scared of playing a new/newish ball.

Who said he is

Posters are just speculating in here

Looks more confident than before does Iqbal

Is looking comfortablish at the crease

 

[sada90]

MAkes sense for a NZ channel to show a PAk v Aus game.....

its through sky sports..

 

[KA$H]

Martin to bowl with his dodgy 'hair' band

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good single taken - Faisal on strike

[germanboy]

[KA$H]

[Free Hit]

NZ team players are playing a joke with management fielding coach

 

[germanboy]

[Inswinger]

its through sky sports..

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nice delivery - Faisal beaten

 

[daghetto]

[On_the_up]

3rd umpire to check for run out?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How did bhanja miss that?!

 

[Inswinger]

O'brien won't leave Faisal alone!! He's troubling him from he boundary as well. Amazing.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Faisal was all over the shop on that delivery

 

[On_the_up]

Well in, does the umpire really need to ask?

 

[mindless slogging]

Even when we are in deep **** they still dont realise the urgency in running!

That was actually very well run. The N.Z. commentators are just exagerrating this ****.

Very well run by Bhanja.

 

[*sallu*]

Kismat Kharab hai--
New Zealand get the best of the bowling conditions

 

[On_the_up]

Pak trail by 62 now, both batsmen have got a start, both should be looking for 50's and one to go get a ton plus.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Ok Pakistan in deep deep trouble, if Iqbal scores a 100 here he will get picked to play against OZ. Meaning Pak will be going into boxing day with 10 players.... Start praying for a quick dismissal of Iqbal Pak fans............

 

[cric]

i am watching first time faisal iqbal batting. i think he doesn't even know how to hold a cricket bat.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

End of the over

186/2

Trail by 62

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Ok Pakistan in deep deep trouble, if Iqbal scores a 100 here he will get picked to play against OZ. Meaning Pak will be going into boxing day with 10 players.... Start praying for a quick dismissal of Iqbal Pak fans............

8 players if Farhat and Misbah are selected

 

[On_the_up]

This is test match batting of days gone by 186 runs in almost a full days play.

 

[mindless slogging]

Kismat Kharab hai--
New Zealand get the best of the bowling conditions

kismat actually had us win the toss.

 

[shafkath]

[Geordie Ahmed]

How horrible were the shots by the openers - disgusting

 

[Inswinger]

Ok Pakistan in deep deep trouble, if Iqbal scores a 100 here he will get picked to play against OZ. Meaning Pak will be going into boxing day with 10 players.... Start praying for a quick dismissal of Iqbal Pak fans............

30 minutes away from the Birds being clipped...

 

[mindless slogging]

8 players if Farhat and Misbah are selected

Don't forget Butt.

He's made Farhat look a world beater at the top.

 

[daghetto]

both are playing reallllllly slow

 

[germanboy]

pakistan is playing for a draw

 

[mindless slogging]

pakistan is playing for a draw

In all honesty, did we expect Yousuf to go for anything other than a draw?

 

[Gollum]

pakistan is playing for a draw

if so we have signed our death certificate in this match...you can't 'play for a draw' for 2 freaking days!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah looks anxious to get out there

 

[mindless slogging]

B.J. Watling.

What were his parents thinking?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Just digging a hole here. Couple of wkts and we are in trouble due to the poor rr.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Vetteori back into the attack

 

[daghetto]

i think there gonna slowly make the 69 runs or such needed, and then from there look at there position and do what they do best after; big hits every once in a while

 

[don1990]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

BHANJA DANCES

[On_the_up]

Southee with the last over before lunch

 

[farsiddiqui]

living dangerously!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

rubbish shot from Faisal - gets away with it, gets a single

 

[Oxy]

Disgusting 'leave alone' shot - which he edges! Faisal

 

[On_the_up]

63-2 in this session so far, New zealand would be more pleased with it.

 

[mindless slogging]

Both batsmen on 28 of 85 balls.

Don't care what match/ what situation, a batsman SR should always be 50.00.

Anything otherwise and that is too risky.

 

[Oxy]

Waqar gets some excellent lunches provided for him!

 

[don1990]
