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

[Shaheerthe2nd]

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

Which one was that?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Brilliant MoYo. Need this in Australia too and then we can fight.

 

[saj001]

Which one was that?

Banglore test i believe

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 240/2

Trail by 8

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

242/2

Trail by 6

 

[insaaniyat]

the test where afridi opened on the fifth day pushed the total. and pakistan declared and got india all out in almost 2 and a half session

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Replaying that 4 by Yousuf in the previous over - stunning shot

 

[insaaniyat]

it could have been mohali test, i am not sure

 

[JeeraBlade]

End of over 97 Pakistan 216/2
Mohammad Yousuf 41* (112b 4x4)
Faisal Iqbal 40* (112b 4x4)


End of over 107 Pakistan 239/2
Mohammad Yousuf 60* (142b 5x4 1x6)
Faisal Iqbal 44* (142b 4x4)

 

[saj001]

it could have been mohali test, i am not sure

Mohali test was a draw

remeber kami and razzaq

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wicket is really playing up. 200 I reckon will be a tough score to chase vs kaneria and co.

 

[insaaniyat]

it was banglore test sorry

 

[insaaniyat]

this could be a similar one, if we survive today

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Only trail by 3 now

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nice shot from Yousuf - picks up 2 runs

Only 1 run behind now

247/2

 

[insaaniyat]

trail by 1 now

 

[Genghis]

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

Both batsman are palying very sensibly..

Yes they have been sensible, but one mistake is all it takes to get a batsmen out. Sometimes being too defensive gives the opposition more a chance to attack and put pressure on the batsmen. Anyways we've almost knocked off the deficit, so that is definately a big positive!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Ooooooooooooh - DROPPED

Faisal has been dropped by Tayor - get in

 

[saj001]

Faisal Dropped

 

[insaaniyat]

dropped

 

[daghetto]

OMG!dropped the catch thankfully!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Faisal was lost, edged it to first slip and Taylor missed a sitter

Lets hope Faisal punishes them by scoring big

 

[luvthegame]

dropped..good for Pak..Faisal get your 50 man...

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Bhanja dropped. NZ will surely pay for this now.

 

[Genghis]

Wow!!! Drop!!!

 

[luvthegame]

pak needed the luck...nz had their share..

 

[tauseefm]

Bhanja dropped. NZ will surely pay for this now.

I think we are the one who will pay more then anybody else

 

[Momo]

You just don't drop the Faisal! You just don't do it!

 

[taaveez]

Taylor's been yawning all day

 

[Vegitto1]

GAME ON!

Pakistan 3-2

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

444444444444444444

Nice cover drive from Faisal

We lead by 3 runs

 

[saj001]

3-2

50 for faisal

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Faisal gets his 50 - Congrats to him

 

[sali]

Well done Pakistan. Batting finally stepped up.

Only If we had not dropped all the catches and didn't dig a hole of 250 runs, we would be in commanding position now...repeat of first test.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pak 251/2

Effectively 3/2

 

[insaaniyat]

well done. lead by three

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Has tea been taken already?

 

[insaaniyat]

Pak 251/2

Effectively 3/2

agreed, but that doesn't sound good at all

 

[JeeraBlade]

" A bit of Javid Miandad in that shot" - Waqar.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was a beauty to bring up his 50 - enjoyed that shot

 

[tahaqureshi]

that was a BEAUTIFUL cover drive from faisal to bring up his 50

top 4 batsmen have all scored 50's in this match!

 

[Momo]

The Faisal will make the NZ pay now. In the form of piddi.

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Where are the critics of Faisal Iqbal now, eh ?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Has tea been taken already?

I believe they pushed back tea a little bit.

 

[daghetto]

lead by 3

here we goooooooooooo

 

[insaaniyat]

well pitch has eased up more.

 

[saj001]

Each of the Pakistan top four have made a half-century.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Thes two have put up 106 together.

 

[Vegitto1]

Where are the critics of Faisal Iqbal now, eh ?

Flat pitch, he is still crap!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

agreed, but that doesn't sound good at all

True BUT it was -102/2 at one point so its not bad compared to that

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Where are the critics of Faisal Iqbal now, eh ?

he's a FTB

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You just don't drop the Faisal! You just don't do it!

Brilliant stuff.

 

[Momo]

Where are the critics of Faisal Iqbal now, eh ?

Your faith and loyalty to the Faisal has paid off Bublu! The Faisal didn't let you down.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

What the heck was that - horrible shot by Faisal, got away with that

 

[insaaniyat]

so we are 4 for 2 . Our openers failed again

 

[darkmoon459]

Flat pitch, he is still crap!

Man you have to be a true pakistani , never happy.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Where are the critics of Faisal Iqbal now, eh ?

They are still here because frankly Faisal is still rubbish BUT he has scored crucial runs so deserves credit for that

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Pakistan 4-2 which we are use to anyway lol

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

so we are 4 for 2 . Our openers failed again

) ) )

 

[jusarrived]

[insaaniyat]

Man you have to be a true pakistani , never happy.

lol

 

[saj001]

so we are 4 for 2 . Our openers failed again

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Your faith and loyalty to the Faisal has paid off Bublu! The Faisal didn't let you down.

I'm sure he will be in the playing XI for at least the 1st Test against Australia.

 

[Vegitto1]

run em to the ground

 

[insaaniyat]

for all the Faisal haters , hes just saved a test match for you guys

let's say so far so good

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Another UGLY shot from Faisal - gets away with it again

Gets 2 runs for it

 

[saj001]

6-2

 

[insaaniyat]

faisal is riding his luck

 

[Momo]

for all the Faisal haters , hes just saved a test match for you guys

Which tells its own story about our new depths.

 

[insaaniyat]

hope it continues. Now if we are 100-2 Insha-Allah we would be in good shape

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

for all the Faisal haters , hes just saved a test match for you guys

He is a diamond in the ruff. Most aren't able to watch the glaze of that diamond as it's not polished yet.

 

[Momo]

I'm sure he will be in the playing XI for at least the 1st Test against Australia.

Mashallah?
Inna lilla?

 

[Genghis]

Faisal does seem to score crutial runs every now and then. At the moment I would select him ahead of Misbah and Malik. Well played!

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Faisall talking to Obrien lol

 

[Vegitto1]

they cnt manage 143ks how do they plan to handle 150ks in Australia!

 

[JeeraBlade]

Another UGLY shot from Faisal - gets away with it again

Just trying to push the run rate, me thinks.

 

[insaaniyat]

He is a diamond in the ruff. Most aren't able to watch the glaze of that diamond as it's not polished yet.

hey bablu, good stay here and cheer for pakistan. I know a tough request but I know you can do it

 

[Momo]

He is a diamond in the ruff. Most aren't able to watch the glaze of that diamond as it's not polished yet.

He took eight years to get 1000 runs. I hope his 'polishing' is complete by the time he has 3000 runs under his belt (in 16 more years).

 

[insaaniyat]

Just trying to push the run rate, me thinks.

we should wait till around 15 overs left
