Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd Test- Day 5 | Napier | 15/12/09

[z2_daredevil]

there isn't much difference between a lose and draw but a big difference between a win and lose so we should at least try to get the win and if we lose a wicket we can just play slowly.

boy some one needs to put some sense in u

loosing=draw wow wat a logic

 

[Afridi_Fan]

is even boring me, forget the Kiwis.

 

[Inswinger]

The umpires won't let it go on for longer.

 

[saj001]

What is misbah doing?

to remember once he was our t20 hero

 

[Zaz]

We gotta make sure of the draw first thats priority, that we dont lose

 

[ahsanib]

Can someone please introduce Misbah to the concept of a "single"? He's like Razzaq, he knows only two gears.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Even attacking shots are not going outside the circle.

 

[ali110]

Oh man, this guys is ****ing annoying. either tuk tuk or back to the dressing room......This is so frustrating. I can udnerstand his desire to make his JAGGA PAKKI for the next match but at least you shitty selfish player, try to take a God damn single.

 

[don1990]

358/4
lead 110

 

[azfar wali]

boy some one needs to put some sense in u

loosing=draw wow wat a logic

Dude all i am saying is that we should at least try for a win rather than just go for the draw, we should never aim for the draw aim for the win and the draw will come.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

O Khuda key liye. Single tu lo

 

[uzy99]

i hate our approach on the last day.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Jr got hit on the gloves

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar gets struck on the hand

 

[Zaz]

Dude all i am saying is that we should at least try for a win rather than just go for the draw, we should never aim for the draw aim for the win and the draw will come.

errrr no!

If we aim for the win from here we ll prob end up losing

 

[don1990]

2 runs for jr akmal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Couple to Jr

 

[On_the_up]

Misbah 7 off 54, cure for insomnia

 

[z2_daredevil]

man dont forget this is pakistan we can still lose the match (khudanakhasta)

a series drawn is better than a series lost i mean who would ve thought we would be in this position after the first day

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So Misbah is definitely playing for a draw here!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

112/4

 

[On_the_up]

360-4

 

[12thMan]

If taking singles was in the PCB rule book Pakistan would be 75+ runs more by now. I am just taking one single per over here

 

[saj001]

Misbah 7 off 54, cure for Afridi_Fan

Fixed

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So Misbah is definitely playing for a draw here!

Man you are a genius.

 

[ali110]

Another maider over to Misbah coming up, no wonder test cricket is dying art with these shitty, selfish and useless players.

 

[jalex382]

Obrien just knoced of the bails on the non striking end, dont you all think it should be called a no ball or a dead ball right of way, coz it can cause problem to batsmen's concentration. what do you guys think about that?

 

[kingusama92]

Misbah's batting is boring the heck out of me. I mean he's knocked the excitement right out of me. At least try taking singles.

 

[Seen Sheen]

issed:

 

[uzy99]

I wish we had some cojones to try to win. I mean "you play to win the game, you play to win the game" effing idiots.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So Pak will probably play out the whole day then like this!

 

[Zaz]

Misbah needs to get singles, jeez occupying crease aint good enough a few runs will mean nz have to get them 2

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Fixed

)

I was expecting that from InSwinger

 

[Mohsin]

Knew it...days plan was play for the draw

 

[On_the_up]

9 runs in the last 10 overs.

 

[khanlala]

misbah sucks big time....


he can't do it at the high level anymore..time to axe him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah's batting is boring the heck out of me. I mean he's knocked the excitement right out of me. At least try taking singles.

He cant as he's thinking of new innovative ways of getting out!

 

[IMMY69]

someone should tell misbah that by not scoring the pressure just remains on pakistan!!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

issed:

Oh man, exactly what everyone who is watching must be feeling that way.

 

[iHammad]

Misbah 7(60)*

issed:

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Knew it...days plan was play for the draw

Moyo had even said that for the 1st test aswell!

 

[161]

These two are really going slow - also raining right now

Vettori and the NZ bowlers are also being defensive.

Not challenging the batsmen at all.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Vettori coming on himself

 

[don1990]

vettori comes on.....

 

[Zaz]

I wish we had some cojones to try to win. I mean "you play to win the game, you play to win the game" effing idiots.

Yeah when ur in a position 2 win, but if ur in a position to lose which we still are u play 2 draw

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Vettori Vs Jr

 

[daghetto]

so you guys think they are playing for a draw now?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

*Misbah-ul-Haq (rhb) 7 58 0 0 12.06 l

is it wrong to hope Misbah goes so Akmals can force result ?

 

[don1990]

Najam from the US is a pragmatist: "Pakistan need not to show any heroics, just bat through all day without declaration"

 

[ali110]

now it's pray time. I hope He gets out next ball so that we can have some excited cricket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

9 runs in the last 10 overs.

Pak finally playing some test cricket!

 

[12thMan]

Misbah 7(60)*

issed:

Reminds me of the Razzaq's innings. It was like 4 off 60 some balls???

 

[Zaz]

is it wrong to hope Misbah goes so Akmals can force result ?

yeah, very wrong

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Last 10 ovs 9/0 RR 0.90

 

[saj001]

Stylish single by umar

now msibah gonna block 5 balls

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Jr takes a single. Time for misbah to show his defensive technique

 

[Zaz]

now it's pray time. I hope He gets out next ball so that we can have some excited cricket.

shame on you. cos we can still lose the game

 

[IMMY69]

The best way to ensure a draw is to score some damn runs!!!!!!!

 

[saj001]

he is not even trying to get a single

 

[12thMan]

shame on you. cos we can still lose the game

No we cannot. Our batsmen are yet to come

 

[saj001]

Brendon : Just 2 wickets we can win , score's not ticking over

 

[shafkath]

'Thirteen runs in about 50 minutes of play so far, four of them edged through slip. Vettori takes over from O'Brien' cricinfo not impressed, oh what a shame

 

[Zaz]

wot a horrible shot

 

[saj001]

Oh my God

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There you go

The prayers of some PPers have been heard!!

 

[Inswinger]

McCullum trying to counter Misbah by keeping the fielders awake.

 

[azfar wali]

3rd umpire

 

[ali110]

oh yes, we did it.

 

[Big Mac]

****s sake Misbah, think that's out

 

[ahsanib]

Annnnnnd that's what happens when you block 60 balls.

 

[cricketpassion]

Misbah Out .

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is he? Yes he is out

 

[Zaz]

abysmal shot, absolute atrocious

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Gone!

 

[pak4life]

this tuk tuk simply means we are in the same position we were 50 mins ago

 

[Inswinger]

There goes Misbah.

 

[kingusama92]

Misbah gone. Honestly I feel better, anything is better then the rubbish he was serving us.

 

[sali]

so, whats the use of blocking for last one hour?

 

[McBoom]

Either if they are trying to draw the damn match, they still have to put a score on the board.

Misbah with his brain farts can get out anytime.


just as I type, Misbah plays a dreadful stroke.

 

[Zaz]

tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk big shot out
