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

[insaaniyat]

Aamir looks lost really. Something is wrong. I have seen him a lot energetic

 

[saqlain]

We want a good match here. I want NZ to go after the target and that is what the test cricket is all about.

 

[Random Aussie]

Wooo this series keeps giving the entertainment....

34/0 they are going to go for it.

Which Pakistan fielder is going to drop this match? Bets?

 

[imshally81]

draw for sure

 

[Oxy]

35-0

173 to win

 

[dhump]

draw for sure

seems like nz is winning this one

 

[imshally81]

kaneria on the attack
last hope for pak

 

[saj001]

Team in Huddle

 

[Oxy]

Dani coming on

 

[daghetto]

kaneria already on


lets see what he can do!

 

[Inswinger]

Watling is going to get out soon. He's getting impatient.

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Kaneria into attack

 

[kasoo10]

I think NZ is going for it. And they are well on their way. Pakistan has to get a couple of wickets to set NZ on backfoot, else we are loosing it.

 

[Kamranz]

Wicket Cm'on!

 

[saj001]

Come on Dani lets do this

 

[saqlain]

I think all three results are possible. However, looking at the scoreboard, momentum is with NZ the way they are playing.

 

[kasoo10]

Possibly last over before tea.

 

[daghetto]

lol crowd bitching at pak

 

[Kamranz]

Imran Farhat can bowl off-spinners why not use him also?

 

[Oxy]

Stop crying commentators (and 3 people in crowd)

 

[ahsan17]

*** is McMillan crying about. Remember last game where NZ were doing the same thing and they were applauding them for it.

 

[Kamranz]

Stop crying commentators (and 3 people in crowd)

What r they saying?

 

[JeeraBlade]

Well kept, Kami!

 

[dhump]

awww thats not the spirit wasting time.

 

[Big Mac]

Unless he hit it that looked very close

 

[Oxy]

What r they saying?

Asking Rudi to step in - field placing taking time

 

[daghetto]

review!
please be outttttttttt!

 

[Oxy]

Looks very close

 

[dhump]

any chance of rain ?

 

[Oxy]

Not out

 

[Big Mac]

Hmmm, maybe just clipping offstump so not out.

 

[kasoo10]

Is DK getting turn? Does pitch has rough patches?

 

[daghetto]

wasted, again..

 

[Kamranz]

So our Review is used up now also?

 

[Oxy]

Martin Crowe accusing Pak team of sending signals!!!

And its Inti in front of the laptop

HAHA

 

[saj001]

Good over

 

[Kamranz]

Danni and Asif always waste our Referrals.

 

[Random Aussie]

Martin Crowe accusing Pak team of sending signals!!!

And its Inti in front of the laptop

HAHA

Bowl ball at stumps

 

[insaaniyat]

one left i think

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

Stupid decision to take the review

 

[Oxy]

I think I'll call it quits - tape it & watch it later

43-0

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Gul should be on.

 

[Kamranz]

I think I'll call it quits - tape it & watch it later

43-0

Me too ZzzZzz

 

[insaaniyat]

I think I'll call it quits - tape it & watch it later

43-0

it would be a draw anyway. you might as well get some sleep

 

[Kamranz]

Getting Dark eyes now...GMT is wrong

 

[kasoo10]

164 required in 31 overs.

 

[Oxy]

I dont see anything other than a Kiwi win

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Aamer will get injured. Take him off.

 

[insaaniyat]

I dont see anything other than a Kiwi win

ney

 

[shane]

Aamer's promise appears to be petering out, like some sort of Indian trundler. He looks horribly innocuous.

 

[Rizie]

NZ crusing atm

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

8 off the over. It is either draw or NZ will take it

 

[kasoo10]

I dont see anything other than a Kiwi win

Me too.

 

[luvthegame]

whats going on...bad pak bowling...

 

[Kamranz]

Test matches are tough, his only 17.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

160 runs in a session.......you need sehwag for that.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Come on Pakistan!

 

[Gollum]

Aamer's promise appears to be petering out, like some sort of Indian trundler. He looks horribly innocuous.

It has been an ordinary series for him with the ball barring a couple of spells. But he is young and will mature.

 

[JeeraBlade]

160 runs in a session.......you need sehwag for that.

Pakistan once made 167 to win a test in 25 overs.

Horrible? Everyone has a bad game someday. He's probally beating himself down due to the poor shot he made against vettori.

 

[kasoo10]

They have scored cautious 46 in 12 overs. Another 162 required in 30 overs.

NZ win is the only outcome.

 

[Gollum]

I think NZ will have a real go at it. They still have McCullum, Taylor and Vettori sitting on the bench. We have got to choke the runs that are coming so freely at the moment.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Started off well BUT then its sort of went a little bit pear shaped - NZ are doing quite well now

Yousuf is the key here - its his field placings that can save the game for us

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

That was a long time ago. Plus Danish will hopefully strangle the Kiwis down.

 

[asadee]

defensive strategy by Moyo

 

[insaaniyat]

It has been an ordinary series for him with the ball barring a couple of spells. But he is young and will mature.

I hope he does. He is a bright prospect. He seems to be concentrating on his batting more, could that be the reason?

 

[Saint29]

Why wont it rain when u needed the most i cant take this any more
Please God Have mercy

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

They have scored cautious 46 in 12 overs. Another 162 required in 30 overs.

NZ win is the only outcome.

Not really. A draw is still on the cards here.

 

[FAHAD KHAN]

Why arent we bowling negatively right now... They need to bowl down the legside, bowl 2 bouncers so the batsman has a hard time touching the ball ...Kaneria needs to come round the wicket too to do some negative bowling .. They seem to forget this is a test match.. I think thats the only way we can draw this game.

 

[Gollum]

I'm hopeful of Kaneria but the umpires will take away the LBW factor. It will be an uphill battle from here, but draw is still on for sure.

 

[luvthegame]

pak bowler not bowling like nz..keeping tight line and bowl either at stumps or on off to make batsman play....

 

[McBoom]

Just tuned in and what the hell??

Why are there no slips?

Why are so many fielders saving boundaries?

Why are there no fielders saving the singles?

What pathetic captaincy is this?

 

[qaiser]

Aamer's promise appears to be petering out, like some sort of Indian trundler. He looks horribly innocuous.

I agree. he has a test match ave of 41.
maybe talented but nowhere close to wasim, waqar
and he is probably 22-23 not 17

?????? ??????

 

[qaiser]

wasted a referral.

need to have a slip all the time for pace bowler.
forget about winning. do what vettori would do. play negatively.

 

[Gollum]

I'll be really really disappointed if we lose from here. We will go into Australia series with our heads down, and that is a far far tougher tour.

 

[McBoom]

One team has already accepted defeat in their minds.

And its not New Zealand.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

.............

Yousuf is the key here - its his field placings that can save the game for us

Better his field placings than his fielding, eh?

 

[luvthegame]

nz have to score 5.40 an over consistently to win this match...If pak bowls tight and dani bowls some good googlies..it will be very hard for them...

 

[161]

think nz are gonna win this.
