:facepalm: I can't believe people are pinning this on Talha.
Have a look at Yasir's and Babar's own economy rates. The kingpins of our recent victories as far as bowling is concerned.
The Big Mac has just shown up today and he's not looking like stopping.
 
If he can get McCullum here, we can still get back into the game. Vettori is batting at #7 and is short of test match practice.

They bat till no. 10, even Boult is half decent with the bat

NZ would be disappointed if they wont get 100 lead here
 
Hats off amazing batting by McCullam unbelievable I just checked scoreboard and he is all over Pakistani bowlers. All doubts clear about NZ not taking this game seriously and Pakistanis need to come into right mind if they even want to save this match which atm seems like a distant dream.

Superb knock and Pakistan in for an inning defeat here.
 
I think this will go down in history books as the worst phainty ever in terms of run rate, even our team with our famous trundler brigade can't even dream of having such a phainty!
 
If NZ had a chance to chase down 250 in 65 overs they would have grabbed it with both hands. McCullum has just shut up all excuses of Misbah.
 
Deep trouble here. Big Mac not looking like he is going to stop today. his best knock ever?
 
This is why we still need Ajmal back in the test team. Junaid and Riaz are a must as well.
 
Need to get Talha on and make him bowl short at the batsmen from over the wicket.
 
amazing batting by NZ, crushing Pak team in NZ. 1-1 on cards untill YK, Misbah, Azhar scores 200s.
 
Too many easy singles. Bring the field in and make the bowlers bowl better lines.
 
Due to his doosra,, Ajmal was getting useless. Now he will be a real weapon if he clears tests without doosra.
 
NZ playing out the day can be good for Pakistan too. Come back fresh tomorrow and if we get quick wickets in the morning, we can get back into the game.

Misbah has to motivate his players.
 
Why Misbah is not using part timers :facepalm: Bring on YK and Azhar

McCullum will smash them around. That is why.

Atleast now he is quieting down against the main bowlers, don't need to wake the beast again.
 
Run rate below a run a ball now, negative cricket from the Kiwis ;0
 
Edged and not taken.

Rameez blaming Sarfaraz for an edge that no keeper could have even stopped, forget about catching.

That was regulation catch for keeper.There wasn't even a big deviation either

Bizzare to leave to Younis khan

He didn't leave it for Younis and it wasn't regulation, the ball came way too quickly to even react.
 
Hopefully an important lesson is learnt today. Never take any opponent easily. Ever!

That is just making excuse. This is normal take for keeping to a spinner .Very regulation and both commies agreed as well.

He didn't attempt to take it so if he isn't leaving it is not sure what the thought process was

Like I said, it was too quick for him to even react. The only way he could have taken it is if his gloves were a little to the right. The commies have been advocating against Saffu's keeping and so are all over this.

Very poor stuff by sarfraz, how the hell hobbits are playing so well, any idea guys?

They just are. Its one of those great innings from McCullum. And our bowlers have not showed up.
 
We still have 100 runs to play with. If we can get NZ out and only concede 200 runs tomorrow, its game on.

who were the two commies, both pakis?

McCullum and Williamson looked like they were batting with zero pressure. Almost like they just decided to have a go and play their shots. The bowling has been pretty ordinary. Pakistan looked a shambles towards the end.
 
and stumps.

Horrible day for pakistan.

we scored 70/7 in 35 .4 overs today and they scored 249/1 in 45 overs.
 
NZ trail 102.


Pakistan have to get mccullum early today. We need to come out with a plan today and short stuff isnt one of them. We can not let them get past 400.

Game is gone, there is no chance to dismiss them at less than 475-500
