Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd Test | Nov 26 - Dec 1, 2014 | Sharjah | Day 2

[NZcricketfan]

it has not turned any way. its the third day already. to score 450 and take a substantial lead, NZ will have to bat today and tomorrow full day. then they would be left with 1 day and you cant expect two innings to be completed in one day.

Only the second day. The match was extended an extra day

 

[Sam18696]

Talha giving gifts

 

[Sam18696]

Was that what I think it was?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Talha is such a useless bowler.

Was ehsan adil injured.?

 

[Ikball]

I think long break (one day off) made a big effect on this match, Pakistani batsmen lost the temp.

 

[Ikball]

Edit : Tempo

 

[Ikball]

Talha is such a useless bowler.

Was ehsan adil injured.?

Yes

 

[JibranAnsari]

And I wonder why sadaf hussain cant be played , can he do any worse than rahat talha or sami?

 

[leatherface58]

Bowling bouncers hmm...

 

[ares1000]

This is shaping possibly into a beating. That collapse was shocking. NZ looking smooth - I can only imagine the 'rest day' broke any momentum Pak had.

We could be in deep doodoo here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

So kiwis arent letting their mood affect their batting?

 

[hur rizvi]

Nz have perfect chance to make it 1-1, you wont be in a better position that after losing toss

 

[Barragan]

LOL

The super phasst bowler is going at 7 rpo. )

 

[JibranAnsari]

New Zealand will be 5 down before 100.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol zulfi getting some treatment.

 

[ares1000]

Obviously B Mac isnt affected.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol express pacer talha being treated with zero respect.

 

[hur rizvi]

New Zealand will be 5 down before 100.

On this pitch no chance

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Now zulfi as well.

 

[leatherface58]

Woah Macca!

 

[NZcricketfan]

Obviously B Mac isnt affected.

Won't find a tougher guy in international cricket.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Imran Khan was the better option than Talha!

 

[Ahson8]

We might lose this game, the way things are going.

 

[akamaka]

we be getting flogged.

 

[Savak]

I think long break (one day off) made a big effect on this match, Pakistani batsmen lost the temp.

You continue to make excuses for Misbah ul Haq, his captaincy and his tactics

 

[leatherface58]

Man wrist slitters/jinxers out in full force. We are prone to collapses. The leggie is yet to bowl.

 

[akamaka]

You continue to make excuses for Misbah ul Haq, his captaincy and his tactics

give it a rest, it wasn't just misbah. A collective batting failure, they took it way too easy.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

It's only day 2 people...

 

[Lords]

Bradz is in a different mood today

 

[Swanny]

B. Mac has got his 35 runs. Now he will get out.

 

[hur rizvi]

what a catch sarfraz

 

[Anchorman]

Sarfaraz takes a beauty.

 

[akamaka]

what a catch by Sarfraz

 

[Genghis]

There's the wicket.

 

[Anchorman]

Timely wicket too. Maybe McCullum will slow down now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz takes one for a change.

 

[akamaka]

Timely wicket too. Maybe McCullum will slow down now.

Remember NZ have nothing to lose in this game. A draw does nothing for them. I think Mccullum will keep going like this and rightly so.

 

[Ikball]

You continue to make excuses for Misbah ul Haq, his captaincy and his tactics

Yousaf bhai, Please have some cricketing sense. Dont be biased Yousaf bhai. It was collective batting failure, nothing about captaincy or tactics.

 

[leatherface58]

You continue to make excuses for Misbah ul Haq, his captaincy and his tactics

His captaincy and tactics have you unbeaten for the last four tests. Stop whinging.

 

[hur rizvi]

another

 

[junaid.ahmed]

superb catch

 

[NZcricketfan]

Timely wicket too. Maybe McCullum will slow down now.

lol

 

[Ikball]

You continue to make excuses for Misbah ul Haq, his captaincy and his tactics

Yousaf bhai, with same captaincy and tactics Misbah ul haq white washed aussies 2-0 and is 1-0 ahead in this test.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Too much aggression from NZ. Should cut it down a notch.

 

[hur rizvi]

Mccullum shouldnt slow down few more quick runs will push Pakistan to a corner

 

[miandadrules]

Yousaf bhai, Please have some cricketing sense. Dont be biased Yousaf bhai. It was collective batting failure, nothing about captaincy or tactics.

Don't worry. The lack of sense isn't restricted or cricket". He also posts on a boxing forum with an equal lack of insight.

 

[Ahson8]

Need to get rid of MCCULLUM and FAST.

 

[Amjid Javed]

McCullum knows that Kiwis have to score quickly and get up and possible above pakistans total as soon as possible to try and force a result, atleast the game is advancing nicely.

Babar has been woeful with the ball so far... kiwis going at powerplay pace at the moment.

 

[hur rizvi]

time for yasir

 

[Swanny]

Bowling short to nz = asking for trouble

McCullum knows that Kiwis have to score quickly and get up and possible above pakistans total as soon as possible to try and force a result, atleast the game is advancing nicely.

Force a result? It is only the second session of day two

exactly Nz have nothing to get from a draw

Good tactics from Baz

 

[hur rizvi]

Force a result? It is only the second session of day two

His defensive game isnt that good, he is right in playing his natural game, Should take inspiration from Taylor in last match

 

[JibranAnsari]

Score 500 and win by an innings.

 

[hur rizvi]

I told you kiwis were just trolling pak by showing their disinterest, now the same somber kiwis are attacking like their is now tommarow, why they aren't going just through the motions and batting slowly?

What a pathetic comment

They are paying to win, yes they were somber in the morning but now it is all about winning the test match

 

[hur rizvi]

Brilliant from Kiwis this

 

[Anchorman]

Absolutely loving the way NZ are batting tbh.

 

[EarthBoltX]

281/3 is a very good position. Sarfaraz was due a failure. Shafiq is garbage. But misbah set the tone as he usually does with his habitual unnecessary tuk tuk

Sent from my SGH-T999V using Tapatalk

Eh? Sarfaraz was due a failure but Misbah after 3 hundreds in 3 innings needed a quad-ton?
What did I expect, though. Contradiction after contradiction.

 

[akamaka]

 

[NZcricketfan]

And people say the New Zealand cricket team is boring.

 

[hur rizvi]

Zulfi being taken to the cleaners

 

[Anchorman]

Williamson is due a big score. Needs to come good today.

 

[hur rizvi]

And people say the New Zealand cricket team is boring.

Infact your new lot has lots of interesting cricketers, in past years though few NZ teams have been quite boring

 

[junaid.ahmed]

I knew that kiwiz were doing drama earlier today & this is the real face

 

[NZcricketfan]

Infact your new lot has lots of interesting cricketers, in past years though few NZ teams have been quite boring

Nathan Astle fastest double century?

 

[hur rizvi]

WoW just WoW

 

[leatherface58]

Macca wants to smash Misbah's record.

 

[Anchorman]

What a shot by McCullum to bring up his 50. Brilliant innings so far.

 

[akamaka]

Ok, Mccullum you scored 50 now get out please 2

 

[hur rizvi]

Nathan Astle fastest double century?

He was an aggressive batsman, but over all your team was a bit boring in mid 90s and early 2000s compared to this line up of McCullum, Taylor, Williamson, anderson and bowling of Southee, Boult etc.

 

[ares1000]

This is carnage.

B Mc is taking the game away from Pak. If he bats a session - my oh my.

 

[hur rizvi]

Try yasir shah and Hafeez for a bit

 

[Ikball]

Mc to score fastest 100 here.

 

[leatherface58]

Macca is aggressive but weird to see Kane batting like in a t20.

 

[hur rizvi]

Kwis have been absolutely clinical today uptil now, if they can keep up the ante till the end, then they will be in super position to level the series

 

[hur rizvi]

why the hell would you continue with Babar

 

[leatherface58]

Danger man is here and smashed lol!

 

[ares1000]

This is T20 scoring from the BCs.

If this continues they'll more or less be at par at stumps and bossing the game.

 

[Shafi]

Pakistan will loose this match by 4 days I guess!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Yasir under attak too
