[Cricket_Engineer]

Sarfraz is a better FTB than Pujara and Kohli combined

 

[hur rizvi]

Yasir shah

 

[hur rizvi]

Sarfraz is a better FTB than Pujara and Kohli combined

He's good but not that good, Never judge players in their purple patch

 

[zabalestmsm]

Thats more like it!

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Actually jokes aside Yasir Shah is better than Shan Masood unsurprisingly ) )

 

[zabalestmsm]

What a brilliant sweep shot by Sarfaraz!

 

[aukhan]

Yesterday's day off really break the whole momentum.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis would be happy to keep Pakistan down to 400 here.

 

[akamaka]

nothing ball. gifting wickets here.

 

[zabalestmsm]

What is happening?

 

[hur rizvi]

Sarfraz fails

4 wickets for Craig

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz averaging over 46 !!!

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

Okay with that guys I am going to bed, was awake all night doing coursework and now it is time for me to sleep

 

[Justcrazy]

Craig has a great chance to get a 5 fer here

 

[zabalestmsm]

Lazy cricket all around!

 

[hur rizvi]

400 looks a distant dream now

 

[Asif321]

Craig bhai taking alm the revenge

 

[akamaka]

this is why i like sarfraz, edges, doesn't even look at the umpire , just walk off

 

[zabalestmsm]

The pitch is turning a lot!

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

I told you guys Pakistan is gifting this match to kiwis to make them feel happy, what a gift it will be for them.

 

[Ahson8]

Both teams look disinterested.

 

[JibranAnsari]

and the oxygen gets out.

So every chance of getting all out before 350.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis will look to bundle Pakistan here quickly

 

[akamaka]

umpire doesn't even know if NZ are appealing

 

[NZcricketfan]

Damn you Pakistan. You have ensured Craig gets another test.

 

[hur rizvi]

Tailenders should slog, They wont survive long here

NZ can win this match if they get 100 run lead here

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Pakistan needs to slog some runs here , they will not last long , better get some runs.

 

[hur rizvi]

Looks close

 

[aukhan]

as i said day off killed the whole momentum for our team.

 

[Anchorman]

Credit to NZ as they have bowled really well today, all things considered and it's actually the Pakistani batsmen who have lost their wickets due to a lack of concentration.

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

Pak will lose 7 wickets on a session on this Road against hobbits, you guys are no more best FTB team, that title is back with us, india won't ever lose 7 wickets in a session on this type of pitch vs this type of bowling line, not even in your dreams.

 

[Justcrazy]

Talha and yasir both average 7.5 in Test

 

[akamaka]

umpires call, if you don't hear a nick in this empty ground then you never will

 

[NZcricketfan]

Chris martin did have India 5/15 on this type of pitch.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great session for the hobbits 55/4 in 29 overs.

 

[Asif321]

our players being lazy today

 

[hur rizvi]

They have bowled decently, but almost all wickets today have been thrown away

 

[Savak]

Nope, no lack of concentration. Only misbah ul haq being allowed to dictate his usual tactics yet again

Shafiq should be replaced by Haris Sohail for next series. He is a complete dud.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis loose review !!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Nah this is mother of flat pitches...

Extremely poor batting here

5 wickets for Craig

 

[Savak]

Only Pakistan could have gifted craig five wickets

[Asif321]

Craig with 5 wow

 

[leatherface58]

5-fer for Craig!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq must take more responsibility, sarfraz can not save us every time.

 

[hur rizvi]

Next series is almost an year away

 

[Justcrazy]

5 fer for Craig

 

[JibranAnsari]

Worst tail ever, and the sad thing is Talha is a nothing bowler.

 

[JibranAnsari]

One of the worst off spinners takes 5fer against us , I am not surprised.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shafiq must take more responsibility, sarfraz can not save us every time.

He is refined version of Azhar.

Has more shots , but cannot go beyond 40s.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Rameez Raja on Talha's dismissal, " What was he thinking? He wasn't thinking of course!" LOL ha ha

 

[hur rizvi]

NZ with a chance to dismiss us for less than 350...

a 100 run lead would win the match for NZ

 

[Justcrazy]

Cam Pakistan crawl to 350 here ?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yasir must play aggressively now to at least take the score till 400!

 

[Kakar]

Why exactly has Zulfiqar Babar been demoted to numbr 11? To me, he is a better batsman than all the other three tailenders.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Surviving wont do the trick here!

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir needs to slog here.

 

[hur rizvi]

Hahaa did you not watch LAst match, he is afraid of the ball and walks away from the ball

 

[Cricket_Engineer]

The Misbah mentality in the camp is if you stay and block then runs will magically come.

 

[Justcrazy]

339 / 8

Need some more runs.

 

[Kakar]

Hahaa did you not watch LAst match, he is afraid of the ball and walks away from the ball

So just because of one delivery, he should bat at 11 now? What kind of logic is that? He averages more than twice of what Talha and Rahat average in first class.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Thats the way to go Yasir! Good attitude shown!

 

[Savak]

Yes on a platter automatically

sarfraz and Yk fail for the first time, and we are struggling *surprise, surprise*

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir 19 runs .

 

[hur rizvi]

He was doing the same against Australia too, any player who walks away from the ball doesnt deserve to bat anywhere other than 11

 

[zabalestmsm]

Seems like Rahat's bat is elastic lol!

 

[hur rizvi]

350 on this pitch is equivalent to 200, Perfect chance for NZ to win the series

 

[Asif321]

Boring day

 

[Justcrazy]

Vettori gets 1 wicket

Craig 5 wickets !!!

Give it a rest mate

 

[hur rizvi]

9 down

and 6 to Craig

 

[NZcricketfan]

Cheers for that commentators curse Brian lol

 

[badsha001]

there u go

 

[zabalestmsm]

This batting is not acceptable!

 

[Justcrazy]

sixth for Craig !!!

 

[Savak]

Bizarre approach unfortunately. No intent, nothing, the pitch is flat as well and gifting a nothing bowler like craig 6 wickets is nothing short of criminal

[Justcrazy]

What is happening ?

Is Craig bowling like Swan or parsanna ?

 

[akamaka]

sixth for Craig !!!

 

[Ahson8]

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure the players are not 100% right now. And can't blame them either. Won't be surprised if NZ fold early as well.
