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

[JibranAnsari]

NZ have shown what wining mentality can do to a team! Really wonderful exhibition.

 

[JibranAnsari]

28 overs 139/1 r.r 4.96

 

[Shafi]

That's the reason ICC never give us 5 test series. We can hardly cope 2 tests series but after that we loose control in all sections of test (Batting/Bowling/Fielding). Our spin bowling looks worse than Bangladesh A team let alone Shakib, Razzak, Sunny, Jabair, Mahmudullah. Our best bowler Rahat is not better than even Mashrafee. Our batting is equally worse 2 tuk tuks (Misbah, Azhar), 1 hit and miss player ( Hafeez), 1 hack (Shan), 2 decent but not great players (Younis and Sarfraz) and 1 average player (Shafiq) and 4 miserable tailender who hardly can score and 1 Robot head coach (Waqar). So its obivious!!!!

 

[Mamoon]

What happened to the new golden era in Pakistan cricket?

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis in very strong position , they have got the runs , and got them fast.

 

[Justcrazy]

What happened to the new golden era in Pakistan cricket?

The bubble burst .

 

[dhump]

The bubble burst .

What happened to the new golden era in Pakistan cricket?

Pakistan didnt even lost yet so save something for that possibility.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its OK guys , our next test assignment is not until October next year. We would have forgotten the thrashing by then.

 

[Justcrazy]

Best Pakistan can hope is for Draw.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Talha is the kind of bowler that you watch him bowl a few deliveries and you know he is ordinary.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Pakistan get some quick wickets.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Best Pakistan can hope is for Draw.

With 238 overs left in the game , I doubt this will happen.

Even if NZ bats another 50 overs , Pakistan will have to survive at least 150 more overs to give them a difficult chase.

 

[JibranAnsari]

400 up in 79 overs. Wow!

 

[Justcrazy]

400 runs up for Kiwis

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan though have good memory of the last test match they played here , they chased an almost impossible total on day 5 pitch. May be they can remember this and bat with some positive intent in the second innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

has been really poor.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Take new ball , i want to see talha bowl again.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan should always blood in the guys in early twenties as our players learn in the international field.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 52 runs .

 

[Saurav]

Why are they batting so slow after lunch?

 

[Asif321]

had last wicket not put on 81 in that last game , series also would have been gone. we have played rubbish in both games

 

[Justcrazy]

Kane looking like he will bat another 10 days

 

[Asif321]

another double.centurion coming

 

[Asif321]

yas and baba will.also.score double.century

 

[Justcrazy]

New ball taken by Pakistan . Last try .

 

[Anchorman]

Waqar Younis reincarnated is back into the attack.

 

[Asif321]

Ashok Dinda is back

 

[leatherface58]

Lol if Rosco won't score, Talha will bowl no balls to concede runs. Hilariously bad stuff. )

 

[Asif321]

Talha bhai knocking stumps

 

[Mamoon]

Talha ER 8.3 in Tests.

 

[Asif321]

i thought Talha bowls at 145

 

[leatherface58]

Talha scores his ton conceding a beautiful boundary to Kane.

 

[dhump]

Beautiful talha just in 12 overs got to 100.

 

[Asif321]

why do.our fast bowlers make false claims

 

[dhump]

New ball taken.

 

[Mamoon]

Ton for Talha in 13 overs.

 

[Friend786]

This Talha guy is bloddy shameless , no remorse on his face whats so ever.

 

[Asif321]

Learn Azhar how williamson bats . you will take 4 days to.score 161

 

[Anchorman]

Talha has just been stellar in this test. Move over Vinay Kumar, there's a new sheriff in town!

 

[leatherface58]

Even Rahat getting carted around. Never seen this Williamson before. Certainly won't mind seeing him again.

 

[Asif321]

torture

 

[Mamoon]

Trash bowling by Rahat as usual.

 

[Friend786]

What is misbah trying to achieve by bowling talha?

 

[Shafi]

PCB better stick with 2 test series only.

 

[Lords]

Are we doing to see another double ton today?

BTW cannot believe this talha guy got smacked for 100 in just 12 overs. Thats bad even in ODIs

 

[Anchorman]

"Some chew it for conentration, some chew it....because they like it, I guess!" Wonderful insight by Ramiz.

 

[leatherface58]

Rosco damn it! Don't let Talha bowl a maiden.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

wow four dots in a row from talha

 

[Saurav]

Ashok Dinda is back

Don't insult the legend

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Maiden from sir Talha. What a legend!

 

[Asif321]

hahah Babar's face

 

[dhump]

Now I have seen everything Talha just bowled a maiden over.... be prepared NZ things are about to change completely.

 

[Anchorman]

Even Rahat getting carted around. Never seen this Williamson before. Certainly won't mind seeing him again.

Did you see him in the CLT20? He was absolutely unreal. That's when I knew that there's not a format this guy can't play.

 

[Friend786]

This is some apocalyptic stuff , maiden by talha. WOW

 

[Space Cat]

Talha got his 100 in 72 balls lmao.

 

[Anchorman]

Talha, you beauty! :')

 

[leatherface58]

Did you see him in the CLT20? He was absolutely unreal. That's when I knew that there's not a format this guy can't play.

He was great there but never seen him this aggressive in tests. Still not slogging or playing wild shots. This is a new side of him and I'm pretty sure sign of new things to come.

 

[Asif321]

good farewell.for misbah

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Babar will reach to his 200 before NZ declare.

 

[Friend786]

How the heck we got out so easily on this pitch is just beyond me? Absolutely nothing in this pitch for the bowlers.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

8 dots in a row now. Talha to get a wicket!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sanity returns. boundary off talha

 

[Anchorman]

Somebody needs to start a "Predict when Talha will get his first wicket" thread!

 

[Shafi]

BB McCullum can score 200 against our mediocre bowling line up in ODI!!!

 

[Friend786]

Short ball and 4. Story of talha's bowling.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Get Hafeez and azhar to bowl now. give the boys a rest

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

100 run partnership in 27 overs
100 run lead
47 overs remaining in day, potentially NZ will lead by 300 at stumps.
Total decimation.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

RR is 5+ again.

 

[desi_launda]

Kiwis lead by 103

 

[Friend786]

Misbah Captaincy's mode : Sleeping.

 

[leatherface58]

Misbah Captaincy's mode : Sleeping.

That's also probably his whatsapp status.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lead of 108 and 8 wickets left.

 

[Executioner]

@ scorecard

BTW i am happy with NZ's performance. Pakistan should kick themselves hard for scoring only 340 among which 197 was from Sir Lord Hafeez

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good bouncer by Talha.

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

No ball

 

[NZcricketfan]

Talha you absolute legend

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No ball ) .

 

[Aman]

No ball )

 

[Aman]

Pakistan don't want Rosco to miss out on a double

 

[Random Aussie]

So I gather Mr I am consistently over 145kph is not as he says?
