Pakistan v New Zealand | Napier | 3rd Test - Day 3 | 13/12/09

[Afridi_Fan]

This is advantage Kiwis. We need to get their remaining wickets ASAP. And then just hope our batting line for once can stand up and put a decent score for the bowlers to defend in the 4th innings. The pitch has nothing in it for the bowlers except for a little bounce, which sadly has been our weakness for ages. But I'm hoping that we will play good cricket and will manage a win here. Once again all negativity out of this thread.

Gooooooo Pakistan.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Less than 90 minutes to go.

 

[Inswinger]

Yaar, when do you sleep????

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yaar, when do you sleep????

and work?

 

[Gollum]

I hope we come out with a clear mind and get to the job. Finish them off in an hour or so, and get to batting. The wicket is the easiest you will see in this hemisphere, so we need to take our time and enjoy the batting.

They will probably take 200 run lead. We will probably get to bat 1 1/2 session today, and 3 sessions tomorrow..in that time we have to somehow make 450 runs to set them a target of around 250.

 

[Ali Raja]

if we can restrict their lead to around 150 we are still in the game

 

[insaftak]

I'm expecting another 100 from one of our opening batsman today,

That is the dream scenario.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Butt or Farhat?

 

[tauseefm]

Butt or Farhat?

Afridi, how about u convince ur fav player to play test cricket.. pakistan main reh ker koi to kam ker lay...

i wish he and yk play against aus.

 

[90MPH]

I wouldn't mind Afridi in the Test team at all. His bowling would be more than handy, and I am sure he would score more runs then some of the hopeless batsman we have in our lineup.
But he has to make this decision himself first and make sure he will give full commitment.

[iHammad]

Waqar looking good.

 

[iHammad]

Waqar: Aamer had Dingo Fever couple years ago and that's why when he ate something yesterday he felt ill/sick. But everything is fine now alhamdullilah.

 

[iHammad]

4 minutes still to go.

 

[iHammad]

[kingusama92]

Not Until.. we get them out and Farhat smashes a double century.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We are about to get under way.

 

[90MPH]

I hope Gul stops bowling short, I am getting sick tired of it.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[iHammad]

stream buffering.......

 

[Gollum]

I hope Gul stops bowling short, I am getting sick tired of it.

I hope Waqar brings him to his senses when he starts coaching!

[Afridi_Fan]

This piece of **** vettori annoys me so much.

 

[Khurram]

We not only need wickets but also need to stop runs

 

[cricket_fever]

Not a lot of posters interested in Day 3 eh?

nay, i have given up

 

[90MPH]

Gul keeps bowling short. Its too easy for the NZ batsman on this pitch. When will he learn.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i dont see pak winning this game or drawing it

Oh then why bother watching? Another four to Vettori

 

[shabbu1]

Gul bowling usual pies.

 

[cricket_fever]

This piece of **** vettori annoys me so much.

[Khurram]

[cricket_fever]

Oh then why bother watching? Another four to Vettori

[cricket_fever]

Gul bowling usual pies.

[Afridi_Fan]

Question stands. Why watching then?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

good point bhai, its one o clock in durban, i just cant sleep so thats why i am watching

Fair enough.

 

[cricket_fever]

that bloody over went for 10 runs

btw, if there is no hope can a captain declare that he has given up?

 

[tauseefm]

don't worry guys we have the best coach in the world

 

[90MPH]

drop catch, looks like by Bhanja

 

[iHammad]

Dropped by Faisal?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Inside edge and falls away from fielder.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on guys. He didn't reach that. How can that be termed as drop?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

too defensive in field settings

 

[90MPH]

Come on guys. He didn't reach that. How can that be termed as drop?

You watching the same game. He should have gone with the left hand and it would have been quite easy, but for some odd reason only known to him he went with the right.

 

[offcutter]

extremely harsh on iqbal, that was a very tough catch, even the best fielders would have had a lot of trouble catching that

 

[KA$H]

faisal went for it with teh wrong hand

 

[Free Hit]

excellent batting by vettori, i dont know why people here are not giving him the credt, he has unique style of playing, not technique just like dhoni

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Can someone tell that he once not long ago used to bowl a delivery known as yorker

 

[octavian]

any news on aamer guys?

 

[saj001]

Come on guys. He didn't reach that. How can that be termed as drop?

look at his body position , had he gone with left hand it was sitter

 

[cric]

why aamir or asif not playing? at least runs wiill stop

 

[shabbu1]

Drop catch.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now that is called a drop

 

[cricket_fever]

I just dunno why, but pak is just no more a test team....its sad....remember the good old days, how great imrans cornered tigers onced usetta be.....haaaa we can only wish for those good times to return

depressing

 

[HuZi]

no way paks gonna win here..

 

[shabbu1]

Gul the culprit. Was a tough one but expected at international level

 

[saj001]

now gul drops one

 

[KA$H]

danish bowlin well here - feilders need to back him up

 

[90MPH]

I can't stand the sight of Gul any more. And why does he have this smile when he either bowls poor or drops a catch.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

5 off the over.

 

[shabbu1]

Even Tuffey looks comfortable out there

 

[cricket_fever]

Now that is called a drop

thats the demise of our fielding.....inna lillahi wa inna ilay hi rajioon
