Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Nov 16-20, 2018 | Day 4 Thread

[Amjid Javed]

No stupid shots needed from captain here!

 

[Mamoon]

Babar is the new MoYo in more than one way.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

This innings will give Azhar some much needed confidence.

that runout will takeout all the confidence which he gathered

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Just 24 runs needed now. Surely no collapse now...

 

[Usman Chadda]

The state of Pakistan fans. We are panicking with five wickets in hand and 24 runs to get )

 

[Stewie]

I swear Babar looks twice the batsman compared to others even thought he got out cheap .. its so frustrating how he keeps underperforming in trsts..

 

[Fahdi]

Bit of a brain fade from Babar but he did call for Azhar to stop. Azhar kept running.

Babar could have gone back and let Azhar get out.....

 

[AAli98]

The state of Pakistan fans. We are panicking with five wickets in hand and 24 runs to get )

Not really its just 2 poor teams playing out a poor test match.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol invariable bounce

 

[Mamoon]

If we somehow manage to muck this up, it will be as ugly as the collapse against South Africa in the first ODI in 2013, which was the ugliest collapse since the fifth ODI against South Africa in 2007.

 

[Amjid Javed]

No more suicidal runs please!

 

[Shams123]

Babar could have easily gone back to the crease but he chose not to. This proves that he is not selfish.

 

[Stewie]

O *******

 

[Stewie]

Thats out

 

[castortroy]

Looks out

 

[Stewie]

Must have touched the glove somewhere.. it has to have..

 

[angrypathan]

Doesn't look good, suicidal shot from Sarfraz 2nd innings in a row

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is it out?

 

[castortroy]

Seriously what is wrong with this team mentally when chasing small targets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Captain choking as usual!

 

[Stewie]

Yup!!

 

[castortroy]

Yep out

A team like India would have lost one wicket in chasing this down where we are taking it down to the wire

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Out Sarfraz

 

[ARK Rafay]

no glove involved.

 

[Mamoon]

Time for bakhts to do their usual bhangra. At least they have the second Test vs Australia to fall back on this time.

 

[hayder ali]

Pakistan at its best

 

[shariqnoor]

Now the problem is Azhar can't even rotate the strike because the other batsmen are duds.

 

[castortroy]

Out sweeping again.

If Azhar goes here then it's all over

 

[Stewie]

We are olaying like SA in world cup knockout matches.

 

[ARK Rafay]

If Pakistan lose this. Sarfraz should be sacked ASAP

 

[angrypathan]

Sarfraz is a choker of the highest order, choked during the must win game against Sri Lanka in the Champions trophy too but Amir and the Sri Lankan fielders carried him through

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Typical 'cameo' from Sarfaraz

 

[AAli98]

Useless captain cant bat ..made Haris bowl yesterday when Hasan should have been bowling now those extra 25 runs....

 

[Stewie]

Azhar just has to score a double and a single off the last ball of each over.. piece of cake!!!

 

[Khan12]

Thanks to azhar we lost Babar and sarfraz proving again why he is the most useless player in this team. Can't wait for him be thrown out.

 

[Theo_14]

Yasir Shah will save Pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wow , 50 50 now

 

[Stewie]

Saifi always wants to bat like miandad... bhai you aint miandad.. !!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even if there wasn't glove, that would've been lbw i think.

 

[castortroy]

Asif looks like a complete dud with the bat so can't see him lasting long

 

[BDfanforever]

30-40 more runs would have made this match really interesting.

 

[Shafi]

What's wrong with Azhar? We were on course of winning before the run out. Such a mentally handicap players we have in our team

 

[Mamoon]

Order has been restored for Sarfraz after the fluke knocks against Australia in the second Test. Painfully mediocre batsman.

 

[Stewie]

Boukt wants an over now!!!

 

[BDfanforever]

What's wrong with Azhar? We were on course of winning before the run out. Such a mentally handicap players we have in our team

If not for Azhar, Pak could've lost the game by now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Had NZ got a lead of 250 it would have been shambles for Pakistan.

They would be really kicking themselves if they had only got another 70-80 it would have been more fun.

 

[Shafi]

As a tailender Azhar should sacrifice his wicket for team's sake

 

[Ahmed216]

Sarfraz captain sahab cant handle pressure of 25 runs.
Pathetic , shameful

 

[Stewie]

What's wrong with Azhar? We were on course of winning before the run out. Such a mentally handicap players we have in our team

I dont like him much but it was not his fault.. it was his call. His danger end.. babar was ball watching..

 

[Madplayer]

Saifi always wants to bat like miandad... bhai you aint miandad.. !!

Taifi bhai out to gaye tya

 

[BDfanforever]

Order has been restored for Sarfraz after the fluke knocks against Australia in the second Test. Painfully mediocre batsman.

He has won you an ICC tournament trophy, no?

 

[castortroy]

Asif might as well go for the slog. He isn't going to last otherwise

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bring on Boult vs Bilal

 

[AAli98]

Yasir Shah will save Pakistan.

If your number 8 is going to save you what are the top 7 getting paid for?

 

[castortroy]

Omg what kind of shot was that

 

[Arham_PakFan]

What the hell Bilal

 

[Mamoon]

He has won you an ICC tournament trophy, no?

That cow has been milked to the last drop.

 

[Madplayer]

If your number 8 is going to save you what are the top 7 getting paid for?

To fill up numbers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bilal Aijaz is enough for him!

 

[BDfanforever]

Oh no, Pak loose another wicket. What is happening?

 

[castortroy]

Only team pak can mentally collapse like this

 

[Shafi]

We are loosing!!!!! Azhar can hide non-strike end. Bilal needs to go

 

[Mamoon]

How many fake all-rounders do we actually have?

 

[angrypathan]

You've got to be joking me Bilal. That's Shannon Gabriel-esque level stuff. Unbelievable. Deserves to be dropped permanently based on this shot alone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Omg what kind of shot was that

You asked for it!

 

[tahir_dj]

wow rammez seriously have a black tounge
he said what if Pakistan loose 3 quick wickets and it happened @

 

[Madplayer]

Billy the kid

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pathetic, New zealand should win this game from here now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Herath bowling on 4th day

 

[castortroy]

Azhar will have to play some shots here

These tailenders won't last

 

[Fahdi]

Thank-you Azhar Ali for that runout!

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Babar was looking so good. We love to put ourselves in a hole. Its all FUN guys.

 

[Stewie]

Azhar.. farm the damn strike, ***********

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How many fake all-rounders do we actually have?

1000's no?

 

[mrtaim3]

Oh God!

 

[Hitman]

Gone!

 

[Usman Chadda]

) ) )

 

[castortroy]

Another one gone

 

[iRfaN_LA]

22 runs is like 200 now. Yasir shah gone and he is reviewing it.

 

[angrypathan]

Well, immediate review gives me hope
