Pakistan vs New Zealand | 3rd Test | Abu Dhabi | Dec 3-7, 2018 | Day 5 Thread

[Shafi]

Told you guys our batsmen are not international material even Haris as well. Need to get rid of Inzi with thi s bunch

 

[style_guru]

I had placed a small bet that Pak shall be 4 wickets down before 50 runs. My friend has put a large bet that Pak shall be 5 down before 50 runs.

Lets see if he becomes a millionaire today

 

[down4whatever]

What poor body-language from Pakistan.We were never that bad.
Some serious issues with this team

against NZ? Pak have been absolutely awful. They lost all 10 wickets in one session against NZ a couple years ago. Also, don't forget the embarassment in the first test. Why even schedule matches with NZ.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

This happens when you decide not to win but looking for shameful draw.

 

[cririket]

Winning or losing these two will go for it

 

[Amjid Javed]

Told u all shafiq would fail, he got his personal runs in 1st inns.

 

[Savage]

Who is Somervile?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Can we now have someone being brave for a change? Or do these idiots think they can save this Test match with only one recognized batsman left after this?

Make NZ think. Don't let them bowl to you.

 

[Aman]

Who is Somervile?

Off spinner on debut.

 

[Hitman]

Babar gone.

 

[Aman]

PLUMB.

White strikes.


YES BOI

 

[Aman]

That is plumb what a horrible review.

Pak 51/4. Fitte muh

 

[Madplayer]

That is plumb what a horrible review.

Edged. Yeah boiii

 

[Shafi]

Babar is not made for test. 1 or 2 fluke innings doesn't mean anything.

 

[Stalin]

That is plumb what a horrible review.

Well Well.....

 

[Mainul]

These UAE track bullies (Hafeez,Asad,Azhar) are exposed by NZ bowlers on their home ground !!! Asad the asian bradman has golden duck, Hafeez the invincible got 8 and Azhar the most technically sound batsman ( sedative for the viewers ) has only made 5 . Inji Bhai keep Fawad Alam in domestic showcase and keep selecting these boring hacks. NZ was batting so easy,suddenly it has become difficult. Go NZ go...

 

[Something]

Babar Azam showing some intent now

 

[Mamba Red]

Pakistan is so crap, LOL pathetic.

Who in Inji?

 

[Savage]

Off spinner on debut.

Oh thanks.

 

[AMSS]

That is plumb what a horrible review.

Pause and breathe a little before typing. Will help you avoid embarrassments.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

That is plumb what a horrible review.

?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Babar going to play a match saving innings now.

 

[sindhiboy]

somerville has a bowling avg of 12.5 poor guy should have been picked way before.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Cmon man, atleast bash this average off-spinner. He is just bowling the occasional arm-balls

 

[Big Mac]

Somerville challenging both sides of the bat like peak Ajmal here smh

 

[Hawkeye]

Babar going to play a match saving innings now.

Agree.

 

[Aman]

Pause and breathe a little before typing. Will help you avoid embarrassments.

That looked dead live and you know it, even on replay it looked like it went past the bat.

Babar was walking off

Anyhow 5 down now.

YES BOI

 

[Suleiman]

Well if there was ever a time to prove to selectors and dinosaurs in PCB that youngsters are the way forward and not old seniors, this is it.

 

[Something]

Gone.

 

[sindhiboy]

kane williamson and henry nichols also came in with their team 60/4. can imam and babar replicate the same act?

 

[Madplayer]

Bhateeja gone

 

[Aman]

kane williamson and henry nichols also came in with their team 60/4. can imam and babar replicate the same act?

Talk about bad timing

 

[Mainul]

Who in Inji?

Inzamam ul huq... The great nepotism specialist

 

[AMSS]

The best batting duo in the worldcouldn't come together to see this one off for Pakistan. Oh well.

 

[Big Mac]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that New Zealand might be slightly ahead.

 

[Madplayer]

Its lunch

 

[Shafi]

I bet we will not even score 100 against Philander, Steyn and Rabada in any of 6 innings.

 

[Mainul]

5 down

 

[Aman]

Pakistan wont back themselves to survive, so they'll look to counter.

Could be over next session.

 

[Suleiman]

Man that's gonna be an awkward family dinner lmao.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a 1st session for EnZed. Absolute domination. Favourites to win now. PAK on the other hand have to tour SA after this.

 

[theariezman]

Told u all shafiq would fail, he got his personal runs in 1st inns.

Someone said he makes 0 being hated he makes 100 being hated ... they say 100% true.

 

[Shafi]

Should extend the lunch another 20 minutes to get next 5 wickets. Our batsmen are that bad.

 

[Madplayer]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that New Zealand might be slightly ahead.

You are as correct as a flat earth supporter.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Mental problem. Our players are good as long as they don't feel any pressure.

It is quite sad to see and know it is going to take years to fix this problem. Work needs to be done on the ground level.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Congrats [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] . First away series win against Pakistan in nearly 50 years coming up.

 

[Mainul]

SA bowlers are picking their lips to eat these hacks

 

[Aman]

Two batsmen left, I don't think either will look to defend.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Right guys, so how many batsmen have got out playing defensive strokes? Which idiot was in charge of this strategy to dead bat today, when attack was the only way to go?!

 

[Zeshan547]

Bobby was walking off even after hitting,,, just shows his lack of confidence and phattu personality,,, it's hard to chisse who is more phattu,,, this series loss is well and truly deserved,, it's that bad that it's isn't even funny anymore, we have seen this unfold too many times,,, and people expect this team to win in SA and create history, the only history they can create is of timidity and defeatist mindset,,, I had enough of it,,

 

[Oligochaetes]

Its over....

 

[Aman]

Congrats [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] . First away series win against Pakistan in nearly 50 years coming up.

I'm stunned they've turned it around. This is all on Kane and Nicols innings, we were down and out at 60/4.

Pakistan being a mess atm certainly helped, would have never happened if YK and Misbah were still around.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Right guys, so how many batsmen have got out playing defensive strokes? Which idiot was in charge of this strategy to dead bat today, when attack was the only way to go?!

That we will never know.

 

[Varun]

If Pakistan can't win or draw in the UAE....

 

[Ahmed216]

Wake me up when SA tour is over

 

[Something]

I'm stunned they've turned it around. This is all on Kane and Nicols to turning it around and changing the game.

Pakistan being a mess atm certainly helped, would have never happened if YK and Misbah were still around.

If YK, Misbah and Yousuf were still around we'd have won this series a month ago.

 

[ARK Rafay]

I'm stunned they've turned it around. Pakistan are in shambles atm, would have never happened if YK and Misbah were still around.

YK and Misbah were two mentally strong lads. Unfortunately they were old boys and when they retired. Our batting had no mentally strong players.

 

[Aman]

If YK, Misbah and Yousuf were still around we'd have won this series a month ago.

Yep.

Two reliable batsmen who provided stability and would convert their starts.

 

[ikky47]

Well we know that Mamoon was right about this pathetic team. We deserve this humiliation, we are borderline minnows in the test format now. Pathetic team with so many passengers, for starters need to remove the specialist captain. Followed by Bhanjaa then the next Sachin.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nichols played one helluva knock. Williamson has been a very cunning captain too. That assault in the morning really shook Pakistan up and shattered their confidence.

 

[Shafi]

Mental problem. Our players are good as long as they don't feel any pressure.

It is quite sad to see and know it is going to take years to fix this problem. Work needs to be done on the ground level.

Not true!!!! Our batsmen are extremely limited. They can perform on flat tracks when opposition bowlersa re bowling bad but once they ball with intent our batsmen are bound to fail.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The inability to undersrand basic cricket has cost our team here. If the excuse is that we don't have the players to put pressure on the bowlers, well who's fault is that?

This has to go down as one of the most shameful losses in our cricketing history.

 

[Josh]

If YK, Misbah and Yousuf were still around we'd have won this series a month ago.

Haha ..anyway sarfaraz is not a test captain material.

 

[Ahmed216]

This defeatist mindset seems to have stemmed from specialist kaptaan.
I remember how he conceded to ramiz that he felt nervous chasing a target of 64 in england recently

 

[castortroy]

I did say we would make their average spinners look like world class

2 test matches absolutely thrown away by this pathetic pak team led by a useless captain.

This is nearly as bad as the first test

 

[ARK Rafay]

Well we know that Mamoon was right about this pathetic team. We deserve this humiliation, we are borderline minnows in the test format now. Pathetic team with so many passengers, for starters need to remove the specialist captain. Followed by Bhanjaa then the next Sachin.

Our boys will win as long as it is T20s. Ask them to chase a total (specially in longer format). 'To In Sab Ki Chekhein Nikal Jaati Hain'

 

[Madplayer]

This has to go down as one of the most shameful losses in our cricketing history.

This statement is becoming all too frequent.

 

[cririket]

Bilal will score a century,after all he is playing because he is an allrounder right?
Srs the managment is rubbish how many series do they have to lose to understand that you need 2 spinners here even though this series lose is more due to batting imcompetence

 

[castortroy]

We beat a very average Aussie team but this test series has been an absolute disgrace

Arthur and Sarfraz should be removed after this embarrassment

 

[Smbhayi]

Pause and breathe a little before typing. Will help you avoid embarrassments.

well in commentary he takes a little time to review it which means he doesn't feel the edge.. so that was a desperate review..

 

[Asif321]

Wow our so called talented batsmen are so poor
Shafiq azhar doing nothing when needed
Imam has been disaster
Harris is not what we need at number 4

 

[shah_1]

Shameful

 

[Stalin]

I did say we would make their average spinners look like world class

This is more worse my friend!

 

[Usman Chadda]

This statement is becoming all too frequent.

Agreed. It's all down to rubbish mindset. These boys could have achieved something wonderful today, but they folded as usual like kittens.

 

[cririket]

Somerville is bowling well here

 

[Asif321]

How good would have been Fawad alam type of player in this line up
Inzi has been disaster

 

[AAli98]

Itl all get brushed under the carpet after sarfraz gets another meaningless t20i series victory. Keep winning mickey mouse matches leave the real cricket to the big boys..

 

[ARK Rafay]

How good would have been Fawad alam type of player in this line up
Inzi has been disaster

In Tests Inzi's selection has been poor
