The 2nd Test between Pakistan (408 & 304/9) & NZ (449 & 277/5d) ends in a draw - Series drawn 0-0

[Aman]

Yeah, this is looking like a draw.

Sarfraz cramping up, Pakistan 7 down and light is going.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

kaptaan has started cramping

superman was needed here
[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION]

 

[Rana]

Believe in you Hassan

Get these runs for us buddy!

 

[Aman]

Yeah, this is bad for Pakistan.

Time going now for Safraz's cramp.

It's a draw.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Damn sodhi vs tail.

This could be over this over.

 

[Zeshan547]

Hassan Ali ab itna b gya guzra nai, wth is surf doing, wese b hila ja nai raha,. tu why not let hassan do all the work.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Physio is out, seems like Pakistan are settling for the draw as they look to kill time

 

[Ali Active]

Maybe Saud was a little positive this game would be over right now

 

[SamNJ]

Sarfraz is such an unfit player

Needs to work on himself

Blundell was half the time on field than Sarfraz still did his groin.

 

[90MPH]

Regardless of the result.

Think everyone can agree both teams are mid of the table.

Yes, I would even say NZ are a better Test team truth be told.
Pakistan Test team needs a lot of tinkering, especially the bowling.

 

[Rana]

kaptaan has started cramping

superman was needed here

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION]

Superman would have been out for 15

 

[Aman]

Pakistan have 2-3 overs.

May as well go for it. Wont have many balls to survive.

 

[sindhiboy]

Why on earth

 

[Aman]

Yes, I would even say NZ are a better Test team truth be told.
Pakistan Test team needs a lot of tinkering, especially the bowling.

Nah, we're pretty average these days too. Lost to Bangladesh at home.

Our cycle is over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nz are favs now.

 

[Aman]

Think both teams have settled for a draw.

 

[Rana]

15 runs from Hassan please

 

[imshally81]

Sarfraz is such an unfit player

Needs to work on himself

Oh come on.. He keeped almost 350+ overs and now he is already century maker... Still need some proof of fitness?

 

[90MPH]

Pakistan need to smash the spinners. Try to get a big over right now.

 

[Clueless]

NZ wasting time ...

 

[Aman]

Barring a Michael Clarke level miracle from Ish, it's over.

 

[oatmeal]

Regardless of the result. This is a great test match. love the fight shown by Sarfaraz though I still dont think he should be part of the test squad given his poor keeping. Let him compete as a batsman though

 

[Asif321]

38 more

 

[Aman]

Pakistan need to smash the spinners. Try to get a big over right now.

Pakistan have one wicket to play with, may as well go for it.

 

[oatmeal]

38 to win. Can we get 5 overs in today?

 

[Clueless]

Pakistan deserves to win

 

[Desi Don]

NZ wasting time ...

they will do that

 

[Aman]

I reckon 2 overs left, at most 3.

 

[Asif321]

Agha wicket changed it all

 

[imshally81]

Only 10 mins remaining

 

[Rana]

Come on Hassan a couple of sixes please!

 

[90MPH]

No no no !!!

Go for it man. If you get out so be it.

 

[Marooned]

No point blocking Hasan. Just slog all of them.

Naseem and abrar can do that.

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Superman would have been out for 15

superman would have also taken all those catches and would have saved all those extra runs

 

[greatest]

Even if it's bad light the match should continue, Pakistan deserve this win.

 

[Clueless]

why are light meters out when there is sunlight on the pitch?

 

[Omer2002]

sodhi can get the last few wickets in no time

 

[Desi Don]

pakistan should go for win

 

[Marooned]

Why block now???

 

[JattMaula]

Only 10 mins remaining

Umpires will extend that light permitting.

 

[Clueless]

Even if it's bad light the match should continue, Pakistan deserve this win.

Players have no say in it now, If light fades NZ will insist on using pacers and umpires will call it end of Day

 

[Markhor]

If there's bad light, play under the floodlights with a pink ball.

Ridiculous that a match like this cannot go to a conclusion.

 

[Asif321]

Light is fading

 

[90MPH]

Too much pressure on Sarfi to win it.

 

[Clueless]

If there's bad light, play under the floodlights with a pink ball.

Ridiculous that a match like this cannot go to a conclusion.

Where will u get the pink ball?

 

[Aman]

Sun is setting. Another 15 minutes I'd say.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think we only will see 2 more overs. Sun going down fast

 

[Rana]

Sodhi bowled at least 3 floaty balls for Hassan to slog out of the park!

Go for them!!

 

[oatmeal]

GO FOR IT! at least go for one or two big shots so NZ is forced to spread the field

 

[Asif321]

Newball taken

 

[Pollack]

Lost opportunity for Pakistan. Should've played more aggressive in the last hour. Sarfaraz missed the chance. Pakistan should still go for it.

 

[Clueless]

pacers on.... NZ hoping for fading lights and early end of day

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its southee not saudi bazid

 

[Aman]

New ball to waste time?

Idk could be risky, will come on to the bat better.

 

[oatmeal]

Why dont they start at 7 or 8 AM if light is such an issue every day

 

[imshally81]

New ball taken

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

New ball taken

Even if we go for it NZ will easily shut up shop, seems like playing for the draw just makes sense

 

[90MPH]

It’s a good decision by NZ to take the new ball.

It can backfire but also gives them a chance to get quick wickets.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan can lose 3 in one hour so need to be careful

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If there's bad light, play under the floodlights with a pink ball.

Ridiculous that a match like this cannot go to a conclusion.

These things happen when you take extra 20 minutes for Friday prayer and the host country already does not do a good job of getting 90 overs in.

 

[Firebat]

Shakeel could have scored these 38 runs himself in those 146 balls he faced!!

 

[Markhor]

Where will u get the pink ball?

Not saying now, but going forward the ICC should change the rules. We need to move Test cricket into 21st Century.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why dont they start at 7 or 8 AM if light is such an issue every day

9:30 AM is good enough.

 

[oatmeal]

Sarfaraz should be man of the match

 

[Marooned]

Saud batted way too negatively. This was chasable. When you face 150 balls and still can't score freely, that's where the problem is.

 

[oatmeal]

New Ball vs Hasan Ali . this can be interesting

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hasan Ali is out, we'd do well to save the game here

 

[90MPH]

Why are Pakistan defending ?

Just pathetic. And now they lose a wicket too.

 

[Asif321]

Oh god .

 

[imshally81]

Shakeel could have scored these 38 runs himself in those 146 balls he faced!!

That was need of hour

 

[Aman]

That's dead unless he hit it.

 

[Clueless]

ok now Pakistan will pray for early lights!!

 

[RyanRyan10]

Pakistan has clearly been the better side. Saud's poor approach killed their chances of a thrilling win here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hasan goes.

Bad light please.

 

[greatest]

This new bad light rule is ridiculous. Let the two teams decide when to stop play. Umpires can only call when they think it's dangerous for the batters.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That's hitting leg, DRS won't save him

 

[oatmeal]

Saud batted way too negatively. This was chasable. When face 150 balls and still can't score freely, that's where the problem is.

This. He deadbatted way too early. Even if he had scored at a slightly better rate , this was a chaseable total

 

[Aman]

Now bad light may save Pakistan.

 

[Markhor]

Hasan Ali doesn't have much of a defensive technique. Either he hits out or gets out.

 

[Zeshan547]

Now win is out of the window, just defend like mad.
