[VIDEO] Chasing 373 to win, Pakistan end Day 4 of the 1st Test against New Zealand on 71/3

Can anyone post the quickest balls bowled in this match?

I still think Naseem Shah has bowled the fastest out of all pacers. I could be wrong
 
Rana I believe u are the only one who is watching the match.

By the way what a performance by India. Man they are excellent touring team in Australia for last 12 yrs.
 
Could be Naseem's last chance for a while for Pakistan if he doesn't perform today.

Big day for him.
 
Wagner is a 140kmh bowler. He was bowling 128-130 in the game

This is bata pitch. I don’t know how Pakistan only manage to score 239 here. Shows our batting talent we have right now, its an average batting team. Babar is the only good batsmen we have.
 
Why does this guy love this short and wide stuff? It’s like his stock ball

Severe lack of intent. They were playing to draw from first ball.

It’s got to do with his bowling action .. he likes to bang it onto the pitch .. so he more often than not gets the line wrong ..
 
I am amazed how India has produced so many great batting talent. Something we can learn from them. Its strange how we used to bully them in the 90s. India have turned the table here, now Pakistan better not play India for next 5 yrs.
 
Nothing happening in the bowling. I reckon these two will easily bat through the first session
 
I think we need Hasan Ali back in the team. He is also quite handy with the bat.
 
MashaAllah. At the age of 17 the boy has nearly 200 overs in Test cricket. This is brilliant mileage.
 
I think this is NZL test match to win. Pakistan must look forward to the next and try to make a comeback.
 
Naseem is bowling really nice today as well.

He has bowled better than Shaheen in this innings so far
 
Lovely bowling. MashaAllah such maturity with lines and lengths at 17

Kis ko lekar ao ghe iski jaga?
 
With 190+ lead and 180 overs left in the game, PAK is not going to win this game. So, instead of trying to blow NZ for 120, best thing PAK bowlers can go is to keep it tight and make kiwis bat longer before declarations. And, I hope Rizwan doesn’t use Yasir too much - he is not a container and they’ll take chances to loft him in this 60 metre ground.

Pakistan should just choke up runs and force.them to bat 65+ overs. Then try and hold out for 110 overs and draw. Doable but not easy. Hppefut the pitch further flattens out.

Tell me a bowler who you think is ready to just walk in this team and bowl Test match line and lengths?

None to be honest but I think we are just going to waste Naseem if we persist with him on current form. He wd be better off playing in domestic and learn the art of bowling long spells with pace and accuracy.

I m a big fan of him though ..

The thing with Shaheen is if he doesn’t take a wicket in his first spell he seldom makes up for it in the later spells..

Bro this talk about sending him to the domestics to learn...

It’s all b.s. I’m sorry, if you ask me to send him to England to play for Surrey/Middlesex I would agree with you. Not convinced about sending him to Pakistan to learn. He is clearly a proper bowler. People have personal issues with him for weird reasons.

Pak doesnt have much to play with tbh and kiwis domt have much to lose either. They are attacking with a lead already enough . They are just going to bat for 40 Overs at 5 an over and Once they have lead of 400 declare with pak needing 400 odd in 140 overs. One things for aure Pakistan will play the negative game. Meaning they will have to bat out the 140 overs to draw which is impossible. If they have 140 overs im sure they shud play positively and try and go for the target

Agreed we need to bat normally but apart from the rain affected 3rd Test vs Eng, we haven't batted through to a draw for ages in a Test especially away from home.

This lot could collapse even on a pancake wicket.
 
All Naseem needs is a captain like Kohli, Kane, Morgan..even a long on like Cummins to guide him and he will deliver for you. It’s all you need at this age, a father figure on the pitch who will continue to back you.

Imran Khan would’ve made the bloke into a legendary bowler.
 
Better areas so far from Naseem in this innings.

A wicket would boost his confidence.
 
Naseem bowling quicker today.
Still shy of his normal average pace.

This wicket is dead. Cant believe pakistan's top order failed so spectacularly on this.

A strong leader character, who would mentally build him to the point that he would believe he is a real threat out there. So far Naseem has played under Azhar and Rizwan...
 
Naseem.very good today with lines and pace up 5kph from 1st innings. Ball is hitting bat hard. Hes around 140kph which is great with good lines. Upwards from here inshAllah. Remember hes been injured before this tour. Have patience and he will come good

145kph by Shaheen, I believe. This was right after he got Wagner bowled by a no ball into roundabout his 37th over. He ended up bowling faster than he had the entire match, boy was he angry
 
NZ, the most boring place in the world to play cricket. But this is a privilege apparently...

We batted out for a draw pretty decently in that 3rd test. We got 187/4 in around 90 overs I believe. If the top order can show from application for once like they did in that rest we should fight it out.
.
 
Pakistani batting talent will never develop or prosper if you have coach who are out dated and believes experience is the key. We need a Coach who can revamp our batting culture and bring fresh faces, even if it takes 3 yrs for us to be a good side again, il take that because it’s high time we move forward from Azhar, Asad and Harris Sohail.
