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

[Rana]

Come on Naseem concentrate boy

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Why Naseem not bowling bouncers and have a short leg fielder and fires in.

 

[Rana]

140.7

 

[Mueez]

I always wonder how Hafeez would’ve been as our Test captain.

 

[Rana]

Hostile. Keep hitting the deck hard boy!

 

[shaaik]

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.

This years QEA trophy hasn’t been too bad so far and I hope it’s only gonna get better if players like Naseem feature in it regularly..

 

[Rana]

Fawad!!! You are supposed to be our Jadeja!!!!!

 

[ethan hunt]

My man bowling 140 ks now

 

[Mueez]

If Shadab was there he could’ve taken that catch!

 

[Darkrai]

after criticism from yesterday, he's probably been told to bowl faster.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why is Faheem slower than Abbas today? Is he tired?

 

[Mueez]

Luck not favoring Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Sobers needs a rest mate

 

[Kroll]

after criticism from yesterday, he's probably been told to bowl faster.

Should be told to get some wickets.

 

[Rana]

Well done for replacing the wrong bowler Rizwan!

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan's achievement here is that they have probably taken this game to the 5th day.

Had they batted first, they would've been enjoying NZ nature for the past 2 days.

 

[shaaik]

Well done for replacing the wrong bowler Rizwan!

May be change of ends for Naseem or Shaheen might replace Faheem from the other end ..

 

[shaaik]

Who all for Yasir’s 5fer here ?

 

[Darkrai]

didn't Wasim say that Waqar promised him that he would turn these bowlers into world beaters?

 

[shaaik]

didn't Wasim say that Waqar promised him that he would turn these bowlers into world beaters?

Yes in 2 years time ..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Misbah and waqar alongsides Younis khan jave done no good to the team whatsoever to

 

[Mueez]

This aunty commentator is so biased.

 

[Mueez]

I think Pak bowlers need to bowl a yorker to Blundell.

 

[shaaik]

I think Pak bowlers need to bowl a yorker to Blundell.

Shaheen might try it in this over ..

 

[Darkrai]

Yes in 2 years time ..

yet here we have people claiming that he is ruining our young bowlers, especially Naseem.

He certainly hasn't improved anyone yet.

 

[Rana]

How is that 2 runs??

 

[Mueez]

Shaheen might try it in this over ..

Shaheen needs to bowl from Yasir’s end and Yasir from Shaheen’s.

 

[Rana]

Shan Masood behaving like a Jahaaz today

 

[shaaik]

yet here we have people claiming that he is ruining our young bowlers, especially Naseem.

He certainly hasn't improved anyone yet.

I think Waqar as bowling coach isn’t as bad as he’s made out to be here on this forum..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yasir

 

[hitthestump]

I think Waqar as bowling coach isn’t as bad as he’s made out to be here on this forum..

What has he really achieved? Naseem has gone nowhere, Abbas has gone backwards. Shaheen is great with the new ball but that was never Waqar's speciality in his own career. So what can Waqar take credit for here?

Let’s be honest Our blowers are also not the brightest in the world .. there’s only a little a coach can teach you, the rest is on you ..

Sounds like we agree then, Waqar has done nothing.

In comparison under Azhar our t20 and LOI bowling became fairly strong. Now we're not even good at t20 bowling anymore.

 

[moghul]

Why is Faheem slower than Abbas today? Is he tired?

Why put effort when you have confirmed your place for next 10 tests by scoring that 90, thats is culture in Pakistan team lately.

 

[moghul]

Is the wicket has eased up a lot or the bowling is so innocent.

 

[Omer2002]

Y is that when shaheen bowled.well than naseem was awful..now.naseem has done well but shaheen has been poor

 

[Rana]

Shaheen is so flat today

 

[Rana]

This is so boring

Give Naseem some overs

 

[shaaik]

Unfortunately he hasn’t but the blame shdnt solely rest with him .. the bowlers are equally to be blamed ..

 

[Tubs]

Shan's speed is approaching Abbas'

 

[moghul]

Rizwan dropped his should a bit too early, looks like ready to concede this test, I'm not impressed.

 

[Space Cat]

NZ will be pretty happy with that start to the day. Will look to push the lead over 400 maybe 450 then declare.

De Grandhomme is missed in these situations.

 

[shamaan]

Is the wicket has eased up a lot or the bowling is so innocent.

the pitch is flat but how or another we will give new zealand wickets again in the second innings

 

[shamaan]

New zealand should look to get 100 in 20 overs then put pakistan into bat before tea

 

[UzmanBeast]

Match is almost in the bag for New Zealand because we have shown no teeth in our bowling attack. We have done too much too late as the saying often goes. These short ball tactics should have been used in the first innings. This level of fielding should have happened in the first innings.

Logically speaking, New Zealand will come out and make a lead of nothing less than 450. The question is how we plan to go ahead with this. What is our game plan?

 

[castortroy]

What an absolute garbage of a bowling attack

 

[liam26]

300 less now, just quick 100 runs more and declaration will come.

 

[Snatch]

Great bowling Abbas

 

[Rana]

What a dead wicket

Reminds me of the UAE

 

[ExpressPacer]

Sitting out here in the sun. Amazing display of batting by NZ. Pakistan missing a fast Naseem. He's clearly changed his action. Dont understand a 10 KPH drop in pace.

 

[Rana]

One thing Fawad was...a good fielder

So average now

 

[Thunderbolt14]

[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] bhai can you ask about Naseem’s drop in pace if you’re attending the next virtual press conference? And if he’s no longer taking on the enforcer role why he’s being played?

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] bhai can you ask about Naseem’s drop in pace if you’re attending the next virtual press conference? And if he’s no longer taking on the enforcer role why he’s being played?

Even Shaheen has been 132 in this second innings

 

[Colorblind Genius]

What a dead wicket

Reminds me of the UAE

lol ... wait till Pakistan bats and they will show you the hidden demons in this same "dead wicket".

 

[Rana]

Pakistan are rubbish. The wicket really is dead though

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Latham gets that away

 

[liam26]

The match is boring until Pakistan bat again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis would be looking for lead of 450 here

 

[angrypathan]

Even Shaheen has been 132 in this second innings

You'd expect a bowler to have more energy in the first innings of a test match.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

The top order is shocking. One of the worst on a SENA tour yet. All the new batters recently bat like over 40s Afridi. I have absolutely no clue what is being done in NCA but its a mess. Who knows how long the domestic cricket restructuring will take to make an impact. 3 years? 5 years?

 

[Rana]

What else has that hit?

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Williamson in true form here

 

[Rana]

Naseem deserved that wicket. I’m hoping he gets 4-5 here

 

[Shafi]

Waqar needs to be sacked. This guy doesn’t have any skill or desire to teach our bowlers. Why PCB wasting money on bowling coach.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I prefer watching our batsmen dance rather than our bowlers get smacked. It’s more interesting

 

[Rana]

Worst piece of fielding ever

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Azhar Ali to score a battling 81 (323) to secure a draw for Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to stop the flow of runs here

 

[ExpressPacer]

This pitch is as flat as they come. All bowlers aside from Naseem have bowled well. Naseem needs to get back his pace somehow.

 

[Rana]

Absolutely no bounce in this track

 

[Justcrazy]

Azhar Ali to score a battling 81 (323) to secure a draw for Pakistan

He will not , he is past that phase in his life

 

[moghul]

Tearaway speedster Naseem Shah sent a thunderbolt bouncer at sizzling pace of 129.3 kmh

 

[Justcrazy]

Its sad to see Pakistan younger bowlers working under shadow of Waqar

 

[Space Cat]

Naseem getting some consolation wickets here with NZ looking for quick runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Naseem gets Williamson here

 

[Rana]

Oh yeah as if he didn’t deserve those wickets?

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Kiwis would be looking for lead of 450 here

It's only going to be either waste of time or some more batting practice.

The lead of 192 in the first innings was enough for NZ to win this game.

I am truly looking forward to see if our batting line can deplete the deficit of the NZ first innings in our second innings. If we score 192+, it will be a moral victory.

 

[Space Cat]

Very un Williamson shot that. Must be looking to declare very soon.

Good to see unselfish batting.

 

[Titan24]

Naseem getting some consolation wickets here with NZ looking for quick runs.

Its part of test cricket when teams try to push for fast runs. Credit to Naseem for not allowing them easy runs.

He was promoted prematurely to test cricket, wont mind him getting some confidence at this level.

 

[Space Cat]

I would want 400 personally but they might be thinking a bit less.
