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

[Justcrazy]

0 / 2

What a start , will younis khan come in to bat next

 

[Rana]

Rizwan Needed to come at 4

 

[Yk313]

I hope scoring runs is on the agenda at some point, not just losing wickets

That would be a departure from tradition. Please do not write such nonsense.

 

[guna]

Boult and Southee are the best new ball bowlers in the world. Pakistan just needs to survive the first 15 overs.

 

[Gullycricket]

Oh no 36 all out under danger

 

[Afhan Ali]

What a Start for Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Guys were are heading for 20 all out here

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

One word DISGRACEFULL

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan and batting do not go together.

 

[Yk313]

0 / 2

What a start , will younis khan come in to bat next

That might just improve our chances of saving the test. How I wish... fitter than Haris still lol, such a shameful admission.

 

[Titan24]

Records under threat.

 

[Rana]

They won’t even put away the short and wide stuff

 

[TeamPak95]

Like this is surprising, but not surprising at the same time

 

[Buffet]

Guys were are heading for 20 all out here

I don't think crossing 36 or 45 matters here. Losing wickets like this is poor.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The fact that these losers are still content on prodding and poking around, after the first innings disaster, shows the massive egos and limited skillset they have. You deserve this embarrassment, if you have zero intention to score runs. Blunting the new ball doesn't that specialist batsmen start playing like night-watchmen.

 

[Rana]

How can we not swing the ball like this?

 

[Zeshan547]

Its not even funny anymore. Has they swapped the pitch.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Why can’t our guys swing the ball at all? It is the same ball that we use to the opposition?

How Southee is getting so much bounce too? He is unplayable at the moment.

 

[guna]

Records under threat.

For that Pakistan has to nick everything and NZ has to catch everything. 36 all out does not happen everyday.

 

[Rana]

I don't think crossing 36 or 45 matters here. Losing wickets like this is poor.

It kind of does matter, we did ott Bhangra at 36 all out for India. These are going to be a long few days until the next Test for Pak fans

 

[TeamPak95]

Records under threat.

This is why India vs Pakistan is one of the great rivalries

 

[Yk313]

How can we not swing the ball like this?

NZD has a rich history of fast bowling, swing, seam and the whole package. We do not have such luxuries. We should hire some knowledgeable legends to like Waqar Younis to our coaching staff. Thank

 

[observer1]

Shan's last good inning was the century against England. The same inning where he was dropped several times.

The Pakistan team seem to be acting like their on holiday. Smiling and giggling whilst chewing their gum.

Where is the grit, determination and passion ?????

 

[moghul]

Is this same wicket ??

 

[B_Positive]

This is just tail, real batting comes with Rizwan, Ashraf and below

 

[coy0607]

One word DISGRACEFULL

Better word: expected

Abid and Shan performed exactly how you would expect them to against a tough opposition.

 

[Buffet]

Can we get past 36 bwoiysszz???

Comfortably, It's not a hard pitch and not a day-night as well. But playing so poorly is bad to see. At least show some effort. If you get 50/6 then even if two batsmen bat well, it's useless. The outcome becomes enevitable.

 

[Darkrai]

Perfect start. Love it!

 

[Rana]

Please explain....

Southee is as fast as Abbas, slightly faster. He gets hoops of swing in comparison to Abbas. It’s the same cricket ball and the same conditions. Clearly Abbas is a fraud or the bowling coach for Pakistan is clueless

 

[dildilpak]

Cant believe (well actually i do) that our batsmen cannot ride out the new ball, when they know that the wicket is truly as placid as it comes! Disgraceful

 

[Zeshan547]

How can we not swing the ball like this?

At this point we dont know what sucks more, our batting or bowling, and fielding is no better.

 

[D/DAhmed]

There we have it, the pathetic tailenders we send out as openers are gone. Apparently they’re good at blunting the ball, but here we have #3 and #4 playing in the second over of the match.

Don’t worry though, Misbah will keep them both in the team. His excuse will be that Abid Ali averages 40+, Shan Masood protects the middle order and, of course, we have no talent. Even as a captain, when he played his pathetic brand of cricket, his excuse was ‘this is the style I have to play because I have no resources as our disposal.’ The CT17 win was a tight slap in the face of this shameless Misbah, and now he’s here undoing any progress in front of our eyes.

 

[moghul]

Anyone knows what Younis Khan is paid for ?

 

[sindhiboy]

Pakistan is threatening Indias record. 35 all out

 

[Rana]

Come on, please just get over 36 now

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

i pray its not 36 all out for Pakistan fans. No cricket fan in the world must go thru what we went.
Its heartbreaking.

 

[Belawal2014]

Comfortably, It's not a hard pitch and not a day-night as well. But playing so poorly is bad to see. At least show some effort. If you get 50/6 then even if two batsmen bat well, it's useless. The outcome becomes enevitable.

You are overestimating Pakistan

 

[Darkrai]

People wanted Shan to be made captain

 

[angrypathan]

I think Shan now has 31 runs in his last 7 innings. Abysmal

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Rizwan has to bat up

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Watch azhar block his way to a 5(88) before giving it away

 

[TeamPak95]

Yay, runs

 

[Yk313]

Anyone else see how NZD had done their homework on the length Abid dislikes? Even in the first inning after having pushed him back (a la Archer in ENG). Everyone seems to have the data/videos to prep. I guess load shedding has prevented us from doing so.

 

[Kroll]

Pak just giving NZ a chance here, they know Lord Faheem still to come and blast Pak to glory.

 

[Forum363]

Anyone knows what Younis Khan is paid for ?

It’s infuriating seeing him with his notebook in the dugout.

Ridiculous about the knife debacle.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Come on, please just get over 36 now

Pitch is not that bad you will score 150-200 do not worry.

 

[Arsal_AK]

And Fawad is in next....

 

[shaaik]

Boult and Southee are the best new ball bowlers in the world. Pakistan just needs to survive the first 15 overs.

Jamieson is going to be more dangerous on this track with his height.. there’s no reprieve here for our batsmen.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I want to see Younus diary. Anytime i see him on camera, he is taking notes like a good student.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan is threatening Indias record. 35 all out

The whole PCB marketing staff needs to be sacked. They have basically signed these guys to endorse Pakistan’s brand. These guys are all jokers, we look like a joke.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

You know guys, I miss the days it Taufeeq Umar and Azhar Ali/Hafeez opening.

 

[Buffet]

Cant believe (well actually i do) that our batsmen cannot ride out the new ball, when they know that the wicket is truly as placid as it comes! Disgraceful

It's a good pitch to bat. Just had to see off the new ball here.

 

[HasanA]

Anyone knows what Younis Khan is paid for ?

Pressing the pen button multiple times

 

[TeamPak95]

Watch azhar block his way to a 5(88) before giving it awag

So 1 run off the next 87 deliveries

 

[Rana]

Harris is a sitting duck

 

[Yk313]

Anyone knows what Younis Khan is paid for ?

Writing about his travels and getting his diary published by a leading publisher. PCB and him to share the spoils. Foreward by Grant FlowerZ

 

[coy0607]

So 1 run off the next 87 deliveries

well within the realm of possibility for Azhar

 

[Rayyman]

Imran Butt is probably sitting there excited and scared at the same time

 

[shady]

That was really poor from Shan.

 

[sharmaji]

Azhar Ali to make a 50 today.

 

[Belawal2014]

Harris is a sitting duck

Stylish sitting duck.

 

[Yk313]

I want to see Younus diary. Anytime i see him on camera, he is taking notes like a good student.

Pretty sure it’s just doodles and vulgar drawings.

 

[TeamPak95]

Imran Butt is probably sitting there excited and scared at the same time

Watch him play the next test, does horribly, gets dropped for SA home tests, and then never see him again..

 

[Rana]

MashaAllah

The PCB is the only institution in the world that will give any new upcoming coach his first break at a high intensity job. Also a 200 time failed coach will always have an opportunity available at the PCB

 

[coy0607]

Anyone knows what Younis Khan is paid for ?

Don't think Younis can snap his fingers and turn QAE Grade 2 level batsmen into Test players, no matter how much you pay him

 

[Yk313]

Haris is talented..... and IND will lose their Test at MCG against AUS by 10 wickets.

 

[Jabo]

india chase the total or Pakistan bowled out

wonder which team will be quicker

 

[Buffet]

You are overestimating Pakistan

But 36 all-out happens only if every single thing goes in one team's favor. You nick all balls and the opposition catches all of them. Even half-chance gets you a wicket. Clearly, you are not going to see 36 all-out despite poor batting units.

I wanted to simply see some fight from Pakistan. Not fight like 60/5 and then put 100 runs, because by then match is pretty much done. Putting 150/2 would have been great to watch given NZ had given plenty of overs to get 230 runs on flat pitch. Win or lose, just play some good cricket in series.

 

[Rana]

Honestly speaking

I see no reason why Abdullah Shafique should not play instead of Shan or Abid?

But all of you cricket scholars out there are going to start persecuting anyone who suggests this by saying ‘no no no no no no he needs 300 fc games in Pakistan before he should go ahead’.

 

[coy0607]

Need a series against Zimbabwe or Bangladesh ASAP to get Shan in the running for Wisden's 2021 team of the year

 

[moghul]

Bench strength, Pakistan Shaheen 69/7 against Wellington.

 

[Cric1234]

It was a flat pitch not long ago.

 

[Jabo]

Please explain....

Southee is as fast as Abbas, slightly faster. He gets hoops of swing in comparison to Abbas. It’s the same cricket ball and the same conditions. Clearly Abbas is a fraud or the bowling coach for Pakistan is clueless

the bowling coach is a conman

 

[Rana]

Abdullah Shafique won’t do any worse than Shan atm. I wish to play him in the next game. Just go for it, what do we have to lose?

 

[MRSN]

36-- "I'm in danger"

 

[TeamPak95]

Honestly speaking

I see no reason why Abdullah Shafique should not play instead of Shan or Abid?

But all of you cricket scholars out there are going to start persecuting anyone who suggests this by saying ‘no no no no no no he needs 300 fc games in Pakistan before he should go ahead’.

Genuine question, you think he's really ready?

 

[Yk313]

MashaAllah

The PCB is the only institution in the world that will give any new upcoming coach his first break at a high intensity job. Also a 200 time failed coach will always have an opportunity available at the PCB

And then that coach will fast track undercooked people into the set up

 

[Rana]

Playing 10000 fc games in Pakistan produces Abid Ali guys. Let’s be very realistic here. Our talent hunt and scouting system is YouTube only and what looks great to the eye...or some kid who has been in the PCB academy since the age of 10 or something.

 

[JaDed]

My God its swung back again, maybe Shafique should open

 

[observer1]

No fight in the team after 5 overs when bowling.

I'm okay with Abid. He got out to two great deliveries. Dude has done well.

I can't say the same for Shan Masood. He threw away his wicket to two awful deliveries.
