[Zeshan547]

and just pray we don't take a wicket on no ball.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Maidens to Kane will make Henry want to score leading to chances .

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Catches are coming, bigger question is how many would be held? Any bets are off.

Pakistani players when chitroool take place in the dressing room, they starts running like headless

 

[Kroll]

Those days are gone, now it's slow and steadily chipping away, don't have wasim and waqar to blow them away.

Here's hoping, the revolution begins! Shaheen and Naseem to blow the Kiwis away!

 

[Rana]

Loving this. Pakistan with their tails up

 

[Titan24]

Abbas’ pace is bit up, around 127-128 kph now

 

[imshally81]

Catches are coming, bigger question is how many would be held? Any bets are off.

I think.. We didn't drop any catch today...

 

[Rana]

38 Abbas

I’m convinced that’s his age

 

[Kroll]

Just need to get this KW guy out, hopefully before the 100 is up.

 

[imshally81]

127 kph by Abbas

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have to keep getting wickets here

 

[Hasan123]

Glad to see Abbas bowling well.

 

[Zeshan547]

Abbas’ pace is bit up, around 127-128 kph now

Wish he could add even 10kph and operate at 135 kph, which is still slow medium or medium fast but with skill set Abbas have would be totally different beast and preposition. Another what if.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan have to keep getting wickets here

As Rana said Patience is the key, keep it to the good channels and wk will come, its that sort of a pitch.

 

[Titan24]

NZ batting lineup is pretty good, everyone of them can play a long innings. One of the reasons for their success in last few years.

 

[Kroll]

Abbas’ pace is bit up, around 127-128 kph now

Imagine if he could bowl 10-15 kph faster, he'd be a big hitter bowler.

 

[Hasan123]

Since Naseem came off we have been bowling much better.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowlers have kept it tight so far , need to keep the pressure on here

 

[Rana]

Shaheen to the left hander

 

[Hasan123]

Since Naseem came off we have been bowling much better.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bowlers have kept it tight so far , need to keep the pressure on here

 

[Zeshan547]

I think.. We didn't drop any catch today...

Long may it continue, but with Pak you never sure.

 

[Darkrai]

and just pray we don't take a wicket on no ball.

there you go

 

[lahoriyah1234]

What the hell was that Shaheen having NZL 4 down would been a wrap up inning position.

 

[Titan24]

Wish he could add even 10kph and operate at 135 kph, which is still slow medium or medium fast but with skill set Abbas have would be totally different beast and preposition. Another what if.

Imagine if he could bowl 10-15 kph faster, he'd be a big hitter bowler.

Even early 130 would do the job with his accuracy and skills but, doesn’t look likely unless he puts in some hard yards.

 

[azimiqbal]

Can’t be taking wickets off no balls , might cost us

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Did Azhar ali catch carried?

 

[Titan24]

Nicholls season has been the luckiest I have seen anyone having. Dropped catches, runout chances, ball falling short, out on no balls etc.

 

[MMHS]

PAK will need to get Will out early. The depth kiwis have in their lineup, if one players hold one side, that bottom half can put runs.

 

[Kroll]

Oh Shaheen! did he not do this before as well in the last test?

 

[Rana]

Need to let Faheem have another burst

 

[Kroll]

Did Azhar ali catch carried?

Nope

 

[wrongun]

Oof. Don't know whether Shaheen deserves 5fer or to be blamed for that no ball...

 

[lahoriyah1234]

We must keep it tight like we did in 1st test and 1st inning thats the sort of bowling required here.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Bring Naseem here to Nichols i think he will get him.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Naseem to come in soon I hope , bowl full pace short to Henry , will get him this time

 

[Rana]

Oof. Don't know whether Shaheen deserves 5fer or to be blamed for that no ball...

Blamed man. That was criminal in the context of the game

 

[Kroll]

Comments earlier that bowling is much better when Naseem went off now comments to bring back Naseem!

 

[angrypathan]

I remember at the start of his career that Abbas used to bowl the bouncer every so often to try and keep the batsmen hanging back. He doesn't really bowl it anymore. Probably can't get the ball to shoulder height at his now decreased pace

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Rana saab is a hidden horse he will do ertrugul horse style after getting a wicket here.

 

[Rana]

Comments earlier that bowling is much better when Naseem went off now comments to bring back Naseem!

It’s the same old haters tbh

 

[Rana]

Need another slip

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Naseem should go crazy and bowl as quick as he can.

 

[Rana]

This umpire is extremely annoying

Always something up with him

 

[imshally81]

Naseem on

 

[Titan24]

Not sure when and if Zafar will get the ball but, it would be interesting to see him against Williamson.

 

[Titan24]

Need another slip

Yes was noticing the same

 

[Kroll]

Come on Naseem, lets see some 155-160 rippers

 

[Bigboii]

Two tundlers bowling in partnership

What a snooze fest

 

[Snowflake]

So, we still don't know why Naseems pace is down by around 10 kph?

 

[Kroll]

Bowling under 140, this is disappointing from Naz and you can see he's trying to bowl fast.

 

[Rana]

That short and wide stuff

Unless he has cover for it why is he bowling it like it’s his stock delivery?

 

[Snowflake]

Come on Naseem, lets see some 155-160 rippers

Wasn't even close to 145! What has happened to him?

 

[Titan24]

Not many batsmen got bowled in this series if any

 

[angrypathan]

Where is the fear in the batsmen's eyes?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Why not try gohar here to nichkols and have him drive against the spin.

 

[Rana]

Good single

Fancy Rana to get Kane here for some weird reason

 

[Snowflake]

Never been a fan of changing bowlers from both ends at the same time. You need one bowler in rhythm all the time.

I have seen Riz do that a few times now.

 

[Kroll]

Wasn't even close to 145! What has happened to him?

Not sure, maybe a niggle, baffling as he was hyped to the moon due to pace.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Abbas pace is a joke and yet he cant bowl 8 overs in a row.

 

[shah_1]

Naseem bowls such ordinary lines, it is just too wide. Only way he is taking a wicket if batsman makes a mistake

 

[Rana]

Never been a fan of changing bowlers from both ends at the same time. You need one bowler in rhythm all the time.

I have seen Riz do that a few times now.

Exactly

I would rather have Zafar bowling one end and keep rotating all the pacers

 

[Rana]

Rana Sobers that was a McGrath level delivery

 

[sindhiboy]

Gohar should bowl now

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Not sure, maybe a niggle, baffling as he was hyped to the moon due to pace.

I think he is carrying an injury, it happens in Pakistan cricket when a youngster get chances to play, in a fear of getting dropped they keep on playing with injuries to stay in the side, this is where communication comes into play, must tell him that if he is not fir he won’t be dropped.

 

[Justcrazy]

Naseem looks very inexperienced here , Pakistan should have played sohail Khan

 

[Rana]

Another No ball

What are these guys doing?

 

[angrypathan]

Short, wide, and a no ball to top it off.

 

[shah_1]

Naseem is going to cost us the game

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Naseem looks very inexperienced here , Pakistan should have played sohail Khan

Too late now he has to deliver. I have a feeling he will in the second inning.

 

[Titan24]

Never been a fan of changing bowlers from both ends at the same time. You need one bowler in rhythm all the time.

I have seen Riz do that a few times now.

That is mostly only possible if you are bowling spinner at one end. When you start a new session with two best pacers, they are mostly going to finish the spell around similar time.

 

[Kroll]

Naseem looks very inexperienced here , Pakistan should have played sohail Khan

Doubt he could last a full test match unless he carries a tank of oxygen on his back.

 

[Rana]

Unlucky

 

[imshally81]

Nicholas is very lucky today

 

[Majestic]

Kane Williamson showing why he is a boss. If he scores a big inning here, it will be a quality knock.

 

[Rana]

Sh*# bowling

 

[Titan24]

Nicholas is very lucky today

Has been lucky throughout the season. 5 dropped catches, out on no ball, ball falling short etc

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Still long way to go for NZL to be in a safe position. If Pak knock over nickholls and kane i think pak will do well.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Spinner gonna be ineffective here.

 

[Titan24]

Time to give Zafar his debut spell to vary it a bit and see how he goes
