[VIDEO] New Zealand strongly placed on 286/3 at Stumps on Day 2 of the 2nd Test against Pakistan

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Is pitch pe destroy karna asaan nahi.

Pak was scoring at 4rpo all day yesterday so I reckon once the ball loses its shine NZ batters will really attack.

 

[Rana]

NZ playing for the draw...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Even if Latham edged that last Abbas delivery, there was no chance of it carrying

 

[Rana]

Shaheen hasn’t found his radar

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Don’t waste the new ball bring naseem and tell him to bowl full.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What is the name of the female commentator?

 

[Rana]

Naseem warming up his thunder thighs

 

[Hasan123]

Latham is a quality test player.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Naseem warming up his thunder thighs

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Trundler alert.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Latham is a quality test player.

Pata chal jaye ga thodi dar mein.

 

[Ozeirk]

I don't see Abbas taking a wicket with this bowling. Players standing out of the crease makes it very difficult.

 

[Savak]

Very unpenetrative bowling so far. NZ content in playing out the new ball.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Seems like Shaheen is bowling a bit too wide and not making them play

 

[Rana]

Check the plan

Bowler goes around the wicket after 15 balls

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Trundler alert.

My 12 yrs old nephew bowls faster than this.

 

[Markhor]

Making it too easy for batsmen to leave. Gotta make the new ball count in NZ.

 

[Ozeirk]

I don't see them using the swing and seam in the wicket much. The approach doesn't look much different than the first test. Not sure where the bowlers have made their adjustments

 

[Saj]

Wasting the new ball so far.

Skipper needs to get in the ears of the bowlers.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Making it too easy for batsmen to leave. Gotta make the new ball count in NZ.

Even Pak openers did good early on, and this is NZL openers are home so give it a little time.

 

[Markhor]

What were the bowling plans here ?

 

[hur rizvi]

Harmless stuff from Abbas and shaheen, really harmless

 

[Rana]

Around the wicket now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There's no such thing as knowing what to do out there

They all just seem to be just going through the motions without putting in an ounce of effort.

 

[Ozeirk]

What have they really changed from the first test?

 

[Rana]

Well done Rizwan

Keep wasting that new ball by throwing it back to your bowler

 

[imshally81]

We are wasting the new ball..

 

[hur rizvi]

Abbas is such a new ball waster. Look good do nothing bowler

 

[Ozeirk]

I don't see a lot of energy in the field.

 

[Rana]

Khuda ke liye Rizwan put your helmet on and stand up

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Even i can plan better than shaheen.

First ball leaving delivery
2nd a bouncer
3rd leaving delivery again
4th a yorker
5th bouncer
6th full on the pad plumb. Gone

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully we get a wicket but a bit worrying that there isn’t much threat right now.

 

[Belawal2014]

Abbas needs to be at least 5-7 KPh quicker to be threatening..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn. Abbas almost hit 130 there. Fiery

 

[hur rizvi]

Even here some Abbas deliveries have bounced twice to Riz

 

[Hasan123]

Blundell really far out of the crease.

 

[Ozeirk]

Even i can plan better than shaheen.

First ball leaving delivery
2nd a bouncer
3rd leaving delivery again
4th a yorker
5th bouncer
6th full on the pad plumb. Gone

Took my mind to wasims days.

 

[Markhor]

Abbas is bowling at, what can be said generously, an optimum pace for swing...

 

[Rana]

These were wickets on which Asif would run rampage

 

[Omer2002]

I did say there is not much swing or seam but we have wasted the new ball need to make them play

 

[Ozeirk]

Batsmen is standing halfway down the pitch. Lol

 

[Rana]

Damn. Abbas almost hit 130 there. Fiery

 

[hur rizvi]

Abbas is bowling at, what can be said generously, an optimum pace for swing...

Dibbly doobly

 

[lahoriyah1234]

These were wickets on which Asif would run rampage

Uska naam mat lo yaar. Woh Class uske baad nazar nahi ayi.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

They should have gone for Hasnain here a pace bowler.

 

[hur rizvi]

I would rather Naseem bowling right now than Abbas

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Now Abbas reminds me off Dobby from HP.

 

[Rana]

Well bowled. Made him play

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Dibbly doobly

No difference between him and Shan Masood bowling.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pathetic fielding gets a four

 

[Rana]

I would rather Naseem bowling right now than Abbas

But but but....

Spray gun

Plan!!

 

[Ozeirk]

Is hasnain not ready for test yet?

 

[Markhor]

Who was the fielder there ? Should've been stopped.

 

[UP]

It was swinging like a banana and bouncing 6 stories - what the heck happened to the pitch today? Looks dead.

 

[Bilal_103]

Abbas is a proper Trundler. Surely Pakistan can find someone better.

 

[hur rizvi]

Shaheen as of now is an average test bowler and given that he’s our best says a lot about the sorry state of our bowling

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Is hasnain not ready for test yet?

According to Waqar an 16 yrs old is ready but not someone who is 19 yrs old.

 

[shariqnoor]

Shaheen doesn't have the patience to set up a batsman or on executing a certain plan.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shaheen has been too full

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I wanted to be him when I was 6

He is a good actor.

 

[Markhor]

Is hasnain not ready for test yet?

Has played 2 FC matches (but 47 T20s) so no.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

It was swinging like a banana and bouncing 6 stories - what the heck happened to the pitch today? Looks dead.

What does the pitch have to do with swing?

 

[hur rizvi]

Rubbish bowling

 

[BreadPakoda]

According to Waqar an 16 yrs old is ready but not someone who is 19 yrs old.

How is Hasnain better than Naseem? Haven't seen him a lot.

 

[shariqnoor]

I maintain that Shaheen is a very ordinary Test and T20 bowler. He is very good in ODIs though.

He needs 30 FC games to be ready for Test cricket.

 

[Ellipsism]

Shaheen not getting much swing here.

Abbas ain’t gonna do jack

 

[Rana]

Proper Saturday league bowler is Abbas

 

[Ozeirk]

Has played 2 FC matches (but 47 T20s) so no.

Why doesnt he play more FC matches?

 

[hur rizvi]

Abbas has 0% hitting wickets percentage in this innings

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Sami would have gone well on this pitch.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

All down to the new youngsters beauty Naseem now.

 

[hur rizvi]

Get up to stumps for Abbas at least Rizwan

 

[Omer2002]

Hasnain has improved miles hopefully plays pakistan cup and then needs to play first class

 

[Ozeirk]

Big struggle here for Pakistan ahead it seems.

 

[Rana]

Stay Patient boys. Wicket is lively

 

[Ozeirk]

Abbas hasn't done a lot to build up his pace. Pakistan doesn't play a lot of tests and he gets a lot of time in between

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Why abbas is not looking for lbw here he cant find edges with his pace.

 

[ElRaja]

rizwan needs to come up against abbas. also no idea why they keep bowling everything miles outside off, just bowl on 5th stump and let the pitch, ball, swing do a little bit.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Abbas hasn't done a lot to build up his pace. Pakistan doesn't play a lot of tests and he gets a lot of time in between

He is your classical 80s part time pacer.

 

[Rana]

Shaheen is flat
