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

[Yk313]

Coming up to pies wont make them stop being pies

The only way to deceive batsmen from identifying and despatching these pies is to come up to the stumps.

Listen to the comms now.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Looks like Naseem has been told to shorten his run up, cut the pace and focus on line and length. Thanks Waqar for destroying another bowler.

 

[imshally81]

Much better over by Abbas

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Our bowling makes me want to throw up

 

[imshally81]

140.9 kph by Naseem

The only way to deceive batsmen from identifying and despatching these pies is to come up to the stumps.

Listen to the comms now.

I agree that it would be more effective to stop the batsman from standing outside but it still wont work

 

[Rana]

Come on Naseem boy angle it in

 

[Yk313]

Coming up to pies wont make them stop being pies

Sorry quoted again by mistake

 

[chacha kashmiri]

New zealand openers looking very good and settled
They have done their homework on shaheen shah after already having done their homework on abbas before the last test

 

[Rana]

Come on you youngsta angle it on on off stump

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Looks like Naseem has been told to shorten his run up, cut the face and focus on line and length. Thanks Waqar for destroying another bowler.

Kuch khud ka bhi dimaag hota hai, dont blame everything on Waqar.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

140.9 kph by Naseem

Too slow for his height in test cricket. We should be doing better. This is not a test bowler.

 

[Rana]

Shabba Naseema angle it in boy!

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I have a feeling once the ball is old, it will do more and might bring wickets. I hope

 

[Deewana Mastana]

141kph

 

[Yk313]

I agree that it would be more effective to stop the batsman from standing outside but it still wont work

That we can never be certain about. Worth trying now that this is the XI we are fielding. Once a team has been submitted, we need to get the max out of every player.

 

[Ozeirk]

Lol he wants to bowl a bouncer soon

 

[Rana]

Big chance missed

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Kuch khud ka bhi dimaag hota hai, dont blame everything on Waqar.

He is a kid trying to cement his place in the team. He will do what he has been told unless you are a character like Akhtar or Afridi.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Naseem and abbas looking like Henry and boult

 

[Ozeirk]

Do we have any other seamers in this squad?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Too slow for his height in test cricket. We should be doing better. This is not a test bowler.

Haven't found a bowler since Akhtar who bowls 150kph consistently that too threatening spells at times

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Do we have any other seamers in this squad?

This is the last test

 

[shariqnoor]

There's no way this attack can take 20 wickets against a top team anywhere in the world.

 

[Rana]

Latham is messing up their lines

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Haven't found a bowler since Akhtar who bowls 150kph consistently that too threatening spells at times

Doesn't have to be Akhtar level but to consistently manage 144kph is not too much to expect. Where has this boys pace gone?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Keep bowling on the pads good

 

[Jonty]

Anyone here know team management? Someone tell Rizwan to come up when Abbas is bowling...

 

[Ozeirk]

Shoaib would put everything into his bowling. Abbas has so many opportunities due to the break he gets to work on his fitness and strength to generate more pace. It seems our players are content with little they have. I don't see motivation to be number 1

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Can we fake abbas injury and bring sohail khan

 

[Rana]

Faheem 125 lol

 

[Ozeirk]

Anyone here know team management? Someone tell Rizwan to come up when Abbas is bowling...

They will implement it when it's too late

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Rana to get first wicket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Doesn't have to be Akhtar level but to consistently manage 144kph is not too much to expect. Where has this boys pace gone?

They don't have the physical attributes or passion to bowl out and out fast that is why there hasn't been any in the last 10 years or so.

 

[UP]

Can we fake abbas injury and bring sohail khan

Khan is a same trundler who hufs and pufs at 120 kph.

 

[Markhor]

Gonna be a long day. Poor lines and no plans once again.

 

[shariqnoor]

Missing the days when NZ had openers like

Matthew Horne
Craig Spearman
Matthew Bell
Hamish Marshall
Tim McIntosh

Walking wickets all of them.

Who are these Lathams and Blundells going against the trend.

 

[Ozeirk]

Lol what a joke. Guys it's going to turn into a borefest

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Trundler alert

 

[Ozeirk]

Our bowlers were better. These bowlers will make anyone into Lara and Tendulkar.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Lol what a joke. Guys it's going to turn into a borefest

Ho jaye bhai so what. NZL will have to bat last here. I am not predicting result this early.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

This is like Bangladesh pace bowling.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

When i look at India bowling attack, well sharam KO mukaam hai hamara liye.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Poor start. Naseem needs to go short and aggressive. The pitch is flatter than the top of my desk, so there's no point in bowling line/lenght.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Poor start. Naseem needs to go short and aggressive. The pitch is flatter than the top of my desk, so there's no point in bowling line/lenght.

I would go full and come close to the wicket and aim for lbw.

 

[shariqnoor]

Ho jaye bhai so what. NZL will have to bat last here. I am not predicting result this early.

Are you sure they are not going to get a lead of 200?

 

[PakPremi]

Sohail K would have caused more false shots then Abbas, even if he gave few run or two more in each over. I knew playing Abbas over him was a bad idea.

 

[Yk313]

Neither of Latham or Blundell is actually class. Pretty much another reflection of our bowling reserves declining.

 

[Ozeirk]

Unless game gets decided by 3rd innings. Lol

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Is ghatia Misbah ko kon samjaye.

 

[Belawal2014]

Waqas Maqsood would have been handy here.

 

[sindhiboy]

Pak haven't bowled badly. Openers have batted well

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Where is the planning, then this management say hamain blame na karein yeh abhi cricket sikhe rahe hain.

 

[Rana]

Abbas is such a lazy fielder

 

[Yk313]

This is a hard square and things can unravel very quickly here. RR control will be very difficult - only wickets can keep it in check as we saw yesterday. Even then PAK had periods of ~4.0 RPO.

 

[Belawal2014]

Welp. 400+ on the cards, as predicted. Gonna switch over to the Lakers' game.

 

[Ozeirk]

What do you guys expect of Zafar Gohar here?

 

[UzmanBeast]

I would go full and come close to the wicket and aim for lbw.

These batsmen have covered their stumps well, it should be short and yorkers. Anything to produce a wicket.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Until we find a leader Pakistan cricket will suffer. We need Dhoni of Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Naseem needs to bowl to Blundell here

 

[UzmanBeast]

What do you guys expect of Zafar Gohar here?

Has to take wickets now since the opening bowlers did nothing. A lot depends on him, Naseem and Faheem.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I would bring gohar here and see what happens.

 

[PakPremi]

Shaheen fielding has improved even though bowling has not much this year.

 

[Belawal2014]

Until we find a leader Pakistan cricket will suffer. We need Dhoni of Pakistan.

This messiah/savior mentality is actually what's caused the downfall of Pakistan cricket. We always seem to be in search of the next Imran or Wasim, when in fact, all you need is 11 competent cricketers who play as a TEAM.

 

[moghul]

Talking to media, Younis Khan keep mentioning he is working with this YOUNG Pakistan batting line up, who is young among Abid, Shaan, Azhar, Harris and Fawad ?

How often it has happened that not a single specialist batsman is playing eleven was not under 30, any stat guru here ?

 

[Ozeirk]

Has to take wickets now since the opening bowlers did nothing. A lot depends on him, Naseem and Faheem.

He might be a surprise factor. I am sure with Yasir they had prepared well.

 

[Rana]

Boys stay patient here

The game is still in the balance

 

[UzmanBeast]

Naseem's shortened run up is the cause for his recent decline. He needs to go back to his original longer runup wich he clocked 145kph normally with.

 

[Jonty]

Why can’t this kid just do a full run up and just bowl fast. Who cares if you spray it. Waqars not there, just bowl like your old self.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

This is like watching how the opposition used to bowl to misbah when shahid afridi was next into bat

 

[Ozeirk]

Gun barrel straight from Faheem

 

[Omer2002]

This wicket looks more deader by the minute..

 

[hitthestump]

What do you guys expect of Zafar Gohar here?

Gohar is here to offer control.

If we needed a spinner to attack then Yasir Shah would have played.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This messiah/savior mentality is actually what's caused the downfall of Pakistan cricket. We always seem to be in search of the next Imran or Wasim, when in fact, all you need is 11 competent cricketers who play as a TEAM.

In that many years we have only found 1 competent player that is Babar.

 

[Ozeirk]

Boys stay patient here

The game is still in the balance

The balance that's tilting towards newzealand

 

[UzmanBeast]

Boys stay patient here

The game is still in the balance

Once the 50 partnership comes up, we'll lose control like we always do.

 

[Suleiman]

Is naseem still bowling filth? Can only follow written commentary not able to watch rn

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

What do you guys expect of Zafar Gohar here?

Worst wicket to debut for a spinner.

 

[hitthestump]

Naseem's shortened run up is the cause for his recent decline. He needs to go back to his original longer runup wich he clocked 145kph normally with.

He needs to go a little further back than that. Back to domestics.

Just shocking. It took Misbah and Waqar a year to undo Mickey's hard work.
