[VIDEO] New Zealand win 1st Test by 101 runs despite heroics by Fawad Alam (102) and M. Rizwan (60)

[Rana]

Has to be a bump ball

 

[Rana]

Bump ball for sure.

 

[imshally81]

Not out...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was Rizwan even thinking playing at such a wide delivery

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is too keep to fetch

 

[Firebat]

Lucky Rizwan, should not be chasing that ball

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Bump Ball hehe

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

What was Rizwan even thinking playing at such a wide delivery

He is not that focused anymore because of the issues he is having.

This should be a wake up call.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan needs to gather himself and focus

 

[Rana]

Fawad needs to farm the strike here

Rizwan is looking extremely shaky

 

[Ozeirk]

C'mon Rizwan

 

[Tubs]

Commentators were so happy again, haha!

'That's out for me'

LOL

 

[imshally81]

New Zealandanders are true drama queen...

 

[Space Cat]

That little break with the eyes broke his concentration. Hes lucky there because that was not a good shot.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Patience is the key to success

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Fawad needs to farm the strike here

Rizwan is looking extremely shaky

He he has been pretty solid.

 

[Ozeirk]

That little break with the eyes broke his concentration. Hes lucky there because that was not a good shot.

My mind goes to 99 world Cup when Saeed Anwar broke his concentration by changing the bat grip.

 

[unemployedgm]

Selectors....

The System robbed Fawad and others like him.

There are two common denominators(Misbah and Waqar)

 

[Rana]

You can trust Fawad here to play out the rest of the day

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Fawad needs to farm the strike here

Rizwan is looking extremely shaky

Have been saying that for a hour now. Need a better game plan. No shame in rejecting a few singles.

 

[adzzy786]

Did anyone else hear the New Zealand commentators during true review be like ‘Oh bugger it’s not out’

 

[Ahmed216]

We deserved10 years of Fawad but got 10 years of Misbah

 

[Rana]

Game on here.

 

[imshally81]

Extra excitements for commentators

 

[adzzy786]

My mind goes to 99 world Cup when Saeed Anwar broke his concentration by changing the bat grip.

Remember that like yesterday

 

[Rana]

Worst Delivery in the history of cricket

 

[Ozeirk]

Have been saying that for a hour now. Need a better game plan. No shame in rejecting a few singles.

Pakistan wasnt settling the world alight before them but our management has made a lot of mistakes over the decades

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Oh that ball, beauty

 

[PakPremi]

haven't took my eyes off this game

Me as well not often you see great fightback from Pak
New ball and pitch handful now.

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[Space Cat]

Did anyone else hear the New Zealand commentators during true review be like ‘Oh bugger it’s not out’

Yea that was Craig McMillan you can always hear him in the background.

 

[adzzy786]

Looking a bit shaky at the moment

 

[imshally81]

44 overs remaining?

 

[Space Cat]

NZ waiting for Pakistan to make a mistake here but with these two it may never come.

 

[saeed5646]

Need atleast 20 over more batting from them

 

[Belawal2014]

Nothing wrong with NZ commies wanting their team to win tbh.

 

[imshally81]

Shot yaar
4444

200 up

 

[angrypathan]

Well played

 

[Rana]

Fawad 94*

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries...

 

[saeed5646]

MASHALLAH fawad nearing hundred

 

[angrypathan]

Fadiiii

 

[Firebat]

Fawad Alam wow wow wow

 

[Space Cat]

Its baffling to me that this guy hasn't been selected for so long.

 

[Rana]

What a story man!

 

[PakPremi]

Fawad racing toward his 100 now

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

So much Fawad being "too old" to make it in test cricket lol as the age brigade was suggesting.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This is a brilliant partnership. I can’t even sleep

 

[Firebat]

5 minutes to survive til tea.

Then NZ will have to take 6 wickets in the final session to win

 

[saeed5646]

New ball is almost see off .hopefully rana is not nervous

 

[Rayyman]

FAWAD

 

[Rana]

Please Rizwan don’t mess this up

 

[Ahmed216]

Its baffling to me that this guy hasn't been selected for so long.

Ironically a guy renowned for his 'technique' was preferred over him

 

[Rana]

That’s it keep leaving

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Faadi bomaye

 

[Rana]

Even Sobers can’t believe the cameras are on him right now )

 

[Napa]

FAWAD

Guy is fearless.

 

[Space Cat]

Getting to that interesting point where the win is achievable but if you go for it you could also lose. Should be an interesting last session.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Wow, fawad alam has really surprised everyone. Its all about hard work and determination. He doesn’t have the technique yet he has survived most of day 5 and is on 94*.

I hope he gets his 100. Well deserved.

Win or lose, this is the fightback we need from the team. They need to get us through to the last 10 overs.

 

[heddie19]

Commentator just said 'Fawad needs triple fingers"

 

[angrypathan]

Getting to that interesting point where the win is achievable but if you go for it you could also lose. Should be an interesting last session.

Safety first with Misbah at the helm and for once I agree with him. Not enough batsmen in the dugout to ensure a draw if one of these guys get out attacking. Pakistan need to save this game and then go hard in the next one when Babar hopefully returns

 

[saeed5646]

This should be end of asad shafiq sorry career

 

[Rana]

Get off strike please!!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Fawad Alam really deserves that hundred. What an innings.

 

[Ahmed216]

Wow, fawad alam has really surprised everyone. Its all about hard work and determination. He doesn’t have the technique yet he has survived most of day 5 and is on 94*.

I hope he gets his 100. Well deserved.

Win or lose, this is the fightback we need from the team. They need to get us through to the last 10 overs.

His domestic stats deserved more respect and rewards

 

[daytrader]

The System robbed Fawad and others like him.

There are two common denominators(Misbah and Waqar)

What a joke. Misbah is the one giving Fawad a chance

 

[Rana]

Rizwan is really scaring the daylight out of me!

 

[praveen]

Great test match heading towards 5th day last session with all results possible.

 

[Rana]

Survive this one ball I beg you!

 

[PakPremi]

So no century before tea drama continues

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a session for us. Gonna sleep now. Hoping for some good news when I wake up

 

[Rana]

OMG

We survived 4 sessions!

 

[angrypathan]

What a joke. Misbah is the one giving Fawad a chance

Misbah was captain for 7 years while Fawad was scoring runs for fun in domestic cricket. He instead played Asad Shafiq, a vastly inferior batsman to Fawad, for all those years.

 

[Nasty Naz]

If they played slightly quicker earlier on, even at a 2.5 run rate, they would have quite a chance at that target.

 

[hur rizvi]

Well played guys. No need to relax

Keep the grit on

 

[volcyz]

Easy draw for Pakistan.

These 2 have batted sensationally

Amazing stuff

 

[Yk313]

What's the injury Rizwan is carrying?

 

[guna]

One o the best innings by a Pak batsman I have seen in the past decade. Fawad finally showing his class.

 

[owais1]

If they draw this, bruv it's going to feel like a huge win.

 

[hur rizvi]

What a joke. Misbah is the one giving Fawad a chance

Oh please. Justice delayed is justice denied
