Yasir Shah takes 10 wickets on Day 3 as New Zealand end day on 131/2 after following-on

[Chief Destroyer]

Bilal Asif here now let's see what he can do

He will bowl his harmless trash. Freaking playing with three bowlers here.

 

[solehria]

With looming rain threat , pakistan might not have a choice.

Its UAE doesnt rain for more than 2 hrs straight at a time shouldnt be a problem

 

[Aman]

Need to try survive 70 overs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

With looming rain threat , pakistan might not have a choice.

No more rain expected

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Need one more to expose the tail.

 

[Aman]

Maybe the reason Pakistan batted slow was due to the pitch? It isn't a flat patta, as NZ batsmen are finding out now.

Pakistan scored slow against everyone, we've been run through by a world class leg spinner who took 3 in one over.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Need to try survive 70 overs.

NZ obviously cannot defend here like Pakistan, they need to look for runs and avoid FO

 

[Aman]

NZ obviously cannot defend here like Pakistan, they need to look for runs and avoid FO

They need to get their eye in and then play their normal game, it's difficult coming in and facing that kind of turn especially for overseas players.

If we get rolled over today, there's zero chance of saving the Test.

 

[Sarwar89]

Yasir Shah has single handedly turned the game around in 1 over.

Follow on shall be the target now.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

What's the follow on?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Rather bowl Haris than Asif.

 

[Ab Fan]

Yasir just ran through NZ lineup. Watling and Williamson two dependable players, let's see what these two do. For Pak, it is only about one with here and there game it will be.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan scored slow against everyone, we've been run through by a world class leg spinner who took 3 in one over.

You're scoring at 2.17 RPO mate. Your lads are scoring slow against everyone too. They have just not been good enough to survive on this wicket.

 

[Aman]

You're scoring at 2.17 RPO mate. Your lads are scoring slow against everyone too. They have just not been good enough to survive on this wicket.

How many starts have they had in 29 overs? 9 overs last night to survive and 10 overs today to get in?

And obviously their mindset is going to be different, NZ aren't playing the first innings, a win has been taken out of the equation with Pakistan batting 2 days.

 

[Square Drive]

Need one more to expose the tail.

There's a tail in this line-up too?

The way they been batting, it seems like we got into the tail 29 overs ago.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What an over by Yasir, much needed. lets see if we can go for kill after lunch.

 

[Square Drive]

Wassup?

Just know, there's no stopping me from getting cocky this time round. This time issa W hundo.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

There's a tail in this line-up too?

Game's not over yet. We're kind of short on time and playing three bowlers. If we had another competent spinner, this over would've done it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rare to find any overs better than the one just bowled by yasir here in recent times.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Messi on fire today

 

[Square Drive]

Game's not over yet. We're kind of short on time and playing three bowlers. If we had another competent spinner, this over would've done it.

Honestly this has to be the last game of both Bilal and Hafeez's careers (Test career at the very least).

Bench Imam as well, because Fakhar and Azhar are simply better options right now.

Get Saad a game next Test to see what he's made up of ahead of SA.

And somehow get Gohar or even any other spinner in for the next Test man.

Idk what needs to be done to introduce Zafar to Inzamam.

 

[Square Drive]

Also [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION], with the bounce on offer, Bilal might just come into play here.

If not now, then never lol.

 

[NauV]

That break came at a very very good time for NZ. Yasir is a kind of bowler who when gets on a role is very difficult to stop . . so that break definitely will help NZ and they would hope Yasir would lose his grove or the usual "spring in Yasirs step" when he is bowling well

 

[Aman]

250 overs to survive and effectively 16 wickets left.

Need Kane and Watling to bat long, don't have much hope of the others lasting long against Yasir.

 

[Aman]

Yasir could end up with a big haul (7+), he's taken all the wickets so far.

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

15 now...

 

[Aman]

Run out

 

[Aman]

We're going to need one of those big second innings to save this Test.

 

[Aman]

I think we used all our luck in the first match to steal a Test

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Also [MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION], with the bounce on offer, Bilal might just come into play here.

If not now, then never lol.

2-3 wickets from him will do, then bin him next game.

 

[Aman]

Need to knock off as much of the 410 in this innings as we can and hope the batsmen get it together for the third innings.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Weren't there calls for Yasir to be dropped?

 

[PakPremi]

Top marks for Pak management for getting their approach 100% right on this low and slow pitch, also well done for Sarfraz for excelling in his captaincy as usual. The only negative in this match has been the selection of Hafeez and Bilal, hopefully we will see the end of these two by the end of series.

Still don't buy it.

Don't let Yasir running through us to justify it. He's on a different level to our spinners.

 

[PakPremi]

Weren't there calls for Yasir to be dropped?

LOL at those who were saying Yasir is finished just because he was off colour in the first test against Aus coming back form injury.

 

[Aman]

LMAO 6 down

What is going on here. A complete meltdown, 5 wickets in the space of 4 overs.

 

[BreadPakoda]

This is going to get over very soon.

 

[Aman]

At this rate we're going to lose by an innings.

I knew our batting was bad, but this is something else.

 

[PakPremi]

Still don't buy it.

Don't let Yasir running through us to justify it. He's on a different level to our spinners.

If you know Pak batting then you should know any other approach we would have been out for less than 300, which puts NZ in contention for win. Although I was also dumbfounded as well at Haris's approach after hitting the century, but it was obvious he was following orders. Even after scoring 300 if Pak tried to hit out they would have been bowled out for 350, our tail is useless - not enough to pressure on opposition.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Pakistani Marshall strikes.

 

[Oligochaetes]

What a day! What a wonderful day!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wow, school boy cricket from kiwis here.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Weren't there calls for Hasan to be dropped?

 

[Square Drive]

2-3 wickets from him will do, then bin him next game.

You really can't expect the poor fella to take wickets, when there are none left to be taken.

 

[Aman]

From 50/0 to 69/6.

Epic collapse.

 

[Pakprideuk]

We should bat again till lunch tomorrow. Tire NZ and scar them ahead of the 3rd test. Also allow the wicket to break up further.

 

[Usman Chadda]

LOL at those who were saying Yasir is finished just because he was off colour in the first test against Aus coming back form injury.

Every cricketer is finished in some people's eyes, until they perform. Some take a u-turn and make them a superhero, while the ones with an ego issue disappear from the forum. Either way, its entertaining

 

[Oligochaetes]

From 50/0 to 69/6.

Epic collapse.

It's not over yet, You could be all out before you get to 90

Williamson has to start hitting and score as many as he can.. Not that it will make much of a difference to the result.

 

[Aman]

Our batting looks woeful outside Kane and even he isn't scoring many runs.

Probably a good thing to cut back on Tests when you're this bad.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Pakistan we are best at collapse and collapse for 22-6
NZ no we are best at collapse and collapse for 19-6

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Keep dragging him outside, Hasan.

 

[Aman]

Pakistan we are best at collapse and collapse for 22-6
NZ no we are best at collapse and collapse for 19-6

If we're being honest, the standard of batting this series between both sides has been pretty poor.

 

[Aman]

1 run between our middle order )

 

[aukhan]

Yasir

 

[Aman]

Well deserved 5fer for Yasir.

Kane might as well hit out and get as many as he can, this innings and Test is pretty much gone.

Craig McMillian is still batting coach after all these failures, none of our batsmen can play a ball that moves a mm.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

1 run between our middle order )

Lmao, that's pretty funny.

 

[Pakprideuk]

Bowled shahji!!

 

[Aman]

Lmao, that's pretty funny.

When you're this bad, all you can do is enjoy the memes

 

[Chief Destroyer]

C'mon, bowl em under 100.

 

[Square Drive]

Man how did we drop a Test to this lot.

Ah well.

 

[Aman]

4 s this innings.

 

[Aman]

LMAO another one, this is beyond pathetic.

How can you roll over like this at this level?

 

[Oligochaetes]

Mannnnnnnnn Yasir could have got a 10-fer this innings!!!!

 

[Aman]

Yasir is going to end up with 8 at this rate.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0.

 

[Suleiman]

Watch Sarfraz go for the follow on

 

[Aman]

Performances like this is why cricket is not that popular in NZ.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Watch Sarfraz go for the follow on

He better.

 

[angeldsoul]

We should make nz follow on even if they make 400 we will get In on last dat requiring 60/70 odd which even we can't mess up!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Mannnnnnnnn Yasir could have got a 10-fer this innings!!!!

That is one the rarest record in test cricket

 

[Aman]

Yasir has taken 6 wickets in 20 odd balls.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Time for Williamson to score quickly as much as he can.

 

[NauV]

LMAO another one, this is beyond pathetic.

How can you roll over like this at this level?

Because this has been as good of a display of leg spin bowling as you can remember! And also . . This pitch isn't as straight forward as your posts over the past 2 days have suggested!
KW, Ross and Latham are quality batsman!

 

[Aman]

Jesus are the rest of our batsmen just that bad, Williamson is making it look fine out there while the others are getting rolled after 1-2 deliveries.

 

[NauV]

This has been an incredible spell by Yasir Shah! Joy to watch . .

 

[BreadPakoda]

19/7 in last 5 overs

 

[Aman]

Because this has been as good of a display of leg spin bowling as you can remember! And also . . This pitch isn't as straight forward as your posts over the past 2 days have suggested!

Latham's was a poor shot, Ross got a jaffa and Watling was run out. The rest aren't at the level to be facing Yasir.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So Pakistan seem to be all over NZ today from what I hear.

 

[JaDed]

Oh wow tremendous from.Yasir!

 

[Amjid Javed]

High quality spin bowling, what a spell by yasir.
