**Official** Pakistan in New Zealand (3 tests)

[Craig]

Ross Taylor, noooooooooo

 

[straw man]

Sad face. Taylor becoming our nervous nineties man.

And I was just thinking if he could get past 100 he'd be on for a really big one (with a couple more dropped catches thrown in of course).

[Blakey]

Called it - Taylor does a Fleming, again.

Get use to this happening all through his career. He slowed up too much.

Game over.

McIntosh: 0(1) 31(136) 4(21) 2(4) = 37 runs at 9.25
Guptill: 60(142) 0(4) 0(4) 15(52) = 75 runs at 18.75
Flynn: 8(14) 0(4) 29(74) 20(39) = 57 runs at 14.25
Taylor: 94(174) 59(83) 30(40) 97(135) = 280 runs at 70
Fulton: 29(73) 0(8) 0(2) 13(55) = 44 runs at 11
Elliott: 8(33) 25(101) 20(54) 6(19) = 59 runs at 14.75

So only Vettori and the weather stands in our way now. Still not in the bag.

 

[Athlai]

Good innings, gutted he couldn't ton up.

 

[NUFAN]

Taylor > Watson.

Grinds my gears these cricketers who get out in the 90s so often. Too many batsman are self obsessed with landmarks such as 100. The rest of the NZ top 6 get nervous in the teens.

Nah, I'm not really serious, really hope NZ eventually have a healthy batting order someday soon.

 

[Athlai]

Just shows how good this match would've been if we had put another 100 on the board in the first innings.

 

[NZTailender]

Vettori's not wasting his time, is he?!

 

[Athlai]

Vettori's not wasting his time, is he?!

Good plan I reckon, the bowlers don't like being attacked and when we cloister up they just end up working us over. I reckon we'll see a similar approach in Napier at stages.

206 to get with 4 wickets remaining.

If they do it in blocks, it will get easier and easier. 199 seems easier to chase than 200+, and 99 is better than a hundred. A mental thing.

 

[Raghav]

are you kidding me? its a very bad word

its as equally bad as other English abusive words, I read here

If these guys put on another 100 then I will start to believe, good series anyway.

Kaneria is now Pakistan's highest wicket taking spinner. Yet he's FAR behind Qadir/Mushy/Saqi in my book.

 

[Hurricane]

What was the joke?

Aamir to make something happen here. The go to boy.

There was an infamous post a couple of months ago.

What's with all these people putting down Patel? He's doing the best he can. I'd like to see one of u go out there and do one millionth as well as Patel. U people need to pull ur head in

 

[Hurricane]

Guess Kaniera does have a googly. Bad luck Tuffey.

 

[Craig]

Congratulations Pakistan. My hunch at this stage is that Fulton will get the axe (and probably never play again at Test level) and Broom will come in.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Can't believe Malik is an international cricketer with that bull****.

 

[Fusion]

This is possibly the worst fielding display ever by a Pakistani team. And that's saying a lot.
