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

[Zinzan]

Crowe was right when he said Tuffey looks to have a better technique than some of the top order batsmen

 

[Zinzan]

I hate to say this but honestly this is some pretty poor umpiring that hit the back leg......was dead plumb....very poor decision by the ump.........Dan's being protected by special interest here........

Yeah I thought that was out at first glance, later confirmed by Virtual.

Surely Doctrove has to be the worst in the elite panel these days

 

[Zinzan]

Magnificent catch that

 

[Hurricane]

Great catch by Pak they must have been listening to Faisal

 

[Faisal1985]

Umar Akmal takes a ripper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was surely unlike Pakistani.............!!!!!!!!!!

Well batted Danny.....deserve this century, guy worked hard............

 

[Zinzan]

Hopefully Southee & Tuffey will have a bit of fun & we can squeeze out another 50 quick runs for the last 3 wickets

 

[Faisal1985]

Great catch by Pak they must have been listening to Faisal

literaly was amazing to watch it live.........and posting the feelings here........priceless...........

 

[Hurricane]

I am not sure about the decision to bat Southee ahead of O'Brien - I will be interested to see how the youngster goes.

 

[nz0003]

That was pretty plum. Disappointing, thought these two could have a bit of a tonk.

 

[Zinzan]

Shock horror ! Doctrove gets a decision right

 

[silentstriker]

That was such an amazing catch. Couldn't believe it. Sad to see Vettori go though, he is quickly becoming my favorite cricketer, even if he does bowl some stop and fetch it stuff.

How many players have carried more of their team on their own shoulders? Hadlee? Anyone else?

 

[Faisal1985]

Hopefully Southee & Tuffey will have a bit of fun & we can squeeze out another 50 quick runs for the last 3 wickets

Another 50 runs and Pak will be playing for draw....they will already be doing that......

Southee gone ..........so another 50 runs unlikely unless, a late flurry comes in from Tuffey.....

 

[JBH001]

Kaneria finally gets an LBW his way. Well bowled.

 

[GGG]

I hate to say this but honestly this is some pretty poor umpiring that hit the back leg......was dead plumb....very poor decision by the ump.........Dan's being protected by special interest here........

exactely, McCullum should still be in.

 

[Faisal1985]

Hard picking Kaneria for O'Brien... he is playing of the pitch ......

 

[silentstriker]

Another 50 runs and Pak will be playing for draw....they will already be doing that......

Southee gone ..........so another 50 runs unlikely unless, a late flurry comes in from Tuffey.....

3 days left....that's a long time to bat out. If they do bat for two days, they will have more than enough to have a go at NZ for a few sessions.

 

[Howsie]

Southee's better of having a swing tbh.

 

[Faisal1985]

exactely, McCullum should still be in.

And Dan should have been long gone yesterday.....remember the appeal on Asif or Umar's ball (don't remember who exactly)...that hit him on back foot? .....there was not hawkeye or hot spot analysis given by the commentators for some reason....... i wonder why...

 

[Faisal1985]

3 days left....that's a long time to bat out. If they do bat for two days, they will have more than enough to have a go at NZ for a few sessions.

With that kind of lead.....? hmmmm...... well its evident that 200-250 target here will be chaseable on this pitch......and for Pak to do that they will still need to post at least 450 on the board...(considering NZ lead stays around 200)...very hard looking at Pak batting level of confidence......someone will have to play a quick fire innings.....

 

[Faisal1985]

Kaneria's fingers are probably gone..........lol.........bowled a lot of overs.......his skin came off ...ouch!
