*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Mike5181]

Not sure I follow? Don't make them retire?

Bat for two days...they get tired as ****....then our rested bowlers rip through them on the third day...Blackcaps face a demoralized Pakistan team in the first test.

 

[Days of Grace]

Yeah, I'd retire McCullum at the end of the day. Not a first-class game so no records can possibly be broken.

Let Jimmy take over for day 2.

 

[Bahnz]

McCullum is in insane form atm...its a shame we don't have more tests to play until November. He could really start churning out the runs and start having the record his talent over the years has shown glimpses of.

We'll be back in Bangladesh around May I think, so he'll have another opportunity between now and November.

 

[Xuhaib]

Pakistan looking toothless without Aamer,Asif and Kaneria reckon Gul should get a breather from tests if he doesn't fire in this series and hopefully no more Tanveer Ahmed and Sohail Tanveer after this both are rubbish.

 

[Athlai]

Can honestly see both taking wickets later in this series.

 

[Hurricane]

McCullum out - almost run a ball stuff.

I guess they have to start evening things out to make the whole Test Championship thing work. Hmm Bangladesh.

 

[_Ed_]

Shame there's no footage of McCullum's knock. Would have been great to watch.

This has to be one of the most toothless attacks from Pakisan in a long time.

 

[Hurricane]

If it wasn't for McCullum NZ might have been in a spot of bother so don't think it was that toothless.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Sohail Tanveer is a terrible Test bowler, decent T20 bowler
He misses the T20s and is picked for the test matches.
PCB logic

Unfit Akhtar at 35 is still better than these clowns.

I think this is just a stop gap attack as they wait on verdict of the spot fixing case.

 

[Black_Warrior]

We all know what the verdict is going to be. At best, Aamer and Asif will not be available for at least the next 3 years. No point trying to make matters worse by playing bowlers like Sohail Tanveer.

Tanvir Ahmed - I would give him one more series just out of respect of his 6 wicket haul against South Africa on dead pitches.

Gul should be dropped from the test side.

Rehman and Ajmal are doing a decent job..No need for Kaneria really..

Riaz, Junaid Khan, Tanveer Ahmed should be the seam attack.

What happened to Md. Irfan?

Are you sure you're not saying that so that Pakistani selectors come across this thread, see a local Kiwi say that, pick both in the tests and NZ score 500/4 dec in both tests and score innings victories?

 

[Black_Warrior]

What happened to Md. Irfan?

He pissed off Afridi and the team management no longer see him as a potential.

Doing well in the FC matches, isn't he? Has potential to be a gun test bowler imo.

 

[smash84]

The only thing Md Irfan has going for him is his height.....nothing special on the international circuit on his first outing and was a terrible terrible fielder

Was dire in his first outing, but I'd give him the benifit of doubt. His FC record is pretty impressive tbf.
