yeah. This is an absolute terrible collapse. The bowling attack was worse than 3rd rate.Pakistan just holds something over us. Test cricket collapses, world cup semi finals...we just collapse in a heap from nowhere.
Eh...Wahab looks decent, and Gul is always a threat with the old ball. But when lined up next to the attack that took on Australia and England earlier in the year...you're right, there's no comparisonyeah. This is an absolute terrible collapse. The bowling attack was worse than 3rd rate.
Keep it up Xuhaib.......the more you curse this bowling attack the better results it is providing...it works...wtf just happened? how did this bowling attack won us the game?
lol.......very well written straw man.Expletives fail me.
When I last checked the score we were 32/0 and I thought "hey, that's looking good. Maybe McIntosh is good for his once-per-series score and we'll erase that deficit without too much trouble." And then I get home and the match is OVER!!!!!!! How???!! What? Why is this happening?! No, surely not.
I only had Cricinfo and CW to look at to work out what happened... so let's see... drop numerous catches, bowl a bunch of pies, let tail-enders slog runs. Then come out to bat and make the performance in the field actually look good in comparison. Not sure if I can bare to watch replays of the dismissals unless it's for any humour present in seeing McIntosh dismiss himself for almost the third time in the innings while still on 3, or Guptill playing a very responsible slog-sweep, or Taylor and Williamson conspiring to get Taylor run out since he'd narrowly failed to do the same in the first innings.
**** **** ****!
Of course the umpiring was a complete *&$&-up and that always seems to play a part in these debacles, and of course the ICC are a bunch of ****s who clearly couldn't care less about quality of officiating in matches, especially between smaller nations. But that is no excuse.
Terrible timing as well for this to happen, with the IPL auctions last night. Talkback and the other peanut galleries around will be abuzz with chatter about this, and for once it's hard to disagree.
Well done Pakistan, I guess. You managed to show up to the ground on time and apparently that's all that was necessary.
u r making me feel good about ourselves .....and it is all thanks to NZone thing you have to give it to Pakistan even during our worst period for the last 30 years we have not lost the knack of nothing up away test wins, something that not many teams can claim too.
nowadays?Congratzz Pakistan for the win...And NZ shud pick up............their batsman are really ****ty nowadays
Some decent bowling but mostly just horrible, horrible batting.Can someone explain what happened? The pitch looked flat. Terrible batting, good bowling, both?
It was an overall poor quality game of kallisball tbh.Some decent bowling but mostly just horrible, horrible batting.
and it ended within 3 daysIt was an overall poor quality game of kallisball tbh.
apparently Kallis is so good in all aspects of the game that PEWS decided to call cricket as Kallisball. I hope I had understood the concept correctly. I believe this is the thinking behind this idea.Prince EWS aware me on kallisball.
Indeed. Jacques Kallis is cricket.apparently Kallis is so good in all aspects of the game that PEWS decided to call cricket as Kallisball. I hope I had understood the concept correctly. I believe this is the thinking behind this idea.
