**Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Absolute muppet.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shoould be given not out for stupidity surely

 

[hendrix]

I think he hit that but the precedent with Sarfraz' own wicket is that the decision needs more conclusive evidence.

 

[Flem274*]

Kudos to Sarfraz for appealing like a real cricketer. The Banshee of Bangladesh to take note.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

He's had a pretty terrible series behind the stumps.

 

[Athlai]

Haha shocker. And cricinfo too, you don't say its out when the fielding team is reviewing.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Sarfraz just so stoked to have caught one cleanly.

 

[Hurricane]

Sarfraz did that on purpose, waste time with a review.

This - they don't want to be batting anytime soon.

 

[Zinzan]

Oh well, only 11 runs short of when they were going to declare for mine.

 

[NZTailender]

Will they take an early lunch?

 

[Flem274*]

damn, might be a while before we get another great chance to score 700.

 

[morgieb]

Not quite 700, but still their biggest total ever. Congrats.

 

[Hurricane]

damn, might be a while before we get another great chance to score 700.

This. I wanted 700 as well.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Will they take an early lunch?

Not even an hour has been done this morning.

 

[NZTailender]

This. I wanted 700 as well.

Same.

Although given the state of Sri Lanka's pace attack we could get a chance at home...

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Would've been cool if Boult hit a boundary.

 

[Athlai]

Not even an hour has been done this morning.

11sies?

 

[NZTailender]

Not even an hour has been done this morning.

True

 

[Senile Sentry]

So Pak needs to bat out 165 overs on day 4 and 5. NZ's decision to play 3 spinners better come good, because they're unlikely to get such chances in future.

My call is that NZ will win with a day to spare.

 

[social]

Long way to go but reckon a NZ draw in this series should be rated very highly
