Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd Test- Day 4 | Napier | 14/12/09

[Afridi_Fan]

So Pakistan are 120 behind with all 10 wickets in hand. We need to wipe out the deficit 1st. Then with wickets in hand if we can get a sizeable lead till the end of the day. Then with Kaneria on day 5 pitch along with fit aamir and co we will be able to win the game. Once again all negativity stays out of here. Period.

Gooooooo Pakistan.

[Mohsin]

100s GALORE INSH'ALLAH!

[Gollum]

Lets try to play out the day. I hope we wipe out the deficit and score enough so that we can give may be 2 sessions to our bowlers on the fifth day.

[JeeraBlade]

I hope, we can save the test because win is totally out.

[Seen Sheen]

Looking forward to a ':moyo special'

Looking forward to a ':moyo special'

Defecting to IPL?

Joke....

only 2 sessions! :13:

[Zechariah]

I presume Butt and Farhat will wipe the lead off by lunch and then they come out play a bit faster and they send in Umar Akmal who would play super fast, only then we can get a good lead by the end of the day and send NZ into bat tomorrow morning.

[cricket_fever]

Looking forward to a ':moyo special'
i have a feeling that he will inshallah hit a hundred today,........he has to......he just has to....cummon captain show us what u are made out of.....cummon moyo..help save this test :moyo

i have always envied your positivity

aameen

[Geordie Ahmed]

The priority is to save the match - there is a very, very slim chance of winning BUT there is still a heck of a lot to do before that

[iafzal]

If we had likes of Sehwag we could have thought about winning the match. Right now we should make sure we do not lose this match. We need to bat all day 4 and then an hour of day 5 to guaranttee that this will be a draw. If Kineria pulls a super special on day 5 then we may even have a chance to win but first things first.

[saj001]

Survive first 30 minutes then up the tempo. After we wipe out the lead we are gonna see some dirty/negative tactics by cashmish so scoring at quick rate might be the problem

[sali]

hey guys. Any chance of rain today?

[*sallu*]

C'mon
Please someone play some miraculous innings today

A 100 at a run a ball from one of the Akmals is needed in order for us to set a target

[daghetto]

we need umar to play his a-game today, which he will on this pitch easily.tailenders will need to do a VERY important job too, staying on the field as long as possible, scoring singles atleast

[12thMan]

I can only hope to have some single/double taken regularly (3 runs an over in first session) and Pakistan all out at 480-500 by early tomorrow morning so there is no issue of declaration. The issue will only come if Pakistan had NZ 8 down and play called off or it could be opposite that NZ win by 1-2 wickets and 5 overs left and Pakistan had declared. Both will make a great match

[Afridi_Fan]

i have always envied your positivity
:afridi

[Daytripped]

When is it gonna start?

When is it gonna start?
In 39 minutes InshALLAH (11:30 NZ Time)

Inshallah, first Pakistan should see out the score, and then increase their run-rate. Inshallah, if Allah wants, we can win this inshallah! GO Pakistan!

[Nazir_ Rules]

Dont know? I tried to look for it too.

[Daytripped]

100s GALORE INSH'ALLAH!



Insh'allah. To make up for those three consecutive ducks.

[iafzal]

we need 2 centurions in the 2nd innings

[Afridi_Fan]

is this Fantasy cricket thread ??
Bangla Desh is not in the tournament. So, don't bother. Move on.

[Afridi_Fan]

Someone with a quick ton, may be in one session after the deficit has been erased will set it up nicely for day 5.

[On_the_up]

OK lets be positive (with a hint of realism thrown in).

Morning session
80 for the loss of one of the openers and Bhanja (you said be positive not expect miracles)

Afternoon session
The other opener goes plus Mohammad Yousuf gets a well made 50 odd, say 85 more runs in this session. This leaves Pakistan effectively 45-3

Evening session
This is where Pakistan can put the pressure on New Zealand, One or both of the Akmal brothers so score a quick 50 odd with good support form Mohammad Yousuf. Lets say Yousuf goes for 80 odd, one Akmal gets 60 odd and the other remains not out. 120 runs in the session for the loss of 2 more wkts. Pak around 400-5 or effectively 165-5.

If they manage to bat till just beyond lunch in the last day, the match should be safe.

As I posted in another thread, we strongly need to first secure a draw. Can't emphasize that enough.

There are 4 tests played at Napier that have gone into the 4th inning. Here are the 4th inning totals and results:

Test 1292 (SL won): NZ 185 all out @ 2.2 runs/over
Test 1746 (match drawn): SL 7 for no loss @ 4.7 runs/over
Test 1868 (ENG won): NZ 431 all out @ 3.6 runs/over
Test 1900 (match drawn): NZ 220 for 5 @ 4.3 runs/over

What this means is that we'll need to give NZ an asking rate of AT LEAST 4.0 runs/over.

If we are to bowl at them for 70 overs, that's a target of 280, meaning we make 280 + 248 = 528 total, or 528 - 128 = 400 in the next 90 + 20 = 110 overs.

If we are to bowl at them for 80 overs, that's a target of 320, meaning we make 320 + 248 = 568 total, or 568 - 128 = 440 in the next 90 + 10 = 100 overs.

To score another 400+ runs, we need at least 2 new 100s and a couple of 50s. Probably too drastic a change from 3 middle-order ducks in the first inning?

More importantly, we need to really increase our own scoring rate once the deficit has been converted to a lead of 100 or more.

[insaaniyat]

Bangla Desh is not in the tournament. So, don't bother. Move on.
good one, you could have said india too:) lol

[Daytripped]

Wasn't it starting thirty minutes early today?

[daghetto]

most importantly we'll need to get gulla and aamer to be on the field for as LONG as possible

Now thats is very helpful.

Taylor & McCallum are their fast scorers - I still think secure the draw 1st & foremost though

ITS FREEEE :)

[Oxy]

Wasn't it starting thirty minutes early today?

Why? No stoppages yesterday

[iZeeshan]

I really don't think Pakistan are going to go for the win, until like, MAYBE the last session today, if that. But I really hope they surprise me and do, because draws are boring.

If we can wipe the lead out by lunch, I'd be very surprised.

[Cover Drive]

Why? No stoppages yesterday
Yeahh but when yesterdays play ended they said it will start at 11:30 NZ time :(

[daghetto]

today is the KEY day !!!!!!!!1

[sali]

We need another 150 runs partnership from top 5s.

[Oxy]

Yeahh but when yesterdays play ended they said it will start at 11:30 NZ time :(

That was their programme start time - not start of play.

[germanboy]

Salam bro kya haal hai sab ka?

match about to start 20 min. to go

[germanboy]

We need another 150 runs partnership from top 5s.

u mean 280-5 out?

[daghetto]

how many reviews do pak have left?

[germanboy]

how many reviews do pak have left?

both

[daghetto]

both


then they will be a very important factor too

[Mohsin]

'I though Mohammad Yousuf's captaincy was AWEFUL' - M Crowe


He is wrong?? Dont think so...

[saadjhussain]

we need one of the openers to hit a double century if we are to save this match

[Afridi_Fan]

how many reviews do pak have left?
:)) good question.

[Afridi_Fan]

we need one of the openers to hit a double century if we are to save this match
How about 4 out of top 5 hit centuries. Even then we will lose?

[cricketpassion]

Coverage has started already on ZEE .Uncle Inti's interview on

[iafzal]

'I though Mohammad Yousuf's captaincy was AWEFUL' - M Crowe


He is wrong?? Dont think so...
somewhat harsh but not far from the truth.

[12thMan]

'I though Mohammad Yousuf's captaincy was AWEFUL' - M Crowe


He is wrong?? Dont think so...It looked like he also said Farhat can play for 5 more years. I am guessing he is going by how he batted and not that he got a century and that it will be rememberd in Pakistan for next 3 years

[germanboy]

we have to put 500 runs here at least

500-248= 252 is still chaseable but if we get 500 runs will means we will play till Lunch Day 5

[germanboy]

Good chance for opener to reach 100s

[daghetto]

lol, i say we get 550 runs,

[germanboy]

7min. to go

[germanboy]

Tab ODDS

yaar can anyone explain me these things?

[daghetto]

what do u all think will happen if 1 wicket drops quickly today?

[12thMan]

RR will go to 0.98 and another wicket will fall in next 3 overs

[germanboy]

watch the RR for last 10 overs 1.00 lol

[Afridi_Fan]

what do u all think will happen if 1 wicket drops quickly today?
I'll be really pissed at you.

:pissed:

[daghetto]

Here Weeeeeeeeee Go!

[germanboy]

Match about to start and both openers are walking

[161]

[germanboy]

I'll be really pissed at you.

:pissed:

[germanboy]

[Afridi_Fan]

Expect anything. Don't hold your breaths. Welcome to Pakistan Cricket. :D

[germanboy]

Outtttttttt

[daghetto]

LOL

[*sallu*]

Starting with Guptill
and it has succeeded

Omg

[Daytripped]

what do u all think will happen if 1 wicket drops quickly today?



I blame you!!

[daghetto]

so what do you think will happen now after the 2nd wicket drops?



:P

[12thMan]

Butt scoops one back to Guptil
Pak 129-1 - trail by 119

[Afridi_Fan]

There you go. The legend Guptill strikes. :)))

[germanboy]

what do u all think will happen if 1 wicket drops quickly today?

Khush ho gei tum?

[sali]

Butt butt should be kicked for being so casual

[Desi]

speechless

tame ****ing dismissal

[Omar Malik]

Zabardast start for Pakistan

Butt gives a scoop catch to Guptil

[Afridi_Fan]

so what do you think will happen now after the 2nd wicket drops?



:P
:pissed:

[Mohsin]

Its a Pakistani cricket tradition:

Part-timers....WICKETS
Openers survive day before.....1 will go straight away

[On_the_up]

what do u all think will happen if 1 wicket drops quickly today?
About to find out

[germanboy]

so what do you think will happen now after the 2nd wicket drops?



:P

you think you are funny i dont think so at all

[BA.NBT]

faisal iqbal.... oh god help us

[12thMan]

Stylish run machine Faisal is giving the proper treatment. Batting at a SR of 100

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Bloody hell what were the odds on that million to 1 ? bowlers like that no matter what is happening you cant give them the respect butt looked like giving him...

Lets see what Iqbal can do now.. a player who i still cant get my head around to can play for Pakistan ... i hope he proves me wrong for the 1st time

[Omar Malik]

130-1

[Afridi_Fan]

130/1

[Omar Malik]

Salman Butt half asleep :)))

Lazy shot

[*sallu*]

They are making this straighforward bowler look muraliesque

[iZeeshan]

sigh, that can't be helpful!

[Desi]

Bloody hell what were the odds on that million to 1 ? bowlers like that no matter what is happening you cant give them the respect butt looked like giving him...

don't count on it

[daghetto]

you think you are funny i dont think so at all

i dont, i think im thinkin ahead,and look it happened.always expect it

[Daytripped]

It's not the end of the world. If we were playing like we usually do we'd be 130 - 4. or worse.

[Daytripped]

The Kiwi commentators are reallllyy rubbing it in.

[Omar Malik]

Punched away by Bhanja for 2

[pak4life]

the -118 seems a long way away now
Good captaincy from danny boy butts concentration was awol as usual.

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok, some intent being shown. A couple.

[Omar Malik]

The Kiwi commentators are reallllyy rubbing it in.


They surely are - Cant blame them though!

[germanboy]

Bhanja jab khel raha hota aisa lagta hai abhi out ho gei ga

[12thMan]

Pakistan research and development department has now discovered a new all-rounder. I expect to see more of Guptil from now. He was not sure of himself plus the team was not supportive

[Omar Malik]

Good shot by Bhanja for 3

[don1990]

3 runs

[Afridi_Fan]

3 more.

[Noman]

3 to bhanja....

[*sallu*]

Iqbal looking decent

[germanboy]

but a good batting pitch give Bhanja 3 runs

[Afridi_Fan]

Martin "Murali" Guptill.

[Omar Malik]

6 off this over with 1 ball to go

[Omar Malik]

136-1

[Afridi_Fan]

136/1

[don1990]

136/1

[Noman]

I can get it? how can butt get out like this in a test match playing for your country?

[germanboy]

i think Farhat is all set to hit a 100 here again

[germanboy]

shot for 4

[don1990]

44444444 by bhanja

[Afridi_Fan]

:four

[Omar Malik]

Bhanja dances down and hits Guptil for

:four

[Daytripped]

I won't lie. That scared the living daylights out of me.

but 4!

[iZeeshan]

Four from Faisal!

Come on, erase that deficit!

[Seen Sheen]

Thats how you play a part timer..
:four to Bhanja

[Omar Malik]

A bit aerial again

[Afridi_Fan]

143/1

[germanboy]

well Bhanja just hit few runs to get some kind of confident as Farhat get some runs and playing nicely

[iZeeshan]

If we don't collapse, a draw is safe.

Come on go for the kill! lol

[khanlala]

amazing knock by butt saab comes to an end...what a player to have in your team...i'm sure the opponent just hate to bowl at this legend...

[Afridi_Fan]

I just put my Tv on mute.

[germanboy]

first target is to get the 100 runs before Lunch without loosing a wicket

[Geordie Ahmed]

As Waqar would say, Bhanja looking in a good nick

[BA.NBT]

Life in New Zealand must be sh*t judging by the quality of the adverts on Sky Sport's live streaming

[IMMY69]

good 20 overs from farhat here and the game could quickly slip away from the kiwis

[Afridi_Fan]

Strike rate of 33 for Farhat.

[don1990]

little hesitation there but safe....

[*sallu*]

Shaky Start
not a a good sign

[<< Rashid >>]

So from being so sedate yesterday, which in turn meant they went to 128 - 0 at stumps, they seem to be wanting to jump up three gears here today.

[Seen Sheen]

Missing the leg stump..

[Omar Malik]

Billy says Not Out

Review probably is on the mind of Vettori

[Omar Malik]

No review taken

[Afridi_Fan]

Oh they didn't ask for review :P

[don1990]

lbw appeal but not out...

[tauseefm]

105 lead looks like 333 to me :(

[germanboy]

143-1

Farhat surive a good lat ball

[*sallu*]

I stand corrected

Very Shaky start

[Afridi_Fan]

Trail by 105

[Ayyub]

what if faisal iqbal and farhat score 100 run then :P

[germanboy]

I would love if Farhat hit some 4s here to Guptil

[Afridi_Fan]

Lots and lots of air fro Guptill

[Seen Sheen]

Farhat looking casual against Guptill..

[don1990]

shout for catch but safe....

[IMMY69]

I predict atleast a 50 from faisal.

[Desi]

Why should the rules on referrals change depending on which team uses it? Stupid logic...

[Afridi_Fan]

145-1

[Omar Malik]

Guptil providing NZ with some chances here

[don1990]

145/1

[germanboy]

what if faisal iqbal and farhat score 100 run then :P

Ayyub sahib tussi sahi ho jab maine avator lagaya huwa tha to sub pooch rahe the ke Ayyub wala avator kyoh lagaya huwa hai ab maine apna lagaya to tussi wi apna change kar liya bare shararti ho tussi

[*sallu*]

Oh Yaar
Cmon Farhat, play defensively if you want, but play confidently, hes looking tooo shaky

[sali]

We r making Guptal look like Murli. Common...take him for quick 20-30 runs and he will be out of there.

[Afridi_Fan]

Farhat as usual is not looking confident out there.

[germanboy]

Pak is under pressure here

[Afridi_Fan]

We r making Guptal look like Murli. Common...take him for quick 20-30 runs and he will be out of there.
Good suggestion :inti

[germanboy]

We r making Guptal look like Murli. Common...take him for quick 20-30 runs and he will be out of there.

yup i can remember a test match against India where Ganguly was taking wickets against Pakistan and i think it was Rana Naveed who come down the track and hit 4s and 6s and show how to play a part time bowler

[Inswinger]

Stop with the hatorade people.

[Afridi_Fan]

Trail by 102

[Inswinger]

We r making Guptal look like Murli. Common...take him for quick 20-30 runs and he will be out of there.
He's actually bowling well here. he's on target and is giving it some flight.

[germanboy]

Guptil to Farhat

[germanboy]

and out

[don1990]

farhat gone

[Omar Malik]

hahahahahaha

Farhat gone like Butt

[germanboy]

Umpires also have to laugh about it

[iZeeshan]

And Guptill gets another caught and bowled.

Farhat gone, wow.

[saj001]

farhat gone

[*sallu*]

Wow
What is going on?

[Afridi_Fan]

Would you believe it. :O

[Seen Sheen]

Thats ridiculous..I cant believe this!

[Omar Malik]

Fantastic stuff

[don1990]

wht the hell. :pissed:

[jusarrived]

lol this is funny

[Inswinger]

Guptill the man!!

[*sallu*]

This is pathetic stuff
Absolutely stone cold pathetic

[germanboy]

Pakistan is loooosing their way

[Mian Hassan]

ahahahahahah We have praised these 2 ttoooooooo much yesterdayy and now i am going to sleep

[sali]

hey guys are not fully awake

[Afridi_Fan]

Absorbing test match cricket by Pakistan. :)))

[Daytripped]

Ok we can still win/draw this people.
We have MoYo
Akmals
Misbah
and Aamer coming up.


Just so you guys don't lose hope. :p

[mindless slogging]

W T eff is going on here?

[germanboy]

Great M.Yousuf is there and let see what he have to say to Guptil

[sohaib17]

collapse ???

giving gifts to guptill

pathetic stuff from pak batters

[Inswinger]

We need a 100 run partnership here. Knock off the lead.

[daghetto]

LMAO..


so what happens if 3 wickets are down ?

[sada90]

This is pathetic stuff
Absolutely stone cold pathetic

and now it started...

same shot , there was no need of that shot

[jusarrived]

if Guptil switches to leftarm , cud get MoYo as well :D

[saeed-sohail]

On these shots alone these guys should be dropped for a long time.

[Afridi_Fan]

ahahahahahah We have praised these 2 ttoooooooo much yesterdayy and now i am going to sleep
Sweet dreams..

[Inswinger]

The fickleness of many PPers is on full display here. Shameful.

[Random Aussie]

Guptil the Destroyer strikes again!

[Daytripped]

I hope Moyo plays Guptill like the part timer that he is. But sensibly.

[On_the_up]

The collapse has begun

[Seen Sheen]

:moyo off the mark in this test match..

[Afridi_Fan]

LMAO..


so what happens if 3 wickets are down ?
Yaar bakwas band ker.

[IMMY69]

hopefully moyo will get some big runs here

[Oxy]

The fickleness of many PPers is on full display here. Shameful.


Which is why I praised neither Butt or Farhat yesterday!

Embarassing stuff

[don1990]

i hope no collapse here....

[Ayyub]

Ayyub sahib tussi sahi ho jab maine avator lagaya huwa tha to sub pooch rahe the ke Ayyub wala avator kyoh lagaya huwa hai ab maine apna lagaya to tussi wi apna change kar liya bare shararti ho tussi

iDone :ajmal i mean shararti tu ho mein but not wid boys but yeh wid girls ;-)

[germanboy]

i cant see his face right now i hope someone hit him for 5,6 6s in a over

[Omar Malik]

Within the first 30 mins we've lost both our openers to a part timer who hardly ever bowls with 2 lolly pop catches back to him!

[germanboy]

iDone :ajmal i mean shararti tu ho mein but not wid boys but yeh wid girls ;-)

i hope tum chote mote shararti ho

[Geordie Ahmed]

Why on earth do we make average bowlers look good?

[don1990]

The collapse has begun

hope not....

[Afridi_Fan]

They even don't know how to play part-time off spiner :afridi

[germanboy]

450 runs is the minimum total we have to reach

[bilal]

before this guptill had pikd up only 1 first class wicket, that says it all

[ali110]

Guptill is showing what these openers are, a truly selfish players, after get confirmed for their next flight/test match by making these 50's, they are out as usual. Now wait for Misbah to make 40+ not out and MOYO will be praising these bunch of players after the match or May be that's what ALLAH WANTS.

[sali]

Why the guys are so tentative this morning?

[tauseefm]

Vettori misfielded purposely so they can get Bhanja out

[germanboy]

Trail now exsactly 99 runs

[*sallu*]

This has all the making of a classic collapse

*fingers crossed*

[jusarrived]

I have said in the past as well , Faisal actually looks pretty compact

[cricketpassion]

Yaar bakwas band ker.

Thanks , someone needed to shut his mouth

[iZeeshan]

This is pathetic stuff
Absolutely stone cold pathetic
How is it pathetic. They put on a stand of 130!

Shut up.

[abdulqadir786]

there will be no collapse here and people here so negative!

[Afridi_Fan]

Trail by less than three figures.

[iafzal]

With these 2 quick wkts we do not have reduced any chance of winning the match from here. Now the objective should be to bat all daya today. If we do it we should be around 400 total. That gives a lead of about 150 runs not enough to save the match unless we bat till lunch tomorrow.

[germanboy]

but hope we get some kind of lead to give Kaneria and other bowlers something..

[daghetto]

we still got faisal iqbal to show us his talent now, after ****in up yesterday, then we got umar akmal, kamran akmal, and aamer.not sure bout misbah

[don1990]

vettori comes in....

[*sallu*]

How is it pathetic. They put on a stand of 130!

Shut up.

Yes
and that means they gift their wickets to a part timer

These types of mistakes are unacceptable

I am greatful for a good start but throwing your wickets away at such a crucial juncture?

I would bring Vettori in right now(if i am NZ kuptaan). Its the best time to bowl to Moyo

[germanboy]

Vettori to bowl

[Daytripped]

Dan the Man coming to bowl. Hope he doesn't do any damage.

[Seen Sheen]

Vettori on,probably for :moyo..

[Free Hit]

Guptill is showing what these openers are, a truly selfish players, after get confirmed for their next flight/test match by making these 50's, they are out as usual. Now wait for Misbah to make 40+ not out and MOYO will be praising these bunch of players after the match or May be that's what ALLAH WANTS.

oh brother calm down relax, its only cricket match, a sport, are you an indian?

Firstly, Guptill is bowling well.

Secondly, not ALL the time do batsmen get out to amazing deliveries. You have to see it from all teams' perspectives. The bowlers can get the batsmen to make mistakes, which is exactly what Guptill did. The openers did their job again, and it's up to MoYo, Misbah, Kamran, and Umar to make something of it.

spinners from both end

Good captaincy to start with Guptal, something different. Caught both guys sleeping and pocking. Not something we can imagin from our captain.
