1.5
Tanvir Ahmed to McIntosh, OUT, Pakistan have struck, McIntosh has flopped, a back of length ball on offstump, McIntosh prods at it, gets the outside edge, flies low to Younis at second slip, he pouches that one, and Pakistan are celebrating

**TG McIntosh c Younis Khan b Tanvir Ahmed 5 (6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 83.33  **

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

I didn't check earlier overs, was the ball swinging?

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

wtf is younis khan bowling

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

^ its okay, many batsmen bowl part time.

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

No UDRS :mad:

McCullum was out on 34… NZ were on 56/1

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

18.4
Wahab Riaz to McCullum, no run, massive appeal for caught-behind, a much-better directed short ball from Wahab, on legstump, McCullum goes for the pull, doesn't hit the bat but thuds into the gloves on its way to the keeper, umpire gives it not out, bring on the UDRS debate, that should have been out

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

6 overs on the trott from Younis, now thats not good :naraz:

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

whats the point of flying in Sohail Tanvir and not playing him today.....??

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

bench strength … :wink:

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

Pakistan have done the damage but need to go for the kill....do they have the bowling power?? Mccullum and Taylor sitting in the pavillion being dismissed without too much destruction..

Re: 1st Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 7-11

I think he would have been more purposeful than riaz…
