anyways, the match has drawn (at least Pakistan cant win the match from here)…congratulations to Misbah and his team!!!

If Asad was given the license to hit rather than save the wicket things would have worked out for Pakistan.
Dhoni, Ponting, Straus, Smith, Vetori…all are better leaders by far. Even Afridi plays for the win..

@Ali_Syed

they could have done it easily if they played the overs like a one dayer, and they needed that practice considering that the world cup is around the corner…

we do have 6 one-dayers after this to practise for the world cup and therefore there’s no need to rush

Re: 2nd Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 15-19

Pakistan played 10 series from Jan-2007 and lost 6 and draw 4 So its a big achievement for them to win the series on opposition soil :hbk: Hats off for Misbah and youngsters

leave one dayers aside, the batting isnt even suitable for test matches…22 runs have been made in the last 10 overs, considering there were 6 wickets left…the team should have tried to win the match…

Big joke of the century. He never play for win. He just play for his strike rate.
Have u ever seen Asad Shafiq big hitting in T20 or ODIs

Re: 2nd Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 15-19

Interesting stuff going on the ground, two appeals by the kiwi players has been turned down by umpires!!! ( both times ball was going down the leg side, but it ain’t relevant)

85.1
Vettori to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, this is a massive appeal, it again slid on from middle and leg, possibly going down but he hit it in any case

&

87.1
Vettori to Adnan Akmal, 1 leg bye, another big appeal for lbw, this was sliding down leg though, it ballooned away into the off side and they steal a leg-bye

I always says Asad Shafiq is nice Test Batsman but don’t waste him in T20 or ODIs … I"m not comparing Asad with Afridi as i know Afridi never play cricket seriously.

Re: 2nd Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 15-19

Guys lets be positive. we drew the last test series in NZ 1-1 in 2009. so this 1-0 win is surely a step in the right direction

Re: 2nd Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 15-19

Re: 2nd Test Pak vs NZ - Jan 15-19

@Ali_Syed

since the last hour only began at 5.15pm, they must bowl until 6.15pm so we keep going
