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

Taufeeq GONE! :(

63

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

Looks like that was the last ball of the day. Taufeeq seems like a class batsman.

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

Aamir Sohail may had worse temprament, but he has good eyes for the talent.

What :eek: :eek:

Another century by Vettori :frusty: :frusty:

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

I think it is a flat pitch and this match might well head towards a draw.

^^Unless there's a total collapse!

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

Azhar gone for 67! :(

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

And another YK 50 :)

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

Pakistan 255/3 :k: should look to bat all day today and possibly till lunch tomorrow

Younis Khan 56*
Misbah 56* 5th successive test half century for him

current partnership 111*

71

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

Younis Khan's straight drive to reach his 50 was as straight as it could be.

72

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

Good to see both managed to score their 50s :k:

73

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

280/3

Good progress indeed but Younis and Misbah are going too slow for my liking. That's not to say they should bat recklessly or take undue risks. The RR of 2.66 is slow

I can understand what they are trying to do, play attritional cricket + make slow but crucial progress in this match.....bat till lunch tomorrow/ bat NZ out of the game

The sedate approach was justified early on when Azhar was dismissed but now both batters are well set and they should be looking to dominate the NZ bowlers who have n't really looked very incisive or penetrative

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

Younis out on 73.... Pak 286/4

75

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

^ Younis did not look too happy with the decision

76

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

bad luck to YK......a class act....
kame*na kiwi umpire.....13th man

cricinfo:

Vettori to Younis Khan, OUT, well! right on the stroke of tea a wicket falls! it was a similar ball and it went down leg, struck on the pad after it passed the bat and popped up to Ryder at short leg. **That was a big mistake from the umpire. Both have struggled in this match and everytime this happens the UDRS question is bound to pop up **

Another poor decision

to put it mildly..

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

Both umpires are Australian. Whether they are neutral is debatable :D

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

australian by citizenship but kiwi by loyalty....:D
