NZ v/s Pak: 2nd Test

Dejected, depressed and under-pressure Pakistan taking on NZ in the 2nd test.

Very surprisingly they kept the same team. :smack:

Pak choses to bat which ofcourse seems to be the right choice. But you never know and shouldnt be suprised if they get out in 120 runs. :stuck_out_tongue:

57 for 2 after lunch.

Wat a stupid of getting out for asad shafiq. Already was doing good. All of sudden trying to hit on the moon.

Azhar Ali and his runouts :smack: Either him or his partner gets runout in a “test match” almost everytime. He was solid at 81.

Openers disappointed again. No surprise there. It was 25/2

Lets hope harris sohail gets a ton and more.

This is Hafeez’s batting performance for last 3 years:

IF firstclass cricket is the standard for selection, look at the names much ahead of Imam in average score list:

He was trying to reach the moon to become a star

Harris Sohail needs to slow down. I thought he was playing too many strokes.

From ARCHIVES:

After presentation of some figures above, here is a very interesting fact coming from NFP:

One may thing Pak only scored 201 runs in one day i.e. 90 overs so could be their slowest.

But in 1977 Pak-England series at Lahore test, Pak scored just 164 on day 1. :slight_smile:

Later in that test Mudassir Nazar made the record of world’s by completing the slowest test century on 419 balls.

Later the spectators got so bored that a riot broke in the stadium.


Restored attachments:

Yes, I remember Mudassar Nazar very well.

Heard his father Nazar Muhammad was as slow as him. Pakistani Gavaskar(s) :stuck_out_tongue:

Azhar Ali got lucky at 0 when Taylor let go the chance. The run-out was his own fair call but H.S didnt respond since he was at the danger end.

First day highlights:

HAris got his 100 and babar is playing a good knock. Lets hope they continue till pk rach 350 and than unleash.

HARIS chanigng gear and playing some beautiful shots. babar is waiting for his 100. hopefully he get it this time... and than go for big runs

His father was before my time didn?t know him.
Gavaskar has been unfairly tainted as too slow based on his 36 not out one day performance. Gavaskar when he started was a stroke playing batsman. He could hook the ball with impunity. But he erased that shot from his repertoire for the sake of the team. For he know that once he fell, the floodgates would open.

His straight drives were classic.

PK not looking in a hurry at all. they need to change to 4th gear now.

atlast PK declared at 418/5 . Score card though slow looks good to cross 400 and still having wickets...
Hope we get few wickets in remaining overs today.

I think Misbah too away all gears above 2.

Pakistan declared too early. Another poor tactical decision by coach and captain. Pakistan should have looked to bat only once and score 550+. The pitch looks good to bat, why not use it yourself and the tired NZ bowlers for the remaining five wickets?
