Pak v NZ - 3rd Test - 11-15 Dec. 09 @ Napier

New Zealand commentators are a disgrace – i was especially disgusted by their comment that if they get the final wicket in that over ( a few balls before they eventually did), they just have to chase 200 odd runs and then it will be like a one day match.

It’s not because I am a Pakistan team fan, but because I am cricket (and Test Cricket) fan that I am especially disgusted by that comment. These commentators have gone overboard in their zeal for supporting New Zealand and have forgotten that chasing 200+ in 40 overs at 5+ runs per over, on a 5th day pitch, in a TEST match where there are no fielding restrictions, no easy wides, no problems with negative bowling, no bowler quotas, it is NOT the same as a one day game.

New Zealand may win this if they are lucky, but it’s not becuase it’s just like a one day game. There is more to Test cricket. Unlike an ODI game, Pakistan actually has the option of going negative (if need be) and avoid a defeat. You can’t have a draw in an ODI game, but a Test match has three results.

Commentators ought to be better than pedestrians on the street!

i know so true, i dont understand why they have to be so shallow and say stuff like … oh kick it over the rope lollllll totally disgusting stuff
