Re: Pak v NZ - 3rd Test - 11-15 Dec. 09 @ Napier
Why did Akmal not take single on 5th ball? 
Re: Pak v NZ - 3rd Test - 11-15 Dec. 09 @ Napier

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

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

dont think kiwis will get 43 overs to chase, i think it will be either 41 or 42.
Re: Pak v NZ - 3rd Test - 11-15 Dec. 09 @ Napier
Should be an easy ride for Kiwis unless something magical happens.
Re: Pak v NZ - 3rd Test - 11-15 Dec. 09 @ Napier
208 in 41 overs. It's gonna be close...
let's see if they play like ODI.
reminds me of the test match between england and Pakistan at karachi in 2001-2002
i think it would be 41 overs and hmmm welll time will tell but i reckon it wont be as easy as kiwis think it is to get that target
dont think kiwis will get 43 overs to chase, i think it will be either 41 or 42.
According to Cricinfo they will get 41 overs.
i hope imran and buttt do catch wotever comes their way lollllllll
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!

first of all I have just made 5000 - :D
well - I think both of you are right - If they play like ODI - then they will make it...and that will gaurantee Pakistan to be in the hunt for wickets as well - anyones game
or they try to be safe, which mean a draw!!

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