Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

Chalo ji, wunder kid (Umar) is gone, bunder kid (Kamran) should be on now.

EDIT: I forgot that we have other bunder too i.e. Shoaib Malik

Umark Akmal gone...

Now, hoshyar, khabardaar, Nawab khan bahadur Shoaib Malik Sahib tashreef laa rahe hain... finally!

horrible dismissal. Malik gone

I don't see Pakistan crossing 200 mark . Horrible horrible batting...

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

why how he got dismissed???

flashed his bat wide outside off stump - mistimed - straight to the fielder at mid-off. One shouldn't play this kind of shot in test cricket.

tried to hit out of the park and only managed to gift a halwa catch to vettori at mid off. Malik must be thinking he was playing in his backyard

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

malik dont even have the class to be a batsman

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

Malik is more of Politician than a batsman or cricketer, excluding him from the team may unit the remaining team members...

Imran Farhat playing and scoring 30 odd runs means bad time on Pakistan cricket has not passed yet...

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

well its not the pitch..........our batsman played some pathetic shots........look at malik dat jerk gave catching practice to vettori.....n misbah playd over the line n got LBW
v gona lose this match too

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

I can't believe that we opened with two galli kay tulleybaaz who both are way below any international standard.

Re: Pakistan v New Zealand 2nd Test, Wellington - Dec. 03-07, 2009

With farhat and Salman in the field NZ should expect at least five or six dropped catches between them.

Same woefully irresponsible batting

Osman Samiuddin:

"the inherent timidity in their senior players - and the ineptitude of some - surfaced again, as they lost the opportunity of a rare opening platform. A familiar story of uncertain prods outside off, awkward encounters with short balls, airy swishes and brain-dead shots unfolded thereafter, 60 for none dwindling to an inadequate first day total.

As the bowlers continued to probe,
fear was replaced by stupidity, as two men supposedly more experienced holed out to shots that should condemn at least one of them.
Faisal Iqbal will wonder which God he ever upset if Pakistan continues to think Shoaib Malik worthy of more Test opportunities than him; Malik’s slap to mid-off should, ideally, put an end to that farce.

Just before bad light intervened, there was enough time for Misbah to prove again that all the world’s MBAs and domestic experience cannot iron out his tendency to getting out at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way. Vettori would have been smiling anyway at the way the day turned, but Misbah’s ugly sweep would have left him laughing."

Vettori and Tuffey rattle Pakistan | New Zealand v Pakistan, 2nd Test, Wellington, 1st day Report | Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

And if the current horrible (batting) trend continues expect more 2.5-3 day test finishes in Australia

Mind you when we had the likes of Inzi and Saeed Anwar in the team, most of our tests still finished inside 4 days!
