I am hearing that this will be Misbah's last test series.

I am hearing that this will be Misbah's last test series.

Nope. Probably his last test series before the world cup. I hope that Pakistan doesn't lose their moral and take the kiwis lightly. I can promise that New Zealand's bowling is gonna be much better then Australia on these tracks.

Still Won't Matter!

the first day proves you right hahahaha

Pakistan bossing it again, very consistent batting on display from them.

Did anyone see this? Shehzad's dismissal.

 

[cricket_icon]

damn that musta hurt!!! hurts me just watching it lol

but yet again, a fine day of cricket for pakistan and they seemed to up the tempo at the end.

It will be interesting to see the Kiwi batsmen's tactics against the spin attack of Pakistan. Will they look to attack or defend? I think best way to unsettle a spinner is using of feet and sweeping the ball. Nothing irks a spinner more than a well played sweep shot. If they look to defend only, they will be in trouble. Yasir Shah will prove to be challenge for them but Zulfiqar Babar is just as dangerous.
It will be an intriguing day of test cricket today. I would love to see Mcculum and Ross Taylor lock horns with our spinners.

Just read that Hafeez's been suspected for illegal action.
If he gets banned too from bowling then , this will come as a great blow to Pak before the WC.

 

[sami ullah khan]

If he can't bowl, I don't think he is a good enough batsman to warrant selection in any sort of team for Pakistan. Any ways in Australia, we will need a fast bowling all rounder rather than an off spinner to suite those type of pitches.

This thread was only created 2 weeks ago whereas the BAN/ZIM thread was created in September...

Could NZ giv Pak a better fight than Aus ? 400+ score in the first innings is impressive, given the highest score Aus managed was 303.

And spinners getting 2 early wickets .. tomorrow will be an interesting day. Younis Khan and Misbah will be key for Pak.

Pakistan v New Zealand 2014-15 : Daniel Vettori set for shock Test return | Cricket News | Pakistan v New Zealand | ESPN Cricinfo


Sounds like a bit of a hasty move for me. Why couldn't they bring in Jeetan Patel who's had more 4-day cricket under his belt? I'd hate to see Vettori get injured again just before the World Cup.

 

[Chewie]

Because Jeetan is in NZ
