he failed a fitness test..his hamstring rpoblem...he has to cut down his run up....

moveover pak need 363 to aviod follow on and if they do this is headed for a draw i feel...so i think pak can get there...

 

[imported_fastbreaker]

Moin Khan is battling it out for Pakistan now. Pakistan are avoiding follow-, so this match will probarbly be a draw

really great by Moin, he saved pak from the follow-on and payed back for all the critics going on for years.....great going pak is in a save position, likely for a draw....

 

[Nirav85]

i have to give credit to Sami...he came in when pak need 95 morw runs to aviod then all he did was defence and the great work from Moin to hit a century. This is fantastic, that means moin will most likely be chosen for ind tour because latif cant bat and is starting to suck in keeping. also latif cant keep his mouth shut at times...the match fixing thing i find fine but when he didnt get chosen for the nz pak odi series in pak he outbursted agianst them. He says it was because of his personal issues during that sa test series which he missed...well latif maybe u should have been there for that test series because that opened the door to moin and he took the optuinrty and grabbed it....Good work Moin...

 

[601731]

superb knock by moin(what a fighter) has scored 137 to save his team from follow on.

MY 250TH POST YIPPIEEEE!!!!!

 

[imported_fastbreaker]

Really a good innings by Pakistan. Especially Moin, who avoided follow on : : for Pakistan

 

[imported_fastbreaker]

Sami takes revenge by taking 2 wickets, leaving NZL at 13 for 2. His bowling is very economical, and this coming right after his really terrible spell at the first innings, where he was wicketless, and not a threat.

 

[imported_fastbreaker]

New Zealand are in big big trouble. They are 42/5, with Sami taking 3 and Umar taking 2 wickets off 2 successive balls. Maybe this wont be a draw.... You never kow.
