Pakistani Tour of New Zealand, Dec-Feb 2010/11

[CG123]

Arne's defensive isn't that bad TBH.

This could very well be Martin's last test, as we don't play another for ages, so hopefully he picks up his 200th.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Harper is crap. Has always been and will alway be crap.

 

[riz7khan12]

you think they would've fired him after... idk about his 50th test maybe.

 

[Aoun13]

Harper is easily the worse umpire I have seen on international level. ICC are very sharp to fine players but why not they take actions on such umpiring.

 

[ferg512]

I'm getting the feeling that Martin will retire after this test for some reason.

----------

I think he will want to go out with dignity, rather than be dropped. If thats the case hopefully the rain clears and he can pick up his last 3 wickets.

 

[Adarsh]

Tanveer bowled these 3 huge noballs in one over, and two of them were not spotted by Harper. These were MASSIVE no balls !

 

[Paki007]

4th day i think it will be the decider day if nzl survive then match will be draw easily because Pakistan not gonna go to chase the total as they do most of the times


And looking at the pitch it will be easily a draw unless Nzl batsmen dont play foolishly

yeah... even the non-striker is seeing them clearly... the umpiring has been pretty awful for this series

 

[Paki007]

I dont know why they dont use UDRS on regular basis

 

[CG123]

You feel that if the rain stays away, this will go down to the wire.

If we can continue this good start, I'd maybe be looking to push Ryder up to three, and try and get him into some form playing his natural game. Williamson just doesn't seem like the player to be coming in in this situation and take the game to Pakistan.

Yeah couldn't agree more, I'd probably put Williamson down at 5 or 6. He won't really score runs at that rate we need to set a total. We seriously need to find a way of scoring of Rehman, can't afford to let him continue at 2 per over.

I don't want to start anything, but there have been a huge amount of no-balls here and some really large, hope its not related to anything...

Another one, 8 now, compared to only 2 in the whole first innings.

Plus the umpires have missed a few, and they've been a few massive ones.

 

[ferg512]

It's certainly not a good look with everything thats gone before. This has been a good start, Guptill hasn't been scoring that quick but good to see McCullum getting on with things, we really need him to make a hundred here.

 

[Paki007]

Good thinking by the Nzl i think they will declare the innings later this day after getting some quick runs and then challenge Pak batting but i feel like the pitch is behaving Pak will not face many troubles to draw this match
