Pakistan team was struggling against the New Zealand Cricket Eleven in a tour match at
http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-pakistan-2010/content/ground/441704.html. Pakistan was still trailing by 150 runs with only 2 wickets remaining at the close of play on day 2. Both the teams would be using this practice match as a confidence booster before the 1st Test of the series. That is the reason why
both the teams have grounded a strong playing eleven in the tour match.
At the http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-pakistan-2010/content/ground/441704.html, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129 grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
He struck a magnificent double hundred as he struck some extra-ordinary shots on all parts of the ground. Because of McCullum’s brilliant knock, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 Cricket Eleven posted 384 runs on the board.
Brendon McCullum remained the top-scorer for the Kiwis as he was dismissed by Umar Gul on 206 runs which came off 218 balls with the help of 20 stunning fours and 5 towering sixes. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-McIntosh-c2658 also scored a half-century as he scored 51 runs off 109 balls
in which he struck 5 boundaries. Both of them gave the Kiwis an opening stand of 162 runs.
Pakistani bowling was led by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-c41691 claimed 1 wicket apiece.
In reply, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 was in trouble from the word go as they were 4 wickets down for only 39 runs on the board. However, because of a responsible knock by the captain Misbah ul Haq, Pakistan was able to reach a respectable score of 234 runs for the loss of
8 wickets. Misbah remained the top-scorer for Pakistan with a brilliant 99 not out. He used up 197 balls for his knock and struck 10 brilliant fours 3 sixes to help his team’s cause. Wicket-keeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adnan-Akmal-c42042 showed his abilities with the bat as he supported
his captain ably and scored 35 useful runs for Pakistan.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trent-Boult-c2708 picked up a wicket each to support the main strikers.
Pakistani management and Coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193 would be hoping that Misbah can accumulate some more runs with the tail as Sohail Tanvir is on the crease with him who has the potential to score some quick runs. However the first target for Misbah would be to
complete his hundred which should him give him some confidence for the Test series. On the other hand, Kiwis would be looking to wrap up the Pakistani innings as soon as possible tomorrow and give their batsmen another chance to get used to the Pakistani bowling.
