Watch cricket highlights: New Zealand vs Pakistan Day 5 of the 1st Test at Dunedin played on November 28, 2009.

Scoreline: NZ 153 all out (2nd Inn). Pakistan in pursuit of 251 fall short at 218 all out. Umar Akmal 75, Yousuf 41, Kamran 27, Malik 32 | Shane Bond tries to complete his return to test cricket with 3 more only to realize he’d already completed his return in the 1st Inn, but completes it anyhow a second time around for good measure. O’Brien 3, Vettori/Martin 2 each.

The kind of gripping day of test cricket that makes you pine for more of them tests. Umar Akmal during his short ODI career had already earmarked himself as a test player in the way he just seemed to know how to construct an innings irrespective of whether it was an innings of patience or an attacking one. Today too, he saw out the morning session with a confident eye on playing out two more sessions. The cold facts are that a 251 chase on Day 5 is never a cakewalk. When you add a headless batting line-up to this, the fact that Pakistan even got close against a brilliant NZ bowling/fielding performance lends further weight to the emergence of Umar Akmal as one of the finds of the year in world cricket

A bearded Ian O’Brien apart from looking like St Peter in a made-for-television Christmas series put on his best bowling performance all year and Vettori and team despite all the injuries they’ve had this year continue to surge ahead against the cynics.

Umar Akmal Viewing pleasure: It all started in the 3rd ODI vs SL, followed by a hundred in the 4th ODI. The innings however that had in a way marked him out for this test came in the Champions Trophy game vs WI.

  14. Shehzad says:

    Why PCB droped Salman Butt and brought Imran Farhat? We have Yasir Hameed an excellent opener for test matches why he is out? Why Misbah-ul-Haq is not playing 1st match although he had selected on for younis khan? What did they see in Khurram Manzoor? somebody plz tell me what’s going on with them??

  16. Kiwi says:

    Thanks for positng these, fantastic clips.

  17. SHEIKH KHURRAM FAROOQ says:

    PAKISTAN TEAM IS ONE THE POOR CHASERS IN THE WORLD I THINK IF ANY TEAM OTHER THAN PAKISTAN CHASED THAT SCORE THEY WOULD MADE IT EASILY, POOR SHOTS BY PLAYERS

  18. leggie says:

    shehzad, im sorry to say but PCB are full of idiots and most of the worst pakistani crcketers are only playing beacuse thier father in law is in the PCB.

  19. leggie says:

    total collapse

  20. zee says:

    whatever said and done, credit to both teams. One of the best games ever.

    Admin – ur doing one heck of a job, going thru the match to checkout the important parts and putting them together here. It must be crazy and requires long patience, and I appreciate dedicated work. Its the best way to catch highlights of the cricket being played. For some reason, I feel you are not getting the credit u deserve. Hats off to you man !! Keep up the good work.

  21. Ali says:

    Well i am very much disappointed to see Pakistan lose from a situation they could have easily won. But I have great admiration for Umar Akmal. The sort of character he showed for some playing in his debut test match was really fascinating and I really hope that he do wonders for Pakistan in the future in sha Allah as well. As for the website, I think this is by far the best website for cricket enthusiasts like me. Keep it up bro!!.

  22. /A/R/M/A/N/ says:

    This was a Game and we lost it like we used to do and i hope, a day will come when pakistan will win it…lolz

  23. /A/R/M/A/N/ says:

    Congrats to Kiwis and appreciation for Bond for bowling with spirit and core of heart…Good played Akmal…U have good temperament but not enough good technique & foot work…Learn from M.Yousaf…By the way, a very nice cricket at all…Good luck pakistan for the next match…
    I will must say something about this website, this is awesome and brilliant coz it made possible for us to watch the match at night which we had missed due to buzzy in day….Bubye

  24. cricket fan says:

    Nice test match…..Bond is superb…..good cricket match

  25. suresh says:

    dropped 3 catches and laid the foundation of pakistan’s defeat,imran farhat should be sacked out of cricket…..how many times he has saved pakistan team? Salman butt is far better than that idiot sifarshiii…

    and shoaib malik just wants his captaincy back….

    these pakistani idiots cannot play bond.Pakistan can win this series only if he gets injured.

  26. Shinwari Mama says:

    Interesting match, but the result was quite disappointing. I think the top 3 batsmen should be blamed for the lost. They not only didn’t do well in batting but also dropped few important catches.

    Omar Akmal and Mohammad Amir were the stars of both innings and bowling.

  27. very poor paki can not cheas 251 in test cricket -

  28. bk says:

    Zabarsast game…paki boys need to learn some english

  29. Anwar says:

    I can’t remember seeing such a great test match (Despite Ashes of course) played for a long time. I just couldn’t get off my computer from watching day 4 and 5

    At the end of the day even though it is sad I’ll have to admit that New Zealand deserved to win. Pakistan fielded poorly, batted poorly, and bowling in the first innings was mediocre. Younis Khan may not be a great ODI player as of late but his presence in the test side used to make a massive difference whether he performed or not

  30. SVB says:

    Thanks for posting the highlights, good job mate

  31. Shehzad says:

    @ bk. first let them learn cricket than ask for english lol..

  32. dw says:

    Thanks for the website, mate. Great to be able to see this cricket from the USA. Good cricket, too, from two evenly-matched teams.

  33. Shinwari Mama says:

    Shane Bond is a great bowller.

  34. me04b016 says:

    Excellent website….thnx admin for covering all matches

  35. Paul says:

    Great game! Some good bowling from both teams. Taylor’s 90-odd, Vettori and McCullum’s partnership and Bond’s 5-for set it up for the Kiwis. Pakistan have some good players, but NZ will take the series, inshallah.

  36. king says:

    there are sme similer co-incidence around the word in test matches . in india sreesanth came back took 5 bond cme bck took 5 fer . on debut umar scored a centurey so has barath they r both 19 yers old .

  37. inzi says:

    top order is rubbish and the kiwis knew it. akmal brothers, amir, asif, moyo, great job. shane, o brien, great job. billy doc u suck. send farhat home on a frekin surf board. hope the sharks are hungry.

  38. heXik says:

    Yousuf is worse than YOunis LOL atleast Younis tried to speak english even though he studders xD …
    And Admin when you get the forum up and running, i would love to be an admin xD

  39. a_sporty says:

    Great job Admin for posting professionally edited highlights. We know that compressing a 5 day match into 4 hrs is not easy…..And guys get used to disappointing test and ODI performances from Pak. Pak only has a pulse remaining in T20.

  40. zoby says:

    shame on the openers.

  41. Chota Jamalis says:

    I think that some Paki players are not serious in playing cricket. Salman should come back as well as Misbah bcause we need some special fielder in slip and that is Misbah.. Yousuf is gud in captaincy than Younus. I Like the way he talk in urdu.. God bless Pak team… Bond deserve man of the match bt there must be some prize for Umar AKmal as he deserve….Fawad should remain in team and must open the inning with salman butt. There is no place for Khurram and Farhat… Also, Gul need rest and Raof should play in 2nd match…and i think kaneria is better option than ajmal as he is best test spinner in Pak team… God bless the team who deserve.

  42. leggie says:

    uuuummmm shane bond swore on national television before the watershed!!!!

  43. west indian says:

    i agree with areeb the top order is pore especially the two openers

  44. west indian says:

    bad top order Umar should bat at 3

  45. gayan says:

    alam is out bask misbah

  46. Wajih Haider says:

    WTF mannnn. How could Pakistan loose this match after being in such a commanding position :( really sad with the result. Well we Pakistanis are used to this now because it has happened so many times to PAK team. I think Salman Butt and Yasir hameed will make a good opening payer. And i want Younis and misbah back , Malik and farhat should be sacked…..

    And its the best Website for watching the highlights great work admin i really appreciate your efforts. Keep up the good work…….

  47. aamer hayat says:

    same as they did in srilanka n ll do in d coming series until we get rid of this son of bitch butt pcb chairman; its a very serious matter to thing about that people who dont know what is cricket what is the selection and even not played how he can decide abt cricket.time to change whole cricketing system if v want to stay at the top otherwise we ll lose everything as we losing in other fields.

  48. aamer hayat says:

    look at the presentation??? u know i have a lot of questions to be asked to pcb and to every one involved in shaping a team to play at intl level
    is it necessary to choose a captain just because he is most experiene player,
    is a captain need his coach to help him in answering media n presenter,
    shit n shame
    what they do in practice sessions
    please work on ur game n learn some english to face media n presenters

  49. Luke says:

    Great stuff as usual Admin. Great game, some fantastic performances (some forgettable ones too!) and in the end cricket won. Umar unlucky not to get man of the match but full credit to Shane Bond, what a way to come back!

  50. SantaV says:

    excellent test match. congrats NZ, well played Pak.

  51. Kunal says:

    Well! its better then watching India/SL series on flat dusty pitches made for Tendulkar and co. to improve their records of centuries.

    Kunal

  52. ajmal says:

    It was a very good game but Pakistan should change the first 3 players. Both Akmals mad a fake nose for Pakistani Crickers, otherwise Pakistani team would have not been able to hit 100. Any ways good luck in the future.

  53. it was a very very good game but pakistan
