Watch Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st Test 2009: Live Score Highlights Online here. Pakistan is touring New Zealand to play a 3 test match series with the kiwis. The series will commence from November 24, 2009 and will go on until December 15, 2009. However, Pakistan will also play a 3-days practice match with the New Zealand Invitation XI.

One can hardly doubt about the excitement that the test series holds for us. Pakistan team and excitement are inseparable and so are the kiwis which is the most resilient teams among all. The series will also be a competitive one despite the fact that Pakistan cricket team is not up to great form.

The have lost the ODI series to the New Zealand with a 1-2 and Pakistan failed to take revenge against the defeat they had during the Champions Trophy and meekly surrendered to the kiwis.

So it will not be all that easy for Pakistan to start their campaign for test series. Looks like New Zealand is enjoying form and the dressing room milieu is excited with or without Vettori who’s been doing great job so far for the kiwis.

They’ve been consistently consistent and that speaks of their resilience and to reiterate that they will start as favorites, they are playing at their home turf. They understand the seam and the bounce and they can play calculated shots. Furthermore, Vettori has been declared fit to play and this increases the might of New Zealand team. It also implies Pakistan will have to work really hard to prove their mettle in kiwi soil.

To add to the woes Pakistan is touring in the absence of their fond captain Younis Khan. In his absence Mohammad Yousuf is given the reigns and he will lead the team for this series. He is no doubt having a wealth of experience but captaincy is not everyone’s forte, so said Yousuf will be earnestly looking forward to give his experience and cricketing wisdom to his team.
