**Official** Pakistan in New Zealand (3 tests)

[James]

Agree with what Bryan Waddle is saying on Radio Sport, we're really a bowler short and missing someone like Oram who can tie up an end.

 

[99*]

WHAT A BEAUTY! Brendon with a great catch.

 

[AaronK]

pakistan needs a positive start.. this is totally against that.

I will be so dissapointed if Farhat scores.. which means he will be in the next match and another 3 to 4 drop catches..

 

[brackenNY]

Openers gone.

NZ in complete control.

 

[Zinzan]

I swear that catch McCullum was near impossible

Edit: Martin strikes another top catch too, this difference of fielding between these two sides is a joke tbf

 

[brackenNY]

Horror game by Farhat. Hopefully this is the end of him.

 

[99*]

Bond, taken a wicket in 32 straight innings. Wag.

 

[AaronK]

McIntosh is like look farhat that is how u catch at second slip lol

wonderful stuff by New Zealand..

I hope farhat is gone for good..

 

[TT Boy]

Won't get any better for Pak, Farhat will just be replaced by Butt, who also can't catch a cold. Manzoor will have to go as well, looks a million dollars against Mendis, million lira (Turkish) against any form of pace.

 

[Zinzan]

Interesting to hear Bond has the world record by taking at least one wicket in an innings for 32 consecutive bowling innings now

They can bring in Misbah in for a substitute slip... he's solid in the slips.

 

[AaronK]

I would drop farhat and give Manzoor another chance

Push fawad alam to open with manzoor while drop farhat for Misbah and Malik for Faisal Iqbal..

 

[Nate]

Top field placing, top man.

 

[TT Boy]

Just three more wickets for the dream comeback for Bond. Been so good and imagine him on a wicket which really had some pace, his too lively for Pakistan as it is.

Feel for young Alam, hope Pak stay with him and don't drop him for Misbah.

 

[NZ Guy]

lol didn't even see that wicket because Smithy was telling us to watch McCullum, anyone else do that? Didn't Fulton look unco-ordinated taking that catch though, looked like a five year old

Have to say I'm surprised it's so few, or is that a record from the start of a career?

 

[Hurricane]

Next hour or so is going to be some classic test cricket. Thanks Dunedin for being sunny. it is raining here in Wellington.

If O Brien can't take wickets then he has to bowl tight.

 

[Hurricane]

At least he ground out an innings. He's struggled in this match but he may hit back with a century in the next match. Really disliking the negativity in this thread towards our batsmen. Yes, I know we've collapsed, but come on, you have to be supportive at least some of the time.

In terms of positive things to say about Mcintosh. The kid can catch at slip. He is damn impressive.

Meh, barely contributing TBH.

I'm assuming it's the overall record, because they said the previous holder was Andy Roberts & he certainly bowled more than 31 innings in his career
