My money is on your team to win the game so I think you are fine.Our best run chase is only 324 - (against Pakistan though)

I wouldn't worry too much as a New Zealand win is incredibly far off, and although Pakistan's dismal fielding has blighted their performance in the field again, it'd still take a miracle for New Zealand to get close to chasing 404 for victory.

Very sorry to see him go - I know I was expecting him to continue for another year at least. Understandable decision but it's pretty sudden too (from our perspective). Surprised he didn't want to stay on to play Australia in March.
He will be missed, there's no doubt about it.

And to give Peter Fulton a chance to save his test career...

IMO all part of a conspiracy to make sure he scores just enough runs to be selected to play in Napier, where Asif will again expose his footwork and trap him LBW in both innings.

Less love for the others though

If you call getting a start, doing well, then yes.

Got out to a good ball and showed some intent. Was his best innings of the series.
Get him to 5.

Please make a longer post with your rationale.
I guess for our terrible top 3 a score of 20 is good.

He looked good and didn't get himself out. Pakistan's bowling was fantastic and 400 is far far far too much.

No he did not. Another good looking 20 shouldnt be allowed to save him.
Hoping for at least one of Fulton or Elliott to save their place with a big hundred, because then we might actualy win. Might.
O'Brien's retiring?
He's our second best seamer! He's bowling so well, why retire? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?Been a great servant, though the stats wont show it. Much underrated and will be one of those forgotten heroes in future I suspect. Daniel Vettori has big wraps on him though.

Mohammad Asif just amazes me, yes he is accurate, but if you look at 90% of his wickets, they are from insanely huge off cutters, well deliveries that seam in right after pitching. What I have always noticed is that when he delivers it, the seam is ALWAYS wobbling around, and yet he gets so many of them to cut so sharply off the seam, there is very little swing but his in cutters are insanely productive and bag him most of his wickets.

Yeah, exactly the same as Stuart Clark in that regard tbh. Asif swings the new rock a bit more than Clark though.

Great piece of bowling got him, nothing wrong with that in the 4th innings. Mc and Guppy didn't get anywhere near as good a ball IMO.No he did not. Another good looking 20 shouldnt be allowed to save him.

Just goes to show he should have valued his wicket higher in all those other attempts.
I'm sick of the one season wonder scrong girtty 40s tbh. He'll improve and come back a better player, I only wish there was a suitable replacement to further justify getting rid of him.
Which is half the reason I want Fulton to score a century.
