*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Craig]

****.

Taylor 100 please.

 

[Howsie]

But surely he can't be worse than someone like McIntosh, considering you send Ryder up to open with McCullum and have Yuvraj bat at 5

Ryder's not going to open in test match cricket though.

 

[morgieb]

Failing that, I'd take Murali Vijay. Hell, if Australia don't want Rogers or Jaques, I'd take them.

Hope you realise that Jaques has been way below his best in recent years?

Rogers would be a good fit for you however.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

FFS.

Some may say it makes up for the first innings decision, but I'd rather both be called correctly.

He was no where near that one. Horrible umpiring.

 

[TT Boy]

Big wicket. Pak in firm control. Guptil doesn’t look to have a clue how to get dartman of the square.

It looked out and sounded good but the Pak players bursting into laughter probably gave it away.

 

[Howsie]

Ah, it wasn't even near the glove.

 

[Jono]

What happened in the first innings?

 

[Howsie]

What happened in the first innings?

Same thing, except he actually gloved it and he wasn't given out.

 

[TT Boy]

Hope you realise that Jaques has been way below his best in recent years?

Rogers would be a good fit for you however.

He has but I still back Jaques to average over 28 internationally, which is all he has to do to be better than Tim Mac.

 

[M0rphin3]

What happened in the first innings?

Wahab Riaz to McCullum, no run, massive appeal for caught-behind, a much-better directed short ball from Wahab, on legstump, McCullum goes for the pull, doesn't hit the bat but thuds into the gloves on its way to the keeper, umpire gives it not out, bring on the UDRS debate, that should have been out

 

[Zinzan]

Awesome luck for Pakistan that, a wicket like McCullum is worth 2-3 normal pieces of good-luck. They're not allowed anymore good luck/ good fortune in the series now

You don't think Jaques would be a better option then McIntosh?

McIntosh at least scores runs occasionally. Still would take Jaques though.

 

[Turbinator]

No. We have several good middle order options. It's the top order that's open. Is Gambhir available?

Haha sure, but only if you can recreate a Richard Hadlee for us

 

[Zinzan]

We've already tried Ryder up the order and it was a failure. He averages 50 batting at 5.

Has Ryder opened in a Test? If so, can't recall it

 

[_Ed_]

Has Ryder opened in a Test? If so, can't recall it

Don't think so. Think he's batted at 3 though.

 

[Zinzan]

No. We have several good middle order options. It's the top order that's open. Is Gambhir available?

Pfft, blow Gambhir, I'll have Sehwag to open with McCullum

 

[SilentOne]

Batted at 3.

 

[Craig]

Pfft, blow Gambhir, I'll have Sehwag to open with McCullum
