I really wish they wouldn't add that stupid smash sound effect for fours that are edged down to third man.

Tim Southee getting a bit of inspiration from early 00's David Tua with that hairstyle.

Would have been more interesting had NZ won the toss, methinks. What are the odds on Pakistan win now? Anything more than $1.30 and it's probably very good value.

Just saw an advertisement for a homeopathic nasal spray. "Prescription not required."

Yeah, should've extended the "horses-for-courses" policy to the coaching staff and replaced Shane Bond with Chris Pringle for the tour.

swing is gone now.

Gotta hope for some reverse later on but the outfield is pretty lush.

Gonna be some hard work.

Got to bowl some maidens at the openers - I figure three or four in a row and they'll do something silly.

How to get Azhar, Younis, and Misbah on this wicket is another story of course...
