**Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

[Flem274*]

oh damn

he was finished

 

[BeeGee]

That's **** from Watling.

He's closing his gloves on the ball too early. I noticed that earlier when the quicks were bowling.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Unfortunate but Watling had to make a mistake eventually. He's been so absurdly good for us.

 

[morgieb]

I'm beginning to grow a soft spot for Danny. Should probably get it checked out by a doctor.

Post reported. Give him 7!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I don't think that was completely deliberate, particularly given he has that ball that just drifts in and doesn't turn at all which can be easily mistaken for a googly.

Yeah there is that, but he also definitely overdid the genuine googly. You could see it from the release.

 

[Flem274*]

im with rohit sharma on these two getting a 50 stand against us. "wait until you come to nz"

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah there is that, but he also definitely overdid the genuine googly. You could see it from the release.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't have much control over his release and did it accidentally sometimes though.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't have much control over his release and did it accidentally sometimes though.

Absolutely. It's common knowledge that bowling too many googlies can ruin your legbreak, so I'm guessing the improved consistency with his legbreak is largely a result of relying on it less.

 

[straw man]

Oh Watling :/

Been reasonably impressed with our spinners so far. Still not sure where a wicket is going to come from though, until we hopefully get some reverse later.

Happy with our XI though.

 

[Flem274*]

if that hasn't carried then ill be sad

 

[hendrix]

out for me. beautifully bowled.

[Flem274*]

oh ffs

you can't get out on this pitch*

*unless you're a kiwi batsman in two days being owned by a very good pair of spinners

 

[Athlai]

Didn't carry

 

[Flem274*]

ross should have behaved like your average michael clarke and claimed it

failing that, bottle caps

 

[straw man]

For that to not carry with the new ball is pretty rough.

Anderson nowhere near accurate enough so far.

 

[hendrix]

rubbish from Corey.

 

[dermo]

nz spinners aren't bowling to badly but their chances rest on the amount of reverse tang southee and boult can get

 

[Kippax]

Reverse started in the 31st over in the warm-up, but it was pretty tame. Chalk and cheese to the Duke reverse of the Windies.

 

[Teja.]

Just woke up, hoping I didn't miss much.
