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

Keep bowling Hafeez please

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Please CJ, if you're going to take a heave, attack Hafeez.

 

[straw man]

At least Anderson scores runs in between the balls he struggles to defend.

 

[Frost]

Anderson has looked rubbish though.

He looked rubbish in Bangladesh also.

 

[Bahnz]

No Corey, calm down. You're going to hit Hafeez out of the attack.

 

[Flem274*]

not watching atm but i don't care how anderson looks. the jammiest hundred ever would be much appreciated.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Anderson not the greatest against spin though, is he?

Regardless it's going to take a truly humongous partnership from here, like something over 250. Difficult to see that happening.

He's our 2nd best against spin simply because he actually tries to attack them and doesn't just sit back and prod from the crease ball after ball. Pretty rubbish in defense though.

 

[Flem274*]

btw we will get revenge when they come down here to die on our non-spin pitches which have bounce and movement

taylor, watling, latham are all better. baz once he has a start might be. not sure on neesh.

you're right though, at least he messes with them and doesn't just let them bowl.

 

[Flametree]

No snicko for the reviews? If not, that's a very bad review. I think he might have got a tiny bottom edge, ball seemed to change angle ever so slightly, but can't give it without some sound.

 

[Frost]

I think Pakistan just appeal for everything

As much of a gun Taylor is he is truly awful against spin early on. His little shuffle-to-off-hang-the-bat-out makes me wince every time.

but yeah probably a bit of an overstatement, if that's possible with our standards.

 

[Flametree]

Excellent from Latham. One opening spot tied up for years...

 

[Flem274*]

so our seamers have been smoked around and an opening batsman is holding the innings together.

who are these people and what have they done with nz?

well played tom. i'll gladly suffer hendrix if it means you score lots of runs.

now quadruple it

 

[vandem]

Excellent from Latham. One opening spot tied up for years...

Bg ups to the selectors for how they introduced him to test cricket, spent 2 seasons on the fringe of the team, playing a few T20s, ODIs and being in tour squads. Kind of like what they are doing with Henry ...

 

[ohnoitsyou]

This is the job Maxwell was supposed to do. Clearly Anderson > Maxwell.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Oh yeah, set Corey against the pacer.

 

[Bahnz]

If Rahat can get any reverse then he'll be in business aiming for that big gap between Corey's bat and his front pad.

 

[Flem274*]

i think they should try and bounce corey out
