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

[NZTailender]

Don't think anyone will be surprised if this becomes our biggest partnership of the innings.

 

[Kippax]

Don't see how a top scorer can be dropped

Well he'll play, but I doubt Southee will bat at 10.

Vince Lombardi's coaching books say that you should always look to promote someone like Southee slightly above his station. Hesson will continue with that.

 

[Kippax]

I'm just happy it wasn't Craig. When you have $10 at 80:1 on someone to top score in the first innings and then get run out, then top score second innings, you're gonna have a bad time.

Thanks for not vicariously enjoying the $250 that would've gone to me.

We can all agree, I hope, that Asif can GAGF. Amir is different imo. Its seems easy to influence young and stupid if the culture they are caught in is corrupt. For mine he's paid his penalty. I don't know if that penalty was long enough and if he doesn't learn then I'd concede he'd have to go and the penalty for 1st time offenders increased.

Lovely bowler though.

Perhaps not the best reasoning there.

 

[harsh.ag]

I would like to give Amir a shot. He was just soo good. We need that. Don't think he will make the same mistake again, but then again, I wouldn't know.

Amur is definitely not 22 ftr, and I'll pull the 'connections' gambit on that one

 

[CM Punk]

Superb batting by Ish, showing up many of our batsmen.

 

[Howe_zat]

If they can bat for one hour they can bat for five, right?

Yeah, I forgot about Pakistani birth certificates tbh. Would be great if he came back and was worse than Ashok Dinda though.

Maybe if they get another 10-15 lives

i completely forgot this had started and now i see ish has 50

ish for opener

He pretty confirmed he was a year older than listed in one his interviews he made a slip up saying he was 21 yada yada when he was listed as 20.

 

[Howe_zat]

After serving at her majesty's pleasure I'm pretty sure he's qualified for England btw

 

[Blocky]

Sodhi, Boult and Craig showing how easily you can bat on this wicket. Just too little, too late.

And Ish probably has more upside in his batting than bowling.

Actually looks pretty decent in defense, he fills me with more confidence than Rosco

Should have really drawn this.

 

[CM Punk]

The Pakistani bowlers weren't at their best in the second innings, we just gifted them wicket after wicket.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

We're making a thing of massive last wicket stands. Which is good and also kind of bad

Not sure how there is any bad in it?? It's a great attribute to have as a side.

Nothing left here to achieve but to frustrate the Pakistani side and I would imagine this is starting to grate.

You guys need to get avatars. How else can I tell you apart? Bambino was first with the no avatar avatar, so he gets to keep it.

Yeah I was gonna do something about that. Maybe tomorrow.
