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

Hopefully the fact he's 12 off 5 is an indication of his intentions. I hope he is aggressive, within reason i.e. Not hitting it down deep mid wickets throat.
With a possible series win in mind he will have to be very aggressive. Hopefully he plays the percentages though.

Shades of Hayden in India from Tom Latham, in terms of his ability to sweep in these conditions.

Even if the BCs don't win this match, there are already tons of positives to be taken from it. We're already doing much better than Aussie did, and against Pakistan in these conditions that's really something imo.

Zulfiqar and Shah are so confusing. Zul looks like he shouldn't turn it at all yet rips it, Shah looks like he should rip it square but doesn't get any more than Sodhi.

Not sure we can claim that tbh, we were equally as terrible as them when we lost the toss in the first.

Like the way McCullum is approaching this - even if a win is fairly unlikely. Looks suspect as **** trying to defend this spin anyway.

True, but unlike Aussie we were going in cold. At least there's a third match in this series to let us know if our good performance so far in this Test was a fluke or not.

With the bat, we were even worse with the ball. Certainly out performed them on both fronts In game 2, at least thus far.

Babar and Shah are better bowlers than Sodhi. What of it?
It's more so every over they're producing threatening deliveries, so to say "Well Sodhi bowled one unplayable ball in 30 overs" doesn't compute.

And that was such a bull**** decision, he did not hit it, but they can't conclusively prove it, had the on field umpire said not out, it'd have stayed not out.
