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

[Zinzan]

Always call Heads.

Tongue verses cheek.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Pakistan out for 250 I reckon.

Sorry that was a typo, I forgot to put the 1 in front.

 

[Zinzan]

lol pitch wearing in the first over.

 

[Maximas]

Was really hoping the kiwis would win the toss, was the best chance for a decent match

 

[Zinzan]

You'd think they'd plant 1 or 2 blades of grass just to make the first hour just a little challenging for the team who wins the toss and bats.

Maybe the glare from the pitch will shine in the batsman's faces.

Last time they tried to give the seamers something in the UAE (SL tour earlier this year) the pitches ran out of juice after a day and a half and turned into complete roads.

Better just to skip that stage and go straight to the road obvs

Great achievement by Vettori to break Fleming's NZ record with his 112th test cap. Respect.

 

[Zinzan]

Hard to see how NZ are going to get a wicket today.

Great timing.

Well played.

 

[BeeGee]

Hard to see how NZ are going to get two wickets today.

I know this has probably been said multiple times - almost certainly by HDS - but Danny Morrison is the worst commentator ever. He makes me want to eat my own ears.

I like Danny Morrison because it makes my girlfriend interested in cricket for a few seconds. She's always like "that guys an idiot" or "why did he say it that way?"

I'm guessing that is Danny's target audience.

 

[Blocky]

Danny is great for the Indian market, they love him. Give him credit, highest paid (and most used) cricket commentator from NZ.

 

[Dick Rockett]

'Great for the Indian market' has never been an argument that's worked for me.

 

[Howe_zat]

That's Craig's one job done for the match then

Yeah I sat down my Chinese friends and forced them to watch a bit of T20 once, one of them said Morrison must have "developed in his mum's rectum".
