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

[BackFootPunch]

That's easily the strangest session of cricket I've ever seen. But well bowled Mark Craig, impressive haul despite the circumstances.

 

[Howsie]

Damn, never thought I'd see that. 7-94 is a bloody good effort. Game on.

 

[hendrix]

weird.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

If he can do that what will the Pakistan spinners do?

for PEWS:

Brian Murgatroyd pronounces Latham with a voiced dental fricative and Southee with a voiceless dental fricative.

the wrong way around.

 

[Hurricane]

10-94.

 

[Maximas]

Hafeez nearly scores a double ton and Craig picks up 7, christ

 

[Howe_zat]

I wonder what's the most one batsman has scored (in terms of percentage of the whole innings) where the team got a good score. Usually those sorts of records are for a 70 in 120 all out, not 197 out of 350.

 

[Gnske]

Very depressing viewing that session, although New Zealand in with a good chance here.

 

[Zinzan]

WTF, back from a quick dinner & the guy I've been berating all day gets 7/94? What happened?

 

[hendrix]

Gee Latham can time the pants off the ball.

 

[Bahnz]

Is it just me or is Tom Latham a dead ringer for Dave Franco?

Sehwag's double against Sri Lanka when everyone else was getting destroyed by Mendis?

Didn't Sehwag got a 200 out of 350ish against SRL one time a few years ago?

Runs in the family. His father wasn't half the player technically, but boy could he time the ball.

Do you consider 245 a good score? My ancestor still holds the record for this from the first ever Test match if so. The oldest record.

It's mental. To think how much Vettori has had to sweat for his test wickets over the years and then this guy gets them gifted left right and center.

There was a stretch around 2005-06 when 190 out of 350-360 was par for the course for Lara.

Yeah good call. 201* while India were bowled out for 329 on the first day.
