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

So what's the plan... Keep batting or declare

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I'd say they're gonna go until 1 more wicket down and see what Sodhi and craig can do so Boult doesn't have to put the pads on and can do his bowling warm ups instead

 

[hendrix]

Keep batting. Get the lead to 350 if possible.

I've spend most of the last 3 days in various degrees of inebriated. As such, the cricket that I've watched has kind of passed me by. I recall a good number of sixes being hit. (Or "Maximums" as Danny Morrison calls them despite the fact that I have seen in my memory at least two 7s hit in Test cricket). Anyhoo, what's the most sixes hit in one innings of Test cricket? This must be challenging that total in some way.

This innings holds the record.

Yeah 19 so far, 17 was the previous best.

Yup, aim to bat for 5-6 overs for mine and hope to slog another 30-40 runs. A lead of 330 feels about right.

that score...wow. im not sure sad is the word to describe the feeling of not seeing a ball of this game yet considering all the stuff in and around it, but i gather it has been quite something in it's own weird? awkward? way.

Wow, there is some absolute tripe being posted on another cricket forum beginning with the letter 'P' around McCullum's statement on behalf of the BC's. SMH 500 times.

Just the usual tripe tbh. That place is always toilet.

 

[Zinzan]

The other factor to consider is we seem to lose 5 overs or so day due to the light. Hoping our over rates will be better than Pakistan's 12-13 an hour.

That forum is pits.

 

[Zinzan]

pffft, Craig needed to get out at 50 for the symmetry of our scorecard

 

[cnerd123]

What forum?

20th six of the innings, Craig looks a decent batsman.

Sodhi needs to get with the programme; only batsman to not hit a boundary yet and has faced 17 balls. Vettori already had 3 by now.

trent boult 202 would be needed too

id back him

 

[hendrix]

Gee Sodhi looks a very decent batsman. Solid defense and he can drive beautifully

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

That Sodhi shot was ***y.

 

[NZTailender]

Whats the most amount of 50+ scores we've made in an innings?

I think I heard the commentators say that this is the most.

 

[Zinzan]

C'mon pitch, you're effectively 5 days old now...start showing it !!
