***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2015

Did you hear someone laugh in the commentary box when Sinclair said he'd prefer to commentate?

Ever get the feeling Milne is holding back, on request? Like they don't want to give away his armoury before the serious matches? Like he'll come out swinging it round corners and send wickets cartwheeling and such?

I ****ing hope so because at the moment he's the Nathan McCullum of 150k quick bowling.

I don't at all tbh.

 

[NZTailender]

Got me looking at the same period for bowling.

Anderson, wow.

Grunter!

 

[NZTailender]

I don't at all tbh.

I'm amazed he can send a scrambled seam ball down at 148kms like seriously wtf

 

[Athlai]

Grunter!

The opposition loves jam so much.

 

[Athlai]

Great slower ball.

Boult definitely a quality option at the end of an innings.

When is Milne going to learn to bowl a damn yorker. He should bowl 1 an over. Full straight an hitting the wickets. Every quick bowlers staple. I've only seen him attempt half a dozen in all of his ODIS

He bowled a couple in his last over.

You know what armory they are holding back for the WC?

Looking forward to Boult's second spell. Keen to see Howsie telling everyone to taste it if he takes a few wickets.

Wow..for someone who grew up on NZ defeats at the hands of Pakistan (or, more accurately, Wasim/Waqar), pretty surreal all this.

Predicting that these two sides will meet in the Wellington quarterfinal so seeing this as an important build-up.

 

[Zinzan]

Ah, nice speech ANZ, Ah, Full credit, ah......

 

[hendrix]

He just deflects compliments as easy as his backfoot drive.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Got money on Misbah to get the highest score for Pakistan.

Karn!

Same here. Made up for KW top scoring as predicted. Didn't expect the openers to stand up, obviously forgot it was Napier.

Hope it's another team after watching NZ-Pakistan at the cake tin on Saturday.

Ireland?

 

[hendrix]

Our lack of top order wickets is a little bit of a concern. I get the feeling they're overdoing the cross-seamers a wee bit.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Ireland?

Ha, that would be ace. Never seen them play live, that's for sure!

 

[Grasshopper]

That was a satisfying result. Good contributions all round.
