***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2016/17

[Zinzan]

Could have left that on length.

Also, why the **** did they need to check the front foot on that? He cut the line in half with his boot.

Because I think everyone accepts that umpires don't actually look at the no balls live anymore.

 

[Blocky]

What's with Pakistani fielders dropping every other catch off Amir ever since the guy has come back?

Happened quite a many times on the England tour too. Can't help but rule out some bad blood.

I think if he keeps bowling like this and how he's bowled in this series, the bad blood will fade pretty quickly.

He's got a decade or more in this side too.

Myth in these conditions would average 28.

 

[Zinzan]

Garbage Doully. Latham's dismissal looked even worse at a 2nd look. As a Test opener in these conditions, you're going to get one with your name on it...but I don't think that was the one of those balls.

 

[Zinzan]

Pakistan really need to make the most of this, they won't get conditions like this in Australia.

 

[Nate]

Henry's back eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Lol Babar Azam copying his cousin Kakmal

Both of our openers being left-handed is probably not ideal

It's literally only an issue against Pakistan.

 

[Zinzan]

Possibly, although I can think of a few successful left-handed opening partnerships. Hayden/Langer & Cook/Strauss spring to mind.

Yeah Latham seemed to agree and ducked out to get the RH/LH combo going.

 

[Zinzan]

Oooo poor shot KW, Dropped... lucky boy.

 

[straw man]

Also, our 3 and 4 are RHs so that balances well enough. Also, our 5/6/7/8 options are a fairly even mix of L and R too. Over the course of an innings we get lots of L/R combinations.

That Oddfellow's story lol

 

[Blocky]

Amir has had all three out and only got one wicket.. I'd be ****ing fuming.

He dropped one himself.

 

[Blocky]

He dropped one himself.

Yeah, nothing annoys you more as a bowler, let me tell you.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Where is our ghambiring specialist? He is needed.

 

[Zinzan]

It's hard to see this pitch changing anytime soon with overcast conditions. I'm sure it will dry off a little, but I'm not sure it will be the worst disadvantage batting first like some green NZ pitches that become great for batting on days 2 & 3.

 

[Blocky]

Raval doing what Guptill always struggled to do, finding runs even when he's not ontop of the bowling.

The pitch is meaningless in Hamilton, it's the overhead conditions.

Galloway Park was always green and if it was sunny, it did nothing, if it was overcast, it seamed, swung and shot through.
