If these two finish not out we'll have 5 batsmen averaging in the 40s. I never thought I'd see the day

That turned into a thrashing - hard to believe. I wonder if Pakistan wishes they'd dropped KDub

Pretty fitting way for CDG to pay tribute to his dad. Sensational innings, I thought we were toast.
Nicholls really doing a good job this home season in the ODI side.

I'm late to this but why did Shoaib Malik bat on after that nasty hit? You'd have thought they'd take head injuries seriously after the hughes incident.

Batted on but got out soon after.

He was looking rubbish until CdG started blasting. Almost as if the pressure of having to score all the runs was lifted and made his life easier.
hate to think what would've happened if CdG wasn't there. Probably crumbled to an all out. CdG was god like - just completely took the game away from Pakistan.

I never sought I'd say this, but it really seems like CdG might just actually be quite good - at least in NZ conditions. Him bullying WI is one thing, but this is a pdg Pakistani bowling attack. Will be interesting to see how he handles Starc and Cummins (if they bother coming that is).

Grand's century last year in tests was thrilling. It was the first time I thought of him as a genuine, possible world beater. Did it again in his first match back against a very good side.
Guy may be going places.

Sigh, still no Chapman.
But I've always been a fan of Wheeler, so I'm glad to see him back in the mix.

Pace isn't an issue for Colin, he sees it earlier and better than most. It'll be mentally whether he backs himself to score runs v Australia etc, because he's certainly capable. There's not too many more talented than him in world cricket as he showed last night. Some of his hitting was other-worldly, and to take on Sohail in particular with feet and wrestle the momentum back I thought was some of the most positive bold batting I've seen in a long time. Gee I enjoyed it.
Yeah, the selectors obviously have too much of an ego to admit they got it wrong on Anaru. Chapman is top of the run-scoring charts, Anaru is no form at all. One is 23 one is 34. It's just such a no-brainer but they're being pig-headed about their poor selection option in the first plaace.
I should point out I don't care about T20 internationals, it's just a poor selection issue and the fact Chapman should be exposed to international cricket as is the only straw-grasping relevance to T20 ints.
