*Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

[_Ed_]

Yasir Mcgain

Nice.

 

[Flem274*]

this is so ruthless from pakistan. love it.

jeet played so well too. adapted and changed his game. his more experienced partner could take note of his resolve.

 

[BeeGee]

What's even guys? NZ lead of 200? Pakistan favoured 150-200, NZ 250+?

I'd say 200. I wouldn't want to chase more than that.

 

[straw man]

Man, saw the score was 100/2 earlier and thought this might be a career-defining knock for Raval, disappointed he didn't go on.

I reckon a chase of about 180 is even. Making another 120 from here is going to be tough though.

 

[NZTailender]

If we somehow wrangle a lead of 180-200 we have a good shout. The spinners will have to turn up though, no pun intended.

 

[Moss]

This is one of the flimsier lower middle orders NZ have had in recent times though, they'll do well to add a bunch against this attack. Lot riding on this partnership.

 

[Athlai]

Looking forward to a Boult 50.

 

[Xuhaib]

Rameez is such a rubbish commentator before a game he asks the stats guy to feed him half a dozen stats related to players involved in that game and then randomly keeps repeating them in different order

 

[straw man]

Watling so good he can hit the ball right off the middle of his edge

 

[wellAlbidarned]

if these two can grind another 50 or so then cdg slogs a quick 30 we've got a shot

 

[Flem274*]

i don't think there are many demons in this deck. there's a shade of spin but a lot of the collapsing is down to the pakistani skill with reverse swing. if you refuse to budge you can last a long time on this deck.

300 target minimum unless boult or wags has a blinder. ajaz and sodhi are not herath.

 

[straw man]

Nipples is playing a really good innings apart from seriously troubled by Yasir around the wicket. Glorious reverse sweep though!

Now I'm going to go back to not posting or breathing so as not to jinx this partnership.

Henry Nicholls has become the essential "gutsy" cricketer to me

I think I'm starting to like him after shitting on him for so long.

Pretty much. It must be due to proximity to Watling and Wagner.

sod off fair weather fans, i've been telling you he's good for years

If old Simon Wiesenthal is within a suburb of a former camp guard, the guard dies of poison, and no one sees it, is he really guilty?

yes, but only because the camp guard did nothing wrong

has always attracted some praise for 'batting looks ugly but has a good temperament' tbf

Sweet moment for us long-term fans.

 

[Moss]

Played Henry. Can be proud of the effort so far.
