*Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

[trundler]

Is it just me or has CdG actually looked the more threatening bowler

Not just you. He's testing the batsmen.

 

[Gomez656]

1 down Pakistan
Wi 6 down

Jesus, CdG liking as nasty as Abbas out there.

 

[_Ed_]

CDG! Superb.

 

[straw man]

Surprising amount of swing around for the new ball bowlers, especially CDG

edit: yuss, my stream a bit behind, very pleased to get that one after the miss

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha this is quality.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Here to pose the real question: where them haterz at??

 

[harsh.ag]

Almost gets Sohail too!

 

[straw man]

Really pretty awful of Imam to play at that as an opener - nowhere near threatening the stumps.

I guess usually in UAE you can get away with that, but yeah a surprising amount of movement around.

don't drop CDG for Southee because CDG is a better bowler?

 

[trundler]

Troll medium pace wins again!

 

[Bahnz]

Would've given Boult another couple of overs.

 

[harsh.ag]

Wish there existed a decent Pakistani commentator

 

[harsh.ag]

Sohail has a tailender's stance.

 

[Bahnz]

Good first hour, but goddamn those dropped chances are irritating.

 

[harsh.ag]

"It's not like the catches they have held wouldn't have carried otherwise". Hafeez's wouldn't have.

 

[Moss]

Yup getting Azhar too would have been the icing on the cake. Batting 4th probably not ideal once again.

 

[harsh.ag]

Boult should be bowling

 

[straw man]

Pakistan scoring most of their boundaries from edges.

NZ could really do with one more wicket here, especially Azhar to make up for the miss earlier.

 

[Moss]

Get a third man in there Kane.

All three seamers have been terrific on what really isn't their sort of pitch.
