*Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

[trundler]

Abbas ought to fire soon

I won't put it past our boys to stage a comeback from here, you never know. None believed we'd win the last match.

I'm certain as the score gets closer to Pakistan's lead, they're supporters, coach and players will get restless. I know it's wishful thinking but if somehow we can push to 100 runs lead from here (that'll mean we'll need to get 230 high is about 1 in 100 chance) we'll have a serious shot.

With the way this series has gone only one wicket needs to fall and the rest will go like a house of cards.

 

[straw man]

Can we fly in England's tail for lower order runs?

6/30, 6/29 and 6/27 so far this series - remarkably consistent really.

 

[Flem274*]

where was this ability to make a normal score in the first innings?

even 239 all out would have been moderately salvageable if we batted like this in the following innings

can't believe the commentators are sulking about the pitch now lol it looks like the same turny motorway it was yesterday to me

Again, just have to accept it was a freakishly good effort from Yasir, those last 9 wickets fell in the space of 8 overs or so.

England fans would have been asking the same thing during the Auckland test earlier this year.

 

[harsh.ag]

Just keep batting till tea tomorrow.

 

[trundler]

Lazy and complacent cricket from Pakistan. 50 up for Nicholls. **** off now.

 

[straw man]

Sorry going to have to jinx Nicholls and say that this has been a very impressive half century.

yeah true, i'm making the fan mistake of ungracefully focusing on my own teams performance without factoring in how good the other team was

my boi henry nicholls scrapping for nz yet again

double it

 

[straw man]

Disappointing - I was enjoying that Nicholls/Watling partnership.


Now the moment we've all been waiting for - what will be the exciting next chapter in this saga?

6/30, 6/29 and 6/27 so far this series - remarkably consistent really.

 

[Athlai]

Raise the bat CDG, there’s the 10.

 

[straw man]

De Grandhomme taking a leaf out of Taylor's book with a bit of biff.

First time he's passed a single shot's worth of runs this whole tour
1, 6, 4, 6, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 8*

 

[Zinzan]

CDG to hit a swashbuckling counter-attacking ton off 80 odd balls. You heard it first.

 

[Flem274*]

lol 14 and out

just any pic you like of colin hitting a massive shot straw man. if he contributed an innings of substance i would have thought of something cruel.

 

[Athlai]

 

[straw man]

14 but no more! How did I know he'd do something like that.

Flem you may choose an avatar.
