*Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

Taylor was nothing other than incredibly unlucky. Day 1, first ball he faces and he gets the only ball all day that’s rolled.

If he was in good form no-one would be trying to rationalise that as his fault.

dammit, i was just thinking as i fired up skygo that it would be really annoying if ross got a duck after hearing raval go.

i see we're giving one of the most fortunate dayboos of the century to somerville. what a contrast in what our two spinners had to do to get here.

 

[Flem274*]

god dammit that's an unlucky way to go

 

[thierry henry]

Yasir having an incredible amount of luck

 

[straw man]

FFS. How can we lose a batsman twice this series like that?

 

[nzfan]

Not again, I'm not ready to look at another collapse by our boys particularly after having batted first.

 

[Moss]

Well so much for winning the toss.

 

[straw man]

Collapse is on - run-out incoming

 

[Gnske]

Kane and the other AB are real peas in a pod.

its ok guys we replaced a quick who didn't need replacing and we've picked the most random spinner in our domestic comp because he's australian. we've got this.

 

[CM Punk]

Lost the Test in the first session lol

Yasir has run through us in 3 innings now.

 

[NZTailender]

So Latham o far the only one who didn't fall on the bad side of something that could've easily gone the other way with a bit more luck?

 

[thierry henry]

A very speculative LBW decision, a roller and a fluky deflection. It’s just not our day/last 2 tests. Guess we used up a lot of luck in the first test.

tbh that Nicholls ball also looked like it kept low so I don't think Wagner would have the greatest luck banging it in.

if the bounce is inconsistent he'd be in heaven. he'd hit so many blokes.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

So far we've scored about 300 for 24 in 1st innings totals in 2 tests and one session

 

[morgieb]

I can't believe Will Somerville is a test cricketer. Even in this decade.

The new Brendan Nash.

More proof that Australian grade cricket > NZ domestics.

Yeah but we replaced that quick with a guy whose not going to offer anything but can't be left out too long or as big swinging dick of the team he'll blow the environment up out the window.

So that's cool.

 

[Zinzan]

Missed the first session. Case of brilliant bowling from Yasir, spineless batting by us, or just a combination of the two?

Incidentally, is Raval ever going to go on?

 

[Flem274*]

i know just because he was less able it doesn't mean he isn't allowed opinions (otherwise we'd have to shut down cw) but whenever jimmy franklin critiques a batsman all i can think of was how he batted like a timid giraffe with concrete shoes
