33rd Match - New Zealand v Pakistan

[trundler]

Needed that

 

[Raghav]

Boult needs a bit aggressive field

This is where Baz captaincy works well, he attacks, but KW is looking to not give away NRR advantage here

 

[Howsie]

I think more of a bowling, NZ are losing for batting! Munro and Latham should be replaced

Yes well I still have a little bit of hope they will replace Munro but Latham? He’s got another 18 months at least of underperforming before he’s up for the chop if the recent past is anything to go by

 

[trundler]

That's what you're supposed to do, Hackfeez

 

[rythy]

India need to have a really horrible game soon.

Already had against Afghan. Bowling just about saved the day..just

 

[trundler]

This is just incredible batsmanship. All class.

 

[Moss]

Feel for Santner here. Any other day might have picked up a clutch of wickets, now figures taking a pounding.

 

[weldone]

Haris has really been the reason for Pakistan's revival in this tournament.

 

[trundler]

Santner is officially Vettori 2.0 now

Is Blundell a mug with the gloves?

Latham has failed on pretty much all surfaces here whether flat or trickier pitches where supposedly he would excel on.

Today for example was a great opportunity for him to cement his position in the team.

 

[trundler]

Boo. That deserved 4.

 

[trundler]

Latham also let go of a catch and s stumping off Mitch

Blundell decent enough with the gloves from what I've seen. Would be asking a lot of him to debut against Aus though.

This has been quite unpakistan like so far.

I had given up on them once the openers had gone

Too early to ease on the gambhiring spell

This has been a fabulous partnership between Babar and Haris. Congratulations, you're still in the tournament.

nah, if Pakistan loses from here they should stop playing cricket altogether

 

[trundler]

nah, if Pakistan loses from here they should stop playing cricket altogether

They've made me give up on cricket several times already, ha

 

[trundler]

50 up for Haris. Gem of an innings. Very very well deserved. Epic partnership.

 

[trundler]

NZ have been good with the ground fielding
