As much as short ball wickets are Wagner's thing, Fawad has to be unhappy with that shot - bouncer was completely unthreatening being a foot or more above head height.

Busy being a net bowler...

Still remember watching him and Matt Henry bowling to Raval during a lunch break of the Boxing Day test last year. Raval couldn’t get bat on ball against Jamieson, he made Henry on the other hand look like a club bowler. The Aussie’s around us couldn’t work out why “the big ****” wasn’t getting a run for us.

So infuriating in hindsight. Jamieson did credit Malan for helping with his bowling in the 2019 off-season so he may have gained a bit of pace then that took him from looking mid 120's to mid-130's. Not in time to leapfrog Henry in the pecking order for that Australian tour though.

Pakistan scoring an annoying number of runs now - I wanted them to hit the second new ball at no more than 120.

This is all getting a bit repetitive isn't it? Visiting team win toss and bowl, NZ get 400+, visiting team collapse. Rinse and repeat.

Is this what "winning so much you'll get tired of winning" means?

Weather has been absolutely bizarre all day. Brilliant sunshine, sudden cloud and rain, brilliant sunshine, sudden hail

Stick a fork in Azhar he is goosed. A limited player who has played some immense innings so should be remembered fondly but enough is enough. Alam was harshly treated in his peak but in 2020 he should not be playing test cricket either.

Not really followed the Pakistani domestic scene for a bit but these 2 dudes need to be phased out quickly.

It was effing weird. I was at the ground until the first rain break, you never thought it was any chance of raining - even when it was. Then I get home and it’s hailing. Bizarre.

I will say it’s an epic place for Test cricket. So easy to park, get in, strong food/drink facilities, grass banks, allowed on the ground at lunch, and when the day’s play is done there’s so many bars and restaurants very close by. Shouldn’t and won’t be the last Boxing Day there - day night Test should be next

I couldn’t believe the fact that I was just able to turn up and park...in the car park. For free. And it’s not like there’s no crowd.
