*Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

[The Hutt Rec]

Only difference is the Black Caps didn't start abusing each other. Any team I was involved in would have been paying $1.01 to start slinging swear words at each other after a double overthrow.

Come to think of it, I was probably the problem...

Followed by every return throw for the rest of the match being accompanied by frantic cries of "back up, someone back up, back up!!!"

 

[Flem274*]

wagners solidly medium pace on the broken toe but is also reversing it in the 22nd over.

check his pockets.

Time Southee has 300 test wickets? What

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That's one fine looking international cricket team.

Why doesn't mine look like that?

 

[Meridio]

Santner much too short so far, they've been able to play him off the back foot comfortably. Should be a pitch that gives some variable bounce and spin, needs to show he can respond to that.

every time comms say things like 'southee is polarising to the fanbase' it makes me wonder how many of them lurk on here, reddit, the marty banks facebook page etc

im sure the nz comms have seen cw because the icing metaphor has been tossed around the box for a couple of years now.

if youre reading baz say 'james anderson is a duke ball hackfraud and southee is better' on comms tomorrow.

 

[Athlai]

The icing thing always gets me going. Pop for the boys

 

[cnerd123]

Wagner vs Alam - can cricket get any uglier?

Hope Alam goes big here tbh.

Gotta run it through his focus groups first.

Well if Ishant Sharma has 297...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not saying hes ****, but I didnt realise he'd played that long for whatever reason.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Not saying hes ****, but I didnt realise he'd played that long for whatever reason.

Debuted in 2008 as an 19 year-old after starring in the U 19 World Cup.

 

[TT Boy]

Not saying hes ****, but I didnt realise he'd played that long for whatever reason.

Went straight into international cricket after the U19 2008 WC like Kohli. Boult, who was in the same side, had to wait a good few years to debut.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea Southee has been around as long as Ishant has. Similar careers too, except Ishant has gotten better with time while Southee's best is arguably behind him.

Yet Southee is still better than him. Odd that

 

[Flem274*]

mccullum produced some numbers where in southee's last 19 tests he's produced more than bond. opponents must include this lot, windies, india, aus, sri lanka away, pakistan away and not sure who else.

but i agree southee 2012-2014 was a level above.

heh

both could have a cripple fight with the white ball

Check dem icc test bowling rankings while you're at it

Need Santner to step up here especially if Wagner is unavailable for the final day. Wasn't bowling particularly well especially to the left hander.
