yea wags is a genetic freak, so much stamina & tolerance

 

[nightprowler10]

Good win for the Kiwis. Well played.

 

[thundaboult]

jamieson and wags have been immense while southee boult deliver 120 nothings


oh i see santners playing too

 

[trundler]

The OUP is set to include a picture of Mitch Santner under 'passenger' next year.

 

[nightprowler10]

Need Santner to clean up here so he can prove his worth enough to play the next match.

 

[straw man]

Great test match, ultimately. Wonder if these two might yet bat seven or eight overs to revive the question of Pakistan saving the game. Before they get knocked over.

Jamieson damn good, this display makes me think he can do something similar to Wagner when he eventually hangs up his boots.

Fawad will still be furious with himself in the sheds - bad shot, though is also a reminder of just how hard it is to face short ball after short ball. Sick of ducking perhaps, got out to the least threatening short ball of the lot.

 

[thierry henry]

Man, the ball going over your head for four in the deep is an unforgivable cricketing sin

No... Southee was very deliberately positioned exactly where he was, common position for Wagner’s leg theory

 

[jcas0167]

Should Jamieson try his yorker a bit more?

 

[Flametree]

Yeah, aiming at the stumps as a a surprise tactic at the minimum would be nice...

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Should Jamieson try his yorker a bit more?

Yeah, make these last three play I reckon.

 

[thundaboult]

sants must work at the post office cuz boy does he mail it in

 

[trundler]

Should Jamieson try his yorker a bit more?

Should try having a less stupid face

 

[Prince EWS]

Should try having a less stupid face

He did, it didn't help.

I know this is straight out iconoclasm, but even after 5 years I still simply don’t like the bodyline approach. And yeah, it’s one of, if not the most, effective bowling tactics in the history of NZ cricket

Is Pakistan's concussion sub Babar

 

[thierry henry]

Hadn’t even seen Shaheen get hit when I posted that ftr, just a general comment

well timed post - a nasty knock, even if it didn't look overly quick

 

[Burgey]

Ah Jeez this is rotten luck for the young fella

 

[thundaboult]

wags trying to break something on shaheen for the lulz/revenge

It’s just crappy anti-cricket tbh. On a fundamental level of what is and isn’t good cricket. But I get the impulse to rationalise.
