Pakistan vs New Zealand at Sharjah: Matchday thread; Tue 26/10 Late Game

[Arachnodouche]

Closed out the over well atleast. Another blow would've made this a formality.

 

[Moss]

Now Southee decides to bowl with some venom

 

[nzfan]

If we grab a wicket here the pressure will be back on Pakistan. The game is still on not withstanding those two sixes.

 

[straw man]

three dots to end the over a good recovery from Southee, but NZ need a wicket in the next few balls to stall the scoring rate

 

[straw man]

tf was that

 

[cnerd123]

Got out of that over strongly. Still 8 an over

Santa - Boult - Neesham?

 

[straw man]

game

that was a great six - can't blame Santner for that one

 

[bill8164]

I think those 3 balls ended the game unfortunately.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Not sure what purpose Santner has ever served. The definition of a mediocre cricketer. Good fielder perhaps?

 

[cnerd123]

too many long hops from NZ today. Keep releasing the pressure. Dunnow if it's the dew or the #pressure, or just lack of skill, but goes to show how well Pak bowled.

 

[Moss]

Score one for Pakistan batting depth?

Shows how much Ferguson is missing today.

yea definitely not a bowler I'd want to rely on for 4 overs in a high-level T20. Could do the job in domestix but wouldn't even get a gig in the IPL.

Batting and fielding make him a decent allround package but NZ perhaps a bowler short here.

 

[nzfan]

Ever reliable Santner taking a tap. Malik looking good. Game is done and dusted. Was a good game but we needed 150. India game is going to be a knock out game it looks like. I had more hope of beating Pakistan than India.

 

[Arachnodouche]

This Bazid **** is painful to listen to. Might as well paint his dick green and wave it in everyone's face.

 

[thierry henry]

**** chat about Santner. He’s a very good ODI and T20 bowler and that’s why he’s in the team. Simple as that. And he’s already in the IPL.

 

[TheBrand]

Yeah Santner is class. Why we continue bowling Southee at the death really frustrates me though.

He isn't today though?

The Punjabi side of me is jamming to the song

 

[thierry henry]

Anyway, sort of a weird feel to the end of the game for me. Waited and waited for Pakistan to do something, then just when I finally felt like 75% confident we were gonna win, Ali and Malik obliterated us in 2 overs. Reality of a small total I guess.
