Surprised to learn he has two test wickets. In his final test maybe they should give him one last over.

NZ will bowl with much increased intensity and will give it their all, so anything is possible. I have seen bigger teams crumble on day 5 in nz, not necessarily due to the pitch.

Think we left close enough to 100 runs out there on that pitch but we're in no position to complain.
A better team would have made far better use of the conditions, and also been more adventurous against the old ball. But given our inexperienced tail, losing a wicket too early might have triggered a late-afternoon lolapse as well.

A lot of comments about NZ being undercooked.
But then Southee and Jamieson are tired from bowling in India.
Which one is it?

I think Shakib underestimated how much stat-padding he could have done in this first test when he decided to pull out

Think he'd fancy a few wickets on a day 5 set up like this as well.I think Shakib underestimated how much stat-padding he could have done in this first test when he decided to pull out

Well now the bowlers will be too tired to perform well in the second test. We may need to play Ferguson and Henry.

There are tons of possibilities but no denying Bangers will have to play & sh** their beds massively to blew this one. Might turn out to be a draw. Remember Pakistan also almost drew the game here. This ain't Basin reserve or Hagley oval.

Tough call but I can't see that bet paying much more. NZ will probably get the last four wickets for under 50 tomorrow morning and then ease past the deficit 2 down at most.

Yeah a (from memory also understrength?) Pakistan were in the hunt for a win last year, and then failed to draw when they really should have. Obviously conditions at the Big Maunga aren’t too unfavourable for subcontinent teams.
Both obviously ?

Feel like Mominul has done enough to be in the conversation for best pure batsman with Tamim now.

Don't really agree, he debuted right near the start of the "absolutely putrid roads in Bangladesh" era and he averages less than 30 away. I'd still have Shakib and Rahim ahead of him.
For a bit of context, Rahim and Shakib actually both average 44 in games they've played with Mominul.
He's only 30 so he could get there if he improves later-career like Rahim and Shakib have but I don't think he's done enough yet.

Both wickets here, absolute hand grenades

Rahim and Shakib aren't as good as they were imo. So agree with OP

Daily reminder that he couldn't bowl a hoop down a hill.
Lol @ that being the Harbhajan ton game though. Should've brought him on to bowl a filthy full toss to him much earlier.
