1st Semi Final | NZ vs Pak | Sydney, 09 Nov 2022

[Burgey]

Thought that wasn’t a bad shout tbh

 

[_Ed_]

Yep, why the **** wouldn't we review at this point?

 

[Apex Predator]

Damn Pakistan is like the House of Stark family! You can't afford to give them even a sniff ....Leave one wolf behind and the sheep are never safe!

Pakistan team entry in MCG should have a Undertaker Theme... Would be so cool in a Packed MCG

 

[Socerer 01]

Santner is neither

leading wicket taker
most economical bowler
highest strike rate bowler
best average bowler

in this world cup

how high were the kiwibros when they called him the best bowler?

 

[Athlai]

Come on guys tell me that isn't the reply of the best in the world

Desperate review

Miles down the track

 

[morgieb]

That bounced a lot higher than I expected. Thought the problem was line.

Sodhi! Who I was thinking should probably have been dropped for Macewell, of all people. Prove me wrong, Ish.

 

[trundler]

Wow did Babar really hit Santa for 4? He might be good

 

[cnerd123]

lolol

looked closer than that live tbf but the viewpoint we have on TV is not the best for judging height

It will be annoying when Pakistan play a top game to win this semi and then roll over and die against India in the final.

I'd settle for that

 

[straw man]

Mostly this match is just reminiscent of losing to Australia in the final last tournament. Batting recovers to a slightly sub-par score against very good bowling.

Then bowlers come out and just get taken apart. Unable to control the run rate and too many four-balls. Don't respond well to being attacked.

Only slight hope that there is help for the spinners out there. Pakistan have no scoring rate pressure though.

Jazba Junoon on the ground too much for Kiwi players look like...

 

[_Ed_]

I was, like, 'wtf, 800 partnerships between Babar and Rizwan?!' Took me a while to realise Bishop said eight 100-partnerships.

 

[Athlai]

Didn't Diveway and Can't Catchway is getting a lot of the stick from the comms

 

[straw man]

Half our specialist keepers would have dropped that too.

 

[Meridio]

This is all the Netherlands' fault.

Yeah its just weak overall. We have never had a convincing semi or final game where we get on the front foot and stay there. Always a fight from underneath crap and it just gets us to a ok total, pressure never goes away and we fall meekly. Its predictable and tiring as a fan really. How many times will we get into a semi or a final and just not go on to lift a trophy? Such a waste. Super annoying.
