*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

This is usually a danger period for Latham, when the opposition dries up the runs and the free scoring partner at the other end has been removed. Hope he can take charge here.

 

[trundler]

C'mon Hamza me boy.

 

[Gnske]

Mir Hamza's horrendous cross eyes leave me with the impression that he thinks he only dates twins.

 

[Gnske]

Also today I learned Nauman Ali is very much alive and isn't in a grave with the rest of his generation that saw the end of Queen Victoria's reign

 

[Moss]

Seems like he may have hit that

Overruling that apparent spike was a *slightly* generous interpretation of the laws of conclusiveness, but think it was fair in the end. Would have been caught anyway if it was an edge.

 

[trundler]

Well played. Now **** off

 

[Athlai]

Good stuff from Latham, one of his finest

 

[Athlai]

Turner
Latham

Definitely our ATG openers atm. Conway could ruin that for him though

 

[Moss]

Yeah, great knock so far, missed one in Kanpur last year after playing extremely well.

Challenge for him really begins now though. The way the spinners are bowling, need someone of his caliber out there for as long as possible.

Pakistan played a much superior opener than both in its first test.

 

[Athlai]

Latham Conway and Williamson must be some of the best players vs spin in the world

 

[Athlai]

Oh my

 

[Moss]

Pakistan played a much superior opener than both in its first test.

TBF I doubt he has been bettered by any Pakistani opener since.

 

[ashley bach]

No mention of the honourable Mark Richardson ?

 

[trundler]

TBF I doubt he has been bettered by any Pakistani opener since.

Definitely not but that doesn't suit my narrative so I chose to ignore it

 

[Moss]

Sarfaraz helping rescue the first innings and now slipping back into captaincy like the last 4 years never happened. Peak Pakistan.

 

[ashley bach]

Kane almost looks scared to play his shots, hope something clicks for him soon, 7 runs in an hour is tough going.

 

[trundler]

Tiniest of conclusive spikes there. Bugger

Looks nowhere near his best, but it's been a tough period for batting and not sure I'd back any of the remaining batters to see off this ongoing spell from the spinners.
