*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

What’s the draw with scores equal paying

 

[Howe_zat]

They've surely got to spread the field now, not forgetting to take the time to move a key fielder 6 inches after every ball

 

[ashley bach]

Think Babar knew the light would save them.

83 off 9.

NZ should keep going hard even if wickets fall!

might not get full overs in.... the light.

I don't think he thinks

Almost certainly get the min overs

Lol bringing on pacers from both ends to delay bowling 15 overs, how did they even get to this point ?

 

[Howe_zat]

Incorrect, the only way to bazball is to go 500% bazball. If Pakistan lose it's because they didn't bazball enough.

I know you're being ironic but this is kind of true, the main thing that makes this declaration so crap is that it doens't gel at all with how they played for most of the day. If Pakistan had wanted to get a proper lead by tea they could have gone about trying to do that.

Bad light tho. This is a later time than they were going off for most of the previous series.

 

[ashley bach]

Light will have the final say, no doubt about it sadly.

 

[Coronis]

Southee should’ve opened.

 

[ashley bach]

Southee should’ve opened.

**** no

 

[DriveClub]

Cant they use stadium lights to finish the minimum overs?

 

[Tom Flint]

Why aren't they just bowling full and wide with a third man and fly slip
This is great from babar he knows the condition and has just made it interesting for us all for half an hour

 

[centurymaker]

79 off 8.

Just a few overs left considering the light. Game over

 

[thierry henry]

Thankfully MOTHER NATURE respects test cricket

 

[straw man]

if it's on the level i'm cool with it.

i've suffered a lot of god using console commands against my team to look a gift horse in the eye when he does it in our favour for the first time in non nicholls history.

While it would be far from the first time a team has won a test due to the opposition doing something incomprehensibly dumb, it's usually something that happens in-the-heat-of-the-moment on the field. Whereas this declaration makes zero sense in any way. And it's different to random acts of god/satan/sodhi like the bails not falling off - those are just part of the game.

Anyway looks like light will be called before we score the runs.

don’t really understand why bad light should be taken when the batting team wants to stay out there

 

[Heboric]

Babar plays 4d chess blind folded....

Knows what he is doing

Cricket is stupid
