*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[straw man]

Tail wag always so much fun when it's not against your team

 

[Athlai]

Mark Henry is decent

Tail wag always so much fun when it's not against your team

When it's your team there's a feeling of great frustration , the stress levels go through the roof ...

 

[ashley bach]

any reason there’s nobody at the ground?

Entrance fee is far too expensive.

 

[Starfighter]

So has Babar thought of throwing the ball to the guy who got the most wickets yesterday?

 

[Moss]

400! Unbelievable.

Still short of what NZ would be comfortable IMO, but momentum's gotta count for something

 

[Fuller Pilch]

They need to pay fans to attend

there was some post on reddit cricket about how godawful the ticketing and viewing experience in the recent Karachi test was, it was more than just the cost

Don't be silly, that would qualify as good captaincy, and we all know Babar isn't up to that.

That really sucks, and especially after so many years of not having any international cricket in Pakistan at all.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

This is more than a wag , potentially match defining partnership this , cause this is going to take mental strain on the Pakistani players , all the momentum is now with New Zealand .

 

[ashley bach]

Southee to 11

I know, it was sarcastic (after reading the statement in the Crapinfo commentary). Babar couldn't captain a rowboat.

Thoughts and prayers for those 10s of people who experienced the previous test.

Yes Matt Henry!

This has been a great knock, and some poo from Pakistan - most notably the short stuff on a deck that isn't coming through.

Yeah and you'd still think even if the organisers almost don't want you in the stadium, there would still be more than a smattering of attendees in a city of *checks* 15 million people.

 

[trundler]

This is 70 runs above par now. Nothing can end well for this side. This will probably lead to some brain explosions too.

 

[straw man]

Henry WAG

It's just Karachi that does this. All the other stadiums get good crowds. I can only assume that it's because the people there suck.

Great knock Henry and support from Ajaz.

Does reinforce NZ will need to bowl well though. No demons for the tail. Still a road.
