*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[Bahnz]

Right on cue Bracewell nicks off again

The one upside of a stupid declaration is it’s the only thing that’s stopping Macewell from getting a test hundred.

 

[straw man]

Honestly it would be useful if Macewell was good enough to be a test 6 or 7 batsman for NZ and provide his part-time offspin. Right now I still require a bucketload of convincing and this innings has not changed that - so often looks out of his depth.

Nice for him to get a test 50 of course. Something to tell the grandchildren (who will all be selected to play cricket for New Zealand) about.

Macewell is an outside chance of a ton tonight if he bats well and we go long enough.

Which let me be clear, despite not rating him at all, would be hilarious.

 

[Athlai]

Macewell rocks and haters can suck it

 

[thierry henry]

I can now reveal that this Macewell innings was in fact the work of my finest jinx yet

 

[straw man]

Can't believe Macewell just vandalised Mitchell's golden arm.

 

[ashley bach]

It'll all be sweet, you can rely on Bracewell getting us out of the hole here.

You dumb ****s thought I was joking didn't you?

Blundell’s had a pretty incredible year. Hard to believe it but there was genuine pressure on his place at the start of that SA series.

Not really, if there was it would of been pretty short sighted.

[trundler]

Nah we suck and will make any chump look test standard

 

[Moss]

Hopefully Mitchell can get that 1000 run landmark now.

Where's rizwan?

He's a budget Ravindra imo so if we wanted to pursue the spin bowling allrounder thing with a player who isn't the finished article...he was there. He looked bad in one innings tho so got biffed for a 31 year old project who often looks bad.

I don't mind the idea to make a spin bowling allrounder, but they picked the wrong dude. It's done now, and he's quietly having a very reasonable series so far.

Safaraz is so ****ing ****

 

[Flem274*]

Ahahahahaha

 

[Bahnz]

Jayzus Christ Sarfraz what the actual ****

 

[thierry henry]

So we use up our entire luck quota for the year (at least) and hand them the test anyway

 

[Zinzan]

Yes Simon Doull 3-4 overs batting tonight may be awkward. On the other hand if they do get through unscathed as they should, I can see them winning by 6-7 wickets tomorrow. Pakistan can't believe their luck, I'm sure. Late Xmas present imo.

 

[Moss]

Gave into pressure there from the comms? Would have biffed a few more and declared overnight.

Where's rizwan?

Doesn't score fast enough in domestic T20 comps.
