*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[_Ed_]

Oof, lovely shot by Imam.

 

[_Ed_]

Heeeere's Sodhi!

 

[thierry henry]

They’re absolutely cruising, it’s over

 

[_Ed_]

Well, that was just ****ing sensational by Sodhi.

 

[ataraxia]

This is going to be an easy win, thank goodness. Just need to get one of Shakeel and Sarfaraz...

 

[anil1405]

100, 100 and 120 session wise is not a big ask om this deck. Pakistan have this under their control.

 

[Burgey]

Imam WTAF was that shot

 

[thierry henry]

I have literally no idea what to make of Sodhi. Over the last several years his action seems to have been getting more and more vertical and he’s been putting less and less on his leg break. Now he’s bowling a succession of huge leggies. Maybe the run up change is reaping some rewards?

Magic sunglasses, IMO.

 

[thierry henry]

Starfighter to come and explain that he’s turning the leg break more because he’s actually just bowling cutters like they did before the wristy South Africans of the mid 1900s

Who is this Sikander on comms? Far better than Bazid and seems reasonably balanced as a commentator too. Good addition.

I hope
It’s the great Sikander Bakt

edit: omg it is!

 

[honestbharani]

I remember him on comms sometimes in the late 90s and early 00s. Glad to see him back. Guy is good.

Former RJ Sikandar Bakht is one of very few non-cricketers to have emerged as a prominent game commentator in recent times...

I’m not sure if this is a joke but….it’s not that Sikander Bakht

Oh no

 

[Burgey]

Also pretty pissed off I sat down to watch my man Imam Ul Haq grind out a tough couple of sessions only to see him play that shot. Woeful.

 

[Immenso]

Chrus Harris changed from being a seamer to a 'spinner' in mid 90s. Yes, he bowled leg rollers/cutters.

Used to bowl big, but slow, banana bender in swingers first 3rd of his international career.

Edit. Although I think I remember him going back to his swingers one game towards end of his career, maybe.

 

[Zinzan]

Babar is the best in the world on these decks & for that reason I still have Pakistan as favourites, and feel we handed them too easy a target. It looks like it's going to be hard work to get wickets.
