*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[trundler]

That's a great knock. Go on lad

 

[Burgey]

What a magnificent hundred.

 

[Flem274*]

that's a celebration.

quality knock, he's bringing pakistan home at a canter here. this is why you always ignore commentator wahs.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

His keeping is terrible, but he can certainly bat! Brilliant

 

[Shady Slim]

pakistan came into the final session of i believe the first england game in a similar situation, but came out trying to block the draw out and were promptly rissoled

if they do get through here it'll be a huge win for holders of class-a shares in He Got That Dawg In Him Ltd

If Pakistan pull this off we can probably award the Innings of the Year award right now.

He’s chasing against NZ, it doesn’t count

 

[Meridio]

Feel like we're holding out for the new ball here, we seem to have given up on actually trying to take wickets

 

[trundler]

He's a Pakistani batsmen batting intelligently so it counts double

 

[thierry henry]

Was I imagining that it was spinning a bit with some uneven bounce earlier? Captain Southee seems to have forgotten that batting can be made difficult

 

[Meridio]

That said, the commentators are now talking as though Pakistan have got it in the bag. When there's just one wicket to get through to the bunnies and there's still 90 runs to get

A wicket changes everything of course ,but with two former captains out there hard to believe. Should at least cut off the easy singles.

Great to see Sarfaraz convert one under pressure. Always had a soft spot for the old bloke.

tbf if you don't want to get out on this pitch you can last a very, very long time.

pakistan have saved the game if they continue to not yeet down the pitch like mad lads.

 

[trundler]

Why the **** do they call players customers

Nah it's a highway out there, Bracewell scoring 74 solid proof of that, as well as the last 9 days played on the ground.

Yeah this pitch at Napier would be labelled a disgrace and now Southee is trying to buy time with negative tactics to steal a draw due to his broadcaster declaration.

When the commentators get the word to sook about declarations, add 100-150 runs and that's the real score you want.

 

[Moss]

Get Sodhi back on

 

[subshakerz]

A loss here would be good for Pakistan cricket in the long term. A win will just mask obvious changes that need to be done. A draw is just pathetic.

 

[Meridio]

We're not bowling anywhere near enough deliveries at Salman - haven't been able to keep him on strike at all. They're picking up runs both sides of the wicket, it's pretty poor.
