I wonder which of the players left out (Neesham, Ferguson, Jamieson) were not considered due to injury or having just arrived, and which were just left out.

Our batting looks stronger with Williamson back for Young and Chapman back for Neesham but our bowling line up is a worry with just the two quicks.

We better hope this is more of a spinners pitch than a pace bowlers pitch as Pakistan's pace bowling attack looks a lot stronger than ours.

Hasan Ali in for Usama Mir is a big boost for them and a blow for us, the lollipop man is a bowler our batsmen could have targeted for some easy runs.

Conway is due for some runs, we could do with a good score from him today to set a platform for us.

Always find figures like 4000 runs weird milestones. 1000? Sure. After that I've always felt like batsman compare themselves to the tallies of their peers.

Bowlers do every now and then talk about the 100 200 300 400 wicket clubs tho

Playing Ish against Pakistan of all teams is not a great move IMO. They have an excellent record against him. (hopefully the pitch takes spin)

So NZ is basically down to
2 great bowers in Boult & Santner.
2 Avg bowers in Southee & Sodhi
and a bunch of part-timers.

Not good. Seems no total is safe.

We've cunningly brought in a t20 specialist for a rain affected 2nd innings.
