***Official***Match #35 - New Zealand vs Pakistan - November 4th - Bengaluru

[Athlai]

I think Id take a Sodhi 1/55 - 1/60 at this stage

 

[Flem274*]

That Conway lofted straight punch belongs on the hub.

 

[Athlai]

Kinda funny to hear Smithy criticise Conways form when hes still one of the better batsman in terms of runs in the tournament

 

[Athlai]

Crowds have been really good in the second half of this tournament.

God I hate Modi stadium

 

[King Kane]

Slow start but we are getting going now.

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 will need a big total to help our bowlers with scoreboard pressure, it's not a bowling line up that we can rely on to run through a batting line up.

Do not search "straight punch" on the hub.

I think it speaks to his ability that we're disappointed he doesn't ton up or at least make 50, much like with KW and The Boss (ODIs only).

Pakistan cutting their losses and going with no specialist spinners is probably a good move.

 

[Athlai]

Shah Afridis hair is majestic

 

[Athlai]

523 to be better than Tendulkar? Interesting.

I PMed Moss and told him to bring his vuvuzela.

The density and loving care of a freshly trimmed bowls green

 

[Athlai]

Fmd shot.

 

[Flem274*]

Wellington might just have found their two best ever players within a couple of years of one another.

 

[King Kane]

Doesn't look like there is much in this pitch for the pace bowlers which is good for us.

 

[Athlai]

Lets play a spinner as fast as possible

Bet it smells like freshly cut grass too.

 

[straw man]

I think Id take a Sodhi 1/55 - 1/60 at this stage

almost though I'm not sure it's possible to take 55 wickets in just one innings

 

[Athlai]

Conway clips to first slip down leg. Wide of keeper. Love to see it
