*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[Immenso]

It’s crazy to me after 10 years and 90 odd first class games Sodhi has never scored a FC 100. I remember his debut season for ND he must’ve scored 3-4 50’s in his first few games. Maybe he gets his first one today…

I watched the boundary highlights of his highestcFC score a year or or 2 ago when he got 90 IIRC. It was genuinely 50% through the slips and gulley.

Hes always looked good in Asia v spin, though. Ever since his debut in Bangladesh. Good sweeps and straight hits.

The 150 partnership between Williamson & Sodhi is just a few runs away.

The record 7th wicket partnership for New Zealand against Pakistan is 186 set by Lees & Hadlee.

Shouldn't they really be having a bash now and give themselves time to get 2/3 wickets tonight?
I'd love to see a Kane 200 and an Ish 100 but really personal milestones should be taking a backseat here.

Can't believe how enthusiastic those Pakistani fans in the crowd are, obviously @trundler isn't one of them.

 

[straw man]

It’s crazy how hard Sodhi is grinding to eke out this lead, knowing full well he’s going to come out and bowl 4 long hops an over and give the runs back 3 times as quick as he scored them

but one of those long hops is the wicket ball

Kane stranded on 199* coming up.

Captain Courageous!

“Ooeerrr….he’s not there to score runs!”

 

[Darwin Award]

Silly from Southee... Williamson might get stranded from his double now.

Pakistan did that before to Sangakkara once.

A winless year at home has nerfed my enthusiasm somewhat

 

[ashley bach]

Bloody good bat that 6thee, if he was a serious captain he'd stick himself at 11.

Kane stranded on 199* coming up.

He'll do well to get that many now

So we decided it was time to ‘go’ and then Sodhi, Southee and Wagner all got out for zero combined runs. Pretty good example of how you don’t just get to decide to score faster.

 

[trundler]

That's the Harbhajan special from Abrar.

Nah Jazzy won't throw it away like the last 2 did. Remember it's still a featherbed.

Can't count Timmy because he only swings and Wagner reverse sweeped, nobody said they need to be mental.

 

[Darwin Award]

Abrar has decided to get to his double-hundred before Williamson.

Williamson has been out before in the 190's too..... against Pakistan some years back.

 

[ashley bach]

One more big hit please Kane.

 

[Athlai]

I'm beginning to suspect this Kane Williamson lad is quite good at cricket
