*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[Howe_zat]

NZ win is still out at 2.87 which underrates them imo. I know the pitch is a pancake but Pakistan made it look worse by missing what appears to be at least 4 good chances.

If Pakistan bat 3 sessions it's still only going ot be a lead of 120ish, so not enough, and they could easily just fall over here.

Gun knock from Kane. Good to see him in his stride.

Not confident we can take 10 wickets here but hey, worth a go. This attack isn't even what it will look like on paper in 10 years. Need 5fers from Southee and Ajaz.

 

[Flem274*]

Is it too much to ask for them to come charging down the pitch like mad lads again?

Those 4 brain explosions on day 1 are like 90% of the reason we have a result possible. Pakistan should still be batting.

Colin's world is great.

In reality, 2 runs for no wicket off the last 4 overs.

dunno why Brendon McCullum is calling himself 'Colin' now

Munners or CDGball

Dust bowl

 

[Athlai]

Genuinely surprised Southee isn't bowling himself one more over

 

[wellAlbidarned]

"pakistan's no1 battery" is a quality 'weird flex but ok'

 

[Athlai]

Oh baby

 

[straw man]

There's certainly help for the spinners in that rough (esp for Ajaz), but we're not hitting it quite frequently enough which is partly because Pak batsmen are using their feet (despite first innings failures) and punishing anything off-target.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

yeah Kimber made the point in his analysis of Ajaz's 10-fer that he's not actually that accurate, despite apparently fitting the stereotype of accurate minimalist finger-spinner.

 

[straw man]

Yes that's what I meant to say in a roundabout way - I'm expecting Ajaz to hit the rough more often than he currently is. Didn't know there was an analysis of the 10-fer saying that though.

Ok what just happened? Never in my wildest dreams would imagine NZ declaring at a 600+ score in the subcontinent.

 

[straw man]

excellent intent

Also the 3rd test in the UAE (well, effectively the subcontinent for this purpose) in 2014, NZ scored 690 from memory though can’t recall if it was a declaration.

Think that may have been the match where Mark Richardson went down screaming with cramp.

One more wicket before stumps would be good, two more would be gold.
