*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[KungFu_Kallis]

Just checked the scorecard. Master spinner Bracewell given 14 overs. Sodhi, even after his performance in the last Test, 4 overs. Hmmm. I can see why they made Southee captain.

 

[_Ed_]

Sodhi was definitely under-bowled, but to be fair, there were a few overs there where Bracewell was actually looking threatening.

 

[straw man]

Surprised Imam has come out to bat this morning, thought he'd be in the hospital after Babar gave him a broken ****n leg.

Doull trying to comment on NZ domestic cricket lol

 

[straw man]

"There's some guy named Shipley coming over but lolz don't know if he's 140+ or not" for a bowler you would know is not 140+ after one video clip.

At least Chris Harris has some familiarity apparently.

He was ready for it so it's okay.

 

[straw man]

Henry pace slipped down to 132-133 so far this morning. Getting more reverse than I expected from him though.

 

[_Ed_]

Pretty average first half-hour for us today.

 

[straw man]

Not sure why Southee opted to start with Macewell. Probably because two left-handers, but it's not working.

 

[straw man]

Shakeel must be terrified. There's enough venom in Sodhi's top left canine tooth to destroy all life on this planet and Shakeel is a mere 22 yards away in his sights.

Does Sodhi suck again

 

[_Ed_]

We really needed that.

 

[Athlai]

Beauty

WTF a successful Southee review

Reward for persistent bowling in that area to both batsmen with a little nip both ways, by Henry and Southee.

 

[Athlai]

One thing I like about low attendance Tests is that when there is a review, we don't hear a crowd reaction, we audibly just hear the players react

 

[straw man]

Does Sodhi suck again

Only in the way a baleen whale sucks down a mouthful of krill.

 

[_Ed_]

Man, that was a beauty from Sodhi.

 

[Athlai]

Is Sodhi good again

 

[_Ed_]

Looking much better to the right-hander.

The Pakistani commentators are annoyingly obsessed with all the bounce the tall Sodhi will get, and he’s not even the tallest of our 3 spinners #heightchat
