*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[Shady Slim]

They still have Aggro Salmon though

yeah assuming that in any event mir hamza being a pakistani tail ender in the fourth innings would make 0 (9) even coming out where he usually does, worth it to note they have one more ace to play if one of these two falls to the kiwu

 

[Moss]

This is the sort of situation where NZ would earlier have peak Wagner to rely on at one end. Getting quite a few opportunities to find out how to manage in his absence.

Ajaz Patel has still only bowled 4 overs. If he can't get a wicket, either because of a lack of penetration or not being trusted to bowl, he's probably not playing for NZ again for a long time.

 

[Athlai]

Could you try that again but with an animal metaphor

He probably won’t get a bowl as long as this pair is at the crease, easy pickings for Sarfaraz at the moment. will come into play I think if they manage to get into the tail.

But yes, not looking good for him for the home season, especially with Macewell doing just enough in his role.

Pakistan should bat sensibly for another hour then have a real go. This pitch is a highway once you're in.

I was thinking this. Our leadership just don't rate him.

 

[straw man]

Looks like we're all set for an apocalyptic feeding frenzy in the final session where Ish Sodhi is all the sharks.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We somehow need 2 wickets before the new ball.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Impressive partnership

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Prediction. Match ends due to bad light with Pakistan 15 runs from victory and NZ 2 wickets.

Naseem to block out 3 overs and bop 6thee for 6 last ball

 

[thierry henry]

Ajaz has cost us a lot of runs in the field

 

[Athlai]

Cunning strategy this from Macewell. Get Safaraz to tire from smashing him so hard

 

[ataraxia]

I reckon the strategy to get Sarfaraz out is to run him out. Pretend to be relaxed before firing a throw to Latham – Sarfaraz' running has been below minimal at times.

 

[MW1304]

Weird tactics from Pakistan. Sarfaraz probably can't do this on his own, needs Shakeel to contribute.

 

[thierry henry]

DO ME MACEWELL

This was where I ****ed up

 

[Starfighter]

New Zealand preparing to make me royally disappointed here.

 

[Athlai]

Collapse you bastards
