*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Xuhaib]

some dire commentary from Doull it looked out from all angles he's one of the worst commentators I have ever had a chance to listen too.

 

[_Ed_]

Styris is still looking really ordinary.

 

[straw man]

Had a feeling when Guptill and How were hitting out at the start that the wheels would fall off

We used to be really good at chasing big scores, and consistent consolidation scoring lots of singles through the middle phases was I think key to that. These two are key and I don't mind that they've started slowly, provided they both start ticking over 5 singles per over fairly soon. I wonder who they'll send in next if a wicket falls - would be tempted to save McCullum and go for either Oram or Woodcock.

 

[_Ed_]

FFS Pig, that would have been a wide.

Hope he middles one soon and starts playing better.

 

[Bahnz]

Akmal.

 

[Smudge]

Taylor not so successful when NZ bat second, it seems...

 

[Bahnz]

Lots to like about this innings from Williamson so far. Consolidation followed by good strike rotation.

 

[M0rphin3]

Styro's looked terrible today.

 

[salman85]

Shahzad is exactly the type of bowler you can hit out of the park pretty often.This just doesnt seem to be New Zealand's day.

 

[salman85]

And that should have been a catch.

 

[_Ed_]

Horrific running. Shouldn't happen when you've had a partnership of 80!

 

[Craig]

What a waste of an innings by Styris. Just lol'd about and looked rather stratchy.

 

[salman85]

And that will be the match for Pakistan.Good catch by Umar.

I agree that Pakistan are definately favourites, but you do realise that McCullum and Oram are still to come?

Chickens. Hatched?

I do.But pushing doing McCullum down in the order is a mistake.He is far more dangerous as an opener.

Chickens. Hatched?

Almost

 

[NZ Guy]

Although I do like McCullum up the order he was very adapt at finishing the innings.

Ops dropped

 

[NZ Guy]

Btw Williamson is doing himself big selection favours at five imo, only been half watching but has he not looked the best at nurdling the spin?

Certainly looked far better than Styris during their partnership.
