*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

Saw the back end of it. Next Bradman?

Maybe we should start a thread about him. Williamson and Milne got a thread before they debuted. What's his name?

Didn't catch his name. Thought it was going to one of those lovey dovey stories on tv one's "Closeup" but he is actually pretty good.

 

[Mike5181]

Agree with the commentator that Guptill needs to utilise his wrists to work the ball into the gaps more.

Shot McCullum!

Seemed like a really weird shot though.

 

[NZ Guy]

Agreed kind of looked liked he played it waaay too early

 

[NZTailender]

Ugh, Baz. You were looking so so good.

 

[NZTailender]

Yeah looked as though he was expecting it to be faster than it was, and was trying to hit it more square.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Saw that coming a mile away.

Sky's camera work is pretty average.

 

[straw man]

FFS McCullum you hit the last ball for a six. Average.

 

[NZ Guy]

Can be a catching position to McCullum though.

On deep backward point. Good call

 

[Mike5181]

Still got a score though i guess. 400+ must be the aim for us. Anything under that and we would have failed tbh.

 

[NasserFan207]

Jesus Christ.

I love you Pakistan.

 

[Mike5181]

Taylor has no brains

 

[Prince EWS]

Wahab 'The Jacket' Riaz does something completely and utterly ridiculous, ensuring Ross Taylor is not out.

Not saying a word.

 

[NZTailender]

Didn't realise Taylor has never made a duck. Gun.

 

[NasserFan207]

He hit his own leg with the ball. LMAO.

 

[Mike5181]

Didn't realise Taylor has never made a duck. Gun.

Its a record as well

 

[NZ Guy]

Agh, Im a Guptill fanboy but I have the feeling this isn't going to end well, no intent whatsoever, he doesn't have the game to play an anchor type innings atm if you get what I mean. If he isn't hitting fours, he's blocking, eventually he's going to get a good nut.

Agree - he's played these sorts of ridiculously slow innings once or twice before, but has still gotten himself out around 30. It seems he can bat 20 balls or 90 balls, but will still get out for that magic number.

Hopefully we have reverse upside down back-to-front jinxed him into getting a hundred now.

I think Guptill's the sort of player John Wright could really help with some one-on-one coaching. It's probably too soon to see the results of that just yet, but I reckon he'll get over this getting-out-for-30 problem in time.

Well at the moment he looks like he's been having one-on-one sessions at the Blair Pocock School of blocking out maidens.
