***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2016/17

[indiaholic]

WTF is Watling doing here?

 

[Dick Rockett]

BJ not winning any fans at the moment... probably should've given Southee a crack.

I guess NZ don't have an eye on a declaration tonight then?

Judging on Taylor's acceleration and De Grandhomme, I think they do - I think a lead of 370 (roughly 4 an over for 96 overs) will be the target alongside Taylor getting a ton.

 

[Zinzan]

Agree, I think we'd be better not to give them a any sniff at all, I don't see Pakistan enjoying just batting out for a draw.. For that reason I'd rather 400 off 96 if possible.

Yeah, maybe. Could just be CdG being CdG and Taylor being well set. They're also feeding him a lot of crap to the leg side.

no need to declare tonight. we're 1-0 up. lock the door.

Taylor looking to pre-mediate and hit the cover off of it, that's not a typical thing for him unless he's in ODI mode.

 

[Dick Rockett]

The comms will jinx Taylor the way they're all talking as if a hundy is inevitable.

 

[cnerd123]

Can't wait till people exclude this innings when they wanna talk about how crap Ross Taylor is

 

[Blocky]

Pakistan now in full declaration bowling mode.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

NZ must crack at Pakistan for at least 10 overs tonight *if they want to win*

 

[Blocky]

Can't wait till people include this innings to justify how inconsistent and crap Ross Taylor has been for the past two years.

 

[Zinzan]

Just don't let Smithy anywhere near the com box.

Dunno man, he's played a lot of legit cricket shots without taking many risks. I guess we'll find out what their thinking was after stumps.

 

[Flem274*]

maybe the light has ruled out quicks and that's why pakistan are mucking about?

new ball will always be dangerous in NZ and it's gloomy. wickets will slow nz down which is what pakistan want.

It's been a superb knock, the type of knock you'd want to see from Williamson or Taylor being our senior pros and the type of knock that has been so frustratingly absent from him in the last few years.

 

[Blocky]

Looking at what these part timers are able to extract from this wicket, Santner might be more of a handful tomorrow than anticipated.

 

[Zinzan]

Why so many kiwaaahs; New Zealand are dominating. No way a Misbah-less Pakistan batting lineup is chasing 300+.

Can't wait till people exclude this innings when they wanna talk about how crap Ross Taylor is

Lol @ how you've become almost the biggest ****-stirrer on CW these days. And to think you used to be such a placid nice bloke who'd behave and just like everyone's posts

 

[Flem274*]

doull's narrative of this being all about taylor is so dumb. nz are clearly locking the door here. colin just played like colin.

 

[Mike5181]

Doull is such an idiot.
