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

[Athlai]

Amir's capable but we should really run through these guys in this session now.

Amir is a good 10 and passable 9. This is one of the worst tails in the world surely.

 

[_Ed_]

A regular in 90% of the NZ sides I've come across in international cricket captain.

Haha, yes. He and Munro are legendary.

Which version?

Henry and Milne are leading wicket takers for my 2015 version

New Zealand v Pakistan, or How I stopped worrying and learned to love Hesson's whacky selections.

 

[Blocky]

Just a completely nonsense over from Southee bowling at a tail ender. He didn't even have to play at anything.

I'd call a spade a spade if I didn't have flashbacks of Jerome Taylor and Harbhajan Singh every time a bowler gets into double figures.

Meanwhile De Grandhomme bowling at Misbah, gets it to leave the bat, hits the splice of the bat, makes him play 4 out of 6 of the balls.

[Blocky]

Now he's bowling better... but I just get the sense there's not a lot of brain power up in the melon of Southee... he's dumb as **** with the bat and seemingly dumb as **** with the ball.

Was about to post this. Wasn't he batting 11 or something for them in England?

Holy **** forgot about this one

Played the most crucial role in the 4th test supporting YK which ultimately sealed the game. It's a toss up between him and Yasir Shah on who is the best number 8.

There was no need to remove shafiq fom #3. Babar Azam and he should be swapping.

Is Wahab injured or just not picked?

No idea. Got a 5fer in his last game but I think they have a horses for courses approach now and felt Rahat was more suitable for the conditions.

Expect Wahab to play all 3 tests in Australia


But yeah Babar at 3 and pushing Shafiq back is pissing me of big time..more than the batting display today

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

****ing Sohail Khan in the team again.

 

[Black_Warrior]

^ I told you he was not going to get dropped.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Arthur likes him despite his fitness and the word is that he has done some work in that regard under Arthur's supervision

If he's not injured, I see no reaon to play him. Absolutely terrible decision. I mean Rahat can swing it better than Wahab with the new ball but you lose the X factor. The bowling attack is looking timid tbh.

 

[Rootfan]

Pakistan's bowling is probably the worst of the top 5-6 test nations at the moment. NZ need a big first innings somehow.
