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

[Zinzan]

Indeed, Watling badly needed this knock.

It will be fun to watch the Pakistanis when they discover Henry's our true lower order troll & that Southee was just the warm-up.

Randy Newman opens for Weird Al Yankovic.

 

[BeeGee]

Right in his arc.

 

[BeeGee]

Henry likes this bowling.

 

[Zinzan]

It's not the best numbers 10 & 11 in history, but jeez, compared to the days we had O'Brien & Martin at the end of our innings.

 

[straw man]

Indeed, Watling badly needed this knock.

Was just checking his record and, Zimbabwe aside, it's been slim pickings since his excellent tour of England in May 2015. This is already his third highest score since then, behind 58 and 46 vs Australia in Christchurch.

Pakistan losing it here

 

[Zinzan]

Henry on strike, this should be fun.

[AndyZaltzHair]

Zinzan nailed this

 

[Moss]

Watling's the kind of player who seems to need a solid and free scoring player at the other end while he goes about things. Shouldn't be a surprise that his slim pickings have coincided with the batting becoming brittle since the England tour.

He should really be batting at 5 to be honest, he's being stranded so frequently, he's our best rear guard and when you've got a bunch of hitters around him, he can just do the accumulation role. At 7, he's heavily reliant that either someone from the top order sticks in with him, or the tail gives him enough chance to accumulate.

He would easily make a century out there if he had enough time, the way he's been going.

Agree with this. I'd feel more confident with him striding out than Nicholls, de Grandhomme or Santner.

 

[Blocky]

That ball striking apparatus is not good for NZ Cricket, it will teach the wrong footwork completely.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Shot

 

[vcs]

Good BJ technique there.

 

[BeeGee]

Good BJ technique there.

Soft hands and a firm stroke?

 

[vcs]

Wagner is a pretty good No. 11.

 

[Blocky]

Can we please end talk around Henry being a good bat now? He's equally as brainless as Southee.

 

[Blocky]

Amir should really have 4-58 too
