*Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

[TT Boy]

Won’t be remembered, dead rubber with no significance, but Iftikhar’s six is probably one of the better ways I’ve seen a game finished. The sound and distance of that shot was unbelievable. He looks like a fifty-year-old man or Afghan U19 cricketer as well.

Fleming is ok facially but Southee has a tiny little buck toothed head, not hot at all

Several years ago a female colleague purred that Southee was "very pretty". For her it was a toss up between him and Guptill until she saw Steve Finn who was her "true love".

Steve Finn perpetually looks like a rejected Inbetweeners cast member.

tbh we're getting southee in all formats whether we like it or not until he pulls the pin so it's best to just hope he can play to his talent level which he seems to be doing now.

the carry through to watling/seifert he gets right now compared to this time last year is incomparable.

hopefully he's recovered from whatever bowling issues he was having because 124kph and dying on watling was really worrying me, regardless of the raw wickets numbers he was getting. he looked like bowlers do on their way out.

Just quietly he's probably moved up to our second best T20 fast bowler at the moment, and the first (Ferguson) is injured. Can't really complain about his spot when Bennett and Tickner failed to take their chances, Boult barely plays, and Kugg's misses more than he hits.

Guptill sure as hell ain’t a looker either so maybe she just didn’t have a clue about what makes a ***y man

dude how have the ك س ت ا ن all merged together like that all I'm seeing is ب and ي

it is written in a Calligraphy unknown to me.

Boult does look like one of the actual cast right? Probably more successful with the ladies than the character he resembles I imagine.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Haha Boult and Guptill are both good-looking guys. Guptill looks like a more rugged Canelo Alvarez to me

I'm not sure what's confusing you so here's a breakdown on what they did. The dotted lines are where they merged letters you normally wouldn't but they did it to stylize the logo.

Also, excuse the shitty handwriting.

All I can take from this is that Pakistan is almost spelled like Pepsi

 

[nightprowler10]

I mean obviously they took a few liberties while stylizing it which makes it confusing. I went a few years after becoming a cricket fan thinking it was a light bulb filament for some reason.

That's actually part of MY confusion because it's not close. They're no more similar than they are in english.

Pepsistan

 

[nightprowler10]

Or as our Arab friends would say, Bebsistan.

Boult looks like he'd be a lad bully. He already has the top button done up. It's easy to picture him with adidas gear, high socks and a bum bag.

If he was born in Australia he'd be an eshay for sure, I'm certain of it.

Can totally picture him on the train cranking Kerser full volume on his crappy (probably stolen) phone

Strange mental image tstl

Thanks, i can see it now.

I'm not used to seeing a P as it doesn't exist in the script I'm used to so i thought it was a ب followed by a يا

The way the ك is done was confusing me and then when i saw it in the shirt i didn't see the dot above the ن

Also, Americans have acted weird that I think ‘beer’ and ‘bear’ are the same, yet they think ‘Carry’ and ‘Carey’ are pronounced the same????

Try having the name Brett.

American: What's your name?

Me: Brett.

American: Brit?

Me: No, Brett.

American: Brad?

Me: (Attempts an American accent) Brett.

American: Oh Brent!

Me: Close enough.

Forecast 13 degrees top here in Dunedin today, which is nice as I won't feel at all guilty settling down to follow the cricket here and over the Tasman all day... forecast for Mt Maunganui (double-take, assumed it would be Basin) looks good, maybe some rain day 2, but mostly good through to Wednesday.

Minus Babar, hard to see this Pakistan line-up coping with NZ's seam attack, but will be fun to see Fawad's stance once more... Cricbuzz suggests Haris Sohail at 5 and Faheem Ashraf at 7. That seems like one bowling option too many and one batsman short. Is there a fit 6th batting option in the squad?

What channel is this on in the UK people?
