*Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

Maybe I'm seeing things... I could've sworn that ball to Blundell touched the edge.

 

[Bahnz]

These are exactly the kinds of conditions where Lord Colin took 6/40. Given Abbas is basically a superior version of Colin, this is going to be seriously tough for Blundell.

 

[Pothas]

Abbas is just so fun. Not a bowler around that can make batting look more difficult.

 

[Gnske]

Rizwan seems to be having trouble throwing the ball on the full.

 

[trundler]

Does not look like a fun time to bat but Abbas could be tighter (that's what he said?)

 

[Gnske]

A keeper that can't tell the difference between bat and thigh pad is truly a waste of oxygen.

 

[nightprowler10]

Sigh

 

[trundler]

That was rather daft. Could hear Azhar Ali saying "it's a big player, chance it" in the background.

 

[trundler]

Draws a nick. Good stuff. Soft hands save him though. C'mon lad.

When you get the extra review it makes you take a chance earlier on a big player. Seems daft though to waste it.

So that’s what “Yai bada player” means

 

[Gnske]

Sad. Blundell really tried his best there but he's no opener. Get BJ to do it.

Also how much on Ross lasting long here?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

That seemed like it was coming for quite a while ... not sure why Blundell is opening, he's not really equipped to succeed in these conditions.

 

[trundler]

The love affair of Pakistani bowlers and NZ continues.

The man already carries the burden of being the second coming of Christ. What more do you want from him?

 

[straw man]

Just like the Latham one, Afridi got the length just a little fuller there, was just right.

I had been thinking Blundell, with a little luck, was working his way through the opening period reasonably well up till then. Still looks like a substitute opener but such is life.

 

[straw man]

Congrats Taylor.

On for a swashbuckling 28(35) here.

 

[Meridio]

Can confirm Bay Oval is a Nice Place to Watch Cricket.

These could be the kind of conditions for a slashing Taylor 100.

Will take it if Williamson decides to get out to Abbas

 

[trundler]

Pretty good ball, that.
