**Official** Pakistan in New Zealand (3 tests)

[Meridio]

Crowe comparing a few shots from Tuffey there to Lawrence Rowe and then Greg Chappell. Think that's being a bit harsh, would have gone Sobers or possibly Bradman myself.

"I think you guys found a number three!"

I love Waqar.

Heh sounds like the umpires have been legendarily awful in this game.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah don't want to see him wasted against Bangladesh.

Maybe we should use Bangladesh games to play our A side.

Dunno about playing a NZ A side as our top order still needs every bit of practice they can, but yup, definitely keep Bond on ice until the 1st Test against Australia

Magnificently so

Even though Tuffey has played some nice shots - that last catch should have been taken. He has also had some scary moments against Kaneria - I don't think he deserves a century.

Tuffey having a bit of trouble against the Doosra and the quicker one. Gun innings though, would be awesome if he made a century.

Neither did Imran Farhat.

 

[Jarquis]

I really don't understand NZ, why on earth do you persist with playing all your batsmen at #8?

Rest Taylor and Vettori maybe?

 

[Zinzan]

Meh, that's cricket, players often miss out on hundreds when they fully deserve it & vice versa

 

[Zinzan]

Rest Taylor and Vettori maybe?

No reason to unless either them have niggles or injury concerns.

Definitely a chance to try out a couple of other top order batsmen though

Any update on Ryder's likely return?

 

[Howsie]

Anyone popped onto PakPassion lately

Never heard of it, presumably a cricket site yeah?

 

[DingDong]

Can we win against aus with this team?? imo we can.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah for Pakistan fans. The match thread right now is a pretty good read.

What's happened with Tuffey?
Tuffey.

Tuffeh.

Nothing new, just haven't been posting while I've watched the morning session. Feel it sums it up nicely.

 

[Athlai]

Playing an A team vs. Bangers could lead to major embarrassment. Play everyone bar Bond.
