**Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

[Blocky]

Baz batting like Colombo 2012 (circa Baz 2012 not circa Kane & Ross).

Atrocious. Heaping pressure on his team.

His team should really take into account that it's the first partnership of substance by an opening combination in quite some time and take advantage that they're not 3 for 60 like they usually are. The way he got out was horrible, but his innings got us through the starting spell and got us ahead of the game.

Lost in the swamp of this thread .... Kippax posted the wickets from the Dubai test in the Pak v Aus series, and so many of them seemed cheap wickets (seeing them out of context).

Gee Mike Hesson. Some men just aren't made for Movember. Better off dyeing your hair or something.

Frustrating to see McCullum get out like that after playing so well, but otherwise very happy with that session.

Hmmm, if Taylor got out like that.....

Not a lie, that happened as B Mac got out.

"yeah alright I'll be there in a minute!"

She doesn't know why I was so curt with her. Poor wife.

Was about to post "is something no-one has ever said"

Think it rings more true tbh

Looks like we have decided to play it safe against Rahat Ali

 

[hendrix]

Rahat has been impressive.

 

[straw man]

I can't believe we have a test opener

 

[Grasshopper]

Well played.

 

[hendrix]

Gee that sweep shot is just glorious.

 

[Kippax]

Williamson @ 5.50 to ton up. Thank you. Might as well take that option over top scoring, I mean someone has to ton up right

Just as well. Your tendency to underrate Latham would've lost you dough.

 

[NZTailender]

Can't watch footage atm. How's Latham looking? Uncharacteristic form for an NZ opener.

 

[Kippax]

Much more assured than underdone KW.

Sweep - Be in quick

A reminder on sweeps - you can't pick what has already been taken.

he's looking superb. I would say that, but really he is.

 

[Mike5181]

I don't like these new helmets we've got atm.

 

[Blocky]

Let's see Taylor get above single figures first.

 

[hendrix]

Much more assured than underdone KW.

the fact that Williamson's "control" percentage is 96 and Latham's is 86 is really not a good sign for that ESPN initiative.

 

[NZTailender]

**** I'm loving our side atm. 7 25 or younger players, 2 hitting their 'peak' and 2 at their peak. Throw in Wagner and it's an exciting side to see for the next couple of years.
