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

[hendrix]

yeah declare very soon.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Good innings by Craig but he can get out if he does nothing in the next innings.

 

[Athlai]

reckon they're looking at 250?

I reckon they're looking at having 8 overs at them before lunch.

 

[Hurricane]

tailor made situation for his Southeeness

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Put Tim Southee in.

 

[Athlai]

Come on Smashthee, one time.

 

[BeeGee]

Time to declare for me.

Not yet. Let Southee smoke a couple into the stands first.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Good bit of bowling that.

 

[Daemon]

If Hafeez and Shehzad were playing I think they could still chase this. Don't think the new guys will be able to get them off to a good start. Will probably get out early then Ali and Younis will shut up shop.

 

[Grasshopper]

Bugger. Well bowled.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

8 down, 75 overs left and a leggie just got a five-for. It's so on.

 

[Zinzan]

Wasted dismissal that, should have declared when Craig was out rather than wasting time with the drinks break.

 

[Hurricane]

Watching Sodhi walk out to bat in a non hurried fashion - I am reminded of when I was captain of my 1st XI and was deciding whether to declare and number 11 started sauntering towards the crease and he was taking so long to get out there that I just declared and he had to turn around and walk the other way.

 

[Athlai]

Danny Morrison describing Southee as "sensible"

 

[Neil Young]

Southee still batting ahead of Sodhi stinks of some clique. He's done nothing to warrant it. He barely deserves to bat above Boult.

 

[Blocky]

Great tonne - but what would we give to have a Babar or a Shah in our side.

 

[Athlai]

shambles

 

[vandem]

Not sure if Craig trying to hit over the field made sense. Think NZ needs a 280+ lead to avoid defeat. Better for Craig to have kept the ball on the ground and let Ross bring out the slog-sweep.

 

[Daemon]

Southee

 

[Athlai]

Smashthee!
