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

[Athlai]

Henry averaging under 10 with the ball. McClenenen getting nervous.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, me too actually, think it kissed the glove and then the forearm on the way through. Definitely not enough to overturn the original decision.

Henry's record is looking pretty ridiculous now. Bet he's gunning for Mitch's record for number of matches to 50 wickets, especially with a couple of matches against minnows lined up in the World Cup.

 

[ajdude]

that shot of all those smiling happy men aggressively yelling PAKISTAN ZINDABAD at the camera will forever give me nightmares

 

[Zinzan]

Will be disappointed if we don't see a few good yorkers at the death here from Milne. It was what was lacking in the last game.

 

[Bahnz]

Phew, that was starting to get out of hand.

 

[Zinzan]

Ah Brownless misjudged it.


Much better bouncer that time from Milne.

 

[Bahnz]

Ugh, I know he hasn't had much luck with his fielders today, but I hope Milne wasn't telling Afridi to "**** off" just then.

 

[vic_orthdox]

A quality "F Off" from Milne after the wicket too.

 

[Zinzan]

Zinzan 258
Athlai 267
Bahnz 284

^ Quietly confident fellas

 

[Bahnz]

Time for the yorker now Adam.

 

[Bahnz]

Milne putting paid to Blocky's claims that he lacks stamina today. Still pushing the 150 mark even after 9 overs slogging in under the desert sun.

 

[Zinzan]

I find Henry's bowling very Australian for some reason & I think it's more than just the fact he's reasonably quick & really good.

 

[Bahnz]

Deserved that did Milne, he's had pretty rotten luck today.

 

[Bahnz]

Well done Zinzan, I'm off to bed. Hoping to see us continue our series levelling streak tomorrow.

 

[Zinzan]

Cheers, bit of dew would be handy.

 

[BeeGee]

This has to be exciting times for a NZ supporter. Two quality international attacks could be formed out of the current bowling options they have.

Indeed.

Slow pitches:
Neesham, NcCullum, Mills, McClenaghan, Boult

Fast pitches:
Anderson, Vettori, Southee, Milne, Henry

I'm absolutely loving the number of options we have and being able to run bowling trials in the games leading up to the WC. This is a completely unique situation in the nearly 40 years that I've been watching NZ cricket.

 

[anil1405]

NZ in the middle of self destruction mode.

 

[smash84]

I thought NZ would coast to 253....what happened?

 

[test cricketer]

Kane williamson next martin crowe and perhaps first newzealander to average fifty in tests i think he has the potential to do so

 

[anil1405]

Good knock from Ronchi.
