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

[BeeGee]

Classic Afridi knock.

This will be our 438 if we can chase it down. Colossal score.

 

[Jono]

This is really **** bowling.

 

[BeeGee]

This is really **** bowling.

It sure was. Anderson nearly tonned up

Dismal effort from the captain also. Way over time with the over rate and getting called for a NB for not having enough fielders inside the circle is very poor. Hopefully this can be put down to inexperience, but his captaincy in this series has been crap.

 

[BeeGee]

Pakistan's impossible run of toss wins pretty much confirms that Islam is the one true faith.

It's good to get that age old question finally answered, at least.

 

[hendrix]

man that chick from the Claim Time Solicitors ad is banging.

 

[hendrix]

anyway, while it was always likely to be an expensive bowling attack, it's nice to test out the batsmen with a big chase.

Absolutely ridiculous that Latham isn't opening.

 

[hendrix]

yeah 2 technically inept openers just doesn't cut it.

 

[hendrix]

Latham and Williamson rotate the strike so easily.

Just tuned in too and NZ still need more than 250 runs from about 30 overs. Tough

yeah but it's nice to get a proper test of a big chase.

 

[BeeGee]

That drop was funny.

Sohail is seriously pissed off and I don't blame him.

 

[BeeGee]

Not a lot to write home about for NZ in this one.

 

[hendrix]

the Latham-Williamson partnership was nice to watch but yeah, not much else doing.

 

[BeeGee]

Great catch by the old fart.

 

[smash84]

this is more like the NZ pak matches that i know

 

[Blain]

That's what happens when you play 3 bowlers. You go for 350+.

****ing stupid idea, especially when they've played the all rounders as specialist batsman for the past 6 months.

 

[Bahnz]

Ouch.

Obviously it's not easy coming straight back from injury, but it's still worrying that Guptill is in such miserable form. At this rate, we're still going to be short 1 decent opener even if McCullum moves back up to the top.

 

[hendrix]

It also leaves us weak at 3.

Honestly KW opening might be an alternative at this stage, Taylor up to 3. Latham would be better at 4 than 5.

Of course, they should just open with him but they've decided against it for unknown reasons.

 

[Hurricane]

A)34(48) too pedestrian chasing 350 plus
B) at least devcich failed. I note they picked him above brownlie in the pecking order
C) Kane again only giving anton one over
