*Official* T20 Tri-Series in NZ (NZ, Pakistan, Bangladesh)

[RossTaylorsBox]

These random tournaments with a game every day are way better than random bilaterals with 3 days in between.

 

[_Ed_]

167-4 in 18.3 overs has turned into 170-6 from 19.5.

 

[straw man]

Bangladesh still going to snatch a consolation win?

 

[_Ed_]

Interestingly poised now, after those two quick wickets.

 

[trundler]

Nawaz giveth, Nawaz taketh away.

 

[ataraxia]

cmon, choke this

Games every day or every other day is also possible with bilaterals, just not when you want the cricket caravan to move across the whole country during a 3 match series.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Just book four or five series at different grounds during the year, make it like a World Series thing.

The biggest entertainment in my mundane life these days is reading Babar-Rizwan haters having a meltdown on Pakpassion everytime they perform.

Babar and Rizwan T20i opening Combo: when will the torture end?

I’m honestly sick and tired of it! I could care less about the numbers and wins against below par teams or B string sides! I’m just sick and tired of the brand of cricket we are playing!

The openers are playing the most boring cricket from a T20 world perspective and are rightly not rated as two of the best T20 players regardless of their rankings. This rubbish/conservative approach trickles down into the remaining players who have to play out of their skins in order to salvage something from the game!

Just sick and tired now. Everyone in Pakistan can be rotated but this duo which is shoved down our throats is never ever

 

[Athlai]

Tuk Tuk cricket at its finest amirite

There's anti-Babar and Rizwan people in Pakistan? One guy averaging 44 and one averaging 52? That's torturous? Wow. Fans can be wild. Pakistan would've likely won the last T20 World Cup if their bowlers and fielders hadn't bottled it.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lol who do they want as replacements

 

[SteveNZ]

Probably Shahid Afridi. His strike rate was 150 while Babar's and Rizwan's are a glacial 130.

Never mind Afridi averaged 17, and had a highest score of 54 from 99 matches....

 

[straw man]

Missed the preamble today. What does the coveted Banglawash Cup that we are competing for today look like and how does it compare to the Oye Hoye Trophy?

 

[straw man]

So Allen is in the mood today - been a little more circumspect early in the other matches this series. Today just boundaries.

Aha, and gave away the wicket. Not overly surprising.

 

[straw man]

KW 16(6) - 'yeah this is how I bat every day, what'

Even when he does 'fail' like today, I still feel like there's a lot of merit in the way he shows a willingness to do that and set a tone for us, as well as bully the opposition attacks and not be bowled at. Used to happen far too much

KW 16(6) - 'yeah this is how I bat every day, what'

lol so basically this means he can only play in the final
