Pakistan vs New Zealand at Sharjah: Matchday thread; Tue 26/10 Late Game

[Moss]

Kane just reminding us what he really thinks about spin those last couple of deliveries!

Rare to see him so tied down otherwise by the slower bowlers. Clearly not a hundred percent.

One handed sixes are a thing now huh

Late but I think I'll jump onto the Conway bandwagon. Guy looks like he was made to thrive at this level.

I remember when I was a lad going to matches at the MCG, a single six being hit was the most memorable part of the day and by no means guaranteed.

Brave new world.

Why on earth were you late? He's a freak.

Genius run out from Pakistan

Pakistan have picked up the intensity in this match.

 

[Arachnodouche]

This is Pakistan's trophy to lose isn't it? Been ages since I've seen them this keyed in.

Pakistan have picked up the intensity in this match.

they've been inspired so far. First to break the streak vs India, and now to 'avenge' NZ pulling out of the tour, which is the dumbest thing but whatever works for them I suppose

Would be hilarious if they did the opposite of 1992 and look dominant early stages only to fade away by the end

they also seem to be one of the few countries to pick a squad full of proven T20 performers. NZ have too tbf but Pakistan's team just seems stronger.

They're just a stupid run out away from capitulating...call it the butterfly effect or whatever.

 

[Aritro]

They're basically playing at home which helps. Possibly favourites, although it's too early to form an opinion of any worth tbh

 

[Moss]

Big effort needed in these last 5, about 50-60 to be par? this innings has never really got going. Seeing Hasan and Rauf’s efforts, NZ may miss Ferguson big time.

 

[thierry henry]

We just haven’t really looked like it at all. I’m not confident of anyone getting going at the death.

 

[Aritro]

I wish they'd had those lights on the stumps when I was a kid. It would have made me more interested in cricket.

 

[Arachnodouche]

They bowl challenging lengths tbf. Very little in the arc or short enough to pull.

 

[thierry henry]

What happens for poor over rate? We win?
