No pressure Corey, but you need 80+

Corey out as well.. Is that spinners knocking over our boys or faster men? The desk is supposed to be flat.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Can we get 50?

Good game for Rachin to miss

By the time I finished my last message another is gone. What's going on? I know our lads have literally no match practice but flurry of wickets.

Seifert with 3 4s

Looks like could have been 7 down.

7.3
4
Raza Hasan to Seifert, FOUR runs, flighted up, goes for a drive but gets an egde and it goes through the hands of the slip fielder for another boundary, makes it 3 in a row for him

Meanwhile across in Sharjah Devcich has just got 77 off 46 in the Afghanistan T20 comp.

Looks like the boys struggled to adjust to the slowness of the pitch? Some average shots but they'll come good. It's only the first game. Bowling seems to be in good order.

NZA currently 87/0 chasing 143 to win. Quite a contrast from the last game!

edit: here's the livestream if anybody wants it / wants to rewatch tomorrow when normal people are awake

Thanks to Strawman watched fair bit of it live. Ajaz is going strength to strength. I fell Astle will be preferred as they think he can wield the bat a bit. I think Ajaz deserves to play the T20s. We were going really well until Phillips, Worker and Anderson were out within space of few balls. Pakistan bowlers bowled really well and it was quite a struggle for Chapman and Brue to get there in the end. If Pakistan had 10 extra runs they would have sealed the game. Very impressed by Pakistan faster bowlers, they were fantastic the last 6-7 overs.

was kaetor's link for the cricket tbf, mine was Ish Ish Sodhi

I did flick on the stream briefly and saw Tastle bowl a lovely full toss for an lbw - never change Todd. Seems like a good allround bowling performance, from what little you can tell from the figures in a T20. Wouldn't have known the batsmen struggled to get over the line at the end - scoreline makes it look like an easy win. Wish Chapman would find some form. Phillips must have moved well ahead of him now in line for T20/ODI spots.
