Black Caps vs Pakistan Series

Astle gets Sarfraz and this is turning into an absolute hiding.

That Windies team was awful but they also won a test in England recently. We were ruthless.
I can't believe that happened but then again it does explain England's struggles in Oz. The hosts have one all time freak, three or four really good test players and a handful of okish test players. It's not a great Australian team by any stretch.

54/5 but that little Fakhar is hanging around.

Fakhar says fak this and puts a couple over the fence.

Santner taking a bit of a hiding in the last over.
Spinners getting smashed ( relatively speaking )
Probably not smart going with two spinners (although the BCs are still cruising). Another pace bowler, maybe Matt Henry, would have been good in hindsight. Comms are suggesting Munro might get an over or two.

I think overall we are pretty good. We have a chance against anyone at home. Last summer, however, should have told us that we are a fair bit behind South Africa although we weren't embarrassed against them. Overall we are probably about 5th in ODIs and Tests.

I hear he’s not very keen on training. He’s a lazy Fakhar.

@siam how fast has he been chucking them down?

Saw a few clocked at 149km.
I remember Doull talking about the speed ball radar and how it gives three readings. In NZ we take the middle reading, whereas Aus take the fastest. So if this was in Aus they'd be clocking him above 150km.

I think his highest was 153.4 actually. Much better than Milne so hopefully he can become a genuine wicket taking threat rather than just a bowler we select because he is fast.
We already select spinners who can't spin it so fast bowlers don't necessarily have to be really fast.

Black Caps win by 61 runs thanks to the Daffy Duck system.

The Black Caps juggernaut rolls on. Great to see Kane find form, and Southee was superb in his opening spell - sealed the match for us.
Loving the team at the moment - well coached, great culture, some depth and some world class players to boot.
