Black Caps vs Pakistan Series

[Tim]

How often do you think Warnie quoted lines from Austin Powers when he was rooting Elizabeth Hurley?

Nothing's changed. We would need to be at our peak best performance and would still require one of the big boys like oz to have a bad day

Concur. I still think the '03 and '07 teams were better if just because Bond was marginally more reliable as a wicket taker than Boult (when fit) & Vettori has not been replaced as an economic metronome - plus we batted much deeper.

We still remain a get to the semi final and see what happens team.

[Crucial]

Gee Boult is a little frustrating at times isn't he? Seems to either get unreal results or no result.

Bond was way better than Boult is.

[Gunner]

We’re batting, off to a fast start.
Munro just gone for 34.

52/1 from 6 overs.

[No Quarter]

Pass mark for Munro, has generated a run rate to allow Guppy and Kane to get themselves in.

[Cyclops]

Is it just me or has Kane seemed a little out of sorts this series?

[Cyclops]

That's possibly a silly question since he's made a ton and a 50 in this series, but his last two innings he seems to be struggling to score.

[Gunner]

@cyclops he’s not hitting gaps as easily as he usually does that’s for sure.

[KiwiPie]

28 runs for KW to reach his 5000 in ODIs.

Happy New Year everyone!

[Gunner]

Great platform here.

An even 100/1 off 17 at drinks.

Love the role they’ve given Munro, takes the pressure right off the others and gives them time to get in.

[Gunner]

What a fucking shitty and un-Williamson like dismissal.

He's held to some pretty fucken high standards compared to the others, even Taylor who also has a fantastic ODI record.

[MN5]

Without wanting to jinx anything I must say that even though we've lost our best hitter and best batsman I feel extremely confident with these two at the crease.

Fucken loving the BCs at the moment.

[MN5]

Not much interest on this thread considering how well we're doing.

191/2 with 12 to go. 300 plus on the cards easily with some of the hitters we have.

If these guys are still there with 5 to go I'd definitely promote CDGH.

I see what you've done there. As you were.

[Mokey]

Ack. Guptill makes 100 then out straight away. CDG in. Taylor gets his 50.

Time to accelerate, boys.

I picked it beautifully. Go CDGH!!!

[Mokey]

GAH. Nicholls out for 1, just after Taylor gets bowled. Hate these mini collapses.
