Black Caps vs Pakistan Series

[Chris B.]

@gunner Even without that catch, seeing the line-up we've chosen, Bruce has been picked in a pivotal position and needs to show he's got something - otherwise Henry Nicholls.

[Donsteppa]

Great start if it was an ODI.

[Donsteppa]

... que the panicked running

[Gunner]

Under pressure already, only 10 from the first 2 overs.

Guptill needs to have a go and be the aggressor, no good having two noodlers out there.

[Gunner]

I don’t have a good feeling about this, we’re really battling for every run.

[Donsteppa]

Much better from Guppy. Kane still looks relatively scratchy by his standards

[Virgil]

Thank fuck for that, aweful dismissal fitting of an aweful innings

[Donsteppa]

Scoring rate might improve now

[Gunner]

We need to do something to throw these Paki bowlers off their plan...

Guptill down the wicket.... something, anything.

Kitchen has timed a couple early on - let’s hope he keeps that going.

[Gunner]

Yes boy, that’s the Guptill we know and love!

More please.

[Virgil]

Gotta say it’s been a poor summer for Kane. Despite an amazing run of wins, it’s not been due to him.
A couple of good innings surrounded by some very average ones.

When you see Smith and Kohli killing it at home it’s disappointing what Kane has done.

[Donsteppa]

That six was fucking huge!

[No Quarter]

Decent start, was important we didn't lose a clump of early wickets.

And Guppy loses the ball, 6 and out.

[Virgil]

That ball is gooonneee

[No Quarter]

Need to accelerate but Kitchen is batting.

[Gunner]

5 off the last 10 balls.....

[No Quarter]

And he keeps the strike. Grrr, needs to hit out or get out.

[Virgil]

Kitchen keeping the strike..

[Virgil]

Don’t run 2!!

[Gunner]

Awful batting, FFS
