Cricket - NZ vs Pakistan

[Number 10]

O-for-Awesome!

[No Quarter]

That was fucking awesome. Boy did I need that after Sunday. You absolute legends, I really didn't expect a test win on this tour.

[Bovidae]

What a debut from Patel!

Don't you just love test cricket.

[Cyclops]

When was the last time we genuinely had a spinner bowl us to victory in the final innings?

[voodoo]

I thought we were screwing that royally into a slow death, shows what I know!

[NTA]

Watching that on the Cricinfo commentary. Tense stuff!

[voodoo]

Always have preferred cricket over rugby
..😜

[Donsteppa]

YEAH BABY!!!

Sir Ajaz Patel now with a test average of 17.57.

[Chris B.]

Woo hoo! Just when I was thinking they were going to make it.

Shades of revenge for Coney and Chats, but they don't make it to the line!

[canefan]

I turned over 5 down with 22 to win. Lucky I was monitoring the fern and came back to see the last 3 wickets cheers boys!

[Donsteppa]

Loved Danny's interview with Patel

[Cyclops]

Feel for Azhar Ali though. Did everything he could while they selfdestructed at the other end.

But whata come back. This team has heart.

Finished the interview with "go hard and give it plenty". He's certainly a unique character.

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Loved that speech from Patel, you can tell he is a very proud Kiwi.

I think he left his run too late, they got really negative and their luck ran out

[Mokey]

Gees that last wicket from Patel couldn't have been more plum. What an implosion from Pakistan. 40-odd runs needed, 7 wickets in hand...and they lost.

[Siam]

Classic Black Caps. Great win after posting the lowest 1st innings total at that venue ever.

Took a fair old jaffa too!

Ali quite conceivably could have continued milking till 3 to get and force Kanes hand.

Good start for Stead

Oh, and that spin vision camera being slightly offskew during the review didn't help the heart any...

[MN5]

Wake up for a piss and see this.....God bless.

The ghosts of Mark Craig/Jeetan Patel are laid to rest forever....

[Gunner]

@no-quarter unfreakingbelievable!
Went to bed at lunch.... as much as I hoped, I DID NOT expect us to get the job done.

it's the heroic optimism of Black Caps fans that keeps us young.

What the fark does that guy know - clearly we were a lock to win
