Black Caps v Pakistan

@ACT-Crusader said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
Brilliant from Mitchell. Made the ground, slide on the right angle, save the boundary and then a good throw.
Not just about the runs saved either, between that effort and the direct hit earlier (not him and not out), it puts the batsmen in 2 minds when they're thinking about taking on an arm and the like
-
Wonderful hitting from Pakistan. Have timed it really well tonight.
-
Hardly any variation. Southee aside, very few slow balls have been bowled.

Yea which is bloody strange.
Phillips pointed it out in his post innings interview that their tactic would be to bowl a lot of slower balls.
It was obvious to every man and his blind dog but they just haven’t done it.
-
That's a weird delivery from Neesham with that field.
-
Neesham into the attack. Uh oh.
-
We got this
😎
-
Apparently "its a crucial time".
Wild.
-
Mitchell even taking catches off throws from the crowd.
-
How strange to see another ball sailing over the square leg boundary.
Aside from Southee the bowling has been so far below par tonight it’s not funny.

@Gunner You also have to credit the hitting.
Rizwan on for the ton [jinx alert]
😀
-
So sloppy. The overthrow, the wide. Amateur hour

@KiwiMurph said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
@voodoo game is over by now anyway
Yeah. To your point on hitting, that was a great shot off a not-too-bad delivery

Boult has dished up some pies tonight.

The margin of error at McLean Park is so small given the short boundary. Pressure on the bowlers to get it right or it usually goes the distance.

You’ve gotta love a batter that goes for a golden, as he’s walking off gives advice to the new batsman 😎

"Get the other guy on strike"?
-
This is like a reversal of the last game where the chasing team stumbles a little at the end but does it easy really.
-
Rizwan that is terrible.
-
We.
Got.
This.
-
4 of your best please Mr Jamieson
-
They didn't cross again???
-
-
Biggest hit of the night.
-
Pakistan deserved winners.
-
Bugger

Another short ball when 90% of them have been dispatched to the boundary.
-
A scorecard that makes the game look closer than it was for much of it.

Definition of insanity?
-
Can only assume the pitch evened out and got quicker with a bit of dew after the sun buggered off?
What other explanation is there to the lack of slower balls or variations, especially after Phillips made a point of it in his interview.
Ah well, bring on Boxing Day and the real cricket.

Yeah, I thought we'd defend that fairly easily.
Good thing I don't bet on sports eh

Comms said as much, backed up in an on field in game interview with one of the BCs. The pitch lost all it's variable bounce

I was so, so tempted to put a wee bet on Pakistan after your massive jinx-y comment, but was just too damned lazy.

I set it up for you, but you didn't take the bait?
We did not bowl well. They cruised it in the end
-
why do we still use McLean Park for anything? not fit for purpose.
