Black Caps v Pakistan

@Snowy said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
We lost the toss (again - get it sorted Kane). Pakistan bowling.
Nice day in The Bay it seems.
Santner is in (hmmm).
Rosco most capped NZ cricketer of all time.
Southee and Boult bring up their 100th innings opening the bowling together, and Stuff has them as second on the all time list.
Stuff thinks Anderson and Broad are first, Wasim and Waqar third, then Ambrose and Walsh, and McGrath and Gillespie.

Actual quote from a typically brilliantly crafted Stuff article.
“I feel like I’ve bowled a lot with Timmy, but not that many times,” he says

@Gunner I don't care about cricket. This is the worst time for me on the Fern.
I'm glad that my cricket loving friends and whanau can watch cricket live at McLean Park though, and if it also annoys BoP fans in the process then that's just a bonus.
I can see why BoP fans would be annoyed.
Why should the Northern Districts Invitational XI have to play any games away from Bay Oval?
It's outrageous!

Really good batting from these two, who have batted for pretty much two sessions after coming together at 2 for bugger all.
Batting got easier in that last 30-40 minutes, so here’s hoping they and the middle order can push on and capitalise on the good position they’ve got us into.

Time to put the hurt on them in the final session

Santner is an allrounder.
Test averages of 25 and 44.
Jamieson on the other hand averages:
54 and 14.5.
That's because they're smart enough not to treat him like an allrounder.
He'd be averaging neither of those numbers if he batted at 7 and bowled with a ball 50 overs old before he touched it.
He's a kid concentrating on his core role. His batting is a bonus so far , looks organized, but his run output so far is based on aerial pulls, hooks, and slogs off spinners.

Williamson not out in the 90s overnight for the second time in a row.
He’s really quite good
If he gets out now, I'm requesting a long ban for you.
I’m way too much of a big deal round here, it would never happen

@gt12 said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
To be fair, I missed the 'overnight' part (and I'm mostly watching the Aus/India match) which indicates that you didn't post until after the last ball of the over, so hopefully your jinxing won't work with a 12 hour delay.
I had the courtesy to wait until the days play was over

He's a kid
Not sure that I would call Kyle that. He turns 26 in a couple of days. Inexperienced at test level, sure, but made his first class debut in 2014, was also in the NZ under 19s so been around for a bit.
What I like about him is attitude - he appears to be grumpy (like a fast bowler should be).
It also sounds like he has worked on his technique to get more speed and it seems to have been successful. He was low 130s I think, now seems to be high 130s and even more dangerous.@Rapido said in Black Caps v Pakistan:

Definitely a bonus. His SR is 71 so at least he must be picking the correct balls to have slog at, not just wildly swinging (he's also played some classy shots too). We were looking to up the run rate in a couple of those innings as well so a few big hits were justified.
Weather going to be complete lottery today it seems. Showers, thunderstorms, hail. Usually those events are localised so might miss the ground if we are lucky.
