Black Caps v Pakistan

[Cyclops]

Their two bent performing batsmen of the series together, once they go I reckon the rest will follow in short order.

[rotated]

At Lords with a full attack we surely have to be a chance against either Australia or India.

Big Bad Kyle getting the job done.

Great catch too.

Basically saying "fuck you captain, I want MOTM !"

Kane would argue he has 230 odd reasons to take that himself

9/88* vs 238

If Kyle gets one more then he is the clear MOTM for me. If he stays at 4 then it is close. MOTM awarders are biased towards batsmen.

HOLE-LEY, what a delivery!

Fuck I wish I could be watching (I'm at a chess tournament so can only follow livescoring).

Big late inswinger between bat and pad smashing into the top of leg stump.

That’s his 10 for.

[No Quarter]

He's bowling unplayable deliveries on a pretty regular basis at the moment.

[Godder]

A comment I read on FB was that it appears the Pakistanis prepared well for Southee, Boult and Wagner, but have been caught unawares by Jamieson.

I'm sure Kane would happily trade MOTM for the series sweep

I don’t think the series sweep was ever in doubt really.

[MN5]

MOTM is gonna be tough. Poor old Nicholls won’t even get a look in despite his fine innings.

[Gunner]

@MN5 good problem to have.

[Hooroo]

Assuming we wrap this up, you can't ask much more from this team.

Target was four test wins to have a chance to get to Lords and they look to have done it.

What a special special team.

I'm explaining to my lad that this isn't normal for NZ cricket and to revel in it while we can. Best test team I can remember

I actually get a bit angry when I hear people saying they are waiting for the Black Craps to turn up.

We haven't been rubbish since McCullum and Hesson took over the team. There have been blips but it has been an upwards trajectory the whole way. This helps for the future of NZ cricket too as kids watch their idols at the top of the world!

[Gunner]

Boult channeling his inner Wagner, bowling short stuff from around the wicket to a left handed. Love it.
