NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[voodoo]

I did not expect that

[MajorRage]

Wow Fair play to Pakistan!

[Damo]

I don't think there is any reason not to have a go for at least a few overs. If we lose 2-3 wickets then we can shut up shop.

[Chris B.]

Pakistan will be a bit concerned if we take 20 off the first over!

Open with Conway and Mitchell?

@voodoo I thought Mitchell has been at slip for last few overs?

Back in last ball. Wasn’t last few balls

But why don’t we have 2 slips in, a short leg, we should be surrounding the bat

Slip gone again last ball!

For Hamza yes, but Shakeel is too good a bat for us to crowd him.

What does that even mean??? Too good for what??? We can’t possibly lose the game, how does it make sense to not attack one very way possible??!!

Shakeel was hitting our bowlers around, so why bring in the fielders around the bat, other than for them to get smashed at? The bowling wasn’t good enough plain and simple.

Bracewell to open. Hahahahahaha

[ACT Crusader]

Done for bounce (lack of). Bracewell gone

Journeyman at best. Bracewell is simply not international class

[Damo]

I have to say this is pretty stupid from Pakistan.

It's very, very unlikely we will get these runs, but it's not impossible.

Pakistan getting 10 wickets on the other hand is vanishingly unlikely.

I think it’s great from Pakistan ,Test Cricket needs brave decelerations,Awesome for the game.
And great from NZ they are taking it on great watching.

What if they lose, with no real possibility of winning?

Still brave and great for Cricket.

[Chris]

Latham is going brilliantly picking his hitting areas very well.
Should have never opened with Bracewell he wasted 5 balls.

[MajorRage]

Looks like light is going to win this one.

[Chris]

Shame it was shaping up as a very interesting finish.

[ACT Crusader]

Oh well, we had a go.

Pakistan batsmen (lower order) saved the match after our big innings.

They all seem to love Kane!

[ACT Crusader]

@Chris I would’ve opened with Latham and Conway and then bought in Mitchell at 3.

Ish did great, but the rest just couldn't eke out the tail fast enough

[antipodean]

Pakistan batted the second innings to avoid a loss. Which meant not enough time to realise a result.
