@MajorRage said in NZ v Pakistan:
Have you guys got the same coverage as us? Its like something out of the 70's.
Yeah. I particularly like the Sensodyne moments with four unfortunate fans plucked from obscurity to consume hot and cold food and drink while looking very uncomfortable.

Or the Tea break ... or the experts view brought to you by ....
It's great to have games back in Pakistan, although it does almost feel like it's more important to us than to the locals. Can't remember the crowds for the England games, were they decent or just as appalling anybody know?

I remember hearing noise from the Barmy Army

Scanning the crowd for tits is probably easier in Australia than it is in Pakistan so we have to settle for that.
These guys are closing in on 100 for the last wicket. Ridiculously good.

Double edged sword these last wicket partnerships. Also shows that it's not that difficult to bat on.
Why did Boult make himself unavailable anybody know? Disappointing to see him bowling in the BBL.
Money and lifestyle?

Technically, he is available but choose to accept a contract in the UAE over an NZC contract (Big Bash contract came after that) so he is less likely to get selected for the national team. He is still keen to play in the world cup later this year and there is a good chance he will get selected in that squad.

@Chris-B said in NZ v Pakistan:
@MN5 We've yet to assess his bowling.
He needs five runs to exceed his batting vs SA!
Henry with his Action is more likely to get any reverse swing,where Wags was average last test he looks a bit under cooked.
Worth a punt it has already paid off with the bat.Yeah - I think that as well.
Wags had an anonymous test and Matt has a bit more pace and might get some reverse swing.
I thought that was the most likely change given my suspicion that Bracewell is a slightly more effective spinner than Phillips and that's what they're picking on.

@Damo said in NZ v Pakistan:
Good score in the end, but not a match defining one.
Be interesting to see how our quicks go.
It is match defining as in we are set up for a win or draw. The loss option is currently off the table.
It could come back but odds are in our favour. -

@Chris-B said in NZ v Pakistan:
@Bovidae I doubt we'll see Southee, Boult, Wagner and Jamieson all play together again.
Be nice to be wrong!!!
I think Boult is done with tests, unless it's a home series outside of the big money T20 tourney schedule. Probably better to move on from him and try to find a proper solution
-
@canefan He's probably still our number 1, so I hope we try to make things work as much as possible.
I think Wags will be eased out and Jamo might be bit injury prone given his height.
I hope someone is analyzing the reasons behind our success in the past decade and working out how to replicate it.
I wouldn't leave it to David White given his record in telecomms. Mainly, he's resulted in me not being able to watch cricket that I was quite willing to pay the market price for.

It could come back but odds are in our favour.It doesn't take a loss out at all.
What if Pakistan score say 625 and end up 175 runs ahead? From that position we would need to bat well in the third innings to hold on.
A match defining innings is 550+ I reckon. Very hard to lose if you score 550.
