@Chris said in NZ v Pakistan:
Blundel has become a really solid bat for us normally at 7 strengthens our batting nicely very reliable bat.
Questions were being asked last year, particularly about his keeping. But 4 (?) stumpings) in two tests is pretty good!

@booboo will they be that worried about our spin options tomorrow? We've shown some good patches but there has also been a fair bit of dross. Pakistan might be feeling ok about having to bat at 3.5 or more.

Yeah. Need to set them a challenging RPO.

Yep to be fair I questioned his keeping a year ago,But he has been excellent in the last year with Bat and gloves.
He has won me over. -

5 or 6 an over from here till stumps, then go hell for leather in the a.m. for 10 overs.
That my plan anyway ...
10 overs tomorrow seems a bit excessive. I would want to have a bowl tonight.
Not sure we can get far enough in front tonight, unless we go nuts now, and that has risks.

Not huge risks. I mean if we go for it now and lose a few wickets in a hurry we still have some pretty good batting to come that can survive for a while.
I think we should back ourselves.

Yeah I think if we declare tonight we leave ourselves short and leave too many overs for Pakistan.
Plus we will probably lose 5 overs tonight due to bad light again. -

Blundel maybe done a groin he won’t be Keeping tomorrow if he has.
And batting all he can do is stand and deliver.Two other keepers in the team.
1 and a half.
I'm not convinced about Conway's keeping.
