@Chris said in NZ v Pakistan:

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.

[Chris]

Better from Bracewell he should always play his shots that is his cricket DNA,not grafting.

Latham or Conway of course.

[ACT Crusader]

After a flurry of runs, Blundell skies one to a wide-ish mid-on.

Mitchell in now with a very settled Bracewell. We are in an interesting spot here because we don’t have enough runs to feel comfortable but time is needed to bowl these guys out again.

[Damo]

Last over and then declare. Make it a big one.

[MajorRage]

Commentators (Doull / Styris) absolutely slating NZ for their approach last hour. And I completely agree.

What was the point in scoring 7 runs off 30 balls at this point??

I.e ... why not do what they are doing now 30 mins ago? Only 7 runs less ...

[Damo]

Declared. We have enough runs. If Pakistan can chase this down then good on them.

I think our attitude was terrible for that 5 over period after drinks.

[ACT Crusader]

Pakistan will need to break the record for chasing to get the win.

3 overs to take a wicket and apply some pressure.

That knock should give him confidence going forward. He really has to work for that

[sparky]

Probably heading for a draw.

Not according to Timmy!

Boom!!

[ARHS]

Geez what a great opening over from the captain. Seaming nicely off the track. Great day in store tomorrow

[canefan]

Ish strikes! Game on

[MajorRage]

Pretty much so perfect day then ....

Declare at a point to give the opposition a sniff so they have a go. Then pick up two wickets (one NWM) in the 3 overs.

[sparky]

Pakistan 0-2 at the close.

[ACT Crusader]

Woohoo. Awesome effort to pick up 2

Yep was good to see

That is better Bracewell be positive.

Geez Chris you knew he was going to have his one decent score after you and Damo bagged him, the buggers do that just to give us the finger I thing. He will revert to usual in future no doubt, though doubt he will get another test this summer, haven't we only got Poms at home? More back to our usual line up of 3-4 seamers and maybe a spinner who can bat?
I will leave it to the cricket men to advise me on expected line ups on home pitch.
