CWC - Black Caps v Pakistan

[Chris B.]

Decent start: (a) we haven't lost early wickets to Afridi; and (b) we've got some runs on the board.

[Chris B.]

@Damo Under pressure to provide some big runs - not for his place in the side I think.

Great start vs England, but failed vs India & SA and a run of middling scores.

[Damo]

I guess that is another middling score. He looked to be in good nick.

Let's see if Kane can do anything.

[canefan]

Solid start. But you can never relax against Pakistan, they are our bogey team

[Chris B.]

Bangalore, Sir Paddles?

"Chinnaswamy!"

[Damo]

Another 50 for Ravindra. Early days but he looks like he could be a great.

[bayimports]

Was averaging 70 for this tournament before today, already relying on him to continue lol

[bayimports]

And now he is injured, argh hope it’s minor

[bayimports]

I don’t think Rachin is going to stay out there for much longer, he ma slog out

I think Ian Smith was just being paranoid.

[bayimports]

@Damo nah he was stretching hard after that boundary

[Damo]

@bayimports Hopefully just some cramp. He is still striking the ball nicely.

[bayimports]

@Damo still middling it for sure, hopefully no quick singles!

[bayimports]

No cricket and Kane gets another half century, take a bow

The crowd love him!

Certainly on our side!

After spending a month this year in Bengaluru I’m a bit pissed I didn’t get my timing right to watch this live.

Starting to think you might be right, certainly hoping anyway. Last couple of singles he has looked ok

[Chris B.]

That ramp was a fabulous shot!

[bayimports]

Loving this commentary team also ,possibility of reverse swing here today and Wasim contributes “I’m sure there are shorter ways of getting reverse swing”

I think he just likes grimacing!
