Looks like we had this game in the bag once we went past 30

Looking good!

I was hoping - for a while - we'd get them for less than 26.

But, Farheem hit a six and increased their total by 25%...in the 16th over.

One of the commentators said earlier it might be like a 1980s game.

[No Quarter]

Loving the balance of our attack. Ferguson has been outstanding this year.

[Virgil]

Crowd getting their money’s worth here!

[No Quarter]

What a fucking catch!!

[No Quarter]

Sideline update from Laura: "there's plenty of weather happening". Insightful.

Fark yes! That was properly past him - what an athlete.

[No Quarter]

French cut gets them over the lowest ever score.

This pitch suits Pakistan with it's slow nature and tennis ball bounce. I have a feeling this one will be closer than the first two.

You Sir, are an idiot.

Please don't post on cricket threads ever again.

[No Quarter]

Southee deserves a wicket, he's been excellent today.

[Virgil]

..least the Windies were competitive

[Paekakboyz]

Great finish from Boult!! another 5fer

[Sneakdefreak]

Pakistan should be grateful for making it to 74 before losing their last wicket. For a moment it actually looked like they would struggle to make it past 25....

...guess the money didn't transfer across to their Cayman Islands bank account quick enough.

[Gunner]

I thought this mob were supposed to be better than the Windies?

Or is it just that their bookies pay schedule is better?

[Virgil]

Least the managed to pass Kane’s score

[Gunner]

The news doesn’t get any better for Pakistan, as Afghanistan have beaten them comfortably in the u19 wc in Whangarei today.

[MN5]

Has anyone had a whinge about Southees irresponsible innings? 6 off 5 is just not acceptable these days.

Pakistan have clearly come here motivated. Their effort in the field has been far better than the Windies and their bowlers can stick to a plan. Their problem has been that their batsmen have struggled to adapt to our conditions, especially early on. One warm up match just isn't enough. It was the same way with the test matches last season.

Is this post serious? Even the Windies did better than the pakis did today.

Their batting was unmitigated shite. But I agree with @hydro11 that their commitment in the field has been great.
