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.

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

Great finish from Boult!! another 5fer

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.

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.

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

Bloody Hell, someone has fraped Reason. This article is actually really good!
Gezz he has an axe to grind with McCullum doesn't he? I couldn't disagree with him more on that, it was McCullum that instilled the "team first" attitude that had been lacking previously and Kane has continued to build on that. He and Hesson turned the team around, particularly from a culture POV, and we are seeing the benefits of that now.
Not to take anything away from Kane, he's a fantastic captain, but he didn't set all of this in motion.
Fuck I can't stand Reason.

100% this.
When Hesson was appointed and McCullum was given captaincy and they went to SA and got towelled, they bacame my two hatiest people in sport. I honestly thought they had no idea.
I've never been so wrong and am very grateful that Hesson and McCullum turned NZ cricket round.
It's a team to be proud of again and Kane is carrying on from that

We've had some great captains going back to when S Fleming was in charge.
