Black Caps vs Pakistan Series

That's possibly a silly question since he's made a ton and a 50 in this series, but his last two innings he seems to be struggling to score.

He's held to some pretty fucken high standards compared to the others, even Taylor who also has a fantastic ODI record.

[MN5]

Without wanting to jinx anything I must say that even though we've lost our best hitter and best batsman I feel extremely confident with these two at the crease.

Fucken loving the BCs at the moment.

Not much interest on this thread considering how well we're doing.

191/2 with 12 to go. 300 plus on the cards easily with some of the hitters we have.

If these guys are still there with 5 to go I'd definitely promote CDGH.

I see what you've done there. As you were.

Ack. Guptill makes 100 then out straight away. CDG in. Taylor gets his 50.

Time to accelerate, boys.

I picked it beautifully. Go CDGH!!!

GAH. Nicholls out for 1, just after Taylor gets bowled. Hate these mini collapses.

@mokey
Pakistan's death bowling has been consistently brilliant.

It's like you've completely forgotten our cricketing history.

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Latham..... ffs

[Mokey]

@mariner4life Yes. These fucking bastards have been lulling me with the string of victories.

[Mokey]

Santner run out. JFC. Southee in now.

[MN5]

Holy shit. This is epic.

.....and by epic I don't mean in a good way.

[mariner4life]

hilarious. 4 wickets in 20 balls

[Donsteppa]

Ahhh, business as usual has briefly resumed. This is much more familiar

[MN5]

I'm just pleased there's two sloggers at the crease.

[MN5]

271 after 50. Woulda expected more boundaries from the last pair. Still a decent effort but shoulda been way more.

[Donsteppa]

Seemed a very difficult pitch to score at close to a run a ball on - or we made it very had work. We’ll find out which it was very soon

[No Quarter]

We don't quite have the middle-lower order right at the moment. Latham's position must be under pressure, he's not really suited to batting 6 or 7 and hitting from the word go. Think Phillips will be pushing him hard for that slot in the near future. Also missing Corey's hitting power there, though CDGH has done a decent job.

I'd say we're 20 runs below par, and with no Boult in the lineup things could get interesting.
