NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[canefan]

There may be an awkward final session run chase in store for our boys

[canefan]

Wasted challenge. I hope that doesn't cost us

[No Quarter]

Hotspot would be nice there

[Damo]

Good decision from the umpire. Live I thought that was out. I don't blame them for taking the review.

Could be costly though.

Wishful thinking perhaps. Thought there was a noise on spin vision, but was a gap on snicko.

@Damo said in NZ v Pakistan:

"Isn't it? "

Seems to be a phrase added to the end of sentences by English speakers from the sub-continent. Sounds weird to my ears but they all do it so it must be an accepted part of the dialect.

I'd never heard sub-conties doing it. But I started doing it myself several years ago, as a pisstake of the "innit?"
ie: a properly enunciated version of the irritating London dialect.

Damn it. Will have to go to bed.

Go now

Good night. We'll tell you about it in the morning.

[MajorRage]

Pakistan looking very very under control here.

If can survive another 10 overs for 20-30 runs then she's all over.

[canefan]

Looking more and more like a draw

[Chris]

Yep looks like a draw to me 35 overs left something has to happen for NZ in the next 5 overs.

[Chris B.]

I reckon we've got about 15 overs to take the remaining wickets.

@3 an over that will get them to about 120 and with a few overs deducted for the change of innings we'd probably have to to go at 7 an over to get there.

Will rapidly get too tough if they go beyond 15 overs.

Field feels very negative against the spinners. Why only 1 slip? Why aren’t we surrounding the bat given we can’t lose?

[Damo]

It's very comfortable out there.

Is your captain Dean Elgar?

[Damo]

I love that Ish has added a flipper to his repertoire.

That was a thing of beauty.

[canefan]

A couple more moments of brilliance and it's game on

[Chris B.]

Time for a couple from Wagner.

[ACT Crusader]

Ajaz fumbles and a run out goes begging.
