NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

@Crazy-Horse said in NZ v Pakistan:
Nichols at four and Mitchell at five. God help us.
I think they’re backing Nicholls to come good. Young just hasn’t shown enough but I thought he’d be in opening with Conway at four personally. Nicholls career trajectory is sliding towards the Astle/McMillan/Styris bracket, you know, good without being great. ( Latham too to be honest )
Will be interesting to see if Johns son can continue the incredible work he did in England. I suspect that was a freak occurrence and normal transmission will resume.

Yeah I suspect John's son has over achieved so far, but happy to be proven wrong. I rate Astle etc ahead of Nicholls. IIRC the purple patch Nicolls went through coincided with him being dropped a dozen times per innings.

Yeah Nichols ability to bust out a mammoth innings when he’s on the verge of being dropped and nudging the test average over 40 again can’t be ignored !

Didn’t realise there was no crowd. Big adjustment needed from watching the Oz game at the G
Good batting, for one
Jinx is on me!

Back to the Cricket. We're obviously not praying to the right deity as Pakis hit 2hundy for 4.
Babar Azam reaches 3 figures.

My fault. Turned off for family commitments.
What a drop though, from 12 to 161 and counting...150 runs is painful

I dont really expect NZ to pass 300 once this series, so I'd say game over already.
Although I'd say a 0-2 ws odds on anyway, so no big hot take.
May be being too pessimistic, but they've earned by pessimism this last 12 months.
Taylor retiring and Boult and Jamieson not available has left the team looking vulnerable…….but there is enough class to compete.
The form drop is alarming though.
