NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

Conway gives me a chubby

There is so much to like about him.

The one potential issue is if they keep chopping and changing him in the batting line up. Then again genuine class players can cope with that, Justin Langer springs to mind, I forgot he spend a bit of time moving around before settling with Hayden at the top.

I’m pleased Latham appears to have found form too. He does get a bit unfairly maligned as a flat track bully for my liking.

Hundred up and Latham 50. Well played fellas.

EDIT: Conway too.

I like Conway opening, when could still pick Young down the order as he has been converted into an opener he batted down the order in domestic cricket.
Or give Phillips a crack as we will not need 3 spinners away from The sub continent, Blundel back to 7.

No Quarter

Tommy is in a rich vein of form given the runs he scored against India in the ODIs

He’s not fucking round either.

Conway is scoring pretty quick but Latham is making him look like Geoffrey Boycott.

No Quarter

Well can't ask for much more than that for the first session

Gunner

@No-Quarter pretty bloody decent alright!

Damo

It's a great start. We need to go on and score big and relatively quickly I think. This pitch looks pretty easy to bat on and it's unlikely to get worse than the first test.

Therefore if we want to win we need to bat big and positively.

Wooooooooooooooo !!!!!!

7th best average of all time currently ( minimum 20 innings )

Just went past that Aussie twit ( other other one is in his sights )

After watching Conway dominate the NZ domestic scene for Wellington over the last 3/4 seasons his success doesn’t surprise me one bit.

He’s a 360 player in that he has all the shots in the world and reminds me so much of AB De Villiers.

Narrows it down

Chris

Another Nick not picked up this time Williamson gets a life.
I can not remember ever watching a test series with as much caught behinds not detected.

Chris

We need a partnership now or we are in danger of not kicking on to a big score.

Chris

And once again Bracewell proving he is not up to test cricket 2nd ball duck.
Didn’t pick the spinner again and played down the wrong line done by the carrom ball.

How many times will this guy be given a chance? Where is Rachin Ravindra? He's someone who is more likely to contribute in the future than Bracewell

Ravindra he got a decent 60 for Wellington in the Super smash,
Play Phillips as well at least he can read the spinners.
