NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[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 !!!!!!

( you all know what I’m talking about )

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.

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.

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.

Yep agreed.

[booboo]

Disappointing score to wake up o given our start, and what is was when I turned off.

[MN5]

Echoing what others said…..

Disappointed in the score considering the start.

Nicholls run of meh continues.

Mitchell HAD to trough after the peaks he had.

Bracewell ? Waste of space.

Blundell could hang around for a decent score though.

His away record is terrible compared to his home record, so don't be expecting a century when you think he will be axed.

Home: 48.02, 7 x 100s
Away: 22.30, 0 x 100s

Bracewell is obviously Stead's new pet player.

I’ve got the overseas average higher with one ton but your point stands.

Henry Nicholls - Performance Analysis by venue Home / Away - Test Cricket

A case can be made for him to never tour and just be brought out at home.

Bracewell seems to be as ‘part rounder’ as is humanly possible, destined to bat or bowl ok every now and again to make people forget the shit in between, and be persisted with for ages.

I’d rather his spot be taken by a specialist

Well, Australia have FOUR in the top eight. Was referring to Smith and Bus change.

Conway getting out means it “dips” to 57.50.

I still predict a terrific career for him though, there’s just too much poise, talent, temperament etc for this to be a case of “a great start”.

The tests in the UAE and the WTC final are considered neutral venues so aren't included in those stats. Nicholls did score a century in the UAE.
