@MN5 said in NZ v Pakistan:
I wonder how the fern will cope with Southee if he gets out cheaply and “irresponsibly”
His first test innings as captain will be compulsory viewing.
( says someone without sky and who will be in bed most likely )
The thing about Southee is that even when his batting fails he still has his bowling to fall back on.

Latham and Conway very solid with the bat thus far, Pakistan opting to utilise spin for most of the third session.
Conway is 54 off 95, Latham 38 off 73
NZ 96/0 and trail by 342

@Higgins said in NZ v Pakistan:
@Damo Have you given up on an innings victory already?
Absolutely not. The game plan from here is to bat another day and a half and bowl Pakistan out without having to bat again.
The question is whether we can achieve that though.

Interesting stat Tom Latham has scored the 2nd most runs over the last 5 years of all Test Openers in the world.
Out of interest who is No.1?
Despite his recent lean years I’m picking Warner although there is possibly someone obvious I’m missing.
Speaking of openers what an awesome performance from ours. Waking up to a scoreline like that when you imagine four or five down is definitely possible is heartwarming.

I would like to know who all other openers faced? Tom didn’t like playing strong test teams
Still stat looks good doesn’t it!

The top run scorer faced Bangladesh a few times.
It worked out as being not much difference due to the World Test Championship most teams played each other on a regular basis and around about the same amount of times for all the opening bats. -

@Damo said in NZ v Pakistan:
So the goal today would be to score quickly without taking any risks or losing wickets.
If we can be say 200 up at the end of the day with 8-9 wickets in hand that would be an OK day.
I can’t see us making 638 to be 200 ahead.

Great 100 Tommy 13th test 100.
Batting becoming tough now,ball is keeping low unless it’s spinning out of the rough when it is leaping a bit.
Batting on this pitch in day 4 and 5 will be very very tough.What we mustn't do is just survive without looking to push some runs.
Looks to me like eventually one will be unplayable and get you out. We need to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Yep we have to stay positive it’s all about the runs not time. We do not want to just try to survive and be all out for 300 still trailing by 140 runs.
