Black Caps v Pakistan T20’s

[MN5]

Ha that guy in the crowd got hit in the chops when every single person around him couldn’t catch the ball

[Damo]

Should be enough but you never know. Some good innings from key players which is pleasing to see.

[KiwiMurph]

Paksitan cruising so far.

[LABCAT]

Not sure why Milne has played so many matches for NZ. He has a very average record yet keeps getting picked again and again, but hey he can bowl fast

[MN5]

What a catch from Sodhi, to think some idiots thought his fielding wasn’t up to scratch

You take Santner out of the x1 and it looks really unbalanced Santner at 7 or 8 looks better.
We may miss Santner today with bat and Ball.

Yeah, Neesham as well who was the best batter in the last series. We don't really seem to have a good upcoming replacement for him, maybe Nathan Smith should have been give a chance although he is more of a bowler.

This is actually quite a bad team selection if we are trying to plan for a T20 world cup. Why are we playing five frontline bowlers?

Yeah agreed team is totally unbalanced for a 20/20 team should have played another bat Seifert who is in the squad and trusted Phillips and Mitchell as the 5th bowler.
That 7 down batters for this game are going to lose you a game not win it with the bat.

[Gunner]

How about this Pakistan keeper?

Won’t be too many quick singles.

The one that Sears saved they only ran 1.

[canefan]

Why can't our bowlers bowl Yorkers instead of wide length balls?

[KiwiMurph]

@canefan skill

[Gunner]

Wouldn’t mind seeing the back of Babar, the longer he stays in the more nervous I’ll become.

Williamson owed us that catch, after his earlier balls up.

[Bones]

Is the Pakistan wicketkeeper just a practical joke being played on everyone?

That keeper is a big unit.

He can hit a very big ball Eden Park will not be big enough if he gets going.

Never really got going

Not much margin for error on Eden Park, where my 8 year old could even hit a straight 6

[Chris]

Good bowling from Milne bowling off cutters in to the pitch hard to hit with the extra bounce.

Nah too many pies today.

[Gunner]

Only joined the chat a couple of overs ago, so I’m sure it’s already been mentioned…

but our team selection today was fucked.

6 batters then into a loooong tail.
Milne isn’t a 7, he’s a 9 or 10.

Yeah looks like the bowling plan even off pace deliveries are easier to hit straight than square.
Bowling in to the pitch pace on pace off harder hit to square brings the catchers in to play.
