***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

[Kippax]

its gonna rain tomorrow

120km/h gusts at times, but the forecast is pretty dry now.

Hopefully it does not rain. This could be a standout ODI series between 2 very good limited overs sides.

Plus, the thread should be stickied, considering it is about a series with some of the world's leading cricketers taking part...on a cricket forum.

The world's leading cricketers play for India, Australia and England. And those series get their own subforums and get made stickied very early

You managed to maintain the sarcasm level of the post high by carefully removing SA from the list. Agree with the sentiment.

Haha

Well look, you have been on this forum longer than me, message one of the mods and get this stickied. I mean, this is a series with Kane, Guptill, Boult, Ali, Zaman, Sarfraz, Shadab and so on, it shouldn't take this long to be stickied. With the Ashes being a total bore for the most part and the ODI series likely following suit, this and SA/Ind are the best series ongoing.

 

[Firebreaker]

NZ should win the series

 

[smash84]

Hasan Ali to run through NZ

 

[oblongballs]

Hasan Ali requires dry, hot conditions and NZ looks to be the opposite at this time. I think Amir and Raees will likely do better.

How is the weather in Wellington at the moment?

 

[Blain]

In Welly, the clouds from the storm look to have gone, but the cold southerly wind remains! Gonna be jersey weather, but we should get a full day in so that's good. Sun's coming out.

No offence, but other than Sarfraz none of those names are familiar...

 

[Firebreaker]

Want it to be a high scoring game.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Pakistan has won the toss and will bowl

 

[Firebreaker]

Why NZ are blocking the career of Peter Younghusband? Just send him back to Zimbabwe

 

[weldone]

very pumped for this - 1st innings is going to end at 1:30 AM UK time and I'll be awake to witness that

Seniority strikes again in Pakistan.Imam Ul Haq who scored 100 on his debut and a 40 not out is dropped in favour of average Azhar Ali.I hope Pak gets thrashed.Nothing pleases me more than Pak getting thrashed

Azhar did well in Champions Trophy final, and in the practice match. Imam is one for the future. Pakistan is doing the right thing by easing him into International cricket - nothing wrong there

Yelp, that swung big the other way.

 

[BeeGee]

Munro is in fine form.

 

[Athlai]

This is a fun opening pair.
