*Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
fmd I didn't want to post on here because I honestly thought I'd jinx it. **** me what a win. Had given up like most but we somehow got back in it. Commiserations to Pakistan, bowlers did an incredible job the whole match only to be let down by some brain fades and some excellent bowling by Patel. This ranks up here as one of my all time favourite wins. Hands are shaking tbh.

Not Terrible
The Asian fortress is being broken down it seems. Zim taking a test off BD in BD, Eng beating SL in SL, now NZ beating Pak in UAE.

Pak could still win this series ofc, but it would be amazing if NZ pulled it off, or atleast leveled it.

Time for the Asian teams to raise their game when touring overseas
NZ tied their last series in the UAE.
 

Moss

International Vice-Captain
To think that we all thought the match was 99% gone when we were bowled out on day 1 for 153.

Some good individual performances to just stay in touch with the match over the next couple of days. Some great bowling and then Pakistan ****ed up too.
Possibly the test match equivalent of that 2011 QF against South Africa? Somehow stay in the game, give the opponents a chance to choke and then go for the kill.

That delivery from Ajaz was a cracker. When they did the replay I honestly doubted whether or not it had actually pitched in line as it looked like it might've landed outside leg :laugh:

If NZ wins this I won't whack off for a whole week in celebration.
Never been happier to begin a drought.

Daily reminder Athlai would have been the ruin of this test for NZ if it wasn't for those brave men.

So glad we didn't go with Southee. Would he have gotten the wickets Wagner nabbed us? Doubt it.

It was the semifinal you filthy casual.

However, it was an odi so does that make me the casual?

Edit: oh **** 2011 not 2015. Double fail.

When was the last time a Kiwi spinner bowled us to a win in the 4th innings? Has it ever happened?
I'm gonna ignore Mark Craig and hark back to that time Paul Wiseman randomly took a whole lot of wickets, though I don't think we won that match in the end.

Mathew Hart?
