Pakistan vs New Zealand at Sharjah: Matchday thread; Tue 26/10 Late Game

[smash84]

Always wondered Gambhiring was. What's the story behind the phrase?

It's a term coined by the one and only @Burgey , I will try to dig up the thread for your context a little later.

Feeling sad as a Kiwi supporter but Pakistan have been exceptional. If they carry on this performance into 2 more matches, will have to use a word never associated with them, for them - Consistent.

Is this Bazid on comms at the moment? Coming off as fairly keen to assert Pakistan’s superiority over NZ.

Southee bowling 127kph and not swinging it at all is less than promising

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

NZ need a Wagner here

 

[thierry henry]

Very early days but maybe the pitch is a bit tricky if you hammer back of a length

 

[Kirkut]

Southee bowling 127kph and not swinging it at all is less than promising

At least he won't be giving easy singles here.

1 down, 9 to go

I think our guys will make it a close game but we were not great with the bat. For the first time in years felt like we didn't have proper plans to play each of the pakistan bowlers. We tried to play everything from the crease even when you could guess the lines and length Pakistan were going to bowl.

I think pakistan bowling was not as good as they bowled vs India. We missed out on some loose balls and for some strange things such as Mitchell opening, Neesham at 4, playing seifert etc..

 

[thierry henry]

Yeah Boult and Southee just bowling into the pitch and it’s proving to be hard work

Great stuff from Southee.

Does Santner have a carrom ball in his repetoire?

 

[Athlai]

Does Santner have a carrom ball in his repetoire?

Yeah he does actually but it’s filthy

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Aye look, it's that guy from Hong Kong in the field...Mark Chapman.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Scoreboard pressure was getting to Pakistan
Now Fakhar with the release show...six over cowcorner.

 

[straw man]

Wasn't planning to wake up for this but can't sleep so here we go.

Our batting lineup says we still don't have much idea who our best top 7 are and in what order they should come out, but it looks an edgy chase for Pakistan regardless.

[SillyCowCorner1]

pad first i think

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

2 down, 8 to go

 

[Moss]

Good comeback from Sodhi, thought that might have been going over the stumps but fine review in the end.

Damn Professor!!
