*Official* New Zealand vs Pakistan 2022/23

[trundler]

Babar will get himself out for 70 odd and Pak will duly fold afterwards. Innings win for NZ a very real possibility.

 

[ashley bach]

It's been remarkable the way these wickets have fallen, Bazball is infectious.

 

[Niall]

Yeah he played several really classy innings in the Misbah years.

He is bullying spin again.
Probably out in two overs though?

 

[Moss]

If he does, would be inexcusable given the chance that went down. Good signs for the series though, he’s NZ plenty to think about.

 

[Apex Predator]

Ajaz & a Wagner short ball barrage after Lunch should be interesting. NZ were a bit late to bring pace against Shakeel

 

[Apex Predator]

Sodhi ideally had no business playing.

 

[straw man]

Sodhi ideally had no business playing.

He's about to pounce, just wait

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Maybe Rizwan and Sarfraz both could have played

 

[Moss]

Ajaz having issues with his line since his first spell? Seems to be drifting down leg quite often.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Short leg is standing very far off. Gotta come closer

 

[Moss]

Urooj on comms just said the same. She seems pretty decent.

 

[Athlai]

Babar ffs stop being good

 

[straw man]

Wagnerball is tough going

 

[ashley bach]

It's a seriously good looking pitch for batting, Pakistani top 4 really threw it away.

 

[ashley bach]

This is rubbish from Wagner consistently bowling down the leg side.

 

[thierry henry]

Wagner looks so toothless bowling 126kph on a dead deck. Probably about to take a bag then.

 

[Apex Predator]

Sodhi released all th pressure by bowling trash... NZ missing a one genuine 90mph bowler on such tracks.

 

[Athlai]

Santa in for Sodhi

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah he played several really classy innings in the Misbah years.

Yeah Sarfaraz was good but I'd pick Rizwan as a specialist bat ahead of Masood anyway.

 

[ashley bach]

Santa in for Sodhi

Santa's gone mate, he came and went yesterday.
