***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand - T20/ODI series - Jan 2016

[thierry henry]

It's mental that Amir hasn't played since just after his 18th birthday but he has played more T20Is than 7 of NZ's 11

 

[thundaboult]

Loving Matt Henry's stuff here. 140 and above consistently giving no easy runs away.

 

[smash84]

Pakistan do look like they don't wwnt to score above 130

Henry's a gun.

 

[thierry henry]

I think my little toilet pep talk was just the burst of confidence Henry Jnr needed

 

[Bahnz]

Henry looked awesome in those first two overs, but mystifying that he was taken off.

Good to see CJ back at the crease, even if his first two balls were rank pies.

 

[Zinzan]

Pakistan loving Anderson's juicy medium pacers.

 

[Niall]

Oh look Maqsood has done absolutely nothing again.

Poor man's Umar Akmal and I mean that in a non complimentary way.

 

[Zinzan]

Henry looked awesome in those first two overs, but mystifying that he was taken off.

Classic case of just going with the plan. Happens far too often by all Captain. Get the feeling S P Fleming would have bowl Henry another one.


Meanwhile, beautifully flighted from Santner.

 

[thierry henry]

Lads definitely on a high from last night. Give the ball to Toddy.

 

[Bahnz]

Tastle at 88kmh - well that's a lot quicker than his first turn in test cricket.

 

[Zinzan]

Two spinners making up for Anderson's over. Excellent bowling Taste-tle.

 

[NZTailender]

sxc bowling line up

 

[thundaboult]

Boult is just a shell of his former self now.

 

[Howe_zat]

Steadily becoming a pretty good score this. Hafeez has been their best one day batsman over the last couple of years.

 

[Zinzan]

It's uncanny how often Afridi comes off vs. NZ. Seems we allow him to intimidate us more than other countries.

 

[Spark]

Snatched at it.

 

[Howe_zat]

You drop the catches in T20, you lose.

Umar Akmal is a rank brainless slogger these days, looked to have some great strokemaking talent when he first came in.

 

[thundaboult]

It's uncanny how often Afridi comes off vs. NZ. Seems we allow him to intimidate us more than other countries.

I think we let a lot of the big players of other countries regularly get to us. Or maybe they're just that damn good idk
