*Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

How (I mean “hahr”) does McMillan pronounce Milne as “Moown”? God I hate him.

Mitchell throwing the ball back to the bowler via a backwards flick from the boundary rope is

tbf I think the fact that Khan was never running 2 assisted his decision to do it

 

[thierry henry]

New Zealand are nahr on top

 

[thierry henry]

Apparently Shaheen was in as a pinch hitter…ahead of the rest of the tail?

 

[SteveNZ]

Milne and Shaheen...there's zero chance there's ever been a worse pair of 7s in international history

 

[King Kane]

I don't know how Shaheen is batting ahead of Jamal, he is a genuine all rounder, he batted brilliantly in the test series against Australia.

Sears getting the big wicket of Babar, that helps to make up for him getting pumped in his previous 3 overs.

STOP SAYING STRAIGHT UP YOU **** z

STOP SAYING STRAIGHT UP YOU **** z

The old straight up that lands just inside the boundary.

Gotta say, Sears bowled a lot better than I thought he would. Still didn't bowl great, but made very smart use of his slower ball to keep the batsmen guessing in tricky bowling conditions

 

[Bahnz]

That was daft from Rauf. NZ were going to have to bowl Sodhi at the death. Still a slim chance Jamal might've been able to do something

Wasn't helped that balls that went for 6 here would've been caught on the rope elsewhere.

Some good death bowling from Sears and Southee.

Southee looks a great prospect, I think he could have a future for the Black Caps.

Sears might do too.

 

[Neil Young]

Glenn Phillips is a strange little man that I can't help but love.

He really is. I watched him live locally here last year, He's built like a cartoon character, and kind of acts like one.

I also like him, though. Great player.

200-plus totals in T20s turn me off a bit usually, like 400-odd in ODIs, but that was a fun game to be at - really good atmosphere in the ground.

 

[_Ed_]

I would have given MOTM to Southee for his 4-25. No other bowler on either side went for less than 8.5 rpo!

 

[NZTailender]

Clarkson's out of the third game with an injury (poor bloke) and CW's favourite Will Young has been called up as cover.

Can't wait for him to bat 7?

 

[_Ed_]

Aw, Clarkson. It's starting to feel like it's not meant to be.

He'll (should) have replaced Conway by then .....

 

[The Hutt Rec]

That must be the shoulder injury for Clarkson when he was diving into his crease a few days ago … it didn’t look good.
