*Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

[thierry henry]

Milne has lost a good 5-10kph from his 150+ days but he's a lot ****ing better at taking wickets now.

Was just about to say though, that his last over was the quickest an NZ bowler bowled tonight. Couple of 147s.

 

[Skyliner]

Macca has a bit of the Wiggums about him.

 

[King Kane]

Milne would have to be the frontrunner for the MOTM, a matchwinning bowling performance from him.

 

[Athlai]

Most clean catches don’t ****ing bounce

 

[Bahnz]

Good game for Sears, but it says something that the guy who's been lauded as by far the quickest gen Z bowler is still getting outpaced by a 30 year old Milne held together by glue and sticky tape.

Santner having a rare genuine shocker

Dude missed the last game with Covid? Probably not 100%.

 

[Athlai]

Dude missed the last game with Covid? Probably not 100%.

He’s a batsman now

 

[King Kane]

Finn Allen getting the MOTM award, Milne stiff to miss out there, T20 really is a batsman's game.

Better value than Ferguson at the moment for sure. Didn’t see beyond the powerplay but his first couple of overs were impressive.

Is it just 'new guy weirdness ' or does this guy have the best slower ball in the world?

I searched YouTube to see if he'd been as successful with it in franchise or domestic cricket. The first result was this from the PSL:

I was treated to Craig McMillan saying 'straight up'.

Twice.

In four balls.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I was treated to Craig McMillan saying 'straight up'.

Twice.

In four balls.

Slightly below average then.

 

[Prince EWS]

Slightly below average then.

When the result was from Pakistani franchise cricket I wasn't expecting to hear McMillan at all.

But once he was there, two in four was probably par, yeah.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Isn't that Simon Doull

 

[Prince EWS]

Isn't that Simon Doull

Actually yeah it definitely is. Subconsciously assumed Macca because of the straight ups.

Maybe it's contagious.

 

[honestbharani]

They keep saying straight up coz Kiwi is the bird that can't fly.









I will show myself out.

 

[Himannv]

Why isn’t Lockie playing?

 

[straw man]

Milne WAG

 

[SteveNZ]

Scotty’s premeditated ‘haha the fat guy hit a 6’ commentary interrupted by a catch

For a woke guy, which he is, he sure pointed out how fat Azam is at every opportunity. Subtly, of course.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Why isn’t Lockie playing?

Ben Sears was only selected in the squad for the 1st 2 games and bowled really well with disconcerting bounce hitting the splice. Ferguson will now replace him in the squad for games 3, 4, and 5.
