Pakistan in NZ - Pyjama tour 2017/18

[JJ]

With Munro and Santner we have the equivalent of two Marshes catching

Taylor shows them how, and Henry gets the first

Matt Henry looking good again - god he's frustrating, I still think he can be a good international bowler, but he keeps providing mixed (at best) evidence to support that

He's more than proven he is a very fine intl odi opening bowler. Just he clashes with Boult and Southee, not just in swing cos Henry gets better nibble than Southee, but his more limited death options.

He isn't first change, cos Hess likes one express bowler in the team. But if Ferg, Milne, Kuggs and Bennett all fall apart - Henry may return to that role by next WC.

2/2 now

He's more than an ODI bowler though, I had test hopes for him

I share your disapointment in him in tests. Far too much long hop to back of a length stuff at a pace intl batsmen just hit hard and safely. And when he tries to bowl it fuller, he overpitches too many.

Southee just bowled a late inswinger?! Has to be a fluke.

Henry running through them

Henry's run through better.

I think even Neesham would fancy bowling to these guys.

Fergusson strikes,

52/4

Looking pretty tough for Pakistan from here.

 

[JJ]

Munro caught it... just

 

[Meth]

57/5

Fergusson just bowled one of the worst balls I have ever seen, then followed it up with a 150 mph wide

 

[JJ]

Ross catching nicely now he can see

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee the Paki batting is dreadful these days

 

[JJ]

WTF Ferguson

Just go back over the wicket this lot are hell bent on self destruction anyway

 

[ANTiLAG]

Santner getting some big turn here.

Just gets better and better as odi player each year. Very impressive.

Shame he hasn't mastered test cricket.

 

[JJ]

Pakis still in this

This Shadab would solve so many of NZC's problems. We should try to recruit him.

4 year stand down at 19 aint that long - just ask Amir.

 

[Iafeta]

Not only is Latham a rubbish ODI bat, there's at least two balls he's made absolutely woeful efforts on keeping to. He looks like he is standing up too quickly to me.

 

[Iafeta]

Ferguson can bowl some serious tripe sometimes

 

[Iafeta]

NZ are the better 0-40 over team. But by god they are an awful 41-50 over team. Inaccurate bowling and really shoddy batting in this series.
