[undertaker]

Thrilling end to a test match. A big shame bad light brought an end to it.

Had it gone for a couple more overs, that final wicket Pakistan partnership were odds on for chasing down the remaining 15 runs.

 

[Meth]

What. a. Match.

A lot to question about NZ’s tactics and decisions. A lot to admire about Pakistan’s cricket, particularly Sarfraz.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Pity that shakeel couldn't/didn't get a few more than 32 off the 146 balls he faced. On a sidenote just finished reading Wasim Akram's book, i recommend it.

 

[JJ]

Test cricket eh, how good?

 

[Meth]

NZ could possibly feel a little aggrieved, but having bowled and fielded so conservatively, we were authors of our own demise (or, in this case, our draw)

 

[TheParraboy]

Didn’t think the test reached any great heights until NZ declaration late day 4. Could easily have batted another 20-30 min on day 5 and no one bats an eye lid to be fair .
From the declaration all of a sudden all 3 results were in play on day 5. And all 3 potential results changed throughout the day. Made terrific viewing right until the unfortunate end where we got the least favoured result

[JJ]

Conway, Williamson and the spinners dominated that one, strange game.

 

[JJ]

And we win the series - good performance, both teams wobbled after good starts, terrific innings from Glenn Phillips to win it

 

[Hutty1986]

Great effort from the kiwis to come back from 1-0 down, and probably should have won the test series too
