Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2020/21, (3 T20's, 2 Tests)

[Meth]

covers coming off, looks quite nice and sunny now

Lived in Christchurch for 10 years. It is generally more steady and predictable and less fluctuant than Auckland, but it has its days.

Henry has started well, but as JJ said, must be on his last chance. He's played a couple of good Tests, but is generally shit.

Who else is there? Duffy? Does Ferguson get another go?

No more Test cricket unless we somehow make Lords, until India in November.

NZ burn a review there, trying to get Rizwan.

IMO, 3 reviews is 1 too many. To make a frivolous review like that and still have 2 reviews left (especially with a mechanism to retain reviews) is absurd.

 

[Meth]

Come on boys. 2 wickets to the tail!

Ive been to Auckland and surrounds in 2010 (enjoyed it a lot) and Christchurch was on my radar soon after, but the Earthquakes there were a concern around the time I wanted to go there

Still hope to check out South Island when this covid mess is over and done with

Fly into christchurch and then leave 1-2 days later. All around the South Island coast is marvellous.

 

[JJ]

Yeah I wouldn’t bother much with Christchurch tbh, but the South Island is epic, well worth a good few weeks and a hire car

 

[Meth]

There's been a couple of near misses, but these two are looking fairly stubborn and almost settled. Might be time for a bowling change soon.

It's a gateway city

5 Million peeps.

I love kiwis.

Kiwi >>>>>Victorian

200 million Pakis...

Azhar has the occasional Boult flourish going on

You go ok too

Jamieson catches Azhar in the ribs. His bounce and shape is troubling the Pakistanis

 

[Meth]

Henry's figures aren't flattering. The problem seems to be that he isn't taking wickets with his good balls (bad luck) and he's bowling a couple of bad balls each over.

Yeah, he’s the anti Labuschange... with more games he should get some luck but is 4th or 5th option atm

fmd Jamieson is bowling some stunning deliveries

 

[Meth]

Nice 50 from Rizwan. Has probably looked more in control than Azhar. Maybe its just that he's chanced his arm and been a bit more aggressive. Either way, he's making the most of his time as captain.

And still.

Even less luck at the moment than Henry though...

He’s been incredibly impressive this tour, even more so given he’s last minute captain

 

[Meth]

Jamieson starting to look tired and bowling a few loose ones and just as he is, he gets Rizwan. Phew!

Pak 171/5

NZ slightly on top?
