Black Caps v Pakistan
-
Well the players have fucked this up, so it's down to us. We've got some pretty heavy jinxing to do today.
Unfortunately it's not a work day. Advantage Pakistan

I've written it off now.
Pakis will rack up 450 run lead and we'll fizzle for 90.

Surely DeGrandhomme's 6-for was beginners luck and he can't take six again. Anyone got anything to add on Southee?
-
Hmmm... whenever i turn on the telly we have either just git a wicket or we get one within two deliveries. Well it's happened last three times.
This time booboo strikes first ball. Boulter grabs Misbah on the boundary off Timmah.
Then Boulter gets another.
Like this game... so far ...
-
BTW there is still time for their 450 lead ...
BOULT!!!
-
Great ball. 6 down.
Going to be bloody embarrassing when their last five batsmen rack up 4 hundy between them ...
-
@Gunner are you watching it?
Because I thought the Pakistan bowlers were pretty good. They built pressure but attacked. It cost them a few boundaries to the lower order but overall the strategy was good.
@ACT-Crusader nope, wasn't watching. Was following on cricinfo this morning while at work. Too bloody busy actually working after work to follow the cricket.
They may have bowled to a plan, but without watching I believe we batted pretty fucking poorly as well.I see we've bowled well again though, and all going to plan in the morning, we'll be chasing no more than 150 to win, which is no walk in the park.
Game on.

I'd say esaier than that. It's a Day 3 pitch effectively - shouldn't be destroying itself yet. 150 should be a walk, 200 getting tough, and let's not talk about our batting collapses again oh god why do we keep doing this to each other
OK, that off my chest, IF we don't collapse, we should still be red hot favourites to win this. Leading by 62 with only 3 wickets left - hard to see a 150 lead at that point unless we bowl really badly.

We are the Black Caps, total collapse is infinitely possible

All out an hour into the morning session.
We need 105 to win.
I really would love to see the openers dig in and see us home here.

Not a chance, they'll fold early and Amir with tear us apart with an 8-for.

I would like us to win the game without loss for a change, but I wouldn't be surprised if we limp home to victory

Double figures without loss. Astounding.
It won't last. Plenty of time for our collapse.
