Black Caps v Pakistan

[KiwiPie]

Why when Sohail comes in do they immediately start bowling tripe? Just bowl a good length and he'll get out. He may just whack a couple over the top but Wagner medium paced half trackers give him a free hit.

Shit Pakistan don't travel well as I alluded to in a previous post or twenty.

This test is the BCs for the taking regardless of potentially shitty weather.

[Hooroo]

Yippee Skippy! We may get a full days play.

remember, campers, early kick this morning!

I've been impressed with Raval. Top score in the first innings, and some very good catches at slip. If he could just continue on, bye bye test Guppy.

Useless bastard is only averaging 73 - Bradman was 26 better than that! Though I suppose, if you add his and Guppy's averages together....

[No Quarter]

Crucial morning session here, if we get through relatively unscathed that will go a long way towards winning the match. Hoping to see Latham get some time in the middle.

[Chris B.]

@No-Quarter Got 'eem, yeeees!

[No Quarter]

@Chris-B I never said anything about Raval in particular, you were the one going on about his average, so I think between us we managed to get rid of him.

No doubt Latham will follow shortly...

I swear, if Latham or Williamson are out within the next 75 overs, No Quarter is as good as banned!

[No Quarter]

Psh, unbeaten hundreds to both of them coming right up...

The ultimate humiliator

Mohammad Amir to Latham, 2 runs, midwicket drops a tough catch diving to his left. Aslam drops the third catch of Amir in this Test. Shortish and outside off, Latham skips back and pulls in the air. Aslam throws himself to his left, the ball hits his left hand and bobbles out. Poor Amir, **and Aslam has been banished to the deep** 

@No-Quarter you were lucky!!

[Hooroo]

@No-Quarter only another 51 overs to negotiate. You are jinxing well today!

[No Quarter]

Awesome morning session in the end, lead of 152 with 9 wickets remaining. Plenty of work still to do, but advantage Black Caps.

[Hooroo]

@No-Quarter

Well thanks for your contribution to the fern!

KS Williamson c †Sarfraz Ahmed b Imran Khan 42 (88b 7x4 0x6) SR: 47.72 

We will see you tomorrow

[No Quarter]

[Hooroo]

Wait! What? You're still here!!!

My modding powers must be weakened with Latham's 50

you're fucked aye

[No Quarter]

Latham goes for a well made 80. Got the time in the middle that I requested...

What's the plan from here. A lead of 350ish and 40 minutes at them tonight would be ideal.

[Chris B.]

To be fair, when Williamson went out it was probably due to the TV commentators talking about what score we should declare at.

At effectively 230/3 with 44 overs left in the day it's reaching the point where you might start to think about setting up a declaration. I'd be starting to think about a batting order of CDG, Southee, Henry, Wagner, BJ, Santner.
