Black Caps v Pakistan

@ACT-Crusader said in Black Caps v Pakistan:

Brilliant from Mitchell. Made the ground, slide on the right angle, save the boundary and then a good throw.

Not just about the runs saved either, between that effort and the direct hit earlier (not him and not out), it puts the batsmen in 2 minds when they're thinking about taking on an arm and the like

[Gunner]

@voodoo doesn’t matter when they send 3 of the first 4 balls of the next over flying to or over the boundary.

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful hitting from Pakistan. Have timed it really well tonight.

[akan004]

Hardly any variation. Southee aside, very few slow balls have been bowled.

Yea which is bloody strange.

Phillips pointed it out in his post innings interview that their tactic would be to bowl a lot of slower balls.

It was obvious to every man and his blind dog but they just haven’t done it.

[KiwiMurph]

That's a weird delivery from Neesham with that field.

[Damo]

Neesham into the attack. Uh oh.

[voodoo]

We got this

[voodoo]

Apparently "its a crucial time".

Wild.

[ACT Crusader]

Mitchell even taking catches off throws from the crowd.

[Gunner]

How strange to see another ball sailing over the square leg boundary.

Aside from Southee the bowling has been so far below par tonight it’s not funny.

[KiwiMurph]

@Gunner You also have to credit the hitting.

Rizwan on for the ton [jinx alert]

[voodoo]

So sloppy. The overthrow, the wide. Amateur hour

[KiwiMurph]

@voodoo game is over by now anyway

Yeah. To your point on hitting, that was a great shot off a not-too-bad delivery

[Donsteppa]

Boult has dished up some pies tonight.

The margin of error at McLean Park is so small given the short boundary. Pressure on the bowlers to get it right or it usually goes the distance.
