Black Caps v Pakistan

@Crazy-Horse said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
When did the umpire stop holding the bowler's hat, jumper and glasses? Only noticed it this season.
This year due to Covid.
@Godder cheers. I was worried someone was going to say they haven't held them since the 80's!

I vaguely remember Lance Cairns playing, but no clear memory of his bowling. I gather he was another 80's bowler who could get the ball to talk on occasions.
About now Pakistan are very happy with their first innings score, especially having been 83/4 at one stage.

He has more lives than a cat, but he knows how to make the most of them.

Supposedly, although it's disputed whether he actually said it.
Apparently in
stuff I stole from Redditmy lengthy research about 2021 and cricket, the only player with exactly 2021 test runs is Mark Greatbatch. -
I vaguely remember Lance Cairns playing, but no clear memory of his bowling. I gather he was another 80's bowler who could get the ball to talk on occasions.

Sub 120kph but huge in swing (especially with the white ball at night).

In terms of a NZ cricket player ( or any cricket player for that matter ) whose aura exceeds his returns I can’t think of anyone who comes close to Lance Cairns.

You'd look at him nowadays and wonder how he managed to make to First Class level as a bowler.
For those who can't remember Lance think a burlier version of Chris Harris, strangely similar action, about the same pace, similar in swing.
But even in the Young Gun days you wouldn't have picked Harris as a specialist bowler. He was primarily a batsman.
Lance could take wickets though. Took a couple of 7fers, including bowling us to victory in England for the first time.

And whilst typing that Kane roars into the 90s (including scraping one over slips ... but we'll ignore that due to the magnificence of the on drives).
@booboo and now 103

I’d love to see how many balls Kane took for his 2nd 50, seemed very quick.
3 in 3 games now isn’t it for the King.

The commentators said the second 50 came in 35 balls.
