T20 World Cup NZ v PAK

No Quarter

Wide?

That was really pathetic. 6 wickets in hand. What a fucking joke.

Why not a wide when it was far enough away from the stumps?

Because the batsman moved his spot to outside off

I'd nearly be tempted not to bowl Ferguson at all on this pitch.

Kane might have to bowl some

No Quarter

Umpire's didn't call a no ball and a wide at the end there, that's pretty costly in a T20

I think it’s a lot harder than it looks out there. We won’t know until we bowl I guess.

Expected more from Neesham. Feel we are 15 short.

Damo

Probably not enough. We need to bowl well. We certainly can defend this with a bit of luck. Hopefully it swings for an extended period.

That only matters if it is close to the stumps. That one wasn't

Gonna need to bowl awesome and every catch is going to have to stick

Bones

Happy enough, I think that's defendable.

No Quarter

About 15 runs short of where we needed to be. Gonna need early wickets.

agree, I dont think it is that easy to bat out there either..plus Pakistan bowling and fielding was impressive

we can do the same, just need to execute

KiwiMurph

Pakistan did very well.

Lost the toss and restricted us to under 155.

Got Allen and Phillips cheaply.

Brilliant fielding.

Now let's see the second innings.

I agree. Tight bowling in the powerplay.

I wouldn't bowl Ferg in the powerplay overs

bayimports

their top order has not been great, hopefully we get some swing and some Boult magic to start

I assume we have Sodhi in the team as well as Santner? Might as well not watch the 2nd half, we've as good as won. Daryl can roll a few over too if he wants.

Second innings Black Caps game plan:

Reverse jinxes required at regular intervals
Send @booboo to bed if Pakistan get off to a fast start

canefan

What's with this pitch? Did they ship it over from Lahore?
