NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[MN5]

Righto, so far Sodhi and Patel are a waste of space, Mitchell gave Pakistan a few pies which was kind of him, Bracewell has massively overachieved and Southee and Wags might be on the verge of a breakthrough, which would be nice.

The leg spinner who bowls short long hops,full tosses and short pitched googlies,
He does not deserve his name spelt correctly until he can bowl leg spin.
In fact if NZ can not produce a decent spinner don’t pick crap options.

He’s better than Tamm Hrat and Mrak Ciarg though. Those guys were shit.

I do agree though, the way NZ shoehorns a spinner for the sake of having a spinner pisses me off to no end when so many of them are not up to it.

Yep, not sure of you read my edit but our depth is starting to get exposed when our top guys aren’t available.

Vettori must look at some of the options and shake his head in disgust.

Must be a decent young option in NZ they could pick and stick with him,Someone who can naturally spin the ball, control will come with time , I see young kids over here who can turn it sideways all the time,Control is lacking but they get picked as you can’t really teach a player to rip the ball it’s natural.
But you can help with the control factor with,volume bowling and a few tricks.

Let’s be honest, we were so lucky with Vettori for so long and I really wish he started his career ten years later to coincide with the class players who came after him.

But even then Vettori was a kiwi great…..not a genuine world class great.

Didn’t really spin the ball Vettori , clever bowler used changes of pace and angles really well.
He understood how to exploit any flaw in a batting technique.
With 4 of the test playing nations in the sub continent now you need decent spinners,as there will be a lot of test’s played there in the future.

Yep but we’re playing in a country that has produced Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar. All varying degrees of absolute class and better than anything the other three have produced. I think Timmy and Wags need to step up too.

Yea I agree they do,There is a truckload of young quicks still coming through their system even now.

I wonder how the fern will cope with Southee if he gets out cheaply and “irresponsibly”

His first test innings as captain will be compulsory viewing.

( says someone without sky and who will be in bed most likely )

The thing about Southee is that even when his batting fails he still has his bowling to fall back on.

[Canes4life]

Latham and Conway very solid with the bat thus far, Pakistan opting to utilise spin for most of the third session.

Conway is 54 off 95, Latham 38 off 73

NZ 96/0 and trail by 342

[Damo]

It's not easy batting out there but these two are going well. Some balls are staying low and others are coming through normally.

I think we need to bat big in this innings because we wouldn't want to be chasing too much in the fourth innings.

[Higgins]

@Damo Have you given up on an innings victory already?

[Damo]

@Higgins said in NZ v Pakistan:

Absolutely not. The game plan from here is to bat another day and a half and bowl Pakistan out without having to bat again.

The question is whether we can achieve that though.
