Black Caps v Pakistan
-
Having CdG there smacks of them picking an allrounder just for the sake of having an allrounder.
If they didn't want Neesham, I'd prefer they picked Henry.
BJ moved up to 6, Astle 7, Henry 8, Wagner 9, Southee 10, Boult 11.Still a decent lower order that can probably all pitch in to score any runs we miss out on by not having an allrounder.

We start with a pretty poor review. Hits the batsman above the knee-roll and clearly leg side-ish. I wouldn't have given it in real time and the DRS shows the ball missing the stumps.
We need to watch Steve Smith on reviews - almost never review an lbw - particularly never on line.
-
Not watching but reading Cricinfo's description of Southee's second over: 4 down leg, 1 short and 1 good delivery outside off.
That about sums up what he's been serving up the past couple of years.
Henry > Southee.

Does a guy who has taken 51 wickets in 44 first class matches have a good enough bowling record to be considered an "all rounder" ?
He does in New Zealand.

I've only been watching a little bit, but the commentators saying both Southee and Boult off their games - Southee particularly.
I was about to come and type that de Grandhomme looks innocuous, when he goes straight through Azhar, so lucky I didn't do that!

I wonder what sort of mug would say such a thing. Though I've yet to jinx Southee into form despite trying for months now. I'll keep working on it...

Nice work guys keep writing de Grandhomme off please.
Bloody part timer, that wicket was nothing more then beginners luck. Pakistan will dine out on his pies for the rest of the day.

You can claim credit for his second wicket.....
