@number-10 said in Cricket - NZ vs Pakistan:
Smart stumping by Watling, Ajaz Patel has his second wicket, and Pakistan 195/7.
Only five of this Black Caps team was born in New Zealand. Is this the fewest ever for NZ in a test match?
Raval - born Gujarat, India
Watling - born Durban, South Africa
De Grandhomme - born Harare, Zimbabwe
Sodhi - born Ludhiana, India
Wagner - born Pretoria, South Africa
Patel - born Mumbai, IndiaCool stat. Once upon a time that would have invoked an involuntary (and never thought through),"you fucken what?".
Kane runs a happy ship. The bowling and most fielding has been all about persistence and concerted effort today and the Pakis haven't blown the game away like many in the past .
Tea with 2 wickets to get and every run is sacred, 72 runs deficit. New ball 1 over old
Good game, hopefully all hinging on our 2nd innings

Great comeback to only be trailing by 18 runs and one wicket after the first innings debacle - though we could really have done without Tom Latham getting bowled first ball.
Need our batsman all to do a lot better than they did in the first innings.

@chris-b tough marker, fair bit of reverse first ball up. I can't condemn a man on that ball. Then again Ish did what you describe to a similar next ball
I've just found over the years that people like Tendulkar, Lara, Williamson etc tend to receive a lot less unplayable balls than lesser batsmen!

Ross Taylor's turn to be a lesser batsman today

Were building along beautifully, then bang 3 wickets from nowhere.
From 30 for 2 to 44 for 4 effectively
Bj and Henry to save the weekend...

Useful work from BJ and Nicholls - they got us to nearly 150 ahead and four wickets down, but when Henry got out...well, there was another handy 3 from CdG and then the tail didn't wag.

Ha, I thought you meant wickets for a sec

Three quick wickets for the Kiwis, and there's a sniff. 40-0 become 48-3; Ajaz a wicked and Sodhi two.
Tense few overs coming up I hope

... and now 81/3. 95 more to win - possible, but unlikely to roll them. Will take a miracle.

Wagner gets Shafiq just before lunch.
130/4, 46 needed to win.
A couple of quick wickets after the break, we will have the slimmest bit of hope.

it's the heroic optimism of Black Caps fans that keeps us young.
