First T20 is Friday night at Eden Park.

Mitch Santner captain for game one, which includes none of our test players.

Game one will be a good test of our depth.

Some really decent players there, long gone are the days of loads of bits and pieces players.

Nice start Duffy.

Already has shown more than Bennett.

[Bovidae]

Duffy must think this international cricket gig is easy.

[Gunner]

Excellent start Duffy, really helped along by some suicidal Pakistani batting.

Has Tickner has got quicker, or I have just not ever noticed how quick he can get it through? He was in the mid 140s the last couple balls in that over.

[Gunner]

And Sodhi picks up the 5th. Pakistan are determined to self destruct.

Cut it out, I’m strictly talking about the cricket!!!

[KiwiMurph]

Holy shit

[Gunner]

Unlucky!

[ARHS]

Best non catch I have seen

[Mokey]

Duffy deserved that, magnificent effort. Fingernail brush.

[KiwiMurph]

Good 4 overs from Santner.

[MN5]

Pakistans captain playing a decent knock.

He also almost has a really funny name.

[Gunner]

Great catch Sodhi!

That could be the difference between chasing 140 or 160

[Kruse]

What the fuck is a Duffy? Where did he come from?
And which awkward TV teenager character does he most resemble?

I was wondering if it was a non-teenager, but rather something like early Chuck, or early Jim(?) from seppo-Office... but nah, it's somebody else... bugging the shit out of me.

[KiwiMurph]

Pakistan bat deep don't they. Great fightback.

[nzzp]

@KiwiMurph personally, I'm stoked to see our bowlers hitting 140's. It's ridiculous, but I'll take it

[KiwiMurph]

@nzzp yeah no pie chuckers out there like Bennett is pleasing.

[nzzp]

@KiwiMurph mmm, pie
