NZ v Pakistan 2022/23
-
Big schedule of domestic Internationals this Summer. The prospect of England coming doesn't fill me with confidence, and prior to that playing a battle hardened Pakistan side eager to atone for their series whitewash to the same England side. No Bangles to try and pad the stats either

We’re at home and the wheels HAVE to fall off the English team at some stage.
Still this is coming from a guy who confidently predicted a 3-0 whitewash over there and did a classic Sean Fitzpatrick and picked fuck all Englishmen in a combined XI so what do I know ?

This will be a clash of the almost cellar dwellers:

Poor old Black Caps.
I bet Xmas in Pakistan absolutely sux arse.
Tough to tell from this pic.
What time do things kick off ? Would love some cricket on in the background while I try and be productive and shift some Xmas lard.
I had no idea both teams were coming off FOUR consecutive losses each.
Our batting order looks very strong ( Bracewell at eight ? This implies he’s there as a frontline bowler ) Bowling looks incredibly weak without Boult and Jamieson but then again spin will be handy. Nice to have a guy who took ten in an innings there to bolster things.

Nichols at four and Mitchell at five. God help us.

He’s not there. Need to ask Allah.

I think they’re backing Nicholls to come good. Young just hasn’t shown enough but I thought he’d be in opening with Conway at four personally. Nicholls career trajectory is sliding towards the Astle/McMillan/Styris bracket, you know, good without being great. ( Latham too to be honest )
Will be interesting to see if Johns son can continue the incredible work he did in England. I suspect that was a freak occurrence and normal transmission will resume.

Yeah I suspect John's son has over achieved so far, but happy to be proven wrong. I rate Astle etc ahead of Nicholls. IIRC the purple patch Nicolls went through coincided with him being dropped a dozen times per innings.

Yeah Nichols ability to bust out a mammoth innings when he’s on the verge of being dropped and nudging the test average over 40 again can’t be ignored !

Didn’t realise there was no crowd. Big adjustment needed from watching the Oz game at the G
Good batting, for one
Jinx is on me!
