NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

[ACT Crusader]

Patel with a good chase and dive to save a run.

[MajorPom]

I see the cricinfo commentators are still talking like NZ can win.

Surely that option is gone now? An extra 20 runs yesterday would have been gold dust. Timmy forgot that our bowling attack is the wrong side of average these days.

[MajorPom]

42 runs off 10 overs with 3 wickets in hand.

In theory, that should be pretty easy as long as the set batsman can keep the strike.

[Damo]

@MajorRage I think we can win but we need to be a bit brave. Take the new ball and let Sodhi bowl with it. Southee in tandem.

[ACT Crusader]

Love it from Southee.

We might get a bit of luck here

[Damo]

maybe sliding down?

[ACT Crusader]

Great decision

[ACT Crusader]

A Southee special with the new ball. Skidding on a moved slightly away from off.

[Damo]

That's dead out. Amazing what the new ball can do.

All of a sudden I am hoping the light remains good.

[Chris]

A twist in the tale keep Sarfraz of strike and things may happen.

Light looks fine.

[Chris]

Give him the single.

[Chris]

Not a fucking 4 of an edge

[ACT Crusader]

Argh worst outcome on the last ball of the over.

[ACT Crusader]

Nice quicker one from Ish.

[Chris]

Keep the field back now or he will hit over the top

[Chris]

No edge I reckon

[ACT Crusader]

A brilliant last ball from Ish. Was a playable length but had top spin on it.

[ACT Crusader]

Bracewell on.

Cometh the hour….

[Chris]

Easy now if they get to close bring quicks on both ends game over due to light.
