I know how he feels.

[Damo]

Bad review surely

[ACT Crusader]

What a match aye.

[Chris]

We may have been saved by the light.

[Chris]

Brilliant game that’s why I love test cricket.

[sparky]

Match drawn.

[Damo]

Great test match.

I feel like we let a few tricks go with our slow batting last night and the delay in taking the new ball today.

2 draws but 2 very enjoyable games.

I think it’s a fitting result. We got some results with the ball for toiling away. But Pakistan were well served with some very good batting.

Neither team dominated

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.

@MajorRage said in NZ v Pakistan:

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.

I did my best guys, but it just wasn't enough. Sorry.

Agree completely Damo, Have really enjoyed the series, and am happy that test cricket can still get me interested.
And kind of proof that for all some say , draw is still a result that you can have in sport without it diminsihing game.

Yeah, it’s odd isn’t it? 5 days but still a draw and yet compelling. There is much dullness in Test Cricket but at its best, it is the best.

Of course it helps if you have two teams playing positively.

I hate ‘bad light’ as a reason to stop play.

If it’s pissing down fair enough, but bad light irks me to no end

I’m guessing you were a bowler

To label me a cricketer of any sort is very presumptuous
