Black Caps v Pakistan

@KiwiMurph said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
Was cool to see captain Bracewell send Abbas in ahead of him
Abbas is good to watch
yep, nice swagger about him. Looks very exciting and confident. His innings was vital in getting over 300 given others failed.
Bugger that he holed out on 52 and didn't end up 58 not out but he still looked pretty pleased with his efforts.
His Dad looked a pretty useful bowler at FC level in pakistan ( thanks cricinfo, looked unlucky not to get a call up for Pakistan )

That's a phenomenal total given our rocky start. I'm always nervous after a score like that that we squandered good conditions early, but we'll find out soon.
I should go look at Chapman's split Vs Pakistan and everyone else, it feels like all his runs come against them.

Average of 41 vs them vs 39 everyone else.
first big score against them, nothing over 50 prior to this.

At this stage of his career Abbas looks like a player who can give you a small number of overs bowling in limited overs formats rather than a genuine allrounder

So according to BC selectors a fully fledged all rounder then

Yeah I feel like we're in more trouble than it looks on the scorecard, since Abbas (or another part timer) has to bowl about a quarter of the remaining overs.
I don't know what the selectors are thinking - maybe he bowled more in the one day or plunket shield, but when I watched him play T20 his bowling was very much handy 6th option rather than core bowler.

Babar Azam has an extraordinary record in this form of the game. Getting him is key. Bowling options are looking a bit light.

Fuck i gotta stop checking the score on cricinfo, been in twice and each time we lost a wicket.

@canefan cheers, makes sense now.
Son Mitch = Great
Dad Mitch = Cockwomble who didn't pick CC for the 2003 RWCsome reason i was assuming Bad Mitch was Satnav (who i know the fern loves very much)

Satnav was not liked, but after his heroics in India he is reborn

BCs now 102/4 off 17 overs. Bracewell and Abbas will need to form a partnership here to ensure we aren't bowled out for a miserable total.
