Pakistani Tour of New Zealand, Dec-Feb 2010/11

[Iridium]

Almost immediately the runs have dried up. 8 runs in the last 5 overs.

This is so frustrating, I think we will really need at least 280+ to be competitive here. Guptill is the most frustating, always looks really good but then gets out really softly. Jamie How how about next time you play your pull shot along the ground...

----------

I think we just have to hope for an explosive last 10 like Pakistan had in the last game, although will be pretty hard against their bowlers. Won't be too many half volleys or full tosses on offer.

----------

Thats it, I have absolutely had it. Stuff watching this.

 

[Chewie]

This running is terrible

Don't think about taking risky runs for a bit while we rebuild

 

[Iridium]

Oh dear. Everything is going quite wrong.

 

[Insomniac]

If we get McCullum, its all over for NZ

 

[Iridium]

NZ are going to need a monumental partnership to drag themselves of this hole.

If we get McCullum, its all over for NZ

I think it'll be Vettori you need, not McCullum.

 

[ferg512]

I didn't think it was possible to get worse after losing 11 games in a row, but turns out it has. I would say well done to Pakistan, but they haven't done much really the batting has been woeful on one of the best batting pitches you will ever see.

And I think the running between the wickets could definitely be as a result of this rotation crap.

I thought you stopped watching .

Pakistan have done nothing, if anything they've been poor with three misfields and a missed run out.
It's been all about a shocking batting display by our top order.

Technically I'm not, listening to radio now

----------

Anyone else want McCullum back at the top of the order?, although in saying this he'll probably end up getting a 100 today or something...

Nope. I like him down at 6/7. If he was opening, he'd already be out and we'd be 5 down with only Vettori to come. At least with McCullum lower down, we have a slim chance of putting some semblance of a total on the board.

 

[CG123]

I've always been a fan of him down the order, he still hasn't had a platform to work from, and doesn't again today.

 

[aussie1st]

I also like McCullum down the order, he feels more like a finishing type of player in the Hussey mould with the ability to hit big when set. I won't forget the last time he was there against us and watching his ramp shot even in the T20 he showed hes one good finisher.

 

[Insomniac]

McCullum is taking the game away from us =/

And the umpiring gets worse, 5 wides given when it should have been 4 leg byes.

----------

GOT EMMMMM

McCullum goes, NZ all out under 200 now hopefully

 

[Iridium]

Don't worry he's out now
