Black Caps v Pakistan

Cyclops

Chapman loves Pakistan. Shame he can't play like this against everyone else. He looks so good when he's batting well too.

@Cyclops he looked world class tonight. Placement off the charts

I'm getting lagered up in the stands. Good night out, despite the shit result for the women

Gunner

I know it’s Eden Park with postage stamp boundaries, but our bowling is trash!

Too many freebie half volleys or half trackers

Gunner

I repeat, trash.

Pakistan have this wrapped up with 6 overs to go, run rate required down to a run a ball, 9 wickets in hand.

Cyclops

Pretty tough day for both the men and the women. Both would have probably felt like they had a total that was defendable at the break, but both were probably 50+ runs short.

Some ugly bowling figures there, only Neesh going for under 10.

Am absolute hiding

Thank the lord Jamieson won't play in the remainder of the T20 series. He should never have been picked to play International T20 matches in the first place. He is a Test Match & ODI bowler.

Are you talking about the player who has figure of 3/8 off 4 overs in his previous game.
Sure he had a shitter at Eden Park every bowler did, with short boundaries that create 6 and 4s from miss hits, hard on all bowlers at that ground.
I am not writing off Jamieson in 20/20s he moves the ball both ways has height so generates awkward bounce and can hit a decent length

Cyclops

220/6 off our 20. Weird innings, got totally bogged down through the 10-16 over mark. Not sure if that's good bowling, or Allen and Seifert playing well. Feels like we're either about 30 ahead of par or 30 behind.

I just want him to stay fit for the longest format.

Jamieson, O’Rourke and Henry ( can’t believe I’m saying this but his improvement has been immense ) at their best are as good as any pace trio in the game

He is injury prone as it is I just don't believe we should risk playing him in this hit and giggle garbage. Save him for the longer formats.

Yep totally agree it is an exciting trio if they stay fit they could win us a lot of games,
They have everything as a combo
Pace, bounce move the ball both ways.
Fingers crossed they all get on the park together consistently.

Nah don’t agree he learns a lot playing 20/20
good way to build up just 4 overs at a time,
Builds a strength base for that back.

Good win in the end, so I guess we were well ahead of par although I think some of that was scoreboard pressure.

No Quarter

Silly to give MOTM to Allen. It's a batsmen's game, multiple of our batsmen scored similar runs, the difference between the two sides is 4/20 from 4 overs. Those figures will win you most T20s and those early wickets ended Pakistan's chase before it started. Allen said in the interview he didn't deserve it.

That said, there are not many players as exciting as Allen to watch when he gets going like that.

Was this game stopped three overs in so the Pakistani Team could break a fast?
That's new!!
