[Cricket] Pakistan vs NZ First Test

[jakarta]

Think their mystery spinner has been found out.

Abrar Ahmed 63-7-191-3

Kiwis 565 -6 K.Williamson 163 no

 

[Questions]

3 wickets and 3 an over ?

 

[jakarta]

Now 579-6, I don't think the Kiwis are planning to bat a second time, most likely a high scoring draw but Pakistan batting has been a bit crap lately...

3 wickets and 3 an over ?

Shipped over 190 runs and been basically been knocked out of the attack. I wouldn't be ENTIRELY happy if I were his skipper.

Mind you Nauman Ali hasn't done much better.

Well done, he's just got a Pfieffer!

Safaraz has had a nightmare behind the stumps. In the NZ innings he's caught two that were edged but no one appealed for and he's also dropped two.

Nice Michele for him,

He's up against one of the all time great batters, on a slow pitch.
And Latham's up there as well as far as quality players are concerned.

Guaranteed draw barring a spectacular implosion by either team, shows how well we did to force results

I've just come back from Pakistan after watching the Multan and Karachi tests.
It was probably the best tour I've been on in 17 years of following England. Everyone was so friendly and kind and the hotels and food were top notch. It was also very affordable.
England return to Pakistan in Oct' 24 for three test matches. I'd highly recommend it.

Well played Kane Williamson another double ton.

Nice Michele for him,

Cost him 205 runs to get them....

 

[Questions]

Cost him 205 runs to get them....

Bowled a few overs though. His average was 3.02 per over. 5 wickets at an average of 40 is pricey though.

 

[jakarta]

First wicket goes
83 -3 still 91 runs behind

 

[jakarta]

And the prize wicket of Ali Baba, 103-4 this is only going one way.

 

[jakarta]

I might be wrong, slowly digging themselves out of this...

161-4

 

[jakarta]

207-7, Imam goes for 96, surely that is it for Pakistan?

 

[severnside gull]

If they can bat on for another hour………

I imagine most thought the same after Englands first innings during the recent first test ….and then

 

[Scappa]

Declaration by Pakistan leaving NZ needing 138 from about 15 overs. Could be a fun last hour or so
