NZ-PAK-BD Tri-series | New Zealand v Pakistan | Christchurch | 14 October 2022 | New Zealand innings

NZ better off opening with Phillips or Chapman

Conway is a vibe killer
 
No way they’re playing John Cena’s song :))) [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]
 
Impressive speeds. Pakistan has pace bowling that can more than overcome their batting deficiency.
 
KW is going at as good as a SR as Allen, and doesn’t look like throwing his wicket away like that hack.

I will stay away from the Babar and Rizwan debate, as it’s tiring to discuss in every thread.

Naseem’s line and length have been clearly thrown off by Allen’s onslaught, and the pitch is an absolute belter. Even Babar has innings where he strikes similar to this, Williamson is generally a tuk tuk of the highest order, and he’s proven this throughout his career
 
Last two overs pegged them back a bit

Good time for spinners
 
I remember few years ago we had some trundlers opening the bowling. Good to finally have some 140+ guys back in the mix.
 
Nothing better than to be asked to bat first on a belter in a final
 
This Honkong boy Chapman is vastly over-rated. Made a slow 50 against India. Averages 3 against England All his other runs came against UAE and scotland. How the heck this guy gets ahead of Martin Guptill T20 legend
 
Wasim jr is such a chilled out guy

It’s like he is playing with headphones on

Match was lost right there chasing 180 plus in a series decider is Pakistan’s weakness expect the usual below par batting performance.
 
Not too bad for Pakistan - considering how things were going earlier.

5.4
Haris Rauf to Glenn Phillips, no run, 143kph and a thick chunk of Glenn Phillips' bat has flown off after hitting the bottom of the bat. This good length delivery just outside off, is pacey and Phillips loses one of his favorite bats as the ball thuds right into the base of the bat
 
NZ have 3 left handers who can hurt our spinners to come

Looks like chacha might have to bowl
 
Imagine the rona dhona if this was Pakistan

NZ 72/2 (8.3) CRR: 8.47

The current run rate is fine scoring 85-90 in the first 10 is a decent score the lower order can score 50-60 of the last 5 with less pressure on.

Difference is that they have other batters who can score. Pakistan doesn't.
 
Guys like PHillips can rapidly make up for their slow starst. 10 runs 10 balls. Next 8 balls 16 runs
 
Scores over 80 Rizwan & Baba have to put on another masterclass on how not to expose Masood & Ifty to international bowlers.

Asif Nawaz Shadab are all capable of scoring 50 of the last 5 the problem is the opening batsmen get exposed every time when they play an important match against better bowling attacks check the recent history for comfirmation.
 
Philips is probably the quickest runner I have seen between the wickets.
 
Surely Babar knows what his team is capable of when putting the opposition into bat in a final

He’s lost the match right there clearly over rating his top orders capability out of his depth in the recent past in big matches.
 
Biased Nz commys going on like serial chokers Nz are Clive Lloyds windies & taylors Aussies all rolled in one !!
 
Still don't know how Honkong born Mark Chapman with average record managed to find a spot ahead of other domestic new zealand players.
