Black Caps v 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.

@Virgil said in Black Caps v Pakistan:
@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.

Abbas finding out about the highs and lows of cricket at this level.
What a contrast from a few days ago.
Not a huge amount of batting in the shed. Important partnership !
Based on our start he couldn't really go hard. Giving his wicket away cheaply would have been a silly move. He's got runs on the board which at this stage of the game, is most important.
