    Might as well make a new thread for this series.

    Word from Wellington is that it's very windy but no rain. ODI at the Basin is a throwback!

    New Zealand ODI squad: Kane Williamson (capt), Todd Astle, Doug Bracewell, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, Martin Guptil, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Colin Munro, Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor.

    Pakistan ODI squad: Sarfraz Ahmed (capt&wk), Azhar Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Haris Sohail, Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Aamer Yamin, Rumman Raees

    @gunner

    Unfortunately the new software doesn't merge ... you can split topics but for some reason there's no merge function.

    So I'll quote your post and lock that one

    @gunner said in Black Caps v Pakistan:

    I thought that since the muppet show have been, dealt to and now gone, we best start a new thread for what is sure to be a more exciting series against Pakistan.

    Expect an XV of something like:

    Guptill
    Munro
    Kane
    Taylor
    Latham
    Nicholls
    Santner
    Astle/Henry (depending on pitch conditions)
    Southee
    Ferguson
    Boult

    Looking forward to it. Will be interesting to see how we do with both bat and ball as we won't have it all our own way like we did against the Windies.

    What is the weather doing down there?

    @Gunner BTW I think you mean an XI ...

    Talk to me about Astle folks. I'm a fan of Ish Sodhi. What's Astle got that Ish doesn't?

    Further to this. Great to see an ODI at the basin. Better a full basin than a 25% ( even this might be generous ) full Cake tin.

    Amir is quick. Would be pushing 150 with Aus radars. Batsmen going to have to work harder this series.

    I'm a fan of Ish as well. Astle has performed though so pretty tough to drop, and offers more with the bat I think.

    I suspect it's been mentioned previously but the Pakis do seem to have a disproportionately high number of left arm seamers over the years.

    All the way back as far as I can remember to Safraz Nawaz and Azeem Hafeez (or Hafeez Ahmoff as Billy Birmingham dubbed him).

    Hows the deck?

    What sort of score are the comms predicting?

    Very early days, but just looking at he scoreboard alone so far, I'd guess 320 might be on?

    Was just about to say Munro was on 30 with a strike rate of 130 and only hit 3x boundaries...

    Nek minnit boom 4, boom 4, boom 6.

    Took a wee diversion to Statsguru.

    A list of all ODI left arm pace bowlers shows:

    • Pakiatan 20 of 102 total pace bowlers (19.6%)
    • World 123 of 1204 total (10.2%)

    So basically double.

    That was an awesome innings from Munro. Got the run rate going against a decent attack, which takes pressure off Guppy and Kane.

    So how does it work with the bails off for run outs and bowled? Is any contact enough or is it up to the umpire to make a call?

    Guppy and Kane reaping the benefits of Munro's innings. 149/1 after 26 with these two now finding their timing.

    Need to go at 8’s from here to get to 320.
    I think we need all of that.

    If Kane bats late into this innings we’ll get there.

    There seems to be no interest in going for a score like that as of yet...

    Time to put the hammer down surely?

    Watching Kane at his efficient best makes me even more incredulous that resting him for home games is the best thing for NZ cricket this summer.

    He is a joy to watch at his job

    Reckless but not intentional, yellow should suffice.

    Not watching but I assume he leapt into the air , danced around and kissed the badge on his helmet followed by pointing his bat at the dressing room?
