Pakistan 8/39 chasing 250 in NZ.
What are the odds of that?

Ask the players.
Reckon theyâd know.
Geez thatâs an ugly scorecard for Pakistan.
Number 10 was the highest score with 16 and New Zealand only used 4 bowlers!
Good effort by the Pakis to get up over Kane Williamson by 1 run
South Africa v India on now, should be entertaining.
Really?
Can you give us an acceptable nickname?
I understand that the term youâre objecting toâŚis objectionable to some, although I also think itâs reasonable to understand when an abbreviation is being used rather than a slur.
Edit: Having said that. I wouldnât abbreviate âaboriginalâ, but then I wouldnât use the long form anymore, either.
Furgerson looks like a rubbish 20/20 player, struggles to score at a run a ball and usually struggles to get past 20.
Botha still chucks it
So does the bloke who plays for thunder (naib?) Itâs a shocking action, how does he get away with it
Paki is definitely problematic in england/UK, I think itâs a reasonable question to ask about its use here. I wouldnât.
Then again, gypsy isnât generally acceptable now either, but you apparently get away with it on here, in soccer threads - and someone was making genuine attempts to justify the general use of mongoloid and negro in the past few weeks.
Agreed!
Why not? My best mate is an aboriginal and thatâs the terms he prefers; despises âindigenousâ. Iâm not a fcking plant!
Because some donât like it.
Amd thereâs the rub. Itâs deeply offensive to some because of the origins of the word. It was used as a slur for a long time. Itâs as offensive as he âNâ word to a lot of Pakistanis.
Why? Do we need one? I call the Pakistan team the Pakistanis.
Because the majority donât like it.
As I said to Smythy password many moons ago, I dared him to call Michael Long abo to his face, as he would have ended up straight on his arsse.
So hambo, your mate is in a very small minority with accepting that name, no issues with black fella
Aussies like an abbreviation.
They like nicknames too.
Thereâs the Windies, the Poms, the KiwiisâŚ
Iâve got to laugh at Mark Waughâs nickname. Started off as Junior, now theyâre too lazy to even say that in full.
I resent the term Kiwi. I am neither small nor flightless
He prefers to be called aboriginal. I would never call him an abo. I wouldnât call him black fella either even though he calls me rich white guy. Hmm, I think the thread is a little off track. Whenâs the next test match?
