Hogg would really have been a good option to have in this match. It is very strange why he has been overlooked so often this summer. It could be either the selectors have already decided that he's assured a WC spot & want to see how White & the others part-spinners operate or they suddenly don't rate him anymore.

On Tait 160, damnnnn the man is kicking it yo..

Tait's been much more accurate today. Gone wicketless obviously, but a huge improvement from the last game. It's this sort of bowling that has made him successful in domestic one dayers.

Excellent, Tait only has a couple of overs left. He's been solid today.

Taylor is off to a good start - being a new batsmen, I thought he'd take a bit to get his eye in, but he's doing pretty good.

 

[_Ed_]

Asad Rauf seems to be quite the disciplinarian.

 

[Craig]

Oram in next?

That said the likes of Styris and Taylor can smack it a mile if needed, and McCullum needs no introduction.

 

[_Ed_]

I'd still go for Styris myself.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yes, only 1 over left after this one for Tait. NZ have taken a liken to Clark and especially Johnson so I like the thought of them bowling at the death

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Id like to see McCullum in. I think his runnning will be a key at the death

 

[Craig]

Stuart Clark being economical in ODIs, this doesn't happen often...

I struggle to find excuses for the selectors not selecting Hogg, he continually preforms for Australia, and has a Wrongun which is rarely picked by any batsmen.

 

[Craig]

What a straight drive.

Vincent should get a kick up the you-know-where if he doesn't get a ton, unless he gets out to a freak catch/ball/run out/bad umpire call.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Great Shot!!

 

[pasag]

Anyone else see the irony of England and their fans backing Australia here with Australia now having a fair chance of losing.

 

[_Ed_]

Tait's going to finish with superb figures in what might be a pretty big total, especially considering the fact that he bowled during the power plays.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

Good, this is Tait's last over. He'd be heard to get away at the death.

 

[pasag]

And Tait!

 

[_Ed_]

Big wicket!

Perhaps the selectors are really just letting the youngsters have a go in these dead rubbers.
