Super Eight

[andmark]

I'd like to thank Dan Vettori for reminding me that we can actually play cricket...but can he do it for more than one over?

Shane Bond?

Shane Bond?

Isn't playing, that's one reason we are getting spanked.

 

[Matt79]

I think the fact that Styris's deliveries actually go so slow they go backwards is confusing Hayden...

 

[Loony BoB]

Ditto Oram, before anyone suggests we turn to him

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

These two batsmen now batting sensibly by milking the bowlers and waiting for the next Power-Play.

I say let them wait. Even if they wait till the 40th over

 

[Matt79]

Gillespie to score an unbeaten century to lead us to victory. Clearly, this is what he's been selected for.

You're thinking of JASON Gillespie, I'm afraid...

Fleming could always bowl himself, he does have an ODI bowling average of under 30.

 

[pup11]

A master-class in odi batting on display atm by these two, England better watch this.

ahah what does he bowl ? medium ?

Good question. His ODI bowling average has been 28 for as long as I've been watching cricket.

Took a wicket against Namibia in the 2003 World Cup, pretty sure he was bowling medium. Doesn't seem to have the co-ordination to bowl spin.

Think you will find it was against The Netherlands at the 1996 World Cup

EDIT: Don't think we have ever played Namibia

Doubt his bowling would've been much use on this track either, probably just end up getting slaughtered like Mason and Franklin.

Apologies, it was to. One MMC Schewe, stumped by Lee Germon. No idea where I got the Namibia idea from

"Time for drinks" and I instantly imagine eleven NZ'ers guzzling down the hard stuff.

 

[Matt79]

Mark Taylor channelling Scaly here re: Styris' bowling...

 

[Scaly piscine]

This game is an example of why ODIs suck. You've got two batsmen smashing it and then they're reduced to this milking singles rubbish because of the rules and format.

The way Franklin was bowling, he's probably half pizzled already.

 

[_Ed_]

50 for Hayden, fantastic innings.

 

[Perm]

Nice half century to Hayden, well played.
