The most mediocre side in history playing the dumbest side on the planet.
Gawd your boring :yawn: Why not save yourself the effort of typing and just copy and paste the same post everytime NZ play Eng in ODI's because you always essentially say the same thing.

Must have has a tough life to view the world the way you clearly do. Sad really

Was expecting some maturity on either side... good to see it now. Bloody difficult to say "I were wrong". At least hatchets are buried now.

Still, I look forward to McCullum's analogising of this with the Murali & Mpofu runouts.
I honestly reckon Vettori would have done the right thing, but agree with you if McCullum was skipper, he would have likely done the same thing as Collingwood

Was about to post the same thing. This was supposed to start at 7, will it still be on for an hour do you think? It'll muck up the schedules somewhat.

I so want a DVD of the first World Cup. Might go on ebay now and try and find one.


Anyone know why it's taking about three minutes to post a reply on here at the moment?

How did Styris look anyone? I hear he was dropped 3 times and quite frankly he's looked awful for mine ever since the 2007 WC

He actually looked pretty good when he wasn't getting dropped, TBH. He offered a few chances but hit the ball out of the middle more times than not and looked to be generally seeing it well after his first over or so.

It obviously wasn't a great innings but it's the sort of thing you often see a batsman get back into touch from.

Actually search google video as opposed to you tube. I was suprised at some of the gems I found there. Some highlights of both the 75 & 79 WC's from memory.

Still don't see the big fuss over the run out.

Elliot got in the way of Sidebottom, fell over. How is it different to if Elliot fell over of his own accord? Any injury he may of or may not have got is irrelevant because it didn't effect him getting run out.

Batsmen aren't allowed to obstruct catches by running into fielders, so how are run outs any different?

Just tough luck as far as I'm concerned.

It'd be different if that was Mohammad Asif knocking-over Collingwood and Shoaib Malik upholding the appeal, and everyone knows it. Especially if it resulted in England losing the game.

Its no suprise you'd see it that way. Its probably similar to the way you cheat those old ladies at bingo on Saturday nights :laugh:

Precisely, and I'd bet any money SP would moan & groan for years in that instance
