I love it how Mark Taylor goes "Somewhere like Wellington, was it?", "Strangled down the leg side, was it?".

Anything to make yourself sound like you are guessing when its probably right in front of you...

imo he actually was guessing, cos he was wrong

Fulton with the pull for 6, one of his signature shots imo even though he is a little dicey against the short stuff

I live in Japan......

Healy struggling to cope with the idea or replaying yourself in after a break, and that a fall of a wicket can reign things in a little.

anyone old enough to remember the way he batted would understand

Yeah, maybe.

Yip, classic Fulton.

 

[Nate]

Hauritz unable to take a proper wicket. (face)

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Muahahah

Fulton to make 200 now, just to make Hayden's 100th all the more memorable.

 

[Athlai]

thx 4 the drop Haydos.

 

[Alysum]

DROPPED! damn that would have been 3 wkts to Hauritz... take that those who do not believe in him

Those who believed that batsmen couldn't get themselves out to him?

 

[Johnners]

Haydos rarely drops slips catches.

Hauritz bowling well enough it seems. Good on Ponting for backing him as well (y)

 

[thierry henry]

That would've been unbearable, Hauritz picking up another wicket due to his ability to not turn it ever

 

[thierry henry]

Chappelli defending Hayden by pointing out that the catch was physically impossible due to some numbers that he just made up

 

[Rant0r]

i reckon he's actually bowling quite well, it's drifting a mile, got a good arm ball as well, rips the (very) occassional one

certainly a better option than white, or casson at the moment who apparently has lost the plot

Don't underestimate the straightbreak.

Got one to turn a little bit earlier, bit of drift as well and Fulton almost gave a return catch.

 

[thierry henry]

Hauritz bowling well enough it seems.

Straight and slow imo.

Ryder and Redmond holed out, Fulton played a straight one down the wrong line. Doing nothing with the ball.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Chappelli defending Hayden by pointing out that the catch was physically impossible due to some numbers that he just made up

Yeah, made me laugh.
Was clutching at straws.

 

[Athlai]

If he's getting drift Vettori will be awesome. Shway.

 

[thierry henry]

Don't underestimate the straightbreak.

Daniel Vettori's signature ball
