I've always loved ol' thunder thighs. Were he not such a complete and utter prat I reckon he should've played 20 odd test matches by now.

As for my Avatar, like Scotty the Hotty before him, BFJ brings a unique set of physical assets to the test arena. I'll switch it the next time we find a player of similar presence. Of the current lot, none do, although I must Daniel Flynn does look rather unevolved. Oh Brainwave!

 

[Langeveldt]

checking in for an exciting night of test cricket no doubt.. What is the weather like?

 

[Atreyu]

Dunedin has Morning rain, then occasional Showers. So we should get some play in

It's **** off sunny outside. Can't see any rain clouds from my window, but it's often really sunny until about 10 before the rain clouds roll in. Will keep you all updated.

Why on earth does cricinfo say the game starts at noon?

 

[slugger]

maybe somewhere in the summer they could fit in a game between the black caps and a selected team from the the top 20 mvp list...

Long summers in Dunedin - there's usually plenty of light until 9pm-9.30pm. So it's one way of dragging in the after-work crowd.

I'd imagine the game starts late, so to encourage a big crowd to come in for the evening session after work.

Just heard on Radio Sport from Wads that Oram is out and Mills will come in

 

[freckleslol]

just heard on the radio Oram ruled out because of his calf, Mills comes in

Thats dissapointing news. Would like to see Franklin in his position in the batting order now.

 

[Woodster]

Big blow for NZ, big blow.

 

[NZTailender]

Interesting to say the least.

How
McIntosh
Flynn
Taylor
Ryder
Franklin
McCullum
Vettori
Mills
Gillespie
O'Brien

?

 

[freckleslol]

I hope so, the idea of Franklin at 9 was a little ridiculous

 

[Woodster]

Will Franklin really bat at 6 ?

I would switch McCullum with Franklin I think.

 

[NZTailender]

Wouldn't be surprised if McCullum goes in at 6 though. If he plays like he did in his last innings, it'd be sweet.
