**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[thierry henry]

Almost did a CH series job with the ball.

He wasn't the only one

ftr I think he was unlucky with the ball and lucky with the bat in equal measure. Either way I don't think he definitively proved to be a disgrace.

For what it's worth I was surprised to find he bowls a respectable 130kph plus.

Good news guys.

The women are playing so we could be set for a game

Diamanti did ok. Certainly made more of an impact than Cumming.

I only just realized that a Kiwi owns this site.

He didn't have much to do to beat a duck and a dropped catch tbf.

FTR, he did averagely the other night, but to me I don't think he has what it takes, he may have improved in the last season or so with Reeve teaching him how to be a, er, international bits and pieces player, but the selection of an average domestic medium pacer that can slog a bit ahead of others (his CD team mate Thompson is a better bowler and batsman for a start) is baffling. Also, if (God forbid) he plays 20 ODIs, I'd expect a >20 bat average and a 35< bowling average with an economy rate 4.50<.

If he proves me wrong then well done to the bloke, Daniel Flynn is making a habit of it, the little bastard.

I'd take that down the order any day.

We did our best to get rid of him.

I figure if we're going to win we might as well outnumber the opposition as well.

Scaly Piscine could be umpiring you know.

It stopped raining an hour ago.

 

[Days of Grace]

The women seem to be ploughing through their match alright, so here's hoping.

 

[Perm]

So we're looking good for a full game?

I wouldn't have Vettori there he barly got a wicket, Johnson bowled poorly, Ferguson didn't do all that much.

 

[Athlai]

Johnson was Australia's best bowler IMO.

Reckon we might fit in a full match tonight, the rain has stopped.

Johnson was Australia's best bowler IMO.

Does that mean he was good?

Ferguson in for Hopes, the guy averaged 100 for the series. You don't really need a part timer if you've already got Elliott.

Hes no Kyle Mills but he went alright.
