***Official India in New Zealand***

Can see Elliott using up a whole heap of deliveries too TBH

I can't imagine Elliot will bat, unless we lose quite a few wickets. I reckon Oram, Mills and McGlashan may well come in ahead of him.

Not really. You could tell the plan was to just see out the first ten, get the eye in, then start to push. Smart cricket.

Ah okay. I'm at uni, so just following on Cricinfo and the posts in this thread. Posts here suggested that India were bowling well and NZ couldn't get them away, and then suddenly I look at Cricinfo and NZ are travelling at 6rpo. Felt like from nowhere, but I guess (from your post) the openers just played it smart.

Digging themselves in a bit of a hole now though.

Haha, ridiculous LBW imo.

 

[Bahnz]

**** the standard of umpiring in New Zealand is ****ing attrocious. Seriously NZC needs to sort this out, because this is just not good enough.

Gary Baxter, worst umpire ever

??? Looks plumb for me. Although I didn't see it live.

Another over the top appeal gets the desired result from baxter.

We should scream our lungs out everytime the ball hits the pads

I thought that LBW was out.

Oram is woeful atm.

 

[Nutter]

Oram is freaking overrated

 

[straw man]

Gary Baxter, worst umpire ever

Not watching the game but saw the lbw described as 'ridiculous' and 'atrocious'... then the face of Gary Baxter just popped into my head.

That's it for mine, Oram should be dropped, he isn't going to bowl @100% and he can't bat anymore.

 

[Bahnz]

Why is it that brilliant starts by McCullum and Ryder are always followed by piss poor middle order collapses? It's become a real habit.

Can someone tell Simon Doull that he's got the words New Zealand on his passport, not Bowler.

That's very over the top. I thought it was a fair enough decision.

umm-look again.

 

[Howsie]

Get Oram out of there.

 

[Bahnz]

Jesus the radio commentary is awful, makes the TV presenters look positively enlightened.

Haha, yeah well it's easy to get worked up about these things when you can't see the game to decide for yourself!

Broom > Oram ATM? Big call...
