Will now eat these words.Not seeing much chance of his average coming down below 40 at the moment.
Not going to start saying Patel is awesome... but cleaning up the tail is still important.

You're making us all relive a lot of painful memories thereIt's not just major winning positions, you get yourselves into strong positions then throw it away. Like bowling Australia out for 200 on the first day at the Gabba, having England on the ropes before letting Tim Ambrose (snigger) score a century, letting India's tail slog countless runs in the third test in February and failing to bowl out India to win the match in seven sessions.
Not exactly unloseable positions, but you get the picture.
Guptill usually loves the opening bowling for 3 or 4 boundaries, then gets out. One day he'll go on!Guptill is loving Thushara's bowling ATM.
I didnt touch it...So how is the McIntosh voodoo doll working for you Phlegm?
Yeah it is incredibly frustrating. You know instead of slagging Murali/Black Caps, I think Mark Richardson should work with Martin Guptill to sort his temperament out. It's no use being all aggressive but make a start and not go on with it. He clearly has talent to suceed, but he just needs to pull his head in a little bit.Guptill usually loves the opening bowling for 3 or 4 boundaries, then gets out. One day he'll go on!
Not so worried about losing McIntosh too be honest, even if it was a dodgy decision. He'd likely have poked & prodded when NZ need to be as positive as possible.how bout that one down already..
Lies!I didnt touch it...
Thanks Cricinfo, expect Flynn to get out now.3.6
Thushara to Flynn, no run, outside the off stump and left alone
Impressive technique from Flynn. He is watching the ball right onto the bat
Guptil bats like a number 3 and not like an opener and flynn vice versa. Trouble is you can't make flynn open if he doesn't want to.Yeah it is incredibly frustrating.
