My ass. I highly doubt you're a kiwi. You fit the far left particapation brigade far too perfectly. You sound more patronising to me.

Now lets think, who posts offshore that follows Sri Lanka, doesnt rate NZ, is a complete and utter dickhead, has a history of multis and got banned recently? Hmm cant be MendisNuffSaid surely?

U need help mate. I used to think this chat was a good place to hang but now I see it for what it is. A high school backyard with a bunch of bullies who can't stand opposing views. I'm currently living in Melbourne if u must know. I left Auckland 2 years ago.

Meh, if I need help, it isnt for calling out some multi on the interwebz. I'd pick other things first.

So you're now an Aussie huh? :p

I don't believe you, there's something not quite right. People never fit the stereotype of something perfectly. You're doing very well at it.

If you're not someones multi then congratulations, you now epitomise patronising, devoted Bradford fan, schoolteacher.

Mate, U have to learn to respect other peoples views. If we don't practice tolerance our future generations have no chance at all.

Vettori: "This is the first time for number of our guys in the subcontinent. Guptill, mcIntosh and Flynn have played reasonable well .. Today, we wanted to put up a fight .. We are a different team when it comes to ODIs; we have more confidence with the wins there."

Really?

Just doing a bit of confidence-boosting clearly.

These are the top Kiwi run scorers since October 2003 (six years ago). can abyone tell me why Vettori should not bat at number five for the Kiwi side?

Remove Fleming Cairns and the others who have left the game since and what is left. Why doesn't this skipper lead from the front?

I rate him low as a captain for this reason. :dry:

Cause Ryder averages over 50 at number 5.

"We are a different team when it comes to ODIs; we have more confidence with the wins there."

Guptil does better in One Dayers. Guptil averages like 40 in list A cricket but only like 27 for First Class cricket so it is his better preferred format of the game.
McCullum clearly prefers ODIs.

Don't know what to make of Dan's complementary comment about the top 3. He has to be frustrated with them. Must be trying to show leadership and say something positive. I guess since he is a selector and thinks they did ok they can breathe a sigh of relief now?

Wrong. He is afraid of batting in the middle order where he should be.

I'd like to see Vettori bat at seven, maybe six but not any higher then that. But to say he's afraid of batting higher up the order is pretty laughable tbh. Check out the second test against Bangladesh last year..
