Daniel Vettori is so awesome. I don't know why everyone doesn't rave about him more in T20.

Yup, was reasonably happy with his last 3 oversPretty awesome comeback.And a good hitout for Bond after his poor first over.
Game reminded so much of this game when NZ should never have lost 10th Match, Group D: New Zealand v South Africa at Lord's, Jun 9, 2009 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Sounds like Oram once again showing he's no 20/20 player.
He's not a hitter from the start which is what you need in 20/20. Bar his hundred in Aussie and a couple of other fifties, he's never come in and bashed it from the start. He gets himself in first and lauches at twenty odd. But of course there's no time for that in 20/20.
Good we won I suppose, would rather it had been a test match though.

It was 1.44am in NZ when you posted this. On a weekday. Give yourself an uppercut. And not the midget poster of the same name.

That's exactly what I was thinking the other day, but forgot to post it
Hopefully he'll get a go in the Test team soon (@ 6) cause he's got a great FC record.
Should give Stewart or Watling a go in the ODI squad.
I saw this on Cricinfo, "Sri Lanka gave 3 byes on the last ball (in NZ's innings), which is equal to the margin by which NZ won". So the main difference between the two teams was the discipline in bowling.
Butler's turning out to be a very reliable bowler too

Tuffey is not in - the ODI squad is as follows.Just caught the bowling highlights. Loved Orams caught and bowled and the anger with which he threw the ball down.
Butler=WAG. Hope he plays some ODIs (Though with Mills, Bond and Tuffey it could be unlikely, or is Tuffey only in the test squad?)
Daniel Vettori (captain)
Shane Bond
Neil Broom
Ian Butler
Brendon Diamanti
Grant Elliott
Martin Guptill
Gareth Hopkins (ODIs only)
Brendon McCullum
Nathan McCullum
Peter McGlashan (Twenty20s only)
Kyle Mills
Jacob Oram
Jeetan Patel
Jesse Ryder
Ross Taylor
******************************
Tuffey is in the Champions Trophy squad however he comes in at the expese of Nathan McCullum I guess they wanted to play an extra spinner in sri lanka.
It is McCullum's idea. The tosser.
Can anyone tell me what sort of speeds Bond was bowling? I tried to watch the game but fell asleep at the innings break and missed all of Bond's bowling.

Fastest 145.2. His average was around 138-140. Wouldn't trust the speedgun though. Malinga was bowling frecking quick at the start and it was coming up with 140-143.

Yea okay. If McCullum isn't keeping he's more likely to lose his spot in the team.
