*Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe

[BeeGee]

Did they spell his name wrong somewhere? Or have you genuinely not heard of Dean Brownlie?

Chris Harris called him Doug Brownlie in the commentary.

 

[Hurricane]

This opening pair needs to put on 100 for the first wicket for NZ to do well - both these batsman are the most likely to succeed against a Zimbos attack.

Aldridge not playing is a prank. If they want two spinners, drop Twatling and promote Vettori or Young to six.

 

[Athlai]

Did Harris and Brownlie ever play together?

 

[Flem274*]

And if you're backing the pitch to turn, why would you play Watling?

What about Williamson and Taylor?

That's what I wondered. He shouldn't get a former teammate's name wrong.

 

[Athlai]

Love watching Guppy hit straight.

What about Williamson and Taylor?

Guptil and McCullum would be my picks for highest scorer of the innings. They just match up the best against a Zimbos or Bangers attack.

Indeed.

Brownlie's List A Debut

 

[Prince EWS]

I doubt that he actually doesn't know his name. Doug Bracewell and Dean Brownlie both on debut is a bit of a mouthful and Harris just isn't a very good commentator so he fluffed it.

 

[Zinzan]

Disagree he had a bit more to his bowling than just a part-timer. Would've been a valuable asset to have.

Yup, Ryder has a golden-arm, but if it means staying on the park...give it up

What happened to Bran Vitori?

 

[BeeGee]

Looks like a day two pitch to me, really good for batting. 450 minimum, imo.

What happened to Bran Vitori?



Brownlie made his FC debut in Feb 2010, Harris retired in Dec 2009.

He gets the SOS call from Canterbury almost every summer though.

 

[Prince EWS]

What happened to Bran Vitori?

Carrying a niggle; hasn't bowled in ages.

 

[Zinzan]

NZ 130/0 at lunch mes predict

 

[Athlai]

I love Pommie

 

[Hurricane]

Brendon - if he is going to bat like that and get out people are going to say he shouldn't open.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Soft!
