*Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe

[Uppercut]

Their tail looks on the gash side of ordinary, so if one of these goes soon it'll be house of cards time.

Ah yeah.

Even so, is it really so much more difficult to score 75 runs than to survive 18 overs that it justifies taking a draw? Reckon they might well lose anyway if they start inviting men around the bat. New Zealand's reaction to Zim going for the win would make a draw much easier to achieve. Seems a no-brainer decision to go for the win from here, they might never get a better chance to beat New Zealand.

Waller to have a stab imo.

 

[Nigel Benjamin]

Need 80 runs with 1 wicket in hand at 4 an over

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

The good ones can be really great, but the bad ones are bigger in number and are really awful to watch.

bull****

Nothing to suggest they aren't doing exactly that.

Vettori is actually attacking using negative tactics, ITSTL

Who says test cricket is dead?

No one?

 

[Tricia McMillan]

bull****

Just my opinion.

I won't ruin this tense match with an argument about test cricket though, we have a thread for that already.

 

[Prince EWS]

No one?

Hayden tbh.

 

[Howe_zat]

Just remembered that both these guys are on debut. Would be many shades of awesome if they could do it.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hayden tbh.

Hayden says a lot of things.

[KiWiNiNjA]

That's how it's done, Paul Collingwood.

 

[Athlai]

Bit concerned about how much of a good **** team we are.

 

[Spikey]

That is brilliant

 

[Daemon]

Well at least NZ will win the spirit of cricket award again

 

[Mike5181]

Vettori is such a good ****.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Vettori. He is a class act.

 

[Flem274*]

Oh God, what happened?

 

[Athlai]

Catch of the year!!! Wow!!!!

 

[Days of Grace]

So, Vettori doesn't want to win the match, then?
