***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[Hurricane]

Pitch has moved from flat to road IMO.

Only because Starc is on. Looks dangerous still with Siddle.

 

[BeeGee]

Bloody hell. Clearly not doing himself justice in this series then.

Young's keeping has been reasonably tidy this series. He dropped one catch, but apart from that I have no complaints.

100 X better than Hopkins.

 

[Flem274*]

What do people say about Derek's keeping?

I'm not sure. A couple of people I've talked to like him, but I've never seen him myself.

van Wyk is eligible and averaging about 70 this season.

CPL says van Wyk should make the side as a specialist bat at this point. Has had a real good last few seasons.

 

[NasserFan207]

Brownlie likes a bit of width, it's fair to say.

Limited MO but I like his discipline; quite prepared to let a lot go.

Being limited in terms of strokeplay is actually a good thing in these conditions.

Make him open!

What is the NZ CPL side PEWS?

Fair to say van Wyk has had a few good seasons with the bat

He can cut, he can drive, he can flick it off the legs. All the shots a test batsman needs.

I'll tell you after this match; keeps changing too much.

Was more continuing the joke about the pitch being flat than actually implying batting is easy.

 

[BoyBrumby]

TBF I haven't seen enough of him to know if he has the strokes to play or not, but he does seem to have the discipline to wait for his go-to shots.

Reminds me a little of Prior, actually.

Brownlie actually strikes me as a similar make to Jonathan Trott

 

[Zinzan]

Haha @ Tony Greig peeping through a little hole to watch the portly figure of Cowdrey...marginally creepy.

 

[Flem274*]

Go away Siddle.

 

[BeeGee]

I wish Siddle would stop running in all day. Even a bloke with a heart as big as his needs to have a rest sometime.

 

[Athlai]

When it's winter over there, it's summer over here. Get ready India, you're going to feel the heat down under.

Brilliant ad tour campaign.

 

[Athlai]

That second wicket of Slater in the 90s is one of the worst dismissals I've ever seen.

 

[Johnners]

lol'n @ Prasad

 

[Zinzan]

lol'n @ Prasad

lol, Slater did so well not to floor Prasad for that, great diss.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

When C9 show a replay of a wicket they need a big REPLAY at the top of the screen.

Has given me a couple of heart-attacks already today.


Ouch!
