Kinda like "My parents bought me tickets to the match and i stnuk into the team photo".

Haha yeah, and compare that to Guppy looking like he's blatantly photobombing up the back there!

 

[Hurricane]

Anyway, Deano never claimed he figured out Hadlee. .

It's just a red thing he's bowling

I will see if I can find a quote online.

Heard Chris Cairns on Inside Cricket comparing Bracewell to Tim Bresnan in terms of a strong paceman who hits the bat harder than you think. Quite a good comparison I thought.

I got there first.

You did not FFS.

Not such a bad comparison in spite of the fact Bresnan is both taller & quicker. They both do hit the deck hard and present a good seam.

As an aside, were NZ'ders actually getting some reverse swing out there? The last 8 wickets fell between overs 45 & 63.

 

[Spark]

Nah was definitely conventional swing.

 

[Flem274*]

He got Hussey with the inswinger to the left hander which is his stock ball so yeah it was conventional.

 

[Top_Cat]

Was just really, really good professional Test bowling.

Chris Cairns was on Inside Cricket (Fox Sports cricket show here in Aust) and knew his ****. Obviously still follows international cricket. Corrected the hosts a couple of times.

Love Cairnsy. Still a good looking bloke too.

 

[Athlai]

Has he stopped selling diamonds yet or whatever it was?

Yeah how funny was it, he was trying to tell them the last time NZ won a test in Aus was in Perth (and it was) but all the idiots could remember from that series was the 1st test. FAIL.

 

[straw man]

Fudge? Or did he actually move onto diamonds?

 

[straw man]

By the way, does anyone know what this drawn series does for NZ's test ranking? I'm guessing it adds a couple of points but no more. To catch up we really need to beat the West Indies when we tour there next year.

FWIW Bresnan is listed at and looks 6' while I would place Bracewell at between 6' and 6'1" compared to his teammates

 

[straw man]

Cairns was also calling for Ponting's head before the series began iirc. Was looking perhaps a little silly after the first test but not as much now.

TH posting about height? Never!

I've come to enjoy my role as a sort of novelty poster who pops up to talk about how **** Vettori is or how tall players are
