BFJ just pulled up lame while backing up the wicket keeper.

Probably a hammy.

FFS BFJ. Damn your frail ****ing body

Sinclair showing off his expert footwork against the spinners there.

Stags collapsing.

O'Brien on the radio commentary.

Woody! Get that up ya you useless central bastards!

4W for 9 runs.

Karate catches Oram.

 

[Bahnz]

Have to say, Brendan looks pretty slick behind the stumps.

Would solve all our woes if he was a kiwi could bat him at 6 and Vettori at 7

Taylor Caught Patel Bowled Franklin.

I have so much love for that grouping.

 

[Athlai]

Murali and Woodcock did some serious damage 8-1-38-6

Include Jeets who did alright and spin got 12-1-69-6 vs. pace 8-0-81-2

 

[Athlai]

Can we drop Elliott? ****test ****.

 

[Bahnz]

Milne is looking fast. Still bowling way too short mostof the time though.

 

[Athlai]

Boam > rest of Welly

 

[Bahnz]

Nethula bowled brilliantly today. Made the Wellington batsmen look very foolish at times. Will be very interested to see how he goes throughout the rest of the competition.

 

[Athlai]

Elliott's innings pisses me off to no end. 8 wasted balls are going to cost us the match.

 

[Bahnz]

Wellington have really missed out on some juicy half volleys from Bracewell in his last couple of overs.

 

[Athlai]

Woodcock is terrible at hitting boundaries.

 

[Zinzan]

Oram's still such a valuable bowler in the shorter forms. Do we know if he's still available for ODI's & T20I's?

Yeah he's not bad.

Meh, it probably helped he was bowling to complete and utter numpties tbf because he bowled more than a few ****ters in his first couple of overs. He's an average looking bowler IMO, very flat and bowls a lot of loose stuff. Looking at his feet while delivering the ball can't be helping in that regard.

DWTA, I thought he bowled well, putting it on a good length and with just enough flight and turn. Given that it's a T20, you also imagine he's probably bowling a fair bit flatter than he would in the longer forms of the game. Agreed it was hardly a world class batting lineup, but he still managed to make scoring very difficult in a time when Wellington was really looking to accelerate.
