Ah interesting, apologies for the confusion. I was following cricinfo whilst watching the coverage on TV and cricinfo had him at 118. Either way, an amazing innings.

I doubt the Australian ones are miserly, considering you regularly see Siddle, Starc and co touching 150 clicks. The commentators don't make a big deal out of that either, but the instant you see 150+ from a NZ bowler the whole country collectively jizzes their pants.

True, but not on this tour, we need the ODI's to get the likes of Smith and Kallis some time in the middle before the tests start

Played Levi you ****. Ryder in disguise trying to piss NZers off imo.

A bowler's run up is entirely for rhythm purposes, so past a point lengthening it has no positive effect. Short answer: I doubt it.

The NZ obsession with speed is ludicrous and misguided. The fastest bowler in each team was the WORST bowler in each team, and even when de Lange was being smashed for over 10 runs an over people were still spanking on about how fast he was bowling.
I'm obsessed by bowlers who can actually control where they bowl the ball, get the ball to move and bowl with intelligence.

Ah.... ya think? The guy's in the team as a pinch hitter and his innings to date have been 2 off 3 and 3 off 7. He's not good enough for international cricket.

What was Smithy suggesting with all seriousness after the game? Bring Ryder in for the one-off occasion...WTF?
Jesse has a first-class innings to play today, would require giving CdG one of the humiliating droppings in NZC history. Basically choppering in someone, not because of fitness (certainly not...) but because of talent!
