Patel 4-fer and a stumping - where was my earlier post hang on...

 

[BeeGee]

Funny shot option, that one. Advance down the pitch and york yourself.

Jeets on for a 5fer. Athlai to comment.

 

[Athlai]

Jeetttttssss

 

[Hurricane]

edit - if He is going to use his feet PAtel must go full and wide. .

Well done Jeets - I pronounce him reborn.

 

[Athlai]

**** yes. So happy for Jeets. Please 5fer. PLEASE

 

[straw man]

Good work Jeets

 

[straw man]

Jeets denied 5-fer

 

[Athlai]

10fer still on though.

Now for the interesting part - our batting. Interested to see what Yadav and Khan can extract from these conditions to start with.

 

[Hurricane]

Why does Khan have to be fit against us.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I can't believe we got away with sub-450 here. Great work by the bowlers.

There's nothing in this pitch for the bowlers. If our batsmen can't score here then questions will be asked, teeth will be gnashed and derogatory name calling will commence.

The feelings of every realistic NZ fan shown here...

JEEEEEETTTSSS!!!!!! WAFG

Seems like NZ did pretty well with the ball. Time for Guptill and McCullum to prove their worth.

 

[Athlai]

lol at watching Mark Richardson rip into Shane Warne on the NZ Red Nose day telethon.

 

[Hurricane]

have said it already but will again our batting is all or nothing with our top 4 bats at 1-4

 

[weldone]

When you're in such a commanding position, the runs you score are likely to have virtually no baring on the result at all.

Will you keep his 73 in the ongoing test in the same bracket? If yes, then I completely disagree. These kind of innings are extremely important IMO.

We might have been 330 all out without his 73.

So Patel is let off all previous crapness as he got 4 here.

I have always thought he has got an unfair amount of abuse to be honest. Good to see him do well again.

Now we wait and see how NZ bat.

Our problem is converting starts tbh.

Nah he deserved every verbal lash he received.
