***Official*** New Zealand in India 2012

[straw man]

So you think the umpiring had any impact on the outcome of the first test?

There's nothing wrong with discussing umpiring when there's a reason - it's not like any one person is going on and on and on about it. Even if we would in all likelihood lose the match anyway. But anyway, umpiring discussion ended about 5 pages ago.

Shot Flynn

 

[straw man]

Nice shot Flynn - really good.

 

[Bahnz]

Rpo of 7.

 

[Athlai]

Flynn quietly accumulating runs at the other end of this is so good.

 

[BackFootPunch]

And again. Quality. Head down now son.

 

[straw man]

Hate to see that sweep to a ball from Ashwin on the stumps though! Even if it went for four.

 

[Athlai]

When do we declare guys? 600 IMO.

 

[Flametree]

Any English fans watching Taylor bat like this must really be hoping Pietersen makes the trip to India, as I can't see anyone else in their line-up taking to them like this.

Apologies if this is considered a threadjack...

90 partnership off 92 balls.

Flynn smashing it now. Best batsman still to come as well!

Nah, definitely right. Prior could do something like this I suppose.

 

[Flametree]

cricinfo says last ten overs 72-0.... wow!

 

[BackFootPunch]

So there's positive running. Then there's silly.

 

[Shri]

If you can't aim and throw at 3 stumps you are a ****ing ****.

 

[straw man]

Well that was lucky. Amazing what a difference fielding makes with India dropping a catch and now missing a run out.

Flynn needs to pull his head in - from memory nearly all his test dismissals to date have been from ambitious attacking shots.

He's looked better in this innings than any other Test innings I've seen him play. Very encouraging.

I'm sorry, but it irritates me when people try and pass the buck by complaining about umpiring conspiracies. Its weak and unsporting.

 

[Shri]

What happens if NZ keep attacking throughout the day successfully at this rate? We will be looking to save the game from day 2. Not good.

 

[BeeGee]

At this RR I'd say 700.

Minimum.
