**** off you shunt. This is Shaun Pollock all over again.

 

[Garson007]

I expect a 6 wicket win here.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Hang on, hasn't the whole world known that Mills doesn't go well at the death for the last, oh, decade?

Or is that just the whole world except Hesson and the guy who's kept to him half that time?

 

[BeeGee]

This is why McCullum is a terrible captain. Mills should not be bowling this over.

 

[Flem274*]

can't believe its been 10 years and we still haven't figured out Millz should bowl his 10 before 30 overs are up.

 

[straw man]

**** McClenaghan 4/20 off 10 - great figures

Yeah Mills at the death - whadaya expect

 

[Jono]

Far our Mills

 

[Bahnz]

Kane with 4/22.

Nah, this isn't a recent thing. Fleming, Vettori, and Taylor consistently did the same thing.

 

[otagoman]

Have we found our "spinner"?

Excellent bowling from Williamson today. He's always been a genuine batting allrounder for ND so if he can be a better than part time 6th bowler ala Styris in the early to mid 00s then he'll be a real asset.

yeah mccullum and hesson might be bad but they're not the only ones to insist Millz must bowl at the death

Yes and yes.

I reckon the moment he starts bowling well consistently is the moment that his action will come under more serious scrutiny, so we'll have to see.

 

[Flem274*]

would love to know what Mills record would look like if we excluded all overs he's bowled after the 35th.

 

[Flem274*]

I reckon the moment he starts bowling well consistently is the moment that his action will come under more serious scrutiny, so we'll have to see.

If Ajmal and a few others can get away with it, then lil' NZ can sneak a 6th bowler under the radar surely.

We've snuck Millz through and his action was filthy at the start of his career.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Mixed performance from NZ, was almost like south africa thought we were trying to get 400 and playing and forcing some silly shots. Nz had so many chances, south africa shouldn't have made 180. And then there was THAT Mills over. Nz should win, but tsotsobe to bowl them to pieces

 

[straw man]

Don't know who's going to score the runs here for NZ - I'm lacking a little faith. Fifty from Watling and fifty from Guptill and then a few 20s and 30s from the rest I guess.

 

[Mike5181]

This moment on the Cricket Show was probably my favourite innings ever. Astle's 222 was so amazing.

 

[morgieb]

Williamson took a 4-fer? WTF?
