***Official*** New Zealand in England series 2013

[Flem274*]

said 85mph that last one

browsing cw on his phone imo

No. Not convinced Watling is one of the top 6 batsmen in the country. It's Ronchi or Watling.

watling is imo

only player to enhance his rep in SA and was good in the windies odis and contributed in the english tests and warm up

 

[Days of Grace]

NcCullum going the Swann route, then?

 

[Flem274*]

wouldnt be taking the gloves off of watling though

 

[Flem274*]

im pretty sure every time we tour england the fielding spiel comes up

SA get the same as well

i think they have a script filed away

On second thoughts, you could be right.

 

[Flem274*]

everyone hold your breath. its franko time at the bowling crease.

 

[Flem274*]

actually this is in england so he'll probably take 7fer and trick everyone into thinking he's turned a corner before getting pumped in our home season.

much like his domestic career.

 

[Zinzan]

Anyone else feel a lazy no-ball/free-hit coming up from Franklin?

 

[Zinzan]

lol, it's almost unreal how slow Mills is.

 

[Hurricane]

Going off Ronchi now - he needs to stand up to franko

 

[straw man]

Our dibbly-dobbly through the middle overs routine is going to play into Englands' hands here, as they'll happily accumulate with Morgan and Buttler to come in the last 15 overs. But if we could take two wickets that would really disrupt their game plan.

Wow, Franklin went past someone's edge

 

[Flem274*]

so nccullum can turn the ball a little bit

looking forward to seeing vettori on the protractor.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow, Franklin went past someone's edge

.......followed by a lazy freebee down the leg-side to none other than Trott.

 

[Burgey]

Looks a full house (2,500) at Lords today.

Dunno what to make of this new England kit. Didn't they lose 6-1 to us a few years back wearing all red?

 

[Flem274*]

geez our bowling lacks beyond the first three. 20/20 hindsight suggests we should have bitten the bullet in SA and continued with Anderson or Neesham beyond the 20/20 series since they're both genuine allrounders, not dominant in one discipline like Franklin etc.

Munro is the ticket. Serious here too - so long as he bats at 7 or 8.

His bowling is ticketyboo.

 

[straw man]

Munro's bowling is so hittable that he doesn't even bowl for Auckland in t20 iirc, and not much in one dayers either. Something about those 120k deliveries from no great height that says 'hit me'.

 

[Flem274*]

is munro even in the squad? terrible front foot offside technique but he did score an odi 50 against SA when he was given an opportunity. surprising to see him dropped so fast from everything.

 

[Kippax]

Hah yeah, 108 balls in Port Elizabeth have absolved Munro of years of domestic filth.
