Haha, Vettori always gave up the wrong form when he chose Tests only. He's always been a world-class ODI bowler & is considerably more valuable to the NZ one day team than test team

Yep. But he wanted Hadlee's record so bad. WAC.

 

[Days of Grace]

Should bowl Mills for 8 overs.

Good lineup. With the way his bowling is these days, Franklin has to bat in the top 6 or GTFO. We now have no worries about the 5th bowler and everyone down to Mills can give it a whack.

And isn't Arnold an arrogant, condescending prick.

Bogle doesn't get laid, does he?

Wow Sri Lanka, I had a feeling this would happen, they might do a Pakistan but I can't see SL winning from here.

I can. Sanga and Mathews are excellent batsmen, they could still nurse SL to a defendable score. NZ obviously favourites, but it's way too early to write SL off.

shot

 

[Days of Grace]

Good field setting from BMac, the anti-Dhoni. Must keep looking to take poles.

 

[BeeGee]

Kyle Myles? FFS.

 

[hendrix]

***y drift from Dan

 

[Mike5181]

Southee looks like he's lost about 5 kg.

 

[thierry henry]

lol at these commentators with their wildly inaccurate attempts at summarising Vettori's career.

"In and out of the side with injury over the last 5-6 years" wtf???

Is it too much to expect professional commentators to realise that one of the world's best ODI bowlers has been effectively retired from the format for over 2 years?

 

[thierry henry]

Imagine if Trott was batting the way these two are.

 

[Mike5181]

Mitchy!

 

[BeeGee]

Mitch!!

 

[thierry henry]

wtf just happened, Mitch bowled consecutive 136kph balls and suddenly he's bowling ****s around their legs

 

[straw man]

Bowled em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Daemon]

Haha, similar to the Raina dismissal in the warm up game.

 

[hendrix]

Excellent captaincy.

 

[thierry henry]

Thirimanne at 7????

 

[straw man]

wtf just happened, Mitch bowled consecutive 136kph balls and suddenly he's bowling ****s around their legs

Yeah but if you calculate the Mitch-adjusted Heavy Ball pace that was up around 147. Wooooosh

 

[thierry henry]

hehe, Matthews actually did well to get bowled there, arched his legs out of the way at exactly the right moment
