New Zealand A Tour of India and Sri Lanka

[Mike5181]

Looks like these two have done really well.

Dammit first baller for Henry. I hope we bat our 50. 5 balls to go.

Ronchi -> 6 and Latham -> 1 next game? Latham, Devcich, Cachopa, Mitchell, Anderson, Ronchi, Munro, Ellis has a better ring to it. Also do we have any reserves now the Otago dudes have left?

 

[Daemon]

Why do they always make Ronchi open?

 

[Daemon]

omg sachin baby is playing :3

Astle, Bracewell, Gillespie, Kuggeleijn

It's being cast on star sports ftr.

Completely unrelated, I found a stream of water a couple of minutes ago that is flowing uninterruptedly atm. If anyone wants a sip, PM me on CS or something.

Reading the ages of this lot makes me feel old. Weird seeing cricketers a little bit younger than me. When they retire I'll be a washed up drunk in a tree probably.

 

[Daemon]

Outfield showing one factor of why Indians traditionally aren't the best of fielders.

 

[Flem274*]

we could use 9 bowlers if we wanted to. it would be like year 7 crap grade cricket where everyone in the team got 2-4 overs

 

[Daemon]

That was out.

 

[Mike5181]

Sodhi so had him first ball.

 

[Flem274*]

Have just seen some of the NZ dismissals. Munro's looked as bad as cricinfo made it sound. In other news I've got the impression from just a couple of balls (so nothing really) that Sodhi Can Bat.

 

[Flem274*]

less sixes pls

good thing sodhi is going to be allowed to develop his talent at A level for a while before stepping up to tests eh.

 

[Daemon]

****, he started so well too. They're just destroying him now.

 

[Flem274*]

ellis is a bit of a bastard to keep bowling him. should have been taken off two overs ago.

 

[Kippax]

Ellis sticking up for Tastle with what little power resides outside ND/Otago these days.

 

[Mike5181]

Tastle would get the same treatment against these blokes I think. Devcich is doing surprisingly well atm though.

Milne must be dead, should've been bowling ages ago.

 

[Flem274*]

I think we've reached the point where we just bowl our two best bowlers by a considerable margin at them, rather than continuing to persist with the batting allrounders and a leg spinner on a bad day.

If Henry and Milne can't do it then well.

 

[Bahnz]

Milne giving the scorecard a bit of dignity. Please please please please please stay fit this season.

 

[Flem274*]

nice to see milne is snaring us some respectability. 50/50 hindsight says it would have been better to bring him on a lot earlier when the game was still live.

reading through the early overs it looks like henry bowled ok with little luck. lots of fortunate edges and what not in between the boundary balls.

devcich was surprisingly good considering bowling isn't his strongest suit.

india have batted really well though. had good looks at the spinners before best deciding how to take them apart and punished our attempt at being clever with the ten million batting allrounders.
