***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

[Flem274*]

Dad switches back just in time for Baz to bring on the boring dobbers at both ends. ffs.

Ugh that weather looks ominous.

Is it going to rain before West Indies bat the required 20 overs to constitute a game? They should bat out the N/R, it'd be hilarious if they were all out in the 12th over and then it pissed down.

 

[hendrix]

ah yeah getting through the overs key.

 

[Athlai]

He is Sobers. How ironic

 

[Bahnz]

Ha, McCullum just trying to get through the overs, and WI playing for stumps.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

whats this ryder bowling off spin im hearing about?

 

[Zinzan]

Awesome, just shows how quickly you can get through an over when you want to.

 

[Nate]

Do the stats count if the game is washed out sorry?

Lol at Bravo here.

 

[BeeGee]

**** off nathan mccullum i wanna see Milne bowl.

Wouldn't you rather see the game completed?

 

[Dan]

NZ not caring enough to review and waste valuable time.

It's only an odi, so not fussed tbh when there's a chance to barrack for Milne

 

[Prince EWS]

I know you're being bitchy but I don't think anyone here thinks he makes the ODI team on merit. I wouldn't normally even play him and just save him for eventual test squad selection. I suppose he isn't missing out on any FC cricket though and is getting a chance to bowl to international batsmen so whatever.

Haha I just like to keep the hype in perspective by pointing out precisely how rubbish he's been in international cricket so far. I mean, an average of over 140 in both formats of cricket that he's played is pretty god damn amusing even if nothing else.

I have no issue with him playing; he'd be close to making it on merit anyway as he did well in limited overs cricket domestically last season. I certainly prefer it to the whole "lets only pick two bowlers" idea.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

This game is gonna get rained out, unfortunately.

 

[Flem274*]

how many overs constitutes a game?

 

[Bahnz]

20

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

how many overs constitutes a game?

20 of the 21.

As far as the stats are concerned, if there's a toss, it's a match, even if it's N/R. I remember a couple of England players making their ODI debuts in a match that was abandoned without a ball being bowled because there was a toss.

 

[Nate]

how many overs constitutes a game?

20 a side min.

he was crap in limited overs cricket. Every bowler not called Matt Henry got smoked.

He isn't accurate enough for limited overs. A very exaggerated Boult or early Franklin.

Ta, glad Anderson will get his record regardless then.
