Just 996.00 req RPO.

Standard.

Haha some effort from that man

 

[ohnoitsyou]

So what pace did Milne get up to?

 

[Hurricane]

well done nz

 

[BeeGee]

Unbelievable game.

So many records.

 

[Bahnz]

So what pace did Milne get up to?

145-150. Just ignore the 11.5 rpo.

150, and it's realistic since Mills was about where he should be (125-130).

He seems to have regressed from the A tour though. was a lower level but he was bowling with a plan in mind and bowling well. Maybe being told to bowl as fast as he can every time he plays an ODI knocks him?

 

[Athlai]

I've been pretty reluctant to get on the Anderson bandwagon and really didn't see him as being someone who could challenge Cairns or even Oram.

But sheesh, after today. I'm looking forward to his future.

Maybe bowling in the 19th and 21st over of a match where we are 200 ahead and the batsman don't give a **** may have affected his gameplan.

 

[Flem274*]

Anderson is a couple of years ahead of where I thought he was. Always had the ability. Of course he hasn't been asked too many questions about his compulsive drives so far in his career.

 

[Hurricane]

Maybe Milne bowls a very light ball?

 

[Zinzan]

So in what was effectively a T20 match, Ryder scores 104 off 51 then takes 1 for 13 off 4 overs, yet will likely not be the MOTM ....

And scurrying back to the top of his mark.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not sure if it was mentioned in here, but that was actually Corey Anderson's first List A hundred.

 

[Bahnz]

Watching the way Jesse batted today, he simply must be in the test side. Some of those shots were pure silk.

 

[Zinzan]

145-150. Just ignore the 11.5 rpo.

11.5 rpo, just ignore the 145-150

kidding of course...

How about Afridi? I know his ton was his first ODI ton.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Yeah, I wouldn't read to much into him being smashed around. Good to see he's kept his pace while adding swing and improving his control. Maybe in 5 years time he will be test standard


This game is huge for NZ cricket. The Banglawash was incredibly detrimental to the popularity of the game and hence our poor crowd numbers so far this summer etc etc.. Hopefully this match will get the crowds flowing in again.

 

[Hurricane]

We may never see another game like that again. Everything they hit went to the boundary.

On Milne I would like to see him played again in the next game. No point in just giving him these two overs.

 

[Flem274*]

I want Milne to bowl on TV because I'm his propaganda machine but I'm worried playing his worst format will see him get smashed and he'll be a lesser long form player by trying to be a good limited overs player, making my propaganda job harder.

I've been a broken record on him bowling in limited overs for a while but until he can hold his own domestically I don't see the point in him being anything other than a test prospect. If he gets smashed all it does is give the agribusiness boom more ammo to play James Baker ahead of him.

If he plays the next game though he will take 5fer. I have foreseen his coming of age.
