What kind of pie?

Big Ben Choice Mince, apparently.


Ross Taylor playing out dot-balls here. Has to catch up on his strike rate. Drop him.

ffs gavaskar just said what i wanted to. cbf finishing this post now.

Gavaskar has actually been commentating quite nicely so far this series. Bit of fresh air doing him some good?

 

[Zinzan]

320 minimum.

I'd give India a 50/50 chance of chasing anything under 350. Think this slight slower deck will suit their 'wristy' style and mitigate the impact of the short-ball. If we had a Vettori I'd be more confident.

 

[Blocky]

So you've got no one.

Time to accentuate the positive now champ.

I've listed six players, the argument is blue in the face, if anyone really believes Guptill deserves a spot in the side, I just don't have any respect for their opinions and can't be bothered trying to eduate them anymore.

Jeez, you're a class act.
Please eduate us, Professor Blocky.

We have good bowlers though.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Uh, that's close.

Nah, that's out.

Or benefit of the doubt?

 

[BeeGee]

Safe.

 

[Zinzan]

Out for mine

Ha, yeah. Don't see why his slow start has gone without the scathing comments dished out to Guptill.

 

[Zinzan]

So lucky

 

[Daemon]

That's out, but I'd never give it.

 

[Dan]

That looks out.

 

[hendrix]

Ha, yeah. Don't see why his slow start has gone without the scathing comments dished out to Guptill.

ummm his slow start is nothing like Guptill's, which came in a power play and had him at 4 (22).

 

[Blocky]

Ha, yeah. Don't see why his slow start has gone without the scathing comments dished out to Guptill.

Slow start? He's 13 from 22. Guptill was 4 from 28. Guptill also had the powerplay overs. Taylor doesn't

Ross Taylor never slept with Blocky's sister.

 

[Dan]

For the love of god Ravichandran, stop with that bloody stupid pausing thing halfway through your action. It's ****.

 

[hendrix]

weird that people care about guys sleeping with their sister.

 

[Blocky]

Ross Taylor never slept with Blocky's sister.

Sorry, my sister isn't that easy, it's not like she's McGoldrick who's slept with every single cricketer in New Zealand before Guptill, about the only person Guptill had a chance with is a cricket tragic who's already been passed around by the stars.

I could make a joke about Hamilton here, but I won't.

(Oh look, I did anyway)
