Gone now.

Piss off, you're out - Bill Lawry

 

[Bahnz]

Gah, if it had been a second no-ball wicket it would've been the most hilarious over of the year. Still pretty ridiculous especially given that it was to Younis.

 

[Niall]

Abysmal haircut but that is not enough reason for Mitch not to be in this side, absolute gun in this format.


Is their a player with a test average of 40+ more useless than Younis in ODI cricket? Farcical they still give him a go in this format.

 

[Dan]

The replay of that Henry over is so, so ***eh

 

[Bahnz]

This speed gun strikes me as slightly erratic. Mitch's speeds are a bit inconsistent, but I have great difficulty believing that that last ball was 121kmh.

 

[Bahnz]

Excellent carry in this pitch. Good choice by NZ to drop NcCullum, imo.

 

[Zinzan]

Good man. Seems to be a little smoother.

 

[Zinzan]

Just need to nip one more to put the breaks on. Looks to be a good wicket.

 

[Bahnz]

Henry is so, so good. Test debut on boxing day please.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah! That dismissal had Bond written all over it.

Vettori v NcCullum...if you had choice whom would you guys pick on current form in playing eleven for the WC?

 

[Bahnz]

Vettori, definitely. He actually takes wickets on a regular basis. NcCullum just bowls darts that get hurdled for 5rpo. Useless. We don't even really need NcCullum's batting. Pretty much all of our seam bowlers (Mills, Southee, Milne, Henry and even Boult) are handy with the bat.

 

[Mike5181]

My boy Henry in amongst the wickets. Bowling with some heat too. 142.5 that last one.

 

[Niall]

Shafiq and Younis?

Why are these clowns are playing ODI cricket?

Absurd that Umar and Fawad are left out for 2 absolute failures in this format.

 

[Bahnz]

Geez, this really is like one of these old west indies pitches from the Curtly & Courtney era. Terrific bounce in this pitch.

 

[Zinzan]

Vettori v NcCullum...if you had choice whom would you guys pick on current form in playing eleven for the WC?

Vettori by a bit now he proved he may not be absolutely horrible with the bat & in the field in the last game.

 

[Bahnz]

Classic Mitch spell this. 22/1 off 17 legitimate balls, with about 13 pies and 4 brutes. He's like a muscular James Franklin.

 

[OverratedSanity]

FFS Pakistan. Drop Younis and bring in Fawad. getting to be a joke.

 

[anil1405]

This has to be exciting times for a NZ supporter. Two quality international attacks could be formed out of the current bowling options they have.
