***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

Can Guptil get a refund of Martin Crowe?

Only if NZC can get a refund off Guptill.

I think Guptill has ended up in the black overall.

 

[Zinzan]

Tough to judge Guptill too much based on his last two innings, but I will say his two main weaknesses from last year namely; 1) an inability to play with soft hands to rotate the strike & 2) finding the gaps don't appear to have been rectified.

 

[jonbrooks]

Ross is using up all the hot water! Get on with it.

 

[Dick Rockett]

I'm not sure if I'd rather watch ads than these pointless vignettes with Laura McGoldrick, but it's a close-run thing.

Agreed. Why can't I like this comment? No "Like" link :-(

 

[Nate]

Top interview with that female reporter and Kane Williamson just now. Good to know he's a big Frozen fan.

 

[jonbrooks]

8 short of the ton. C'mon McCullum.

 

[CricAddict]

Mccullum is in such a rich vein of form that it is hard to believe that his ODI average is just 30 after 234 matches. I believe he would have improved that average by a couple of points over the last year. Was he so bad in the previous years?

 

[Bahnz]

McCullum's batting this season is starting to remind me of that 12th man sketch of an AUS v NZL game were Ponting is batting and Mark Taylor in a hilariously matter of fact tone says, "And Ponting just...clips that one off his pads for another 6."

 

[Zinzan]

McCullum 92 out of 121 runs so far

Angelo Mathews might be tempted to tamper with Mike Gatting's famous 'Hadlee' quote atm and say;

'It's like bowling to the world XI one moment and the Ilford 2nd XI when the strike is rotated"

I thought her little interview with Taylor's kid was cute.

 

[jonbrooks]

Looks like Taylor heard me. 4!

 

[Dick Rockett]

Nice little late cut from Taylor there. He's got his eye in I reckon.

Edit: Needs to find the gaps better though.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

McCullum is shattered. Over 30 degrees.

Someone may be able to confirm, but I think there's a 30-60 second delay before the 'like' option becomes available.

 

[Bahnz]

I wish McCullum would drop this thing of his of always trying to bring up his 100's with 6's. Still, a great innings.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Great stuff Brendon. Moar plz

 

[BeeGee]

Good knock. Keep going.

Nah. "No like link" just occurs when you've got a page open, then use Quick Reply to post, and it loads posts made in between when you opened the page and when you made your post. If you refresh the page it should work fine; it's not a time issue.

Well done McCullum
