Gawd I hope Elliot gets out soon can't deal with flem saying I told you so later tonight.

This isn't too much to boast about so far. He's had a few near misses against the spinners.

Some real classic comments on the cricinfo commentary today.

One bloke reckoned Adam Milne reminded him of "Chris Pringle charging in during the 1990 World Cup".

Another reckoned "Grant Elliott turned in amazing performances in the series where we whitewashed Australia chasing scores of 300+".

I'm not going to explain to you what's wrong with those statements.

Wellington is where you look for blokes who can overcome a top order hiccup. Wellington and Williamson.

Elliot showing that he's no mug. SL will be a bit worried now. Expected him to fold over vs the spinners but apparently a "spin specialist"?

 

[Zinzan]

Cheers Kane

Must be getting close to that NZ ODI all time side. A good World Cup and he's in imo.

Are you kidding? Average of 44 with a SR of 80....He's already well in. Name a better 3?

 

[Prince EWS]

We had such Guptill earlier.

That was such Elliott.

 

[Immenso]

Was that Elliott reverse sweep with the back of his bat?

I'd have Crowe at #3 and Kane in the strike rotation role at #5

real men don't play with the face of their bat

 

[hendrix]

I remember thinking Elliott was a hack when he got his first go in internationals. And then I remember realising I was wrong.

Good player.

 

[Zinzan]

That was such Elliott.

Such a good manipulator of the field once in.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I've never seen an NZ side so adept at coming down the pitch to spinners

 

[viriya]

Jeevan and Dilshan should not bowl another over imo..

Although that might be expecting too much from Perera and Kula.

Yeah, saw the Pringle comment and was actually dumbstruck, then spent a few moments thinking of Chrises other than Chris Waddle at Italia 90.

Are the cricinfo commentators 18 year old computer nerds stuck in an non air conditioned room in Guangzhou?

Is there no filter?
If I sent in that "Hesson resembles Oppy Bossom and Charisma in the 1878 Athens Olympics, cool heads and great teamwork"
Would it get published?

Milking Herath here.. worrying signs for SL.

Props to the "new" guy.

Jinxed him.

 

[hendrix]

These are the best ODIs, btw. Challenging, tense chases.

 

[Zinzan]

I'd have Crowe at #3 and Kane in the strike rotation role at #5

Strange. I would have assumed with Kane, Ross & Crowe in the middle order, the logical order would be Kane at 3, Crowe at 4 allowing to Ross to play slightly more freely at 5.

The greater point being Williamson is already dead-cert lock in the side.

cricinfo commenting is **** in general.. they should implement something like you see in Bleacher Report where anyone can comment with upvotes etc.
