[Howsie]

This is on in NZ. Just one question and I probably already know the answer but......

Will we get the 'normal' NZ commentary team during this World Cup, or some patched together couple of Kiwi's with a whole heap of ****s from the SC that struggle to speak proper English and know next to nothing about this NZ team? Without sounding harsh I can't stand Harsha Bogle, Ramiz etc and I doubt most NZers will won't to tune in and listen to that crap.

This gives you a clue.

 

[The_Bunny]

Not in aus, well not high quality or legally anyway that I know of
Everything can be found though.

On a more related note Warner teeing off here

 

[NUFAN]

Why are we playing a warm-up against India anyway? Surely we'd be better off against someone else.

WTF was that ball just then?

 

[Swingpanzee]

Yeah drop Finch and just keep Watson and Warner as the opening pair

 

[umosay]

How awful is this score overlay? Get rid of those photos... takes up so much room!

 

[Antihippy]

Dunno why people keep talking about dropping finch. His dismissals look super dopey but he's still been doing pretty well.

Most of the NZ commentators don't know **** about the NZ side, let alone other sides.

I mean they pretty much always forget the MVP after Tom Latham's name, for example.

 

[Antihippy]

Shami practicing his backyard cricket surprise ball.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Smith's dismissal is interesting.

 

[Antihippy]

I've been wondering throughout the summer why this hasn't happened more often.

 

[NUFAN]

Dunno why people keep talking about dropping finch. His dismissals look super dopey but he's still been doing pretty well.

People like Clarke, Smith and Bailey batting from 3-5 (in whichever order). Whoever bats 6 is going to be an all-rounder and share 10 overs of bowling with Watson. Warner is favoured over Finch because he is more reliable especially against the better teams so Finch is the batsman who is unlucky to miss out in some teams.

In saying that, it would be a selection surprise as Finch hasn't missed an ODI for a while.

 

[Antihippy]

Ehhhh, warner has been slightly underwhelming in ODIs, though he seemed to have been improving lately. Finch knows how to go big more often though.

 

[Swingpanzee]

sick of these short boundaries

 

[ajdude]

if you hate short boundaries, then you hate abilities

 

[Athlai]

So many pies.
