6th Match - New Zealand v Scotland

[Zinzan]

Brain-fart from Taylor.

Shizz fellas, another couple of quick wickets now...

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Haven't seen that in a while

 

[Prince EWS]

Majid WAG.

You keep playing Milne and either catch him on that upward trend or are forced to drop him, which will not be the end of the world with McCleneghan in the wings.

Mills too. Would be 50/50 for me on who would suit slotting into Southee/Boult/Gap/Anderson. Mills was obv on my sheet before the tournament but we'd need to consider the balance of the attack too.

Lol Taylor.

Out of interest, how would you rank Mills, Southee, Boult & Milne & McClenaghan with the bat 1 through 5?

Boult and McClenaghan are 4 and 5. Mills > Southee. Milne is the hard one to rate because he looks the best but he hasn't really done much yet; could be anywhere between 1 and 3 really although I definitely think we'll look back at this comparison in a year or two and have Milne as a conclusive #1. He reminds me a bit of Brett Lee with the bat, but with more decisive footwork.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Very slow and loopy from haq. Definitely wait for the shorter one

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Hard to believe that a month ago Elliott played one of the worst cricket innings ever.

That innings started a bit of a jinxy run I've had betting on players to top score.. they tend to either get up and win my bet for me, or play absolutely horrible innings since then.

Hard to believe that a month ago Elliott played one of the worst cricket innings ever.

That innings is so overrated. It was just a scratchy low score, hardly the first.

 

[Prince EWS]

Pommie and Smith explaining that Ellliott was picked over Neesham because of the cake:icing ratio in many more words than necessary.

Yeah, Milne has at least as much potential as the others & his movements when batting remind me of Lee as well, especially through mid-wicket leaning half-forward.

Boult > Mitch fairly comfortably though in terms of scoring runs, although Mitch hasn't got the worst defense ever.

 

[Neil Pickup]

KANE. WHAT WAS THAT?

You have betrayed me.

 

[_Ed_]

That was a bit silly and unnecessary.

 

[bill8164]

not smart at all, I have to say that was probably one of the worst dismissals I have seen from Williamson. Yikes!

 

[hendrix]

This is frustrating.

 

[Zinzan]

Nah, Kane the ultimate team-man selflessly allowing the others in the middle order to knock off the last 30 runs

 

[smash84]

NZ peaking too early imo

Yeah its a good premise but mitch played south africa warmup. you have to see McClenaghan or Mills at some point because you dont want to end up in the oh **** milne might not be up to it lets hope one of these guys are good enough with no matches under there belt in the last three weeks/month
