*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

WASP brashly predicting 300 from here. I'd love to have a chat with the guys who worked on that programme...

Wasp knows their is 30 overs of AGGRESSIVE MC CLENEGHAN, Santner and Nathan to come.

 

[straw man]

Nooo Boulteh. That sinking feeling with any back injury.

 

[Flem274*]

how many months of proper cricket could boult miss?

i mean no one gives a **** if he misses some odis and T20s as long as he's fit for Austraya

 

[Zinzan]

not out, missing off bugger.

Be interesting if anyone's collated data on bowlers with the highest % of unsuccessful reviews. Southee would have to be up there.

No Nathan today.

Passive Henry.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Actually a good point raised by Nick Knight there with Roy's hands.

I would say Broad but Cook never normally lets him go for his crap reviews.

 

[Zinzan]

These injuries to NZ bowlers takes us back to yesteryear.... How very nostalgic.

So we're now missing Boult, Milne, Neesham, Anderson. Add to that the fact Vettori and Mills have just retired, and suddenly that enormous depth we were talking about pre WC will be tested.

Well back injury is just a great big unknown, so it's hard to say. Might as well forget about it for a while because we won't know how his recovery is going until he's been bowling again for a while, successfully or not.

Good from Wheeler so far.

 

[Flem274*]

who sorted out southee before his test recall? have a feeling it may have been bradburn.

whoever it was hopefully they pick up the phone because he's been not quite himself for ages now.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

I think if we play four seamers who cannot bat well, then no spinner should be selected, another batsman should be and ten overs from javellin and kane.

5 specialist bowlers is tough. No disrespect to Santners batting potential intended.

This batting line up is not the best for a wide array of circumdtsnces.

Not sure, but I'd guess both Donald and Wright added quite a bit of value.

 

[Flem274*]

Henry another who has been disappointing on this tour so far. Not so much in his figures but he's been breaking his MO of never balling a bad ball.

 

[Flem274*]

Someone surely has put this short ball/back of a length all tour idea in Henry's head...

anyone else want to give me a straw to clutch?

 

[Immenso]

Henry with a Duke has been an enormous anti-climax, this tour.

**** start today, sloppy.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Isnt ut a red duke and white kookaburra? I could be wrong.

 

[straw man]

I can't think that Henry is as inaccurate in domestic cricket as he has been this tour. Aside from the overbowling of the short ball, is probably straining for a little too much pace.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Isnt ut a red duke and white kookaburra? I could be wrong.

Yeah, pretty sure that's the case.

 

[Immenso]

Isnt ut a red duke and white kookaburra? I could be wrong.

Don't know, but a kooka certainly would explain the 400 v 400 rubbish.
