man it's nice to be back in a tour thread talking rubbish.

the ashes is good but it's in a "i want to see a bloodbath and tears" kind of way. my only emotional stake in that is reminding them all how much better BJ Watling is than their pooey players.

 

[Zinzan]

Lovely stat Zinzan. Can you add the SR?

Not on that query, but here's one with best partnership run-rates (qualification >1000 runs) Partnership records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Quite astonishing RR from Gurusinha & Ranatunga considering the era in which they played.

 

[Zinzan]

Not too down about that run-out, was hoping we'd get to see Neesham swing the bat.

 

[NZTailender]

Taylor to finish with a better SR in the match than KW

 

[Days of Grace]

Heh. Zimbabwe commie getting Excited!

what's ross' strike rate since getting to 50?

He was 51 off 87 & now 92 off 100, so 41 off 13 at a SR of 315

[Flem274*]

loving neeshes ginger beard. deserves a long run at #6 in odis for it.

 

[thundaboult]

Neesham just can't get going. Predictable.

Played Ross

Lol, did that commentator just imply Taylor was the captain?

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Taylor moving up the gears in this innings, from Mark Richardson to Andrew Jones to Martin Crowe

 

[Days of Grace]

"The captain rising to the occasion once again."

 

[Flem274*]

come the home summer we'll get the calls for his head again when he's on 40* from 80.

Yes he did. That commentator is very annoying.

 

[weldone]

i've had the game on mute for an hour or so now but early on it was pretty evident the commentators haven't seen nz play since they last toured zimbabwe. they'd done some statsguru queries to get the recent form but they still think ross is the skipper and kane is 20.
