Good partnership this.

For all the naysayers, KW mark two is getting big turn off this pitch.

 

[IKWT]

Good to see Guppy still earning his place in the team as a specialist fielder (who occasionally scores double hundreds).

 

[Zinzan]

Good to see Guppy still earning his place in the team as a specialist fielder (who occasionally scores double hundreds).

(And is occasionally the highest run scorer in the World cup).

 

[IKWT]

(And is occasionally the highest run scorer in the World cup).

Pffft, he's only done that once!

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, but that's with only 7 toes.

 

[IKWT]

Yeah, but that's with only 7 toes.

If he had ten would he average 57?

 

[Bahnz]

Cripes, we've been getting a pretty grim insight into the standards of Plunket fielding in the last 10 minutes.

 

[Howsie]

Milne must be carrying niggles.

Munro for Neesham is interesting. He will have to bowl some overs. 10 overs from Munro, KW and Grunter.

You do realise Munro can barely bowl these days right?

 

[Bahnz]

Henry is such a gash bowler these days. Dunno if it's Dimi's fault or what but it's really sad to see.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yeah seemed to coincide with when he hit puberty.

 

[Howsie]

Henry is such a gash bowler these days. Dunno if it's Dimi's fault or what but it's really sad to see.

Yeah, he's been really dissapointing since the World Cup. Just too short with his lengths and no patience. If somebody has told him to bowl like that they need to go because he doesn't even look like 1/4 of the bowler he was 12 months ago.

 

[Zinzan]

Henry is such a gash bowler these days. Dunno if it's Dimi's fault or what but it's really sad to see.

Yeah, Henry's still a good prospect & had a reasonable tour of England in the Test matches, but it's fair to say he hasn't quite lived up to the hype.

 

[Zinzan]

I'm pleased we're chasing 230ish and not 140 tbh.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I'm pleased we're chasing 230ish and not 140 tbh.

Will you say that if we are 50/3 with Williamson & Taylor both dismissed?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

100 well done son

 

[Howsie]

Williamson really should've bowled out his 10 overs on that pitch.

 

[Zinzan]

Will you say that if we are 50/3 with Williamson & Taylor both dismissed?

I won't be particularly happy if we're 50/3, but I would like to see a decent chase.

There's actually a bit of depth in this batting line-up today in chasing 230. Elliott, Munro, Ronchi, NcCullum, Sodhi & Henry isn't the worst 5-10 with the bat.

 

[Howsie]

On a pitch like this though that line up doesn't look crash hot. Elliott. Munro and Ronchi are pretty average players of spin.

Williamson will need to hit a 90 here for mine.
