odds on ross buying his customary k fry and a bottle of red tonight?

Haha, I don't hate Smithy one bit. I love him, in fact. It's just that I saw him accost a kid selling hot dogs at Uni Oval and buy four off him, with no sign that any would be shared with Doull, Richardson and co.

How is Starc still bowling so quickly

Just speculating on this...he seems really rhythmical in his run up and action. Maybe he requires less physical exertion to bowl so quick.

I.e. the anti-Shaun Tait.

I wouldn't mind the big ol' slog sweep on anything in the zone Ross.

Taylor only behind Crowe in terms of previous NZ greats IMO. Too bad Williamson is already better after his last two years of total domination.

The verdict on who's the best is still out. Crowe, with the runs on the board, is still ahead IMO. Williamson was up on Taylor but Taylor has clawed his way back. Taylor still has a few more years of cricket ahead of him. Whoever ends up ahead it is great to have two world class players in our ranks.

I don't "like" Smithy cos he always jinxes our players!

Smithy is so, so chubbed up right now with Lord Ross and Doug at the crease..and the RWC in the bag.

 

[Gnske]

Ending with Slater and Brayshaw, what a high note to sign off with after such a glorious day.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Ross' triple still to come though.

So if this happens I'm the new mod right?

I think thats the same way Furball and Phlegm became mods.

 

[African Monkey]

Taylor with his highest test score now. He's set all sorts of records today lol.

 

[SteveNZ]

Go over the top for the next hour Smithy. I think we owe them.

ian smith on his soapbox about a central districts player. what a champion.

 

[jcas0167]

Crikey sort out the running between wickets please.

 

[Athlai]

Bracewell needs to bowl better than Anderson first.

Coached and played for Auckland. Turncoat.

And suggesting Bracewell could bat at 7...gone silly now.
