Interesting way to moan about your team. Take 2 points.

Yes, I support NZ but I am also a cricket fan. I like watching good cricket being played. A challenge between bat and ball. Not piss poor batting against a very ordinary bowler.

whoever said that we should start getting lowercase liberal with forum atmosphere bans had the right idea imo

Wahab gets far too much unwarranted hate.

I think a better jonbrooks criticism might be that it is a bit of an indictment on the team coaching and development that two debutants with very little hype around them made their peers look very ordinary.

In the last 2 years, has any batsman or bowler in the national set up improved?

Wagner, right? That's it, as far as I can tell.

 

[jonbrooks]

Kane's dismissal, right up there with the Pakistani poor play. A waft outside off. No foot movement.

Taylor was a bit unlucky getting strangled down leg side. Never good those ones.

Well if you have two piss poor teams playing each other, this is what will happen. Would suggest you set up a match between Australia's Invincibles of the 00s and the WI side of the 80s in EA Cricket 2007 and put it on third person play.

Haters gonna hate.

Only the great Imran Khan can convince smali into a deal

Imran loves blokes who can bowl fast. Wahab is what you get when you put Imran's words into action - don't worry about swing, don't worry about no balls, don't worry about line/length. Just bowl fast'

A very good point. Yes, Wagner would be the only one. Kane was on the ascendancy for a while but has fallen off sharply in recent times.

What are these two "piss poor" teams you're talking about? NZ? Yes, I agree. Pakistan? You do know they are rated number 2 at the moment, right?

I can see you think you're all cute and clever but you are just another poster on this forum who knows very little about cricket.

Can we stop considering leg side strangles unlucky when it's a huge technical deficiency and lazy batting from anyone who gets out attempting to tuck the ball off their hips without properly playing the delivery downward...? It's one of the worst myths in cricket that, that particular dismissal is "unlucky" rather than batsman error.

Leg side strangles can be unlucky but they can also be a technical deficiency if they happen a few times. Don't know enough about Taylor to suggest what it is

 

[SeamUp]

About a week ago he lost the shoot-off to Gup. Just shows you.

It certainly is only early days but that was an encouraging openers innings by Jeet.

Supposedly he went to school with little Parthiv Patel.

 

[Teja.]

Should Prince Colin bat above or below Hadlee in the ATG NZ XI?

 

[Dead Meat]

Way to harsh my mellow.

Your welcome! Jeez, imagine drawing Jonbrooks in Secret Santa...

How dare black_warrior you don't know Pakistan rate #2 atm and was #1 few days ago? About time you send a CV to sky commentary team so you can watch more cricket

I guess part of that theory is that the bowler didn't intend to send it down leg-side? For Taylor, for example do you think that line was someone strategic/part of their pre-planning etc? Agree though, even if it wasn't strategic can still be technically deficient in dealing with that delivery e.g. Joe Burns at Hobart

He went to the same school as Martin Guptill as well.

Great work from Colin today. What a legend!

A Blocky post with keywords "Taylor", "Lazy", and "Hips" is dangerous territory
