    I know you like to follow Vettori's bowling Jack. What do you make of his current form?

    The Best Young Batsmen in the world?

    Taylor hasn't played test cricket yet so I cannot say. I think if Fulton fails to make his mark in ODI cricket in the next year, he'll be pigeon-holed to test cricket because after all he has decent OD stats for Canterbury but his true ability has shown in the longer form.

    The Best Young Batsmen in the world?

    I'll throw Ross Taylor's name in to the mix.

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    There are only 3 players I believe in the current squad who went to the last U19 World Cup. De Boorder, Southee and Bartlett. Probably the 3 best players out of the last lot.

    It was poor but the game was over by the 30th over. It's no surprise some of the players took their minds off the job. Still, that's no excuse, they should have made a better effort to the finish the job. I wouldn't blame Fleming's captaincy because if NZ had held their catches late on, they...

    Pace is essential as long as the bowler can remain accurate. We've seen cases like Nantie Hayward where out and out pace can be extremely in-effective but if you can control fast pace it's extremely vital to a bowling side. Mainly because the batsmen has less time to think about what they're...

    It's all very well for Franklin to take wickets on a tricky pitch at Adelaide but as soon as he gets onto a track that is suitable for batting, he's fodder. Gillespie is offering more to the side right now with his pace and the fact that he can also holds catches lol.

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    As far as I know there is 1 test to go and the series is level 1-1. Then there are 3 one day matches. I think the Indian side then head to Malaysia for a few games.

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    Kane Williamson was in the news about 2 years ago when he hit 4 consecutive hundreds in an u17 tournament at the age of 13. If I recall correctly he had been given a bat used by Graham Thorpe. From what i've heard he's a special talent. But he's only 16 so there's no point hyping him up too...

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    jeez dude, are you going to make any decent discussion? or are you just here to flame a few people?

    I think they need to get Franklin out of the side now. He's dropped 2 sitters in this tournament now and his confidence will have dropped again. This is the worst fielding by NZ I have seen in a long long time. I don't know if Travis Wilson has anything to do with it but their standards...

    Franklin over Gillespie? interesting....

    It's not over till England finish their innings but it's a big ask. If NZ have a few games with this team: Vincent Fleming Fulton Taylor Styris Oram McCullum Vettori Mills Bond Gillespie Finals series could be interesting (providing we get there)

    Tremlett a bit of a liability in the field. He needs to watch how Fulton fields on the ropes.

    Vincent out. 219/5. I seriously hope we don't go off the rails because the hard work has been done.

    I think it will be McMillan because they can just do a straight swap with Styris. Fulton has also been consistently reaching the 20's and 30's he just needs to carry on. McMillan has got one big score and done jot all since.

    The problem for England is that New Zealand are playing 2 spinners. Panesar has gone 8 overs for 20 and you can bet that Vettori and Patel will be similar.

    NZ looking at about 280 right now. If Oram gets stuck in, we'll cruise past 300.

    man McMillan is stupid, he surely has to go for Styris next match.

    New Zealand want to becareful that they don't lose their way here. Vincent is being tied down and McMillan still trying to get his eye in. Looks like McMillan is being told off by the umpire for some reason. Looks like he's having a few exchanges with Nixon, lol that could get hilarious.
