‘A peach of a seed’ shut up you idiot

Bit late to bring it up but I really annoyed me yesterday when Macca kept referring to Ravindra being the xth player or whatever to pass 150 or his maiden hundred as "record breaking". Joining a list isn't record breaking ffs (unless you go straight to the top).

 

[NZTailender]

Umpires call imo

 

[TT Boy]

Get Phillips on at the other end. Have a bowl-off.

Seifert drops a catch in a meaningless 20/20 game “Muppet, feet for hands” etc etc for two pages

Blundell drops one in a test match, crickets….

For Blundell that's a deviation from the norm but for Seifert it's his MO.

That said I was literally looking up the batting records of NZ domestic wicketkeepers...

I’m not entirely sure about Blundell’s keeping tbh. For me he mostly makes it on his batting which is also the discipline where I’m primarily critical of Seifert.

His footwork in particular is not a patch on Watling's, he frequently gets himself into situations were he has to take the ball at awkward heights or way outside his eyeline. He's got good hands though which usually makes pretty good v the spinners (ironically given that drop).

 

[Bahnz]

That was coming.

 

[Athlai]

The age of Santner has come

 

[thierry henry]

Pretty lame looking dismissal but credit Santner for continuing to bowl slow and trying to give it a rip

 

[Athlai]

Ripper of an over

 

[thierry henry]

I’m not sure McMillan really thinks Santner is a young 32, that felt more like a full blown existential crisis about the rapid passing of time

Reckon Ajaz is sitting at home watching Santa bowling on probably the most spin friendly NZ pitch we've seen in the last 20 years thinking "You ****ing lucky ****"
