Just saw Vettori's catch off Cameron White, that was an awesome catch as it was pretty much past him. Good to see Vettori shouldering Captaincy and also performing with bat, ball and also in the field.

Doesn't appear to be any highlights today.

If all else fails, the cricket company on thursday night will have a highlights package for sure.

Also, if you wanna see wickets or boundaries, the www.blackcaps.co.nz 431 club now has video highlights for every dismissal and boundary..its very cool and its free to join.

Thanks for the link. Do you know of any ways to download the clips?

I wish sky sport wouldn't use 18 hours of each day on Eurosportnews.

 

[Tim]

Once you sign up, on the menu bar to the right there is a link called "interactive video highlights"

once you click on that, it'll take you to the scorecard and there are links that will show you how each player got out and in the 4's & 6's columns there are links to show you each players boundary hits.

I was talking about downloading the clips onto my computer, instead of just watching them. I figured it out anyway.

Its quite a cool website by the way.......anyway it doesn't allow you to save the download, only open from the location.

That has never worked, I log in and click on highlights and it just takes me to a page with a sample scorecard and telling me to sign up to 431 so then I click on log in but it already says im logged in grrrr.

Ian Smith is a complete jackass imo. Everyone I know loves him and thinks he is so astute, but imo he's just about the worst commentator going atm. He's become incredibly full of himself and keeps on rattling off detailed explanations of the same theories he's been talking about for 5 years as if they are the most exciting thing in the world. He is also blatantly and shamelessly biased which he perhaps thinks is endearing, but I find lame.

My absolute pet peeve with Ian Smith is that, when batsman are hitting sixes etc at the end of a one-day innings, he says "you just can't bowl it there to Symonds/Hussey, it's in his hitting zone and is always going to end up in the stands". He makes it sound as though hitting length balls for 6 is the easiest thing in the world, can be done at will, and deserves absolutely no praise.

Totally agree.........Add to that the fact he thinks he's a mindreader

The commentary team is missing Crowe IMO

 

[Mister Wright]

I think Adam Parore is a good commentator.

 

[Tim]

Yeah I rate Parore highly. but he's started his own mortage company so it's unlikely he'll appear on tv now. A couple of years back it seemed as though he was going to become a regular but he only made a few appearances.
He might seem a bit arrogant at times, but he is an extremely intelligent man & I think he reads the game very well.

Holy Cow! Whacki-do! NO!

Parore was boring. Too many cliches.

Best SKY trio at the moment - Smith, Slater and Coney.

WTF,Parore has to many cliches,Coney is the king of cliches

 

[Mister Wright]

Yeah, but at least Coney is funny.

 

[Blaze]

Holy Cow! Whacki-do! NO!

.

you missed the de between whacki and do.

Crowe has so much knowledge about batting and captaincy. I can't believe that people can't see past his attempts at trying to get excited. It's just like Bill Lawry with his 'Bang!'

Honestly Crowe knows a shed load about the game and I have been told that he is apparently doing the first 2 Sri Lankan ODI's over the new year to fill in for Michael Slater which will be good.

 

[cric_manic]

Yeah, but at least Coney is funny.

yea his pitch reports are great

 

[Tim]

Coney probably does the most in-depth pitch review out of anyone.

 

[andyc]

Can anyone tell me who man of the series was?? Cricinfo doesn't show it...

 

[cric_manic]

Ponting?
