Maybe McCullum can be a runner for McMillan .....while still on the park.

Macca can hit it, and McCullum runs two. Macca just stands there.NZ gets one run because pitch length was for McCullum and the other was for Macca

 

[Fiery]

That hit him outside the line didn't it?

 

[_Ed_]

Not sure about that LBW...but we got a shocker in our favour earlier so I can't complain really.

 

[McKanga]

Shortening at present. McMillan and McCallum up to 120 near end of 33rd over and look well settled.

Crystal ball for sale.

 

[Fiery]

Another bad decision. A simple replay could have avoided that one. No need for any fancy technology. A quick question to the 3rd umpire, watch it again...20 secs later...not out.

 

[Nate]

Meh, that`s cricket. All evens out. We should`ve had one before.

Good tight stuff by Pidge. Hopefully McMillan can stay there for a while.

 

[_Ed_]

50 for McMillan.

Feels very weird saying that.

 

[_Ed_]

If our top order had been even slightly less abysmal we'd be in a pretty good position right now.

 

[Josh]

White is a much better batsman to be a specialist #7. If he's not going to bowl, bat him up the order. His selection seems pointless otherwise.

Ponting is a bloody useless captain at the moment.

 

[Matt52]

If Macca and Franklin can stay for the next 7 or so overs and we get 4 or 5 runs of each over , then 200 isnt out of the question.

 

[Fiery]

All the way. You beauty! Is it too early to say "the Mac is back!"?

 

[Matt52]

Cmon Macca. starting to get on a role now. Please dont let this be a jinx

 

[Josh]

Ah, yes. 10 overs to go. 3 wickets in hand. Gonna give the young guy a lot of confidence. Ponting surely believes in him...

 

[_Ed_]

All the way. You beauty! Is it too early to say "the Mac is back!"?

I'm wondering if I'm going to encounter flying pigs on my drive home from work, but I don't think it is too early.

I am struggling to come to terms with this phenomenon.

Like Hussey and Clarke, who spent a lot of time at 7 early in their careers without bowling much if at all?

White is perfectly suited to batting 6 or 7, and his bowling is only good enough at this stage to be ranked alongside the likes of Symonds.

 

[Josh]

Should be given more of a chance rather than in the last 10 overs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Should be given more of a chance rather than in the last 10 overs.

It's not all about White though.

 

[Jono]

Symonds and White bowling fairly ordinary atm.

I just hope he doesn't find it necessary to thumb his nose at his critics like he usually does after he scores runs on comeback. We can still get 230 if these two stay in

 

[_Ed_]

How many times are they going to show that catch that wasn't given?

I didn't see Friday's game but I'd confidently bet they've shown it more than they showed Hussey's.
