Loving CCairns during the break on Fox. Does he do much commentary work in NZ? His studio work is first rate IMO.

He's lived in Canberra for ages now; I don't think he's ever done any commentary work in New Zealand. Pops up on Fox for this sort of studio work every so often.

[uvelocity]

You and I both know that you'll be here in 3 hours time crying butt tears because NZ choked in the final over.

Why was Ronchi picked for OD stuff when he did nothing in their domestic comp

Pricey regatta sank Cairns' events company

Could be hearing a lot more from Cairns in the booth.

how much rage is there across the tasman at having Johnson, a few medium pacers and a straight break bowler as the odi attack? mckay is a gun but surely the bogans be mad?

 

[uvelocity]

if johnson doesnt break someones finger or take a hatty this over im going to sleep

Does anyone know how to work out just how many runouts Martin Guptill has affected since he made his international debut? I wouldn't be surprised if it was up around the 20 mark in all three forms of the game. He gets plenty of **** on CW but he's genuinely one of the best fielders I've ever seen.

nope. if we dont win this (we wont) better we get bundled out now and start knuckling down for the ashes.

Hype.

Played the entire one day comp out of position too as practice for this, so they knew he sucked at opening before he was selected, and he sucked at opening in a year when 350 was the average score.

 

[Maximas]

yeah I'm off, I'll save the all-nighters for the ashes.

Trawl through scorecards on cricinfo? Fielders get the credit plus the ball by ball coverage means you can work out direct hits vs throws to the keeper.

Anyone fancy working out what New Zealand need to be on at the end of 20 overs to win?

 

[Flem274*]

poi e? random

80, according to Duckworth-Lewis Calculator

which they'd have to push a little harder to get (assuming they stay two down)

edit: 78. Close enough
