***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[straw man]

Tend to think it's fairly pointless lamenting the talented cricketers who go to rugby, and that there's no money in domestic cricket. Very unlikely that either of these things will change and it's not the talent coming through that is the primary problem anyway. I think most of us agree this is one of the most 'talented' teams NZ has put out for the last 20 years (barring a period under Fleming). It's the mindset where almost everyone apart from Vettori struggles.

Shot, Brownlie.

Jeesh they look like *****

 

[Furball]

I don't have the stats to back me up, but I'm pretty sure Vettori's record in dire situations is >>> than his record in good ones.

Probably is, but the point is that I'm sure he'd love to come in in a situation where the top order have done their jobs properly and what Vettori does is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever.

 

[Bahnz]

His front foot game may be non-existent, but Brownlie really does look nice playing that pull shot.

 

[Spark]

Huge cheer goes up for the hundred.

 

[Athlai]

Any Aussies rueing the one that got away? Brownlie has been pretty impressive in this match.

 

[BeeGee]

Team ton! Well done lads. All raise your bats.

 

[benchmark00]

Did they have the Earl of Twirl during the tea break yesterday?

 

[Spikey]

uh who would he replace our middle order is rock solid bro

 

[_Ed_]

Brownlie's Test average is now a useful 89.

No not at all. Good on him for batting well though.

NZ are only 29 runs behind, Australia might end up having a testing little total to chase.

Did they have the Earl of Twirl during the tea break yesterday?

No, was something with Hayden.

 

[Furball]

Player's heart rate increases when he runs in to bowl.

Stunning use of technology.

 

[Spikey]

No, was something with Hayden.

it was very impressive stuff.

 

[_Ed_]

Brownlie! Glorious.

 

[hazsa19]

Player's heart rate increases when he runs in to bowl.

Stunning use of technology.

It's almost disappointing when the Ashes are on and we don't get to see or hear all the C9 crap.

Donald George Bradman
Dean Graham Brownlie

Definitely up there in the list of 'stupid introductions to cricket coverage, just because they can'.

Also in the hierachy: Interviews with players in session breaks, reaction time monitors and Mark Nicholas.

Hotspot to show the ball hitting the middle of the bat!
