He's lost some weight though, right?

 

[pasag]

Good session for Aus, could have been better but could have been a lot worse as well.

He looks fitter that's for sure. Still BFJ though, hope he keeps it TBH. As long as he has his mojo going the character is great.

Would like to see him become BJ as oppose to BFJ. He still has a way to go. If he has the discipline to lose another 10kgs or so, then I think he will be a better cricketer as a result. A good diet and eating habits can do wonders for ones state of mind.

Given the press thing, I take it there are no photos whatsoever to find online?

Top knock by Katich. It's been a gritty and determined innings. What a terrific player, and a good bloke too.

traitor, left WA, proof that eastern staters get more of a look in

 

[Rant0r]

77km/h, the ball that got Lee out, I have been quicker on my bicycle (granted I was going downhill).

ever thought that was the idea ? it's obviously not turning

 

[Rant0r]

Love Vettori. I think its a pre-requisite that you're not a Kiwi to like him or something

given the situation he's in he's a champion

someone said on tv yesterday that he's averaged 39 with the bat in the last few years, someone statsguru that

Dire, left so he could work on his spin game.

Also helps if you're one of the best and most consistent batsmen in domestic cricket.

Haha, **** Healy is stupid. Ripping into NZ for "only" bowling 30 overs.

Not as bad as Mark Taylor

"thats a good bouncer because it went high"

Since 2003 he's averaged 38 with the bat and 32 with the ball.

41 and 29 since 2005.

38 and 27 since 2007.

cheers, both his hundreds against the minnows, still more than respectable against the stronger test playing nations, is he perhaps a little low at 8 ?

Averages over 44 iirc batting at 8, and <30 everywhere else.

 

[NZTailender]

Match is slipping away from us with this partnership.

 

[Rant0r]

Averages over 44 iirc batting at 8, and <30 everywhere else.

which is probably still better than a lot of blokes they've tried in the top 6

 

[Easto241091]

why does lee bat above johnson??????

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

When the lead goes over 300, that'll be a big mental barrier. It would require some heroics from more than a couple of the NZ batsmen. Slipping away, indeed.

 

[Rant0r]

Averages over 44 iirc batting at 8, and <30 everywhere else.

which is probably still comparable if not better than a lot of blokes they've tried in the top 6

and i apologise to pakistan, his 137 was against them, not bangladesh as i thought

speaking of tailenders, how good is johnson, i've always thought he could bat a bit, but he genuinly looks like he could play as a batsman, still not big on his bowling though, quick as fvck though
