:huh: :blink:

He hardly looked the part. Except for Bangalore, he struggled dearly.
Looking solid doesn't mean he was scoring truckloads of runs against them, but it means he was playing them with relative ease, he had starts in most of the games, but just threw it away almost every time while playing a rash shot.

So maybe his average drops to 80 odd?
Still a cut above the rest, if you ask me.
His running between wickets would have to suffer, although he doesn't really have to worry about muscle injuries as such. A broken bone could be career-threatening though!

bollocks, get hard you softy, have you actually confessed you didnt win the Rugby League World cup, sorry I meant the first 2 cricket 1 dayers, dont know how league slipped in
Great we NZ are in this situation, but we have consistantly done well since this cup started..

all good come on, we are enjoying dominating your team, just wondering when you guys are playing Scotland again, that should be a close game..

go hard kiwis
:laugh:

There's not a lot of difference between dominating and a close game with you guys is there?

Haha what? Lasting 20 balls an innings is looking solid? :1eye:

Rubbish, it was Kerry O'Keeffe that said it, & those of us that have heard plenty of his commentary over the years know he was just being a joker; that why you could hear him cracking-up in the background.
was he the one with the ... strangeish giggle laugh ???

sounded like he kinda spat when he laughed :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Hussey
Haddin
Johnson
Harris
Bracken
Hilfenhaus

No stragglers like Ferguson or Hauritz who won't and shouldn't be in this team's long term plans, just a straight out best batsmen and best bowlers we have at the moment. Hopefully will be enough to get us home with the adequate bowling options.

How have you managed to include Warner in the team then..... Ferguson >>> Warner (let alone White & Voges who are both >> Ferguson)

I don't see Ferguson as a long term option, he's only playing because everyone else is injured. I can't see Ferguson with his lone hand carrying Australia to 300+ scores, but even in his bad form, if Warner plays true to his style he alone can carry us to that mark. There's really nothing special about Ferguson, compared with Warner, the latter has the potential for a future.

Sweeping generalisations your new modus operandi, SOC? Classy, really classy. 8-)
Being overly touchy yours is it Volty? 8-)

I said you guys because the poster said "We are enjoying dominating your team", and I took 'we' to mean more than one person...hence 'you guys'. I think I have talked to most of the NZ supporters enough not to include them in this statement. Never even thought of it as including any of you.
