Correction Bangladesh already defeated Zimbabwe in Odi series. New Zealand will be 2nd if it looses...

Third. They finally picked up two series wins against Kenya in the 2006-7 season

Heartbroken, but theres another chance on Monday

I'm not gonna lie, this loss hurt Giving Oram 2 lifes to add another 45 runs and than the match being 50/50 needing 140 of 120 with 7 Wickets in hand.

Mahmudullah is the most useless Cricketer ever, Can't bowl, bat or Catch

Chittagong will be intresting, It should be much easier for the Batting Sides but the Dew Should play a Big Factor as Mortaza and Rasel have exploited it before. I would say Bat first but both batting line ups are fragile.

I expect Tamim and McCullum will both be in the runs for the decider

 

[Craig]

Can we start the Mashrafe Mortaza Appreciation Society?

 

[Julian87]

Even more bloody obvious now that Oram has to bat in the top 5/6.

One Day Internationals
Daniel Flynn - 89 runs @ 14.83
Grant Elliott - 103 runs @ 51.50; 9 wickets @ 8.88 (3.28)

New Zealand Domestic One Day Cricket
Daniel Flynn - 853 runs @ 31.59; 6 wickets @ 46.50 (5.93)
Grant Elliott - 645 runs @ 49.61; 35 wickets @ 24.45 (4.95)

Why!?!?

I'm sure he'll hit a ton and win New Zealand the game now I've posted this, but the selection just makes no sense AFAIC.

Yeah not sure why Flynn keeps getting picked as he has not even slightly convinced in ODIs.

 

[Athlai]

I don't like Elliot or Flynn TBH. Fulton.... Fulton... Fulton...

 

[Craig]

if your taking it off cricinfo they have been messing it up.

That I was.

Not suited to the position we're talking about though.

 

[Nutter]

Styris also needs a decent knock. Getting frustrated with him.

If we want to play an over-the-hill all-rounder, then let's get Paddles out of retirement. He could hardly be worse.

Or more realistically, Cairnsey (either Lance or Chris)

 

[Athlai]

Not suited to the position we're talking about though.

Na Fulton could play 5 or 6 IMO.

Ryder McCullum How

Taylor Fulton Oram(Broom or Hay to come)

And one day Ryder may move down the order, reckon it could suit him.

What does the Heathster reckon about the future of young mr Ryder?

 

[aussie]

Apologies if is come across ignorant with this question, but Kiwis what really is Shane Bond's position?

I feel where The Big Jesse is concerned, you're better off making sure the short term is sorted before you think long term.

 

[Athlai]

He wants to play.
We want him to play.

BUT the BCCI's stance on ICL means he can't and won't. Our board doesn't have the muscle or guts to go up against the BCCI, so unfortunately unless the ruling on ICL changes drastically soon. He will not play for the Black Caps again.

Is that a not terribly confident message about the Big J?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Is that a not terribly confident message about the Big J?

He's obviously good enough. I still reckon he's the most talented Kiwi batsman since Martin Crowe; but he's a flake.

I believe he's been working closely with Canterbury A all-rounder and New Zealand international indoor cricketer, Sonnie Chan to keep him in line and teach him a thing or two about fitness. Let's hope he picked something up from that.

 

[Athlai]

He does seem to have this awful habit of scoring a few runs and as soon as someone gets out he throws his wicket away. His fitness is also a bit of a concern, yet despite the fact he's a big bastard he's still agile in the field and with the bat. A real weirdo

Certainly a little bit strange, in my experience.

An unfortunate experience then?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

An unfortunate experience then?

No, not at all. I've met him a few times and he's just a little bit... eccentric.

Bit then, I guess it often takes one to know one...
