Finn back to bowling gash (genuine question, been out in York all day)?

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Don't think Swann fancies this much, tbh.

Nah, pad only on Hot Spot. Will be overturned.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's a proper bouncer.

Play that if you can; Brownlie couldn't.

 

[BeeGee]

Good ball.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Guptill is properly toilet against spin, isn't he? Really looks village out there.

 

[Prince EWS]

Brownlie will be particularly disappointed to get out to a short rock given it's his strength and he was starting to look slightly more comfortable against Swann. Good ball, but if Brownlie is going to be a success in Test cricket he can't be getting out like that.

 

[Howe_zat]

Taylor's been quality. Played really, really well after tea.

Just not a test quality batsman. Too many flaws in his technique.

Gun at T20, which highlights the ease with which flawed batting can succeed in T20.

Though English is not my native language, I think I'm not lying when I say my English is pretty ok. But you've got me here.

Being toilet = being crappy, as in a filthy toilet? Or being prefectly clean, like any toilet should be? Oor do you refer to making ones toilet?
Looking village = looking really cool, calm & collected? Or looking only fit to handle village cricket bowling?

Anyway, I think Guptill had a decent go in India a few years back.

Bolded the correct interpretations for you.

He's saying 'village' to imply the standard of play, and 'toilet' to describe the receptacle it deserves.

 

[Prince EWS]

Cribb to be banned from posting in match threads when Gillard's anti-Gambling advertising legislation comes in tbh.

I just Fy'd this post. Was actually pretty good.

 

[BeeGee]

Taylor's been quality. Played really, really well after tea.

Hopefully he's over his lean patch now. NZ's feeble batting desperately need him to be in form.

It's no coincidence that our test victories over Australia and Sri Lanka included significant contributions from Taylor with the bat.

 

[Stapel]

Thanks guys

 

[Meridio]

Hard hands from Guptill there, ball carried easily to slip. Was just a regular offspinner that didn't turn.

 

[Howe_zat]

Come again any time Guppers...

 

[BeeGee]

Hopefully that's the last test for Guptill. He should be NZ's permanent 12th man.

Huuuge wicket

Extra half hour?
