*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

[Blakey]

Is it too much to ask to be more than just competent at one, and embarassingly **** at the other? All the other teams seem to manage it OK.

This is the NZ cricket team here. It's bleeding obvious that it's too much to be adequate at both forms of the game. Can't wait to see how quickly this score is knocked off!

 

[Bahnz]

What players do NZ selectors turn to now after this

Well exactly. With the exception of Ryder (Oram is looking less and less likely to make it back now), this is our best team.

Good onya NcCullum.

16 overs if we are lucky

they have 20 before lunch - I'll go for 14.

 

[NZ Guy]

Andy Moles must be sitting back with a huge smile on his face. At least he got out while he was still ahead, results wise.

Haha so true! If I was him I would be lapping this up "haha you thought I was a **** coach, look at you useless ****s now!"

Think that'a the first time Ive ever seen an umpire been totslly swayed by the appeal.

Oh wow that is a shocker! Umpiring has been horrendous!

edit: appologies to the ump

 

[Blakey]

Vettori should have head butt the ump. Would have been beautiful.

 

[Bahnz]

Very unusual to see an umpire so obviously swayed by the fielders. You could literally see him thinking "Nah, that's not out...Oh wait a minute, they all seem pretty convinced...maybe I'm wrong...yeah I'm probably wrong...I should give him out."

Agreed. Bet the guy is always peer pressured into drink driving. What a disgrace.

 

[Bahnz]

Oh that was so out. The umpire giveth...

 

[Mike5181]

This Parthiv Patel guy has the biggest baby face i have ever seen...he looks like 12 but he is 25

 

[NZ Guy]

Haha I think he may have known he ****ed up the last one

 

[Howsie]

How could you not give that out?

Haha nice appeal for a HUGE edge behind from Vettori. Tidy.

 

[Howsie]

Vettori

If we manage to make a game of this, it'd be the most hilarious thing ever.

 

[Blakey]

Hmmm. Williamson would be quite handy on this pitch - taking turn like its being played on 30 grit sandpaper.

 

[Mike5181]

I would die of laughter if we even come close
