Gambhir does seem to be a little slow on camera tbf to Taylor.

No its not. the word is most commonly used in the Hindi speaking belt, regions which strictly dont allow marriages between cousins.
The practice of marrying cousins used to be common in Maharasthra and southern regions, but now that the risks are more widely known, it is limited mostly to villages and is rare in cities

It means sister-****er. It's used the same way as mother-****er.
That's pretty cool.

Haha, I just watched the moment in question. Right when Gambhir gets caught, and is walking back, Ross Taylor seems to turn back and yells it. Now it could have been something else, but it definitely looked like it was indeed 'bhen****.'
That's pretty awesome. Love it.

It can totally be used as an adjective. I was 11 and I was already using it as a verb, adjective, and a noun.

Literally, it is a sister related abuse. But often gets used like the articles (a, an, the) in Hindi. Some people just can't complete a sentence without inserting this word

LOL, who cares?
Can't wait for the T20 tomorrow. Yes, I can't believe I'm saying that.
What do NZ posters think our gun T20 lineup should be?
McCullum (wk)
Guptill
Williamson
Taylor
Franklin
Oram
McCullum
Vettori
Southee
Bracewell
Mills
I doubt that any of those bowlers will be able to restrict runs, apart from Vettori. So, it may be better just to go for all out firepower for runs and wickets, so perhaps bring in Milne (LOL at cricinfo for listing him as medium-fast in our squad listing)?
I'm placing Oram at no.6 because he needs a couple of sighters when he comes in.
Styris would still fit into this team very nicely.

No Bracewell please. He generally just bowls Test lengths and gets spanked. Would be better if he didn't play T20 at all tbh, don't want it messing with his bowling like it did with Southee.
I'd quite like to see Milne play. Seems like he's worked hard and if we're gonna put him in the squad we may as well pick him. Nathan McCullum won't be playing though. He's not in India yet I don't think.

Considering putting this into my signature - I have said this at least three times on CW. He seems to be getting less swing these days btw. Let him be a test bowler and if he wants an ODI bowler. Let Southee do whatever he wants.
@DOG - Oram is terrible wherever you put him which is a shame. I would have him at number 9 or 10 in my team.

Yeah it still kinda baffles me that the selectors haven't realised it yet. Although they probably like the whole "can hit a big nut" aspect to him so continue picking him to add batting depth.
Edit: That actually applies to both Oram and Bracewell now that I think about it.

Erkh, our T20 team is horrible. Though I don't care much for T20, might watch just to see Milne bowl (assuming he plays). Can't see us winning or for that matter, beating any decent team in the T20 world cup. Only place significant T20-speed runs are going to come from are Taylor and maybe Guptill. On paper the middle-lower order looks ok though in reality fails to deliver. And the bowling is taken apart by the quality aggressive strikers that most other teams have (Gayle etc).
Had a hard time remembering who else was in the squad - it's:
New Zealand (from): Ross Taylor (c), Brendon McCullum, Rob Nicol, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, James Franklin, BJ Watling, Nathan McCullum, Jacob Oram, Doug Bracewell, Daniel Vettori, Kyle Mills, Ronnie Hira, Tim Southee, Adam Milne.
Assuming they're all available (BFP what's this about no NcCullum?):
Guptill
McCullum
Nicol (wanna see some ugly mows)
Taylor
Franklin
Watling
NcCullum
Southee
Vettori
Oram
Milne (for entirely selfish reasons - wanna see him bowl faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast). More sensibly, Mills.
Tempted to drop a bowler for a batsman and make do with four overs of part-time pies. Probably wouldn't be much worse than how NcCullum and probably Southee's bowling is going to be smashed by the Indians. But then again, the extra batsman probably wouldn't do any better with the bat than NcCullum and Southee either
. It's so long since we had lower order players who could reliably throw the bat and score some runs in limited overs - creates a real balance problem.
