**Official** New Zealand v Australia

[Blaze]

I do England are my home team, australia are my favourite team, i support both, but when both eng & aus meet i find myself in a quandary

Right.. my faviourte team to watch would be Australia too if i didn't have any sense of pride for my own country.

It should be a very easy choice for you

The problem with him, I feel, is that there is no pressure on him from other keepers in the country

right on Blaze thats exactly why

 

[Blaze]

argh mccullum gone. . . where is the pressure on him from the media and the public very disappointing series. ..

There is noone even near to replacing him though

 

[Right arm fast]

maybe they should drop mccullum to give him a wake up call??
hopkins is a pretty solid player so i think they should give him a crack at srilanka

Wow Fiery posted 376 times in this thread. Almost double the amount of the next person (Somerset). Where has he got to I wonder?

Hopkins got a 50 aganist SL for the Major Ass. XI so i don't think he will be such a bad bet. How does his keeping stack up to McCullum???

how did you find that out blaze?

Before you enter a specific thread you go across to the column where it says replies and it will have a number and you just click on it and it comes up with how many posts each member has contributed to that thread

Does that make sense?

I don't think his keeping would be up to test match standard yet..

I saw Hopkins during the Natwest series in last year and he looked pretty good with the gloves and the bat

Blaze, for someone who started a thread about "A lot" being two words, you should know that "No one" is the same.

With the bat, didn't he bat once and get a duck

Can anyone work out what Lloyd says at the end of each over.

He says 'Over' and then he says something and it's the same thing every time

anyway u lads i'm goin to hit the sack now, the Kiwis are scoring fast and i dont want to see that, chat with u bloeks later

IMO Vettori is almost an Allrounder these days.

When he goes out to bat I actually expect him to make at least 20-30 runs.

I heard during this test through one of the commentators that is the last few seasons his average is actually over 30
