**Official** New Zealand v World XI

[Tim]

That's really disappointing..it's a belter here today in Auckland.
I don't believe there are reserve days.

According to yahoo.co.nz, the Wellington weather should only be overcast with a bit of sun.

Although..you can never really trust those scientists at the met station.

Yeah to be fair I live about 25kms from the Stadium..

That is a webcam about five minutes from the stadium

[MoxPearl]

I rekon.. it is frustrasting. What part of Wellington are you from.. How close to the stadium?

 

[Tim]

We're still an hour away from the start of play...is there any chance that the weather could be clearing?

 

[marc71178]

We might have to get used to Sideshow Bob. He seems to be a Bracewell favourite and Oram is out for the season now. Terrible news for Black Caps fans but probably good news for him and Jeff Wilson

Oram out for the season?

Ouch - that's a real blow - but is Mills really the ideal replacement, or does this mean Styris get's another chance?

 

[MoxPearl]

well at the moment im up at raumati beach on the kapiti coast..

its not raining here.. but it has been earlier in the morning.. heavy as cloud thou..

the funny thing is.. its suppose to either tommorow/next day be all sunny and perfect again!

And im guessing since u say "P Town" u live in porirua :P

 

[Tim]

Mills at #7 for NZ could be a huge punt...but if you look at his FC stats, it appears that perhaps he could do the job there.

They need to bring in a genuine seemer to replace him. I would suggest it would be between Wilson and Mills

 

[sportychic33]

it stopped drizzling in lower hutt for about 5 minutes. . . am about 20km away (across the harbour) from the stadium.

 

[MoxPearl]

it was like this 2 days ago

They would just bump McCullum and Vettori up a place and he would bat following them

Of course the ideal would be Bond returns to full fitness!

 

[Tim]

IIRC the last 2 ODI's at the Cake Tin have produced a huge number of sixes..let's hope things get under way so the money can count up.

Yes indeed.. Speaking of Bond he obviously didn't play club cricket on Saturday because I saw him on tv at the Black Caps game with Richard Sherlock.. does anyone know why he wasn't playing?

 

[Tim]

The chances of Bond playing test cricket in the next year or so are almost 0. I think he'll definately be struggling to make the ODI series v Australia as well.

I think he should just pace himself and comeback when he feels ready. We'd desperately like to have him for the Aus series..but if it's not realistic then he should hold back.

Yes 300 played 300 when the BC's took on Pakistan. (Razzaq smashing 80 odd off 40 balls) and then in a 35 over match agaisnt South Africa 240 played 240 witch Pollock hitting four sixes in the last over to almost sneer an improbable victory

 

[rogerramjet]

It looks like the weather might clear
