*Official* New Zealand vs India Tests & ODIs

[Tim]

Spearman rarely gets going in NZ, his average stays up because once or twice he hits a quickfire century of fifty.
I don't know if he's going back to England at this stage...

Yeah Schwass is no more than a medium fast bowler..umm probably similar to that of Craig White.

To be honest i've only seen Schwass bowl a couple of times & im not sure what he does to have such a great bowling record..last season he got 49 wickets at an average of 11 if you can believe it. So he must have a special way of getting wickets, thats for sure.

Awww come on, Craig ain't that bad Oh well I suppose even Collingwood got 4-38 in a ODI in NZ...its the conditions. Also I suppose its the lack of quality batsmen too. But still he has 2 for 41 against India...that's not bad.

Well if he has a record like that I guess he will be going back to England

 

[Tim]

make it 3 for Schwass, he just got Agarkar out lbw..lol.

 

[Rik]

3-41 now...got good 'ol AA out 2nd ball for 0

 

[Tim]

Mason gets Ganguly for 48...161/8

 

[Rik]

That looks about it for India. CD could win this match I think. And I heard TendulkarMark2 claiming that England were a disgrace...

Anyway what you got on Brent Hefford?

[James]

Tim - can you report on this game please? Under New Zealand and India sections?

 

[Tim]

Although Hefford's been relatively expensive in this match..he's been another outstanding bowler for C.D

He's really only a medium pacer, but opens the bowling and averages 22 in One Dayers at an Econ of 3.89.
Only 23 & I know that the selectors were interested in him last season.

just completed one James.

Oh go on...tell me about the other 2 then you might as well

 

[James]

Thanks Tim - good news item

Can you post that under the New Zealand section as well please.

Also, can you do the updates at the close of play on each day and post it under "MainHeadline", "NewZealand" and "India?

 

[Tim]

Alright Rik..if you insist.

Lance Hamilton: Left-armer similar to Zaheer Khan in style & pace probably.

Michael Mason: Right arm medium fast bowler, nothing really special...has a stuttery type of action which looks weird but takes alot of wickets which is fine, heh.

 

[Rik]

Tanks

 

[Rik]

Right its 2:17am and I have to get up at 7:45am for work...night people.

 

[Rik]

Schwass to Harbhajan Singh, one run, hits high in the air back over the bowler, looks like a certain 4 but the man in the deep cuts it off

spin coming into the attack for the first time today

Odd...I thought Schwass was a Right Medium-Fast Seamer... Silly Cricinfo...

 

[Tim]

you're up again are you Rik?

I thought it was a general opinion of Cricket viewers! Just went through a couple of Aussie News paper, Naseer is being mocked and his dad is furious at that

Don't worry I'm just joking don't take it so seriously! I was just thinking though that if he's scoring 27 runs per 100 balls against a supposivly weak District team then what's he going to do in the Tests? Anyway I feel he is way-over rated and it's nice to be proved right

But how is that "proved right"?

On the basis of one innings when he still performed reasonably well.

AFAIK he is - did OK at Glouster last summer.
