Gold.guys this is not the time to lose heart with the team ok. they tried hard but came up short today. important thing is that they gave it their all. thats all we can ask for
Still doesn't suddenly make his a 'crap test player' even if he has performed below what his talent suggests .... conveniently forgetting his 78 & amazingly freakish catch in the last game are we?No its not. Haddin, Prior, Dhoni and Akmal all average comfortably higher. Boucher and Jayawardene average about where McCullum is. However Boucher played a large chunk of his career before Bangladesh entered and before Zim became useless, while Jayawardene is really SL's second keeper because they want to get the best they can out of Sanga's batting. Only Ramdin averages comfortably less. His efforts are below par by modern international standards.
And no, one rubbish shot doesn't suddenly make him a crap test player, its the fact that he's being doing this **** for the last 5 years without ever learning a thing. He's a fantastically talented player and he averages 30. He doesn't know how to bat properly and he consistently wilts when his side is in trouble.
Oh and Vettori's gone now. With the pitch likely to turn a bit in the 4th innings I think its safe to say this match is already lost.
New Zealand can go and **** right off
Useless ****ing ****s. How many ****ing times you ****ing **** ***** ****ing stupid ****ing ****s?
**** off.
How many times, eh? Hmmm, let me guess, ****, bowl the opposition out for 250-300, totally **** up the first innings and **** yourselves, get ****ed for 150 or less. Poor ****ing bowlers have to bowl again, they are tired, the opposition have their tails up and score 400. 500 to win the match.
Count how many times this has happened in the last three years?
**** you New Zealand. I am glad a man of Shane Bond's class is not at the ground to witness this.
I actualy sort of agree.Joke batting line-up. Broom's currently 100* and averages over 40 in FC cricket, guess that's not good enough huh. Get rid of Flynn, McIntosh, Fulton and Elliott and bring in Broom, Watling, Brodie and Williamson.
Yeah. DoG you're hurting my poor innocent young eyes.hey cool it ok. there are kids reading these forums as well.
thats the right attitude flem. u need to laugh these things off.lolololololololololololololololol
nz supporters are soo fickle. it's just one inning. we won the last game remember.
I was saying the exact same stuff before and after the first test, this batting line-up is terrible.nz supporters are soo fickle. it's just one inning. we won the last game remember.
Fulton averages 40 & just came off a big FC 100 too, you must learn that FC form doesn't always translate to Test matches..also I've said before, everytime I've seen Broom at International level he misses straight balls & is LBW or bowled.Joke batting line-up. Broom's currently 100* and averages over 40 in FC cricket, guess that's not good enough huh. .
Meh, Williamson would only play until Ryder's good to go. As long as we get Elliott, Fulton, McIntosh and Flynn out of this team I'll be happy. They will never be even decent test batsmen.I actualy sort of agree.
I'd have Vettori at six and a bowling allrounder/bowler that can bat at eight
I'd like to bring in Brodie and the ND pair but Watling is a project, Brodie is raw and Williamson is my age and out of nick.
Nah look, even if you're out for 99, do you see us chasing that?Love them Pakistani bowlers!
Now, Pakistani batsmen to self-implode in 3, 2, 1...
Even if you self implode for 100 you'll still win this one - classic NZ lose-the-match-in-one-session trick.Love them Pakistani bowlers!
