**Official** Pakistan in New Zealand (3 tests)

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.
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?

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.

hey cool it ok. there are kids reading these forums as well.

:laugh: 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.
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.

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.

Also, I heard Broom was dropped twice in the 20s & 30s today, notice you conveniently failed to mention that he's on his 3rd life :happy:

Kaneria has just booked a test spot for the next eighteen months. Expect figures of 45 overs 155 for 3 in Australia.

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.
