please dont bowl O'rourke into the breeze

Surely Latham could have played as a batsman?

no no its fine

 

[ataraxia]

Boo, Latham's injured.

I really don’t like the look of Hay as our new keeper. Nothing against how he plays, I just literally don’t like the look of him. Why is a keeper so lanky and why does our token youngster look like a well-maintained 48 year old rural bank manager who hits on all the young interns.

Thar is a very green pitch, for an ODI. Assume that is lead up weather related.

Could be interesting, though, if had any faith could get in a full game.

Flat pitches, suck. Even in ODIs.

I'd question how many interns a rural bank would actually require.

I'd question how many interns a rural bank would actually require.

Look I definitely muddled my stereotypes there but let’s say that they have one intern at a time and it’s really only semi-rural, they have enough wealthy old-money South Island clients to be able to employ some junior staff. Being the only employee on a trial period makes it particularly awkward for young…Annabelle.

 

[straw man]

Others have already said this is just what Hay had to do to look 35+ and make this NZ side. We should applaud his initiative. Have others like Fisher or Mariu considered a season or two driving a tractor or selling farm insurance to impress Farmer Stead? Might be a good idea.

Fisher, being a baby face is particularly disadvantaged.

Maybe take up darts. 17yo my eye

Cricinfo freudian slip:

Sri Lanka can't afford another wicket here. This is a back of-a length ball that takes off, and Asslanka is caught on the crease as he plays a defensive shot.

 

[thundaboult]

unfair for asian teams to face henry with a new ball in nz/eng conditions he is a cheat code

 

[ataraxia]

Cricinfo freudian slip:

I think writing "back of-a length" is the bigger fail here tbh

 

[ataraxia]

This is fun to watch.

kookaburra single-handedly revived his career with the new seam

 

[Immenso]

I reckon that DRS overturn. That he both nicked it with bat and then the huge pad deflection, but nick didn't register on snicko.

Justice for Illingworth.

 

[Bahnz]

Bowling with the wind admittedly but Duffy bowling with good pace that spell, getting up to 144kph.

Straight up and its gone for six
