I think How has confirmed that he is suited to the longer form of the game. He scored slowly when he made his 60 at Queenstown and seems to get himself into trouble when he tries to score quickly.

 

[Blaze]

Poor from Vincent. waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to wide to try and pull.


Ah well time for Flem to stand up.

 

[Blaze]

It's got to be said, a dreadful start. It would be nice if we could get off 14.

 

[Blaze]

What happened to the old Stephen Fleming?

He seems to be batting so defensively, the pitch is as flat as a pre puberty girl.

 

[Blaze]

That's more like it Flem.

Lol I am talking to myself here.

 

[_Ed_]

Some great shots in that last over, good to see from Fleming.

Not the best series for Fernando.

 

[Smudge]

That's more like it Flem.

Lol I am talking to myself here.

"Talking to myself and feeling low,
Sometimes I'd like to quit,
Nothing ever seems to fit..."

With the four that Flem hit a minute or 2 ago, he went past 7000 runs. Good milestone.

 

[Blaze]

Fernando doing his best to keep the stereotype kicking that sub continant fielders are still rubbish.

Yes, but I think he'd like to forget the way in which he brought it up.

What a joke CricInfo are:

What I cant understand is CRIC INFO been getting it WRONG all series as well. ie calling the Queenstown match "game 1" and generally refusing to acknowledge the 1st game in this series was played a year ago. Are they stupid or just being stubborn?

No idea but probably "stupid"

I've been switcing between the Aus/SA and SL/NZ games, and Fulton looks like a real talent. Been great in all 3 ODIs so far.

He blew a 100. Looks the goods though.

Every single black caps batsman has got himself out today. Styris doesn't break the trend.

 

[The Maestro]

jeez Styris and his little brain explosions can be frustrating at times If you are going to flat out slog, why do it vs a guy like Vaas or Muli? Anyone else is fine.....

I don't care who he targets but he should have waited another 5 overs at least. Now we are 5 down with still 16 overs left, we have to rebuild and wait longer til we launch.

 

[Blaze]

Ok, Cairns is back on the chopping block as far as I am concerned. He is showing very little to justify selection.

 

[Loony BoB]

Good show by Franklin in the last over. Four balls bowled and it's already 14 runs.

EDIT: 18 runs off the last over, NZ make 224/9. Should be interesting.

 

[Blaze]

Well played by James Franklin. Hopefully the bowlers can do better than the batsman did.
