Nice striking in the last few balls by McCullum. Regardless of what happens in this game, I hope it's helping him find some form ahead of the World Cup itself.

Some crappy stuff by Nehra here.

I just want to see some decent scores posted up by our top 5 batsmen tbh. Don't think 360 is a realistic target but McCullum and Taylor specifically need some time at the crease.

LOL, has Manjrekar been watching India lately? Says "that's why Sreesanth is such a good Test bowler these days.." That said, he's bowling better than Nehra here..

Good single. These two are both so quick between the wickets - they need to take advantage of that.

Yeah, i paused when he said that as well. He is improving though.

McCullum with back issues? ****. Please no.

 

[Mike5181]

McCullum would dominate Sreesanth in a fight. Would have to be the least intimidating guy in cricket. Apart from Broad.

Kane Williamson is another tbh.

Phwoar, Guppy. Love it when he plays that shot.

 

[Edged&Taken]

unleash bhaji now

 

[Mike5181]

They should have opened with spin Nehra is rubbish atm.

 

[_Ed_]

Pure class from Guppy. But he's nearing the 30s now.

**** that. 360 on the board, lets see which pacer goes for the least in his 10 overs. Need to figure out the 2nd (and possibly 3rd God forbid) seamer for the actual games.

 

[Jono]

Nehra and Sreesanth are ****ing ****. If we won the WC it'd be disgusting that these two ****s would have a medal.

 

[Mike5181]

Gavaskar talking some BS at the moment.

 

[Daemon]

wtf @ turn

 

[mrcheek]

There is no such thing as peaking too early, really. Australia haven't lost a World Cup game for more than a decade...

India and Pakistan in 1987.

England and New Zealand in 1992.

South Africa in 1999, 2003, 2007......

Agree.

360 up in a warm-up, never been any less pressure on these ****ers. If they can't bowl well they can gagf

Hardly needs to be pointed out anymore, but again Guptill gets out in the 30s after looking magnificent.
