I hate rain reduced matches and it suits Gayle's style of play to have less overs at a higher run rate IMO. Yet 40 overs isn't so bad and this is still a relatively fair contest, if we can get Gayle soon the game should be ours.

Yeah, because Duckworth-Lewis always goes in NZers favour.

Not really. Broom looked good out there. Also, not too convinced by McDonald who just debuted for Australia and if one read my posts in the Australia v South Africa tour thread my dislike of the Aussies would be evident. for different reasons than you though.Yet if he was wearing an Australian jumper you'd say he was the next world beater
Can't we be happy that we have a century from a New Zealander on debut FFS?
btw, gun side that was back in 1999/2000. Styris batting at 10 and Vettori at 11

Craig Spearman, the Sinclair of the late 90's. Man watching all those great bouncers being called for no balls really does make me cringe. So glad they brought in the one bouncer per over rule.
Given the forecast for Napier it looks like this series could wind up being 1-1 after what, for the most part, has been the best summer in the past few years.

TBF to him, he did his job more often than not in ODIs. Would be gun in Twenty20s if he decides to come back."Ricardo Powell, we'll see more of him."

Think this Guptill-bashing is a little bit mean-spirited. Can't we be excited that a young guy has scored a ton on his debut?
ODI centuries aren't really in abundance for us - the most any NZ batsman has managed is 16. So it's pretty awesome that a really promising player has started off with one IMO.

It was from 6 balls I thought.
