there was never a run there though :|

If Donald had started as soon as the Klusener had called (presuming he did) and if he hadn't dropped his bat he may have had a chance. It does seem to affect the fielder's decision though, but the Prime Rule of batting is to listen to the call and not watch the ball.

My old man played with Bert Sutcliffe, but religion became his favourite sport, and thus was out of Sunday training: he was so Micheal Jones before MJ.
I used to try to pitch the ball on a handkerchief next to the Apple trees and if I did I would get ten cents (twenty cents bought a cream freeze, a dollar fifty bought a toy dinosaur, bribery and training). Slow, deceptive left-arm spin, round the wicket, slight shuffle; well flighted.

Recycle your red poppies, paint them white, and wear them throughout the year.

Where do you live? I need a grumpy/boozy/sharp wit/sledging left arm spinner for my cricket team.Emphasis on boozy.

Just make sure he doesn't coach running between the wickets.


 
That doesn't have to do so much with running between the wickets, as it has to do with SA love of choking in any ICC event.

Pakistan in trouble at 57/5 thanks to Southee and Bennett.  Thank goodness Oram is there to spill easy catches and give them a chance...

Bennetts looked really impressive. I can see why he was selected for the wc squad.

Though, what in the world is shahid afridi doing. such terrible strokes to play at 69/5.

With the match fixing allegations you can never look at a Pakistan loss without wondering if they are terrible, had a bad day, or are faking it.  Maybe the Black Caps need to throw a few games?

Nice 5-fer Southee.

Maybe Oram could nomnomnom the ball.  Although knowing him he'd do it while batting, and then break his jaw and be out injured for the rest of the series.

NZ were terrible. I mean you should never bowl full tosses at the death overs. But bowling them to a player like afridi, is just asking to get smashed. But i actually thought nz could of chased it down. All they had to do was keep wickets in hand to the end, and get someone like mccullum going.

It's not like we batted terribly, 250 is an okay total. We just let them get 40-50 more runs than they should have.

Quote from: Fran O\'Sullivan
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
