That was a shocker Billy

Both umpires had a shocker along with the Black Caps batting.
Aussie fielding was average at times and we still got dicked.

NZ will be better next time I reckon.

That Aussie pace attack would take some getting used to.

Three of them are the same pace as Bond.

December 14, 1989

On the last day of the last Test of his first Test series, in Sialkot, gets hit on the nose by Waqar Younis - also in his first series.

Wasn't that the test where Sidhu murdered the bowling?

Pakistan have been accused of match fixing AGAIN! At least it not more ball tampering.

Put McCullum back behind the stumps and it wouldn't have even gone to the extra over

That was a great game!

Hopefully it will make us feel better when we get spanked in the 50 over and test cricket series.

Zarkov · Reply #191 Posted: March 01, 2010, 06:25:02 am

I've seen enough of Jacob Oram tbh.

Also if Southee can bowl two overs like that at the end, how come he couldn't manage one decent ball in his first two?

Aussie run chase was all class though.

Jeez, me and the cat agree again. I think they should let Oram have an extended break because his undersized ticker obviously can't cope with the strain of international cricket. For me, the balance of the team is wrong - you can't have Franklin and Oram in the same side. If Oram can't come in and hit it from ball-one then there's no spot for him at seven. So he should be batting where Franklin is and seven should either go to Broom or Diamanti (two other promising players who have been fucked around by the selectors).

Aside from that, i wonder if this match might be the making of both Southee and McCullum? Macca's shown all the promise in the world, but quite delivered on the big stage - though last night he did and then some. As for Southee, his confidence has got to be well up after that, and, as long as the selectors don't fuck with him, he should develop into our premier bowler.

Oram is cake

i was getting annoyed with smitty was going "nows his chance he is such a powerful hitter of the ball" no good being powerful when you cant even hit the ball

Instead of being a hero and trying to play shots like mccullum he should have used his brains and worked a single and rotated the strike. Anyone could see Mccullum was seeing it like a beach ball.

Hopkins has potential

Scunner · Reply #194 Posted: March 01, 2010, 12:22:39 pm

I saw some of McCullum's shots on a news replay yesterday. One cover drive for six was fantastic!

What's this Super Over shit though?

Obbles · Reply #195 Posted: March 01, 2010, 12:26:27 pm

If scores are tied at the end of 20 overs each team has one over to hit as many runs as possible

SteddieEddie · Reply #196 Posted: March 01, 2010, 12:42:57 pm

Or bowl as many wides as possible.

Who didn't have a good laugh when Tait sent down that first wide. :heheh:

What's wrong with a tied game though? It's not like this is the World Cup or something. And one over seems like a clumsy way of deciding a match.

TBH its better than a bowl off :/

In other news how good was the US Canada hockey game!

MattaH · Reply #199 Posted: March 01, 2010, 03:28:33 pm

Could anyone watching the game on TV hear the chants of "smith is a wanker" while aussie were fielding?
