I love how The MASH theme is playing at the ground.

Smith: 'he may have copped that in the face' he says about a man holding his face.

he's our #1 investigative journalist.

 

[Meth]

One of the better ODI centuries I have seen

 

[Iafeta]

Outstanding from Guptill. Top tier ODI opener without a doubt at all.

 

[Bazal]

One of the better ODI centuries I have seen

Yep. Absolutely outstanding given the opposition and the wicket. Brilliant hundred

 

[Iafeta]

Ahhh Pistol. A foot down the leg side and not a wide.

 

[Iafeta]

When Tahir got Williamson out, at least he didn't do that stupid 30m run and arm pump celebration. I've never seen anything so contrived and just embarrassing to watch.

Good six Guppy.

Good six Guppy.

He was still pretty animated though. He looks like he just won the world cup, every wicket.

 

[Bazal]

Personally I think Tahir is a bit of a knob. He's always shaping to peg the ball back at the batsman as well. Mate you're not Dale Steyn, you're a leg spinner, calm down.

 

[Iafeta]

Phenomenal shot again. Guppy is an ODI demigod.

 

[Meth]

This is Guptill's third highest ODI score.

Great 6

 

[Iafeta]

Guppy. Good god you are good.

 

[JJ]

Never seen him play this well

This is a good attack and a tricky wicket, we were astonished at AB and Guptill has been much better

 

[Bazal]

He's planking it to all parts at the moment. It's like he's on a totally different wicket

In recent years Guptil's struggles in test cricket have often clouded critics views as to how good he is. In ODI's he's been great for some time.

Hopefully he can force his way into the middle order of tests and fix his record there a little.

I was wondering that earlier when they were talking about fitting him in the Test squad. Why hasn't he been given much of a run in the middle order? His record at five (albeit a small sample size) is good and his style seems so much more suited to that 5 or 6 role.

Undoubtedly better suited to 5 than to opening at Test level. But I think he's cooked his goose in Test cricket.

Fine innings by laura Mcgoldrick's husband.

I don't think NZ has the depth to ever rule anyone out. His style is no doubt suited to 5-6. When Nicholls is in front of you there's no reason to think the door is closed.
