[Mr Angry]

The kiwis have started well.....why are there 84 cricket forums??? took me five minutes to find this thread.....colapse into one please...there are not that many posters.

Carn kiwis.

NZ 0/16 - 3 overs

McCullum played another great knock in an important game

 

[Mr Angry]

Carn kiwis, still going all right. Belt the chucker out of the stadium.

 

[Twizzle]

good start from the kiwis but this looks to be about a 300 run pitch, gonna have to keep up a decent run rate

 

[Mr Angry]

Chuck him out of the stadium.......but then again kiwis love the chucker.

 

[TheParraboy]

NZ 1/60 - 15 overs

solid start

 

[armchaircritic]

Geez - can someone tell Tony Greig to get his hand off it. f**king terrible commentary.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Beautiful by Malinga...

I wouldn't want to be facing that first up, pressure on Styris here!

Geez - can someone tell Tony Greig to get his hand off it. f**king terrible commentary.

Yeah but we all know Tony Greig is a biased prick. If Tony is commentating on this game they should put Danny Morrison or Simon Doull in with him to keep him in line

The way he wanks himself stupid over the Sri Lankans is embarrassing.

 

[TheParraboy]

nz 3/134 - 32 overs

gee id love big jake to smash a quick fire 50 when he comes in

 

[armchaircritic]

f**k that was soft! Why not take the batting power play if you are going to have a slog?

 

[Panther_Daz]

Probably Mendis' worst ball so far and he picks up a wicket with it.

 

[Red Bear]

surely it's time to send Oram in rather than Williamson?

 

[Danish]

Well Williamson certainly played a nice little role, unfortunate he got out playing that shot because he looked like he was going to do something special.

If they can post 250 it's game on IMO. New Zealand have actually shown some courage with the ball and so I'd back them to defend a lowish total

 

[Panther_Daz]

Williamson really showed some class in that little innings. Against 2 great ODI bowlers.

Hopefully the Ryder, Taylor and Williamson combination can start to build some consistent performances in Test Cricket.

 

[Red Bear]

It's a pretty handy 3-4-5 I think

 

[Panther_Daz]

For sure.

Ryder and Taylor haven't even entered their peak yet. 27 and 26 and Williamson is 20.

 

[armchaircritic]

Styris - Why did you have to give him a wicket on his last ball?? He looked like he was going to walk soon as he was hit on the pad
