1st Test- NZ v Pak, Hamilton

[Red Bear]

McCullem out, given out caught down the legside, hit his body, poor decision that one

That evens up McIntosh given not out when he was plumb.

Speaking of McIntosh people think Hughes has a bad technique this bloke doesn't even watch the ball!

Hardly an even trade, McIntosh for McCullum :lol:

Geez McIntosh is boring to watch. Career strike rate of 35, no wonder the kids are turning to 20/20.

Typically inept NZ performance here.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Haha when he was 18/19 years old he was the best young bowler in the world along with Ameer and took a 5 wicket bag on Test debut so I would say he was our best bowling prospect in quite sometime by a quite a margin.

Wow, haha best young bowler when he was 19 :lol: except for Ishant Sharma who was making Ricky Ponting his bunny when Southee was 19

 

[Red Bear]

If you're debating young quicks at the moment Kemar Roach is the man

 

[Red Bear]

oh and Guptil out, sh*t shot.

NZ's best two bats here, Taylor due for a decent innings, come on Black Caps

 

[Red Bear]

lol, ryder LBW first ball, NZ in the sh*t now

 

[Fast Eddie]

Thats true I forgot about Sharma, either way his argument was destroyed.

 

[edabomb]

FFS what a pathetic test side we are. Bring on the Test 2nd Division, we'd dominate Kenya.

 

[Meth]

I can't believe somebody payed 1 million for Taylor. Mind you T20 is the one form of the game that he goes alright in

All in all, I thought the NZ bowlers bowled well today. If we lose this match, and we probably will, it will be on account of our inept batting. Seriously, drop McIntosh and Taylor.

We'll be doing well not to lose by an innings at this rate.

Lose Guptill too. 189 at home against Bangladesh does not a career make.

 

[Red Bear]

6/61 now, fmd.

And in fairness to Taylor, was run out by Williamson there, set off hard and still was a few inches short. Stupid stupid running. Williamson out now as well.

 

[Meth]

Let's be honest- we are just above Bangladesh as the worst Test playing nation in the world. Bangladesh are getting better. We are getting worse. And it's little wonder- we give little attention to Test match cricket. Which would be more tolerable if we were any good or improving in the other forms of the game

 

[Red Bear]

I dunno, NZ batting lineup looks stronger than it has for some time, despite the sh*tness of this current test, did a good job in India.

Bowling would be a big concern

 

[Meth]

It looks stronger on paper; hardly in practice.

McIntosh is awful.

McCullum is an experiment. So is Guptill.

Taylor is a myth.

Williamson is a rookie.

Our bowling isn't anything to write home about either.

 

[El Diablo]

could they lose by an innings to Pakistan at home? :lol:

 

[Red Bear]

vettori gone now

 

[Meth]

How many will we set Pakistan.

20?

30?

 

[Dr Crane]

How many will we set Pakistan.

20?

30?

still not out of the woods for innings defeat.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

How many will we set Pakistan.

20?

30?

75+ and you never know with the Paki's.
