The 5th bowler made up of Clarke, D.Hussey and maybe White will be the key tonight.

For the next match I'd bring McGain in for White and bat Ferguson 5, M.Hussey 6, Hopes 7 and Johnson 8.

That way we would have Hopes as the 5th bowler.

Well the rule states exactly this with regards to batsmen running on the pitch that could cause possible damange to the pitch.

I'd get Heal or Doherty in....both are very good ODI spinners and can swing the bat. Hopes up to 7, Ferguson to 4, Travis Birt in at 5....White and Dussey out

Taylor and Guptil out, McCullum more or less useless. Game over, although it was as good as gone once Vettori said "we'll field first". Idiots.

We all know the rules, just wondering why the f**k today is the only day they are bothering to enforce them.:roll:

Did hotspot show Taylor hit it or did he hit his pad?

Does it matter? These days, anytime you give Bucknor a choice it's going to be a 50-50 call no matter how good or bad it looks.

By the sounds of thing there was more doubt about the height than anything else. Can't actually see it so don't know.

Does it matter???? If your not going to take an interest in something like that LBW then why would you bother watching at all?
