6th ODI NZ v Pak

[Meth]

Final match. The series gone, but with the World Cup imminent its an important game.

NZ batting first, McCullum opening

 

[Meth]

Full strength NZ side, injuries to Oram and Vettori aside. Oram for Bennett and Vettori for Woodcock and that would be our top side, I think

 

[ozbash]

McCullum is not a selector..

 

[Meth]

McCullum gone- disappointing innings really. Just hit a wonderful 6 and then charged and wildly swung trying to get another one.

We have wasted this series. We have more generated more questions than answers in this series going into the world cup

 

[Meth]

It's sad watching Shoaib lumbering in. He's not bowling too badly, but geez he looks like he struggles to run in

 

[Meth]

Guptill
Ryder
Taylor
Styris
Franklin
B McCullum
Oram
Vettori
N McCullum
Mills
Southee

That's our top XI, I think

 

[Meth]

Razzaq puts down Ryder- would have been a beauty of a catch

 

[beads6]

Ryder going hard now, 3 sixes in one over...

 

[Meth]

He's just hit another one

I just hope he doesn't get out to a silly shot ala McCullum. Against a better fielding team, he probably would have been out a few overs ago

 

[Meth]

Great 50 from Ryder. balls- 34 b fours- 4 sixes- 4

 

[beads6]

Ryder is just like Cosgrove, shame Cogrove isn't a kiwi he would be a 100 test player imo.

 

[Meth]

Ryder struggling running. He should either get a runner or retire hurt.

 

[Meth]

Guptill gone for 44. Decent innings

Need Ryder to get a ton and Tayor to not fail

 

[Twizzle]

Ryder struggling running. He should either get a runner or retire hurt.

or stay away from the pie shop

 

[Meth]

Another failure from Taylor

 

[Meth]

Is Ross Taylor the most overrated cricketer in the world?

 

[Meth]

Cheeky 6- Ryder into the 90's

 

[Twizzle]

go the pig

 

[Meth]

100 for Ryder off 82 balls- great innings.

We should get 300 here, but I wouldn't be surprised if we crashed for 250-275

Take the batting power play in over 35

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

If Ryder fires during the world cup NZ will do well I see him as NZ's main threat over Taylor, Vettori and McCullum and more destructive than McCullum imo.

300 from here should be a formality whether Ryder departs soon or not but could be 330+ if he hangs around.

NZ need to get Franklin out of the top 6 aswell.
