6th ODI - Poms v NZ

[Kiwi]

Perhaps the pitches aren't good as they have been in recent years. Even so, negative batting has crept into all three teams at the moment.

How about giving credit to the bowlers?

Australia cleans up teams with their bowling and it's never negative batting or the pitches. But now the shoe is on the other foot, there are other reasons?

Apart from one game against the aussies when the kiwi bowlers dished up some serious crap for 10 overs, can anyone point out a time when any of the 3 teams bowlers haven't bowled really really well? The lines and lengths have been nothing short of perfect for these conditions.

 

[Hurriflatch]

NZ won't win the finals series but with Oram back and Mills close as well they will at least put up a fight in the finals.

England should be banned from playing cricket until they can actual play the game.

Is there any team you think can beat australia?

Take into account in 06 the only team close to australia's record was the kiwi's I think at full strength we are as good. We may not have the batters of australia, but our bowlers are better for sure.

I dont know if our bowlers are better but they are a team that know how to apply pressure to the Aus team. If it wasn't for the 2 misshapes in the last game against Aus we could have/should have won.

Aussies crapped on the ROTW team, but that was a dismal failure and not a true indication of how things are in world cricket imo

Kiwis grown an extra leg when they play us and seem to be the only team to take it up to us in the past, but not this series

Too many injuries I think, hopefully we'll see them at full strength soon

 

[TheParraboy]

Slightly different to what the one that you told me to cut and paste on Sunday.

lucky I was around to post the accurate one then

btw the sky is still blue, ducks are great in curries, and the number four follows the number three ;-)

 

[Sanchez]

at least now we will get 2 extra games to practise

That's a myth... We have won 2 out of our last 19 against Aus or something terrible like that...

Apparently Astle has retired and is on a plane home... I wonder if they will bring in a replacement

 

[wittyfan]

I hope they bring in Craig Cumming for Astle.

 

[MKEB...]

No please not Craig Cumming. Wouldnt surprise me if Parlane/ingram or How come over.

lou vincent is the one sent over

 

[JTR]

Looks like Lou Vincent is the man.... FFS!!!!!

 

[MKEB...]

Could be worse... The twins.

 

[Lego_Man]

Vincent is the best option. He can be handy with the bat, albeit idiotic..but he has more shots than any of the other options, and he's a livewire in the field.

 

[Sanchez]

last chance saloon but i think vincent will go well
