New Zealand tour of England, 1st ODI: England v New Zealand at Lord's, May 31, 2013

Guptil again shows why he should be an ODI batsman only.

Yes that's right. Unfortunately this will probably secure his TEST spot for the next whie.

Ronchi not going so well for NZ. Interestingly, anytime Anderson bowls a full pie on the stumps he gets a wicket. The way NZ have played him in England, its like they're facing the second coming of a cross-over of the Demon Spofforth and Wasim Akram. He's a good bowler, but really, he's as thump worthy as the rest of the pom military medium bean poles.

 

[Iafeta]

The definition of cricketing paradise. Chris Woakes bowling absolute pies at a military medium pace. I hope for England's sake he's not anything more than an all rounder novelty joke.

And to top it off, Joe "Pin Wang" Root is on at the other end rolling other some pies as well. Seriously, if any Australian loses their wicket to Root in the test series (even #11), they should have to run nude through the streets of Whitechapel shouting out "Jack.. Mr Ripper, where art thou?"

Back to back tons for Guptill.

Such a good ODI batsman but lost against the red ball.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

NZ pounding them, 2 for 225 at 40

 

[Timbo]

...did I seriously just see Martin Guptill score 189* against England?

 

[Patorick]

359.

Should be close, still.

 

[MKEB...]

You would hate to be Trott right now...Dropping Guptill on 13 lol
That will be doing wonders for Guptills average.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Well done guptil

 

[Patorick]

Highest ODI score by a ginger!

 

[hineyrulz]

Highest one day score for a batsman without a soul.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

And NZ maintains its record of scoring more runs in one dayers than it can in Tests. They need to play Test innings like one dayers and pretend they only have 50 overs. Give it a go.

 

[IanG]

Let's hope they make it a clean sweep

Sorry for not opening a new thread for game two guys, will do it for game 3. I couldn't do game 2 I was at Dockland Ice House watching my Melbourne Mustangs get destroyed 9-3 by the Perth Thunder. That was depressing, came home to watch the Blackcaps game but yeah couldn't be bothered setting up a thread and updating.

for the clueless that's Ice Hockey in Australia I am talking about.

 

[Patorick]

Wouldn't worry about it.

One thread is enough for ODI series like this one.
