Why was there heaps of media talk about how sh*t Monty is in the field, but nothing was said about Jon Lewis?

He's easily the worst fielder in the the Tri-Series.

When were they ever not sh*t???

The 80's.

Even between 99-02 before Bracewell took over we won a Test series in England, Won the ICC champions trophey, and drew a Test series in Australia as well as beating Australia 3 out of 4 times in the VB series last time we were here.

Honestly.....


If Collingwood can have these figures something is seriously wrong......

10-1-25-2

Does not say much for Sri Lanka either all they could do was draw....

Exactly, he's dropped a bunch of catches, I've seen him misfield 2 times this game as well as an A-grade gumby effort on the boundary while trying to stop a four (failed miserably).

He's made Monty look like Jonty.

We were never 2nd in tests but we were 2nd in ODI's. There was a time when there was a chance NZ would have hosted the super series.

Bracewell's only real achievement is the ODI series win over SA. Since he's taken over we've gone from being ranked 3rd or 4th in the world in tests to being only slightly above the likes of the West Indies, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe while with the ODI's we're now a couple of months out from the World Cup and playing probably our worst cricket in the last decade.

Regardless of how we perform at the World Cup it's time for him to go.
