Pakistan tour of NZ

Jezz is Elliot serious averaging in the 90's since he came back in...

He's well and truly proved all the doubters wrong... Quite brilliant by the selectors too as I don't think anyone other than them even considered Elliot as a World Cup option...

 

[shiznit]

And as I say that... Elliot gets out... :lol:

 

[vvvrulz]

Fair enough going for the slog, I always rated Elliott but wasn't expecting him to fire this well either tbh

 

[shiznit]

Well done Roscoe.....

Gezz we are looking pretty good for the world cup. I shudder to think what our batting line would do to a team like Zimbabwe. .. records could seriously tumble. How do people rank our line up?

 

[JJ]

To think this attack could potentially have been Gul, Amir, Asif, Ajmal, Afridi

Yep worth noting such a shame and they've lost Khan as well now

Still things looking good for us ATM good to be rolling along

 

[shiznit]

If you were to ask Hesson and crew what there dream result in this last game before the World Cup was...

Ross Taylor scoring a hundred would be high on that list... Even Guptil getting a good score too was what they needed...

Today's attack was at almost Zimbabwe level

Cricinfo commentary hitting a new low, with everyone chiming in matching up Black Caps to LOTR characters.

a lot of their commentators/writers are Indian

 

[shiznit]

NZ bowlers need to stand up here...

This could be a nice test for them...

 

[shiznit]

:lol:

I didn't even notice Milne was playing until now...

And I put up the squad names... Lol

 

[vvvrulz]

... what does that have to do with it?

 

[vvvrulz]

Boy is this a flat deck or what, too much help for the batsman.
Not impressed.

 

[vvvrulz]

lol there is a 10 minute window in this ground where sun blindness becomes a problem.
Batsmen struggling and Smithy insists they need to stop because its unfair.

Hard to tell. Sri Lanka and Pakistan have the ability to be very good sides, but Sri Lanka certainly didn't bowl well in NZ. I missed the first innings here so can't comment, although this pitch is an absolute road. Definitely a very dangerous side, and not one you want to give any leniency to because they'll be out of reach before you know it, but it's hard to judge how NZ will perform against Australia or South Africa based on these games. They're unlikely to get the number of bad balls Sri Lanka bowled at them.

That said, you can only play what's in front of you. NZ certainly have the ability to beat Aus or SA, and they'll be pretty confident too. Genuine chance at winning the World Cup IMO. As long as one of Aus or NZ win I'll be happy

they don't like Pakis

 

[Twizzle]

Is this being played on a postage stamp ?

If they had Milne or someone on at that end, sure. Someone could be seriously hurt. But it's a spinner. Just get some sunnies out there

I agree with the Pakistani's...

It's not fair...

they don't like Pakis

lolwut?

I was talking about the public feedback going on about Elliott/Ronchi = Merry & Pippin, and the 3rd umpire = the eye of Sauron among other geniused crap. Harmless but stupid.

Maybe you're talking about the cricinfo comments under their news articles, that's another whole can of rubbish and a lot of the posters are indeed Indian. Not all are like those morons, gives a bad name.
