Sri Lanka tour of NZ

[Meth]

Sri Lanka 23/0 in the 2nd innings. A couple of wickets before stumps and we are right on top

Trying to figure out if McCullum's year is the best calendar year by a NZ batsmen

Must be damn close he's been on fire

Would have to be wouldn't it??? Considering he's the first kiwi to crack 1000 runs in a calendar year.

The pressure on him during the World Cup will be crazy.... He needs to get in Richie McCaws ear because he's the only person I've seen cope with that...

BRENDON MCCULLUM 2014 Test Scores
-224, 1, 8, 302, 7, 17, 4, 3, 31, 25, 18, 39, 43, 45, 202, 195 –

Stats : 1,164 Runs , 16 innings, 0 Not Outs, 4 Hundreds, 0 Half Centuries – Average of 72.75

Obviously, 4 big hundreds, but beyond that a HS of 45 and got out cheaply often...

 

[Meth]

So obviously he has now scored the most Test runs in a calendar year. Who was the previous record holder?

 

[Meth]

I'd be interested to compare McCullum's year to others. Obviously, we've played a little bit more Test cricket this year than we have in previous years, which is a big reason why no other New Zealanders have done 1000 runs in a year before.

 

[Meth]

274*, 69*, 0, 33 , 1, 8, 30, 192, 0, 0, 24

Flemings' 2003- averaged 70.11 6 Tests.

Apparently John.R.Reid with 871 runs was the record holder, I would have put my house on Martin Crowe

 

[Meth]

Taylor averaged 72.16 in 2013. 10 tests

 

[Meth]

Apparently John.R.Reid with 871 runs was the record holder, I would have put my house on Martin Crowe

The year he scored 299* he was out for the rest of the year

 

[Meth]

Wicket would be nice..

 

[Meth]

80/0. 5 or 6 overs to go. 1 wicket before stumps would be great. Otherwise, will be great for our bowlers to have a night's rest.

I would've said Blair Pocock or Craig Cumming.

 

[Red Bear]

Will be along again on monday should the game last

 

[Eddie Rattlehead]

Early wicket this morning for the Kiwis SL 1/90.

 

[Mr Angry]

Sangakkara gone. Game over NZ win.

 

[JJ]

Boult really is terrific ATM. And seems to be bowling as quick as Johnson too (admittedly he seems well down on last year)

 

[Eddie Rattlehead]

What a waste of a review!!!, massive inside edge.
