If we had lost the game, I would've been more annoyed at us for letting the game get away against such a mediocre ODI side like England.

That one was for Scaly ;)

Haha.

It's true though, some of our batsmen got out to absolutely terrible shots (McCullum & Taylor spring to mind)

If we'd lost that game and Scaly came on afterwards and sprouted that **** I think I would have vowed to nuke Durham.

When we lost that ODI in Durham first up I cringed.

And uninjured. But hey, all the best NZ fast bowlers make sure they get injured lots. Its a compliment.

Heath's current ailment is a nasty dose of Shin Splints.

That and his house is infested with mice. Had a nice trip down to Mitre 10 earlier to pick up a gross of mouse traps. Great fun.

Will get back to you on a match winning front after some research. Coming in and smacking a six and a four (again, iirc) vs Aus in a CH match to win it for us comes to mind, but he was only out there for like, 5 minutes.

Batting helped us vs Aus, 72 run partnership with Harris (contributing 30) and went at under 4 an over defending a low total, taking two wickets.

4-14 defending 156. Enough said.

In Natwest final vs WIndies, 5 wickets, a run out. 2 wickets were key - Lara and Chanderpaul, plus excellent E/R.

3-31 vs Aus. Bowled tight, turned the innings momentum with two wickets in one over.

Was the only bowler to go at under 4 an over in a total of 331, then combined with McCullum to win it with the bat.

1-28 from ten then 53* after we were 4-13.

4-24 defending 211. Couple of key wickets.

Another tight bowling performance when the first 3 bowlers were woeful.

Minnows excluded to keep everyone happy.

That's some impressive research.

Chris Nevin in that second game! Those were the days, the polywicketkeeper era.

Ganguly got a similar ban a few years ago IIRR.

We've seen for years that fines don't work on slow over-rates. The amount of delaying at the end of that innings was absurd, it took forever to bowl the last few overs. Bans are the only way to have a chance of putting a stop to this nonsense.

Doesn't change the fact that the length of it is over the top. Ban him for one match or whatever and it'll have the exact same impact, but four makes little sense to me.

You're kidding. I'm the original and the best Vettori-hater. It seems to me the guy unveils new layers of crapness each year, and now he's our captain ffs!

New levels of crapness? He constantly saves our ass with the bat in tests while he's ranked as the leading spinner in ODI cricket (last time I checked). "New levels of crapness" is an utter, utter joke. If you're going to have a swing at him, try finding something with even the slightest hint of relevance. And you and Perm both dislike him? Well, that's hardly anything to cheer about - Perm's hatred seemed to stem around the fact Vettori got annoyed with fielders mucking up on his bowling. That's when it became clear Perm hadn't played any competitive cricket himself...

Just get your rugby team to do that in the next few weeks please, and we can take care of the Crims ourselves..

I thought the anti-Henrys and some news today Hanson wants out to coach Canterbury must have caused a few ripples.

I hope All Blacks self-implode, and I hope the Dan Carters and Richie McCaws of rugby turn to cricket - money is there now, and we are a country that produces individual champions on a consistent basis.

Look at rowing, rugby players individually, and triathlon, etc etc etc... for a small country we do seem to breed champs here.
