*Official* New Zealand in India 2010

It's on like Donkey Kong! If NZ win or draw the series (I hope you read that part properly), you win.

You've just lost yourself an avatar.

Make sure it involves McGrath

Nah, O'Brien never got a guard of honour, this guy isn't as epic win.

I don't even think Fleming got one.

What part of his batting does not constitute "epic win"?!

It's not funny when we're 150/9 in the final innings of the match.

Pah, learn to take the good with the bad Flem. I bet you weren't complaining when Tom was belting Mitchell Johnson through the covers.

SMH. As any erudite cricket fan can tell you, those runs were scored against weak attacks past their peaks and recovering from injury on flat tracks, so Martin's runs do not count.

I hope you've gained a greater understanding of the game now.

What's the point of banning him if people are going to do this?
Might as well ban you as well.

Any excuse to leave me isn't it PEWS? /flounce

I think he did, actually. Seem to remember England giving him one at Napier, taking their caps off and shaking his hand, etc. Memory may be playing tricks on me there, though.

 

[Flem274*]

I'm struggling to remember as well. Someone with a memory to confirm or deny?

 

[G.I.Joe]

PEWS, stop hating on us ****** cricket fans.

CW elitism IMO.

Confirmed (apart from the caps part. ****s.)

Hamish Bennett must play. And he must charge like the wind.

Great post I love the passion.

Good on the English*

Would love to see Martin emulate Bradman's exit from the game. Three cheers from the fielders and then a 2nd ball duck.

 

[robelinda]

Really pleased this test series is on Fox here, live too, not just crappy highlights at 3am.

 

[Bahnz]

Seems to be implied from what Martin was saying yesterday that Bennett will be in the side for the first test, which is very harsh on Arnel imo.

 

[Cricket_God]

But that didn't quite happen last time around did it? We had to bat out of our skins to save that test. Also knocking off runs is one thing. Getting into a winning position is another. Sehwag aside, I'm not sure how fast our battling line up would score when staring at about 500 runs. For me a 1-0 is nothing. It will only confirm the fact that we have a ****ty bowling attack. I want at least a 2-0 in this series. Also with Sehwag he is as likely to smash a 150+ as he is to get out for 20 odd with his approach ( doesn't matter if the pitch is flat or not) so while he is capable of matching others (or outdoing them) I wouldn't depend on him.

Correction We have a damn good bowling line-up who do the job on batting friendly F-1 tracks
