nz loss

man so dissapointing watching nz get of to a great start and then throwing it all away,not sure if its a mentallity thing or what but its getting way to common and they ultimately got trounced by sth africa once again:

I for one entirely blame McCullum's captaincy.

 

[Days of Grace]

McCullum has made some strange calls regarding bowling changes in the last 2 games.

Taking his brother off after 7 overs and not bringing him back later, despite Nathan having by far the best economy-rate of the NZ attack at Wellington.

Ellis bowls 3 overs, makes the break-through, and never bowls again during the match.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Garson007]

Fully expect the black caps to beat us in the world T20. :P

McKay vaguely reminds me of some British actor. Any ideas? I'm bashing my head here.

John Hannah. Absolute spitting image.

McKay proved he should've been picked from the get-go, incidentally.

Of course! Cheers.

hmmm just tear up his contract and move forward, please NZC.

As soon as a team imposes a no alcohol ban on a player it is just a matter of time. If my cricket team said I couldn't drink I couldn't last in the team either. Still he created the situation when he smashed his hand through the glass window.

Sad end to his career such a waste of talent.

At last, should never have been picked anyway.

 

[Quaggas]

Seriously, Ryder? I knew he had "issues," but dropping him? Surely it's temporary....

 

[Days of Grace]

I'm just gutted about this. New Zealand cricket just can't afford to lose a player of Ryder's talent.

 

[Ryan19]

Can't see what team is going to be picked for the tests now.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Bracewell involved too apparently... Not good signs really

Apparently nicol will bat at 5.... I kid you not

Uggh, really? They could at least pick someone like Woodcock who's actually made some FC runs in the past few seasons.

Ryder, what a putz. But he'll be back, New Zealand just doesn't have the depth to leave someone like him out for long, and the drunken **** knows it. Oh well, at least Wellington have a better shot at winning the Plunket Shield now.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Ryder to go and try to qualify for Ireland.

 

[straw man]

I'm just gutted about this. New Zealand cricket just can't afford to lose a player of Ryder's talent.

agree with the above

 

[Mixmasterreece]

agree with the above

And we also cant continue to afford to carry the love child of arjuna ranatunga and Andrew symonds - he's a cancer.

Bracewell is going to be interesting, word seems
To be that he lives a hard lifestyle....
