Tbh, I'm not sure looking to hook 140k bouncers with a crooked technique would really help Guptill much.

thierry henry · 13-01-2013, 04:23 AM

Haysman just said Guptill is 6'5". Very important for me to clear this up. Guptill is 6'1" range, 6'2" tops.

wellAlbidarned · 13-01-2013, 04:24 AM

Maybe he wasn't talking about height

Yeah, thought that was a bit strange. 6'2" looks about right.

How the **** are we 20/0? Amazing achievement.

uvelocity · 13-01-2013, 04:27 AM

yeah but haysmans a dumbarse

Meridio · 13-01-2013, 04:28 AM

20 partnership up, raise your bat guys.

wellAlbidarned · 13-01-2013, 04:33 AM

the question is can Gupps convert this solid 12 into one of his big 30s? That's the kind of score which turns a game on its head.

Mike5181 · 13-01-2013, 04:35 AM

Nice shot that.

BoyBrumby · 13-01-2013, 04:35 AM

Shot. Lovely straight drive, that. All timing, to dust off a cliche.

wellAlbidarned · 13-01-2013, 04:35 AM

I think that's the first time I've seen Baz legitimately time a shot for four.

wellAlbidarned · 13-01-2013, 04:40 AM

I'm feeling another noble almost-make-them-bat-again-but-not-quite effort coming

wellAlbidarned · 13-01-2013, 05:00 AM

Into the titilating twenties for Guptill. Can he get there?

straw man · 13-01-2013, 05:03 AM

That was rather lucky for Guptill. I do hope he scores at least a fifty here even though he's still clearly not up to test opening.
