Ouch, poor woman. She's quite hot as well.

You're easily pleased champ

Broad touching 150ks, promising

 

[Zinzan]

Rutherford can hardly hit it off the square today.

Did I miss something? Quickest I saw him get it through was 142

So Devcich is doing well....

My maths awry, meant 90mph

 

[Zinzan]

There's little in between from Rutherford is there. Goes between looking a million dollars one ball & five cents the next.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

The bowling has been pretty gash.

 

[Zinzan]

^ Hideous indeed...

 

[BeeGee]

So, what should be the NZ side for the first T20?

Hamish Rutherford
Martin Guptill
Brendon McCullum
Ross Taylor
Colin Munro
James Franklin\Grant Elliott
Andrew Ellis
Nathan McCullum
Ian Butler
Ronnie Hira\Trent Boult
Mitchell McClenaghan

Do we know if Butler is injured?

 

[Zinzan]

Left-handers galore here

They just need to bring Wagner in for Butler.

Not too far off that. Would imagine Franklin and Elliott are marginally ahead of Ellis based on their short-form efforts in SA, albeit being the ODI's.

Agree, plus we just don't need that many bowlers. Leave out Ellis for Elliott/Franklin or a batsman. Munro can bowl too if needed.

Okay, let's see if Broom looks any better at international level after these 2-3 years.

The WASP is well named. Much like the creature, it's irritating and serves no useful purpose.

When they introduced it, it went something like this.

"Have you ever been watching the cricket, when your wife/gf/mother/sister walks into the room and asks who is winning?" WASP!!!!!



Something annoying to answer something annoying.

Is Latham making a late charge for a spot in the top XI? Glorious sweep-stroke that. Seems to be able to hit dimensions of the ground that many can't

Agree, load of old arse this WASP. It's flawed by it's very nature. Not surprised to hear Simon Tool raving about it though.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Relying a bit too much on the sweep stroke, imo.
