I like how they've put in a picture of Harris with his arm perfectly straight

Hopefully Williamson sends down some filth in the next game to make a point.

Disappointed that the article didn't bring up the time when Jeets was called for chucking when he tried to add a doosra to his game.

Sarfraz calling Ross "disgraceful". The only disgrace is that Hafeez is still being allowed to bowl.

It's a joke that you can keep getting "cleared" and coming back to bowl again over and over. If a murderer murders someone on parole they don't keep getting chances to go out and murder people. Give chuckers one chance to "rehabilitate" their actions and monitor them closely. If they break parole (ie. chuck), they are gone for life.

I don't like what Ross did at all, tbh. Leave that sort of stuff to the umpires, or at least have a quiet word about it through the proper channels after the game.

Guys, I got out my protractor and paused it.

16 degrees.

not sure I believe you - can you use Paint to draw some lines on the image plz

 

[Athlai]

You have to pause it frame by frame, but you can see 1 of the 16 degrees in this shot right here.

How good is Latham at playing spin in the middle overs, even on tracks which favour them?

So damn impressive since his move to 5. In fact the Latham/Taylor partnership seems to have surpassed the KW/Taylor partnership in the last 12 months.

^ Wow, didn't realise it was quite that good.

What is the ICC doing? Why can't they equip match referees with protractors and ask them to sit in front of the TV screen to monitor chucking in real time?

Weird for NZ but almost wish the next World Cup was in the subcontinent rather than England - we have quite a number of players that, relatively speaking, excel on slightly tricky turning or sticky wickets.

England roads will suit Guptill though. I'd almost even pick Ronchi as horses for courses. Too bad McCullum retired he'd have excelled too

I agree we're more suited in the SC atm, especially once Santa Claus comes back.

Although it's not like we don't have some fairly handy fast bowling resources in Boult, Milne, Henry. Southee & Ferguson.

Speaking of Santner, I swear I saw him sitting with the NZ squad when we were batting, but it could have been an early morning blur.

Anyone know how far he's away after the knee surgery?

Ronchi's retired from Internationals.

There were four degrees in sociology that I didn't count as well

Guptill yes, though the top order isn't the problem. Other teams have this thing where they keep scoring runs after the 35 over mark and/or 4th wicket goes down - I don't know how they do it but we need to find their secret technology.

Ronchi

Yeah I saw Santner sitting there. Wonder if he's bowling in the nets yet.

Ah great, it wasn't a delusion then, he can't be far away. I read an article a couple of months ago that he'd been concentrating on batting only, remembering of course he hit some excellent ODI form with the bat last summer. As you said, we need a bit more steel in our middle//lower order.

I share his concerns about Hafeez's action, but yeah, I agree. Pretty out of character - don't know why he did it.
