Phlegm's Half Arsed NZ Story Volume II

[benchmark00]

lol Sinclair lol.

 

[Flem274*]

Speaking of Skippy..

Just had an opening partnership of 292 in the second test. Fulton got 125 and Sinclair is still there on 156*.

Skippeh!

 

[Somerset]

In earlier versions of the game I quite often gave Sinclair (and even Tim Weston) the gloves ahead of McCullum, who was inconsistent in his performance for the most part. Anyway, looks like you've made a great start to the second test there!

Bangladesh in New Zealand 2008

Bangladesh Squad

Shariar Nafees (gun)
Ejaj Ahmed (****)
Naeem Islam (gun)
Habibul Bashar (all right)
Rajin Saleh (all right)
Tamim Iqbal (****)
Musfiqur Rahim (all right)
Eshanul Haque (****)
Manjural Islam (****)
Alok Kapali (****)
Mushfiqur Rehman (****)
Rezaul Haque (****ing gun)
Arafat Sunny (****ing gun)
Ahsanullah Hasan (****ing gun)
Mohammad Shahzada (hasn't played)
Hasibul Hossain (meh)
Enamul Haque (meh)
Alamgir Kabir (started bad but been very gun lately)

The team they should put out is:

Shariar Nafees
Ejaj Ahmed
Habibul Bashar
Naeem Islam
Rajin Saleh
Musfiqur Rahim (wk)
Rezaul Haque
Arafat Sunny
Ahsanullah Hasan
Enamul Haque
Alamgir Kabir

The team they put out is:

Shariar Nafees
Ejaj Ahmed
Naeem Islam
Eshanul Haque
Rajin Saleh (wk) (Rahim injured)
Habibul Bashar
Tamim Iqbal
Arafat Sunny
Ahsanullah Hasan
Rezaul Haque
Alamgir Kabir

So it could be better. If Shakib and Mahmudullah were in this game, they'd beef up the fragile batting. The bowling is world class bar Eshanul Haque.

Anyway, to the test!

Don't play ODIs, and Vincent has been appalling in the middle order in tour games. Soz.

 

[Athlai]

Cribb to self destruct.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha Sinclair is absolutely on fire here.
Franklin gunning it with the ball as well.

Is there any way I can travel to that alternate reality? Would be cricketing heaven.

Match Drawn.

New Zealand defeat Bangladesh 1-0

 

[Shri]

Should have gone all out and attacked in the last session. Another 24 runs and it would have been 2-0.

 

[Flem274*]

I did, but then Fulton got out and the next guy in had to get started etc. Was slightly behind the eight-ball the whole way.

New Zealand-5th

Australian Squad

Phil Jaques
Michael Hussey
Ricky Ponting
Mathew Hayden
Michael Clarke
Damien Martyn
Justin Langer
Adam Gilchrist
Shane Watson (currently injured and out for 3 weeks, but on tour)
Andrew MacDonald
Brett Lee
Jason Gillespie
Nathan Bracken
Barry Stamp
Michael Kasprowicz
Shaun Tait
Stuart Clark
Paul Rofe

Geez, they've wheeled out Dad's Army. It's 2009 guys, time you were retired. Most of them are in poor form as well.

Going off past matches, expecting them to wheel out:

Phil Jaques
Michael Hussey
Ricky Ponting
Mathew Hayden
Michael Clarke/Justin Langer
Andrew McDonald (in for Watson. Debut)
Adam Gilchrist
(bowlers)

They're switching bowlers every match, because barring Rofe they're all playing pretty average.

New Zealand Sqaud

Peter Fulton
Mathew Sinclair
Stephen Fleming

EDIT: Australia embarrassed by CD. All out for 128, Ewen Thompson 5/33 (Y)

 

[Athlai]

Go Steph go

 

[Flem274*]

Steph has a point. Cribb would fall for ICCSinclair faster than Ema.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha gutted Steph's post was deleted - so topical for me.

 

[Athlai]

Gutted it was deleted. Steph was so gun.

 

[G.I.Joe]

What'd he post?

 

[Athlai]

This could be your mucus plug I would not be alarmed but be sure to get checked out I had a 26weeks preemie and 2 weeks before I got lots of this on and off good luck.

lol go lake go
