jeez, Nicol is really rooted to the crease

With the notable exception of Williamson, most of the NZ batsman are

Uh oh.

Martin Guptill gone. Let's see what the underperformer Brendon McCullum can do.

 

[thierry henry]

Guptill vs competent international standard bowlers, nek minnit....

 

[Mike5181]

Barry Richards calls it like a boss!

EDIT: Too high! Yus!

I still like listening to him more than anything we have. He was just wrong on that occasion.

Why don't you blokes like Doully? Tbh he is my favourite NZL commentator.

Lopsy such a good foil for the two other quicks in limited overs cricket.

 

[thierry henry]

According to Richards he deserves a wicket despite not bowling the ball at the stumps. GAGFC.

 

[Zinzan]

Wtf Barry Don't say it should have been a wicket when it was clearly going over the top...ridiculous tbh.

Richards: "You lucky man, Brendon"

So he's lucky that he wasn't wrongly given out?

 

[Pup Clarke]

wtf is richards on about.

I don't mind Doull as much as the other NZ guys here. He seems to go through periods of just pure direness occasionally but he's better than McMillan by far. It's a weird thing to say but Shane Bond has quite a nice voice to listen to.

 

[SeamUp]

Yeah, shocker from Barry. Should have just said Brendon lucky with that after poor shot selection or lack of it.

 

[thierry henry]

Really uneven bounce there

No doubt about that. And to be honest I thought it looked out to the naked eye.

He called Brendon McCullum as an lbw candidate perfectly but went and ruined it by sheer bias.

 

[Zinzan]

Pffft just saw our team, Nethula should have played ahead of Ellis for mine. It's a risk, but would give the attack a point of difference,

Yeah, I would have preferred that. I don't expect Ellis to cause much trouble to quality batting line-ups.

I partially withdraw my criticism of the crowd - looks like it's building up a bit, which is good to see.

 

[Mike5181]

Free hit FTW

 

[thierry henry]

One bouncer per over in ODIs?
