If Taylor stays may get even more its all up to Ross.

Nah, don't think so, even if Taylor stays there.

 

[Meridio]

Broom out. That ball didn't bounce at all, but still turned miles.

Thankfully, now we have Hopkins in to rescue us with his trademark flair, style and panache.

 

[Athlai]

225 minimum. Would be quite pleased with around 240

 

[Xuhaib]

just checked no Jeets horrible team selection and why is there another WK when you have McCullum.

Oram hurt himself so we needed the batting.

 

[straw man]

****ing Hopkins... what is he doing in the team??????????

yup terrible team selection it seems.

 

[Meridio]

Well, there's another trademark heave. Against the spin, across the line, big top edge - on a bigger ground that would have been out.

Don't know why we don't have McGlashan instead.
Or another ODI batsman in the squad

**** it runs are runs at this stage.

 

[Xuhaib]

Mills should have had a promotion Hopkins wasting balls here.

 

[Meridio]

While I'll take the runs however they come he's going to get out if he tries many more of them. It's the powerplay, there's no one in the deep on the offside, why not look for boundaries there?

Omg Hopkins with a 4!!!! Wonder never cease.

and gets 2 fours away

 

[Athlai]

Hopkins brings it up to a run a ball.

A few more and all will be forgiven.

 

[DingDong]

Anything over 240 and we will win this easily. Even without Patel...

Easy? Disagree we would give ourselves a good chance though.

 

[GGG]

what a weak shot, oh well got 5 more above his average.

 

[DingDong]

Easy? Disagree we would give ourselves a good chance though.

yeah, ur probably right. We really should have played Patel though.

 

[Athlai]

Happy with Bond Tuffey Mills and Vettori bowling TBH.
