He wasn't even in the frame. Lucky the throw missed.

This year domestically he has pretty much doubled his career records in both FC and List A runs.

So 8 years of batting has been outdone in one year.

Has a fantastic domestic record since his injury.

It doesn't imply anything, it's just hoping for the best.

Misfield again. Must be frustrating for SL fans.

_Ed_ · 27-09-2009, 05:16 AM

Wow, sensational yorker. Would have got most batsmen out.

kingkallis · 27-09-2009, 05:16 AM

Well played Martin Guptill...

Good yorker finally ends his fighting knock!

Athlai · 27-09-2009, 05:16 AM

Anyone else enjoying that they seem to be keeping fielding stats for the CT? Thought it was spiffy the other day.

Meridio · 27-09-2009, 05:16 AM

Bugger.

This innings is the flip-side of the same coin as the last one. Stack the top order with 4 attacking players (all with decent averages) and sometimes they come off spectacularly, and other times not.

Also, Vettori on current form coming at the 30 over (ish) mark was a masterstroke.

_Ed_ · 27-09-2009, 05:17 AM

Mills can tonk a few. Hope he does so here.

If he can keep that up for a couple of seasons then maybe he can be looked up as being the messiah you think he is now. Till then he has always over-promised.

Who needs a messiah, we just need someone better than Oram.

Mission accomplished IMO.

Optimism is quite different to hoping for the best.

I've got little time for a guy who drops his shoulders any time he gets pasted and can't come back from it.

What NZ is missing is a grafter who can play the entire 50 overs. McCullum is being given that job but is more suited to stroke play. You need a Styris or some one else coming in who assures the team lasts 50 overs because often, you will find that that is the key problem.
