    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    Good effort but isnt that normal?. Seen that plenty of times where the guy catches it on the boundary, throws it up and runs back in and catches it again. LMAO at the new commentator Brayshaw. Guy could hardly stop yelling about it and said "he'd never seen that in his life". Has this guy...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    Agreed. To lose to a mediocre target with so many wickets left is terrible. If we missed out chasing 180-200, then I could understand. Elliott seems an average player thats had a few good innings. he can get away with it in one dayers if he has enough time but I think its fair to label him a...

    NZs Bowling Attack For India

    Id go for this. Guptill Flynn Fulton/ Williamson in a few years Taylor Ryder Oram McCullum Vettori Southee OBrien Martin/Mills/Franklin/Boult. (I dont know.) I might choose Broom a the back up batsman. Just think overall Fulton is better than McIntosh in terms of ability and performance over...

    Cumming..... go home. Even if you are selected for the next game, just sneak out of the hotel and go home. Important catch dropped and shows all his batting talent with the front foot plod and solid forward defense followed by a dolly catch. Selectors.... F***********************k . Class...

    Mmmmm. Good point. I think his time is up but I think we just need another batsman in the side, whoever it is.

    Oram considering giving up test cricket?

    Gotta feel sorry for the guy. But I guess one dayers and 20/20 is where the money is now. Playing a few more years of one dayers might give him a few more years in the IPL and a bit of cash before his body completely gives up. It might clarify the test lineup IMO. There was always the...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    Surely they would have him as a replacement for McCullum. If your'e gonna play Hopkins then you have to have an extra batsman to cover. If not, I think we're a batsman short anyway. Its kinda been a miracle that we've scored these runs. Mills at 7 is scary IMO. Longest tail Ive ever seen...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    Dont know if thats right , but the commentators were saying how it can be difficult playing Johnson as he is all over the place. I think a really good batting lineup like South Africa's showed that up. He bowled all over the place and got hammered. He can get away with waywardness against a...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

    Used to play in the same cricket team as Luke when I was about 14. Didnt realise he was still playing or he made any representative teams. If its the same guy I think it is. Yeah ,good old Howick-Pak. Kyle Mills and me. how can one club produce so much,, haha.

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    I dont think its been done to death. Im quite interested now. If you dont want to read about it just skip past those posts. You dont want to read about it so everyone else has to stop talking about it.... haha. One of the funniest things Ive read on here. My next post is about NZ's...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    I understand Vettori wants to calm it down, fair play to him,a bit of class........ but the whole situation and Pontings claim of victory just annoys me . Youre right, absolute arrogant, tool. :laugh::laugh:

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia

    Dissapointing IMO. haddin knocks the wickets, doesnt say anything, although looks clearly unsure about it on the field. poor sportsmanship. Haddin doesnt apologise and Dan Vettori, who didnt call anybody a cheat, just said it was dissapointing haddin didnt say anything, has to...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

    Agreed. That was quite strange. on another point, I thought Williamson looked pretty talented with the bat, and a handy spin bowler.Patel might be in trouble in a few years. A batsman that can bowl decent spin will help a lot with the balance of the side. Watling was OK without looking great...

    A purple patch for NZ cricket?

    Northern Districts is Northland, Counties, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne/East coast, and the King country down to Taupo. Central Districts is Taranaki, hawkes Bay, Manuwatu, all the way down to Wellington, then the Nelson, Marlborough region. Just draw a line across the country at about...

    A purple patch for NZ cricket?

    Having 1 ,2 or even 3 international quality bowlers in each domestic team would be something. That would give us up to a possible 18 international quality bowlers. That would be something. I dont think we've ever been that strong and I doubt we ever will be. I guess it all comes back to...

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    - I dont think Elliot is a bad player, but I don't think he really fits into the side if Oram is playing. If Oram bats 7 and McCullum opens then you would have Vettori , Southee, Mills, and either patel or another main seam bowler, after Oram in the batting lineup, meaning Oram would be the...

    ***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

    Agree with that. Flynn has good stats at one day domestic level with a strike rate of 90 or so but in internationals he just hasn't even gotten started. Feel sorry for the guy. Hope he doesn't get pigeon holed just as a test player because I don't think he is. I agree that he seems like he...
