Fixed

Promising indeed.

The well is dry!

 

[SeamUp]

McCullum always plays well against us. Also got the impression he does pretty well against the Aussies. Otherwise nothing much against the rest.

Smokes India and minnows in tests. Has some scores against Australia and the poms in odis with a ton against Pakistan. Sucks against everyone else.

McCullum out for another start.

In to the tail now.

Well, you lads called it!

Yeah, remember a few of the innings against the Indians.

Guess how many of the top ten (by average) Ford Trophy batsmen are in the odi squad?

will say 5

 

[SeamUp]

Kiwis need to get Roger Twose out of retirement.


But on serious note, how much you blokes miss players from the generation about 10 plus years ago like Flem, Astle, Mc Millan, Cairns, Parore, Nash, Allott and so on.

It's more our depth that's being exposed more than anything, or at least our depth minus Taylor, Ryder and Vettori.

Without looking I'm going to guess 2.

ftr (not counting anyone with less than 4 games and I've changed it to most 50+ scores)

Michael Papps
Nathan McCullum
Anton Devcich
Tom Latham
Matthew Sinclar
Craig Cumming
Hamish Marshall
Colin Munro
Stephen Murdoch
Dean Robinson

 

[Flem274*]

Jesse Ryder gets in by average, but he played just one match. By average with no limiting criteria it's Jess and NcCullum.

That's a pretty average list tbf. It probably says more about the quality of our List A bowlers.

 

[Hurricane]

The squad probably missed a bunch of List A games by playing Zimbos etc

 

[Hurricane]

This game is turning into our worst showing.

The rest didn't play obv.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Playing for the draw a dead rubber. FFS, blaze away or GTFO, we needed 300+ to have any sort of chance.
