31st Match - New Zealand v Afghanistan (8th March 2015)

[Athlai]

**** that was very very close.

 

[Athlai]

We never hit

Guptill is about 33% hit and I'd say he is comfortably our best at it.

All icing from the afghans atm

Nah, he only hits when the batsman makes his ground.

McCullum's the same, always seem to hit when it doesn't matter & vice versa.

 

[Flem274*]

no not stanikzai

 

[Zinzan]

Let's face it...we can't;

1) Win a toss
2) Hit the wickets direct when it misses &;
3) Get a DRS referral challenge right

This is definitely an exaggerated idea we have as a fanbase. We just don't hit as much as the Yarpies and it hurts.

 

[Flem274*]

he nicked that

 

[Gnske]

Surprised they didn't really go up for that one

Nah it's true, we miss the timber when it matters more than teams like SL & Pakistan. It's the one aspect of our fielding that we'd be quite far down the rankings on (if such rankings existed).

When did we last get a direct hit runout?

s.o.s Viriya

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Sounded like a nick in real time but there was daylight between bat and ball

 

[Zinzan]

s.o.s Viriya

I mean proper rankings

 

[Athlai]

Sounded like a nick in real time but there was daylight between bat and ball

Woody fart imo

 

[Zinzan]

Did that carry?

 

[Spark]

live that didn't look like it carried

 

[Flem274*]

slips forward half a step? can't see whether he dropped it or it fell short on my feed

 

[Gnske]

cue a million KFC remarks from Styris

 

[Zinzan]

live that didn't look like it carried

Ah, I was about to remark, "Time to wake-up sleepy-boy Taylor"...but I perhaps I better give him the benefit that it didn't carry.
