Wade running Finch out was pretty funny. I don't have a big issue with Watson being in out T20 team and I actually think he's a pretty decent captain. Wish he wasn't in it, but you can't win em all.

Back out on Eden Park soon. Tight finish to come

Axver · 01-31-2016, 12:11 AM

Looks like we'll have two good finishes at about the same time - the men's game between NZ and Pakistan and the women's game between Australia and India. Good day for cricket.

Can't believe Michael Clarke is coming back to first class cricket. That was a brief retirement!

cobl04 · 01-31-2016, 12:44 AM

Well, grade cricket at the moment.

Oh man how good was the ending of tonight's T20.

Says he's aiming for Shield though.

I never liked Ricky Ponting but at least he actually retired

cobl04 · 01-31-2016, 04:36 PM

You seem conspicuously quiet on Watson, Axver. Hit a huge century and was our best bowler...

cobl04 · 01-31-2016, 04:36 PM

The ending was fucking great. Yuvraj looked fucking awful and then won them the game in two hits. Very glad India won all three (although Kolhi claiming the tour was 4-4 was a bit much) and looking forward to Australia being knocked out in the group stage.

cobl04 · 01-31-2016, 04:51 PM

Also, Warnie's in the jungle.

Warnie and Fev in a jungle is a recipe for disaster.

I know, it was painful to watch.

What? That's been their explicit aim all T20 series, to go home being able to claim something.

Oh good grief. Well, at least this means Essendon didn't sign either of them as top-up players.

Axver · 01-31-2016, 08:35 PM

And wow, I just noticed New Zealand omitted Matt Henry from the World T20 squad. That surprises me.

cobl04 · 01-31-2016, 08:41 PM

We thrashed them in the ODIs. I think it's a bit rich to say that they came out of the tour even. Yes, they were obviously streets ahead in the T20s but they were miles away in the ODIs.

Axver · 02-01-2016, 12:20 AM

Yeah but it's fair enough for them to find something to provide motivation, which would have been especially low at 4-0.

And I don't know that Australia were as many miles ahead as you imply. It really should've been 3-2, if it hadn't been for the laughable implosion in the fourth game.

Vlad n U 2 · 02-02-2016, 04:59 PM

In the U19 World Cup the Windies beat Zimbabwe via a mankad dismissal. Wow.

West Indies' Mankad dismissal leaves Zimbabwe players in tears at under-19 cricket World Cup

It's quite sad actually, especially considering this was the last wicket in a very tight match.

Axver · 02-02-2016, 06:24 PM

I suppose the problem here is that the "spirit of the game" and the letter of the law don't concur. The solution might be that a batsman must receive at least one warning before being mankaded, rather than depending upon the generosity/"sportsmanship" of the bowler.

cobl04 · 02-02-2016, 06:30 PM

Yeah I'm conflicted on it. ^ that is probably a great solution.

coolian2 · 02-02-2016, 07:30 PM

Hey Australia.

Welcome to New Zealand

Axver · 02-02-2016, 07:40 PM

BMac and Guppy off to a flier. Great. What's up with all the people knocking BMac on Cricinfo though? Geez, what does a guy have to do?

cobl04 · 02-02-2016, 07:50 PM

Didn't even know this was on. There goes any hope I had of getting work done. McCullum out now but hopefully Guptill and Williamson put on 300 not out now. We're gonna get thrashed in this series (I hope)
