we really missed Katich. at least he would have left the occasional ball outside off stump instead of pushing at it after not hitting a four for two overs

oh really?? this has just made my day!

But the Finn bro's are the most important members of crowded house therefore they are Kiwi

Finn brothers? Tim was only in the band briefly, for the third album. The Aussie duo of Nick and Hessie are (well, in Hessie's case, were

) just as important.

Anyway, by your logic, back when Pietersen was the most important member of the English cricket team, does that mean England was South Africa?

You folks want a laugh? Hilditch fronts the press: We did a good job: selector

Uh, mate, just because you "love" the job and are passionate about it doesn't mean you're necessarily good at it. And your shameless buck-passing just makes you look like a tool.

Just_Boy · 01-08-2011, 10:49 AM

What do you guys think about the split innings format ?

cobl04 · 01-08-2011, 11:37 AM

As shit an idea as Hilditch is a selector

coolian2 · 01-08-2011, 11:20 PM

so, we're facing innings defeat despite only trailing by 90 at the start of the second innings.

it's summer!

cobl04 · 01-09-2011, 01:06 AM

Say what you will about the Aussie team but we wouldn't lose to a second-string Pakistani team by 10 wickets!

CrashedCarDriver · 01-09-2011, 01:15 AM

yay! new zealand are abysmal against a pakistan team of no-names :P

MadForIt · 01-09-2011, 01:45 AM

New Zealand. What a bunch of match fixers.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a Dominion Post exclusive of Guptill and Ross Taylor being offered $50,000 to help NZ lose

Guptill spooned his shot straight in the air, and Taylor strolled to a run out

Or NZ really are that awful

Shit happens when the best batsman and the best bowler in your team happens to be the same guy.

IPL Auctions :

Franchises choose to invest in Indians rather than chase the mirage of overseas players.
Gautam - $2.4 million
Yusuf Pathan and Robin Uthappa- $2.1m
Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Yuvraj Singh and Saurabh Tiwary all close to the 2 million mark.

Mahela Jayawrdene, David Hussey and Dale Steyn are the only overseas players to get more than a million.
Aussie all-rounder Daniel Christian got $900,000 (that's 18 times his base price).
Jaysuriya, Lara, Gayle, Swann, Boucher, Ganguly... Unsold !

cobl04 · 01-09-2011, 10:35 PM

fuck the IPL.

Peter Siddle and Mitchell Johnson averaged more with the bat than Ricky Ponting, Phil Hughes and Marcus North.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-09-2011, 10:51 PM

I average more with the bat than Marcus North.

Just_Boy · 01-09-2011, 11:32 PM

I average more with a baseball bat than Marcus North.

MadForIt · 01-10-2011, 01:47 AM

Ross Taylor went for 1 million
What the hell?

He's rubbish

Serious?

From what I remember of watching NZ play he seemed to be the only one who put up a decent score consistently.

coolian2 · 01-10-2011, 01:57 AM

to be fair, the only form of the game he's any good at is t20.

he's as retarded as the rest of our top order otherwise. just shows what a laugh the ipl is.
