Nice work Kyle Mills v Proteas.

[Big Dave]

Good sports story.
after completely losing his action against the aussies he claimed

>> KD Mills 18-7-43-4

to put the black caps on top against the fluffy pink flowers last night.

Thats what they say - all fighters get knocked down - champions get back up.

:yes:

[oldrider]

Thats good news, hadn't caught up with that yet! Thanks, John.

[vtec]

Good to hear. He's my favourite guy in the team. Most probably cause I was friends with him at Macleans College.

[GR81]

Mills still sucks! :bash:

and aint NZL doing well... 14/2 after 5

*sigh*

[k14]

yeah don't think I should mention the score now.

[Big Dave]

yeah don't think I should mention the score now.


Yuh - I've gone to the soccer. too painful.

Mind you - it's a while since I've seen a ball swing like that.

[Big Dave]

And a recovery of sorts!

[k14]

yeah a big recovery. dang wish i stayed up to watch that.

[GR81]

how long can a team keep hamish marshall in there for?
is his average over the last year even in positives? :scratch:

[Big Dave]

I did - went back to the cricket after the first half of football - Big jacob had a wee tear when he got his ton.

ahh the beauty of sports!

he dropped a sitter yesterday too.

[Hitcher]

I have only two words to add. Jacob Oram.

[GR81]

bring back Andrew Jones !!!! :msn-wink:

[k14]

he dropped a sitter yesterday too.
Yeah he's too good to drop, I don't think either him or fulton should be opening. But if you dropped either of them down the order and bought in say how or papps then who would you drop further to make room? Bit of a hard one. Good situation to be in though.

[GR81]

Isnt Sinclair an opener... been doing well lately?... drop marshall and bring him in.
oh wait... he's going overseas coz he doesnt get on well with the selectors...

shot nz cricket! :wait:

[Big Dave]

It'll be around 300 to win - chances?

[Hitcher]

It'll be around 300 to win - chances?
Nada. Nix. Zero. Nil. None whatsoever. No way Jose. Snowball in hell.

Pray for rain and move on to the second test...

[k14]

It'll be around 300 to win - chances?
Huh? 70+ runs for the last wicket? Don't think so. Shouldn't be more than 240. Odds are against us but you never know, just to prove those cyincs wrong if for anything else, aye hitcher :2guns:

yes quite - i was thinking of the fluffy flower's 2nd dig total - not the target.

what about your 2 words?

[Hitcher]

what about your 2 words?
Once in a test match was asking a lot. If he scores a ton in his second knock I'll undertake to do something suitably ridiculous.

Hey everyone! - Hitcher is going to ride a pit bike.

[Hitcher]

Five for one. So starts an evening of misery...

[Big Dave]

Five for one. So starts an evening of misery...

I feel for you - really i do. 5 and a half great years here i have to barrack for the MIB (except when green and gold involved.)

Perhaps you could share my joy.

JN Gillespie 102* 296 17 0

I had 5 days facial growth up so i just showered, shaved and re-installed the padlock in homage. If he still had the mullet right now I'd consider that too. (not really but...you know.)

Dizzy you legend!

[MacD]

The pain, the pain! (http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/rsavnz/engine/match/238205.html?view=frameset;wrappertype=frameset) :pinch:

[Big Dave]

The pain, the pain! (http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/rsavnz/engine/match/238205.html?view=frameset;wrappertype=frameset) :pinch:

I'm not laughing at you - with you - and that is Funny.

[MacD]

Bad Light Stops Play (http://content-nz.cricinfo.com/rsavnz/engine/match/238205.html?view=frameset;wrappertype=frameset)!

God plays cricket and has a sense of humour! :p

[Hitcher]

34 for 6. I somehow think that that pit bike is safe...

Here's hoping the rain continues for the next day and a half.

[GR81]

98/7
Still singing their praises? GAH!

[Hitcher]

Who stopped the rain dance?

[GR81]

I blame BigDave!

[Big Dave]

Actually when I said 300 to win earlier it was a freudian slip - I meant it's 300 to 1 that they'll win.

[GR81]

*cough cough splutter*

[Big Dave]

JN Gillespie (rhb) 186 407 24 2

Wonderful batting from Gillespie, who has now become the highest scorer for Australia against Bangladesh. He is also the highest scorer as a nightwatchman. All kinds of records being broken. Please join us after the lunch break at 6:40 GMT

Sure having the minows is a good idea - sure it doesn't cheapen test records - sure.

Go Diz!

[k14]

Yeah just like hayden's 380 against zimbabwe. Pity lara isn't able to be a nightwatchman :blip:

[oldrider]

I can accept poor performance sometimes but these guy's are consistently poor performers and they get so bloody precious at contract renegotiation time!
They are over rated, over paid and over there, "REPRESENTING NZ"!
Do they stack up? In my opinion "NO"! Always full of excuses.:dodge:
I hope they reflect their performance in the next contract/salary round! and no I'm not being disloyal, they are!
Just lucky they weren't playing Bangladesh, isn't it! :shit: Rant over, disappointed "again", John.

[GR81]

our team is a joke... and like you said... oz's lower order score more runs individually than our top order :(
