Black Caps Tour to Zimbabwe
-
<p>I think it's technical. Goes far too hard at the ball and nicks out far too often for an opening bat. He's not great against spin either so I don't think a move down there will achieve much. Unfortunately he's just not test standard but am not fussed with him staying in the side as I doubt Raval or anyone else coming through will do any better. His fielding is a bonus I suppose.</p>

Cripes, Watling going nuts, 50 from 85 balls.<br>
That's pretty bloody rapid for him, he'd usually be on about 30 from that many balls.<br><br>
These two going along nicely at lunch. Rosco in sight of another ton. <br><br>
How long do we bat for? Another half a session and try finish it before the day is out, or just keep batting and get in some practice for the SA series?<br><br>
I'd prefer the latter. -

on a side note.. sri lanka win by 106 runs.. LOL<br>
who wouldve guessed after being all out 117 in their first innings</p></blockquote>

Haha that's hilarious -
How shit are the Zimbo's graphics/coverage.<br><br>
All they show is the total score on the graphic at the bottom of the screen. Showing the current batsmen's scores and bowlers stats could be quite handy... Especially the bowlers stats, coz I have no fucking idea who is bowling...<br><br>
Edit: And all those details pop up just as I post that. Want any other tips Mr or Mrs Zimbabwean tv director? Just PM me. -
There is Rosco's 14th test 100.<br><br>
Seen that milestone, I can go to bed now.<br><br>
I'd be disappointed if at least one of these two don't bat the rest of the day - Taylor a double, or BJ a 150 odd, with Satnav chipping in with a 40 or 50 not out too. -

<p>The whole production is amateur. Poor old Jerry must be wondering what he signed up to. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My favourite bit is the countdown from the director/line producer which you can hear on occasion when they come back from an ad break. </p> -

<p>yeah, you can even hear them talking in the background.. cracks me up</p> -
I heard jerry signed a contract for 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 zim dollars. I reckon if he'd bargained harder he could have got a further<br>
3,000,000,000,000,000,000 to<br>
4,000,000,000,000,000,000 zim dollars. <br><br>

<p>Zimbabwe already 4 down after Boult grabs two in a row and brings up 150 wickets for his career.</p>

<p>Was watching the match in a pub in Melbourne on Thursday night (when Mendis was batting up a storm) and my mate was saying that it would be funny if Sri Lanka came back to win the game..... some bloke next to us said that wouldn't be happening. HA!</p> -

black caps declare 576/8<br><br>
i dont know why they didnt let rosco go for a double.. lots of time left</p></blockquote>
<br>
Huh? Was surprised to check that it was 6 down meaning BJ got a handy ton too -
<p>The boys aren't taking the foot off and are giving a minnow a genuine beat down which is great to see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No chance of any rain I hope ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Always good to see Taylor get a big score, in virtually any other era he'd be our best batsman by quite some distance, he's clear number two in this team and I suspect the pressure not being on quite as much sits fine on his shoulders.</p> -

Yup, I'd love to see him boost his average up to 50 by the end of his career, with Kane somewhere in the mid-50s.<br><br>
Well so far everyone is taking up the chance to pad their average. Guppy will be looking for a big one in the 2nd test. -
