Looks like the ACC crew or associates are having fun with Cricinfo again... (edit, looks like someone has given them the heads up to remove it)
Such bad taste, I love it
should get one in like:
Mark Lundy here, love to listen to test cricket while driving to Palmy and back. Glorious day for a cruise
He made a contribution yesterday about how he had driven up and down the country following Ross Taylor's career.
There is an effort today in there today from Timaru which is about as grim as it gets.

Arthur Thomas: "Beaut day here in central north island. My wife told me Rossco had retired, I said 'pardon me, you're joking?!'. I feel like he doesn't get enough respect internationally. That ODI average of 48 is incredible, isn't it?" --- Legends never retire after all...

Shut up you fat fluffybunny. Stop wasting tax payers dollars and do your time like a man.
Tom is a legend.

Comms are certainly talking up Bangladesh this morning, but on a pitch that NZ scored 521/6 batting first, losing 2 wickets in the first session is not exactly ideal. I was pretty content with that from a BC point of view TBH, the pitch is only getting flatter.

this is the best part about cricinfo, I am guessing Nostridamus or Baba Vanga appear shortly since people are giving predictions

Mills is talking rubbish I think. I can remember bowling around the wicket to left handers at high school - and I was only 2 years behind Mills.
Coming around has been here for a long time.
No. Hes talking the truth.
Elite bowlers slmost never came around the wicket to LHBs until by the time they were desperate.
Were expected to bowl over and swing it back down the line of the stumps.
A ball tracking & data innovation. To change.
-
I mean. I also bowled around wicket to LHBs at high school. But that was because I couldn't swing it when pushing it across the pitch to LHBs, but if went around the wicket then my action would correct itself and it would swing again. (I could only swing it in the one direction )
But that's because I wasn't good.

This article sums it up pretty well. Went from 14% of RMF-to-LHB balls in the mid-00s to 52% between 2018-2020.

I don't appreciate evidence being used to discredit my post. That's not really in keeping with the spirit around here.

Henry was outstanding during the CWC19, I'll always have a lot of love for him due to his performances there. He was a key part of us winning the whole thing (which we did, despite England lifting the trophy, and yes I will say this every time I mention that God forsaken tournament).
Yeah, Guptill is a fantastic ODI player too. Doesn’t mean I want him anywhere near the test team.
Guppy is such a brilliant batsmen - unfortunately when the bloke plays in a test he tends to freeze, the feet don't move, if he takes some of the confidence from the short form into a test he'd move his feet much better, allowing him to get in line with the ball to defend solidly, also he'll show better shot selection & leaving etc... confidence as we all know is huge in any sport, get tentative & you're in real trouble.
Blundell was under big pressure with his lack of runs going into this test... so was good to see him score a top 50 odd not out.
I always thought he was a 5 trying to open.
Did he get much of a go in the middle order at test level?

Not enough. I agree with you. He looked to me to be a ready made 5 or 6 in the test game. Think Nathan Astle.

Yeah I thought he maybe needed more chances…..but then Nicholls turned up and the rest is history.

100%, he should never have been opening in test cricket, nothing about his game suggested he would succeed in that position, that really was braindead selecting. Astle is a good comparison - someone that goes hard at the ball which is great for ODI and T20s, but won't last long at the top of the order in tests.

one session remaining, just in case we need another day..does it rain tomorrow still?
