<p>haha delicious. I don't give a fuck what they blame it on. I can almost hear the wailing of their deluded rabid fans from here. sucked in fluffybunnys, your band of cricketing gods got rolled by spinners from New Zealand. Burn an effigy fuckers!</p>

<p>Because they were played on a piece of cracked mud that turned sideways from the first over?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yes, he was missed, but not quite <em>that</em> missed. Ish looked a legend on that pitch too & I'm not sure he is.</p> -

<p>The day the fern realised that Gollum was indeed Chris Rattue ;)</p> -
<p>Boom destroyed the bangles by himself & now Gayle is doing it to the poms. Last chance to see 2 of the most perfectly suited T20 guys internationally I guess. Jeez they are both a good watch. The windies are 15 balls from a win or 1 wicket from a thrashing...</p>

<p>Depending on how up to date Gayles stats are, that was either his 17th or 18th T20 100. From memory it's around double the next guys.<br>
To say he's done alright at T20 is a bit of an understatement.</p>

<p>If you have the better spinners, you don't want a spinning pitch. A good pitch can make a mediocre spinner to be a really good one. In saying that our spinners did look a lot better than mediocre. It was good to see Ronchi get a few runs as well.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Do they have better spinners though or do they just play more in favourable conditions?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aswin (who is considered their best) record in NZ in 2014</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1st ODI 10 overs 0 for 52, Nathan McCullum 10 overs 0 for 54</p>
<p>2nd ODI 8 overs 0 for 50, McCullum 8 overs 0 for 40</p>
<p>3rd ODI 10 overs 1 for 47, Mccullum 8 overs 1 for 39</p>
<p>4th ODI 10 overs 0 for 41, McCullum 10 overs 0 for 44</p>
<p>5th ODI 6 overs 0 for 37, McCullum 10 overs 1 for 37</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those figures hardly say he is a top quality spinner who is a threat in any conditions. In our conditions he appears no better than Nathan McCullum.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe NZ should be trying to replicate sub continent pitches like in India next time the Aussies come rather than green tops.</p> -

Trying to remember more. -
<p>Bit late to this - but what a stunningly good catch that was by NMac to dismiss Dhoni - took guts to dive forward like that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loved hearing the crowd during the highlights I watched - with Kohli and Dhoni were in, they were still in party mood and expecting to win, bit of a shocked silence when Kohli was out and then the next wickets fell so fast and they were out of the door.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saw a bit of Gayle this morning - they needed 9 an over when I went downstairs to make a cup of tea, when I got back Gayle had taken Moeen for 3 consecutive 6s and it was a run a ball stroll.</p> -
