<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. <strong>Ish looked a legend on that pitch too & I'm not sure he is.</strong></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>

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>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> -

No I assumed MN5s love affair with Chris Gayle went up a whole new level <br>
I'm familiar with the 12th man, my favourite Pakistani player? <br>
" I keep my teeth in a jar beside the bed " -
Ahhh the 12th man, brings back some memories!!!<br>

I think those last two are brothers from memory?<br><br>
Just a few I can remember off the top of my head.<br><br><br>
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> -

Shirotaponit Returntosendah was my favourite ...<br><br>
