Black Caps vs Bangles
-
Agree that he is a bit of a slump but removing the scores against Zim is well... massaging the numbers as per above.
An average is exactly that - an average and has to include all innings. Most players have better figures if Zim is included. I guess the only way around that is to have their test status removed, along with NZ up until the 80's. Oh, and Bangladesh until about 2010. Oh and India away from home for while. England had some shit times. O.K so only averages against Australia count.

You need a bit of luck at the crease, no matter how well you are playing. I'm not sure he's in a slump, when he's out there he's looking good and getting starts - he isn't scratching around looking for runs. He just hasn't kicked on as regularly in recent time. I'm picking he gets a big one in the next couple of games.
-
@No-Quarter Hope so. He can be great to watch - a real artist.

Neesham gets stumped.. After looking pretty good..
Criminal way to get out.
We need some big runs from the unfashionable Broom and Munro now.
-
Munro leaves the farm gate wide open and Masrafe strolls on through. Awful technique.
Time for Ronchi to play his once-every-5-years innings and get us up to something respectable.
-
We should be aiming for 250 and hoping the movement is still around when we take the new ball.
-
Broom very good on the sweep....
-
@No-Quarter how you must have cheered when he made the squad - been waiting to unleash that have you?
-
I tested the joke on my family but they didn't seem to understand the hilarity of it. I knew my fellow Ferners would get it.
-
I was hoping Broom and Ronchi would get us through to at least the 40 over mark. Ronchi gone in the 38th... very soft dismissal which is a shame as he actually looked pretty good when given a chance to build an innings instead of having to go the slog from ball one.
-
Santner fails with the bat again. We really need someone to stick it out with Broom.
-
Glad I'm at work and not able to watch this rot.
I'm hoping the pitch has something to do with this below par batting performance??? If not, and we've just out and out batted poorly, I think the Bangles will chase down 250 odd (if we get that many) quite easily!
-
Seems a poor batting effort from nz. Hard to know if the pitch is difficult or we have just been really poor. Have to wait to see how the Bangers go.
Either way what a legend Neil Broom has been. Done enough to cement his ODI spot moving on. What about the Vacant test 5 spot?
