Fuck Finch. Fat bastard is a specialist Captain who takes the odd catch at this point.
Bless you NTA for putting your thoughts on the line.
Actually I think Finchy deserves similar credit to Payne. Great turnaround for the one day team in 3 months, they're percolating nicely -

He was 7 from 21 early on, then he blew past The Waj in the 40s and carried his bat at 153 not off 143.

@nzzp I might be getting confused again but check out this: http://www.espncricinfo.com/
First photo is of last nights game and the oppo are in red
looks like a photoshop of Ashwin in Indian Blue overlaid with him in red in the background.
Video here, from 4 minutes. Fark the NZ Herald, I should know better than to trust it for factual shit

Just watched the video and that is all round awful cricket. Buttler's backing up wasn't offensive but he was caught napping big time, and Ashwin was totally cynical 'possibly premeditated.
Any mankad is premeditated - you see someone taking the piss and then set them up on the next delivery. Fuck him.

Obviously I haven't seen the previous balls, but that wasn't taking the piss when he was run out.
I'm in general pro mankad, but that's not a good example to be defending.

I haven't seen it either, but if a batsman at the bowler's end is out of his crease, to me he's fair game.

I'd compare this Mankading to McCullum running out Murali when he walked down the pitch to celebrate Sangakkara's ton despite the ball not having been returned back to the keeper by the fielder. Pretty sloppy by the batsman, but some will definitely feel the spirit has been diluted a bit . . .

Warner just got an unbeaten ton in his IPL innings. He’s definitely come back strong.

How high did he leap in the air when he passed 100?

The final of the NZ Club One Day Cricket Championship is currently underway at Cornwall Park in Auckland.
St Albans from Christchurch were invited to bat first and made 96 in 34.3 overs.
Innovate Electrical Napier Tech Old Boys to being the chase shortly. -

Innovate Napier Tech Old Boys retain their title as the best one day cricket club in the country after they knock off the required 97 runs with more than 15 overs up their sleeves.
Meh. Current Black caps not even involved.
-
It is club cricket so not unexpected no Black Caps would be available for selection. Jesse Ryder batted at number five so there was one player that has played at the very top level out there giving back to his club (he is Tech's player/coach). By the way Greerton, demolished by ten wickets, were one of the team despatched.

Good. Greerton are shite. But the club with 4 current blackcaps was not involved.... That comp rewards the second tier clubs who have good players but not really good ones.

Some excellent last ball heroics from Mitchell Santner

@Donsteppa Seems like Santner did pretty well amidst a pretty erratic performance by Stokes...

Stokes to Santner, SIX runs, Santner finishes off in style What. A. Finish. CSK have won. They've stolen this. Amazing, amazing win. This was bowled full and outside off, Santner was probably expecting it, given that Stokes had been trying that, moved into position just enough to be able to extend his arms and loft it high and handsome over long-on. I repeat. What a win!
19.6
1w
Stokes to Santner, 1 wide, And now that's been called a wide! Stokes went for the one wide outside off, and it is moving away a bit ends up outside the tram line!
The square leg umpire over-ruled the straight one for that no-ball call. And we saw captain cool, well lose his cool19.5

Stokes to Santner, 2 runs, wide of off and Santner stretches out and tries to swat it straight but it bounces in front of long-on
19.4

Stokes to Santner, 2 runs, another no-ball for height this time slower ball goes wrong ends up above waist height and Santner is able to shovel-flick it away. Okay scratch that, they have revoked that no-ball. And unprecedented - Dhoni is walking on the field to argue with the umpires He's arguing with them, Stokes is in the thick of it. Scenes! Scenes! Dhoni will earn himself a sanction. And CSK are going to be docked 'fairplay' points. The umpire had stuck his hand out, but the square leg umpire said that was not a no-ball
Santner in. 8 needed off 319.3

Stokes to Dhoni, OUT, yorked him Stokes nails the perfect ball at the right time. Tails in between bat and leg to shatter the stumps. Dhoni was looking to give himself room
MS Dhoni b Stokes 58 (76m 43b 2x4 3x6) SR: 134.88Dhoni's running lots of twos. Four twos will do it...

Stokes to Dhoni, 2 runs, slower ball, back of a length, Dhoni doesn't get hold of it properly, pulls it off the end of the bat past Stokes. Runs two
Dhoni to face the free hit.19.2

Stokes to Jadeja, (no ball) 1 run, no ball and Jadeja has leathered this through extra cover. There's a fielder, but it's a free hit coming up!
19.1

Stokes to Jadeja, SIX runs, Jadeja you ballerina beauty Full ball outside off, well wide of off and Jadeja falls over while driving it straight back over the bowler's head. Middles it while falling down and sends it over the fence! Incredible
Forecaster says 8.2%. Equation is 18 off 6. Bowler is Stokes
