England vs BCs ODI series

Need Sir Ross Taylor fit in time for test century #18

Another positive, no one is wondering out loud any more why certain players don’t get IPL contracts....

Not that you can replace Taylor, but who will they bring in for Chch? Chapman? Ugh.

Homeopathy - here's your chance!!!

Good thinking, where’s the nearest tap?

@donsteppa Magic water - never failed when I was playing rugby!

Edit: "rarely failed"

Isn’t it good to see a series played between teams who respect each other and don’t have to resort to bully tactics and acting like classless bogans.

so funny reading the roller coaster comments on Black Caps threads!

Ditto

@virgil Id love to see Warner have a crack when no-one else is around to back him up.

Nothing beats a game of ODI cricket when it's played like this. Even rugby comes a distant second for me.

This is worth examining - to point to guys who have seriously under-performed with the bat. Too many one innings "wonders". ("wonder" being defined as made a few).

Rossco, Kane, Latham and Santner on the right side of the ledger.

Everyone else...shithouse.

Guptill, Munro and de Grandhomme - one score wonders.

Lift your games!!!!!

Woooaaah, let's not get crazy mate!!

[taniwharugby]

@canefan I am sure I have enough FUCK YEAHS in me to deal with both sports!

[KiwiPie]

Just read the whole thread. Talk about the depths to the heights!

Greatest NZ ODI innings ever. Contender for greatest ODI innings outright.

[ARHS]

Beats me why England did not use their best bowler for his 10 overs allotment. Woakes has been brilliant all series. Wood bowled some shockers. Wonderful gutsy effort from Taylor!

I wish they could find room for Devcich in this squad, as the slow bowling options seem to prosper better than the quicks.

So who’s going to the decider ?

Can I huh? Please please? Huh huh?

2/1. Sigh. Munro continues his rich vein of form. No pressure Guptill and Kane, but we are going to need hundreds from you both.

The way our middle order is going I doubt that will be enough

Only roscoe is trustworthy. One of these 3 will need to carry their bat. Maybe even two of them

@no-quarter said in England vs BCs ODI series:

OK they showed Munro's review. Dead plumb, that's Shane Watson-esque.

So not only did he get a duck, he is now also responsible for Kane being given out.

Fucking awful cricket.

After a strong start to the Summer against easybeats WI and PAK who seemed like they were on holiday, we are getting exposed by a quality side playing percentage cricket

Patience Grasshopper. Patience

(I know ... hindsight ... )

@canefan said in England vs BCs ODI series:

Nicholls better get 50 minimum otherwise he can fark right off. Same goes for CdG

[booboo]

@canefan said in England vs BCs ODI series:

@virgil What a fucking warrior

Fucking this

[booboo]

@no-quarter said in England vs BCs ODI series:

Ross Fuking Taylor bitches!!!!!

Quoted because fuck yeah

[booboo]

@no-quarter said in England vs BCs ODI series:

Ross Taylor, take a fucking bow. One of the all time great ODI innings - 181* in a chase is absolutely insane. With an injury and no runner to boot.

We are all blessed to watch this guy play in his prime.
