Nz In Sa 2013

[futureblackcap]

So I did make a thread for it hehe.

NZ side for the 2nd Test:
M Guptill
B McCullum
K Williamson
D Flynn
D Brownlie
BJ Watling
C Munro
D Bracewell
T Boult
N Wagner
J Patel

I would have dropped Patel and given Bruce Martin his debut and ultimately I'd like Guptill dropped but there is basically no one better to replace him.

 

[Kram81]

I hope they can at least be competitive, that is a very ordinary Test side even by NZ standards.

 

[Kram81]

Damn Williamson just put down Amla, not a sitter but still should've taken it. 3 for 152 is still a reasonable position to have SA in.

 

[futureblackcap]

Yeah. I used a tiny bit of colourful language when that happened. All the bowlers except Patel have bowled pretty well but none of them have been standouts... Wagner took ages to get into a rhythm but looked good in the end, much like Bracewell. Come on B'Caps!

 

[Brian Lara]

Brownlie follows up his ton with another good score, breaking double figures! Elgar makes up for his pair on debut. He'll be rueing the fact that he is the only batsman Johnson has never bowled pies to!

and ultimately I'd like Guptill dropped but there is basically no one better to replace him.

Ahh, now I see why that guy doesn't get dropped. He ****** me off. Does he ever break 20?

 

[Kram81]

NZ getting routed again..

Against Zimbabwe. He does better in One Day cricket for some annoying reason.

Better fight from the boys in the second innings. Watling you beauty!

 

[Mugshot]

Pity about the end score, I do hope NZ put up a good fight against England in the upcoming match in Feb.

 

[futureblackcap]

Both Watling and Brownlie with some form are positives at least.

 

[Kram81]

Grant replaces Anderson who is injured.

Hopefully New Zealand can make a better go of it in these one day matches.

 

[futureblackcap]

Incredible pressure on McCullum to get some victories or at the very least, challenge SA.

 

[Kram81]

Kiwis just picked up Smith and Amla cheaply

 

[Kram81]

And now AB de Villiers, good start.

 

[futureblackcap]

Great debut from Mitch! Whoop whoop!

 

[futureblackcap]

Well we did it! By one wicket but we still did it! We so needed that.

 

[Kram81]

Well they got there in the end but it looks like they made hard work of it.

 

[Kram81]

Slow start for NZ, 3 maidens and Guppy getting done over by a Klienvelt short ball

 

[Kram81]

Williamson and Elliot batting well together, Kiwis might be looking at a decent total now.

 

[futureblackcap]

Looks like NZ are going to wrap up the series in the second match.
