He'd probably do a good job as the 3rd seamer.

Bit mean to call SCG out of retirement and send him to New Zealand of all places

Dada would just love a shot at snoozies wouldn't he? This is the place that has been his waterloo as a captain and this is the only team he has not beat in any tests either at home or away. Can see a massive flopshow from his replacement, Yuvraj. Hope I am wrong about him......

Incidentally, a 1-0 win against the Kiwis in 1999 was the only test win for SRT as captain in the middle of 4 massive series defeats [8 test losses] barring the drawn 5 test Lankan yawnfests...........

I'm sick of these 'some bullshit third word country' versus 'yet another bullshit third world country' matches.

Bring on the Ashes.

Start of this test is advanced by an hour, NZC confirms.

by Batman Tue 17 Mar 2009, 10:11

I dunno what Zim is onto again, but I am willing to bet 5 bucks the retard must be slagging off India or Kiwis or both teams in it's own retarded 'sensitive' way.....

Or has it been using too much lubrication in his vagina?

Vettori tips Franklin to bat at no.6. Thats huge promotion for someone who could bat a bit not so long ago.

by Henry Tue 17 Mar 2009, 12:05

New Zealand-

How
McIntosh
Flynn
Taylor
Franklin
McCullum
Vettori
Mills
O'Brien
Martin

India-

Gambhir
Sehwag
Dravid
Tendulkar
Laxman
Yuvraj
Dhoni(c)+
Harbhajan
Zaheer
Balaji
Ishant

by DJ_Smerk Tue 17 Mar 2009, 13:58

I really would play Munaf instead of Balaji. Purely on the basis that he needs some further time in the Test arena to perfect his bowling.

Plus, I forgot Ganguly had retired, I'm still trying to fill the SG void. :|

by Henry Tue 17 Mar 2009, 15:33

I'm not sure they can trust Munaf's fitness in a 4 man attack.

by spangler Tue 17 Mar 2009, 21:50

Munaf picked, Dhoni wins the toss and will have a bowl.

As spangler would say, Thank you.

And yes, my boss is a qunt.

by beamer Tue 17 Mar 2009, 22:04

This Kiwi batting line-up does look piss weak - they've just said on Sky that Tendulkar has 4000 more runs than the entire NZ team put together!

And the man with easily the most career runs in the Snoozer side bats at number 8... says it all really. Still don't think their bowling attack is any worse than ours though. In fact in terms of averages and career wickets it's not really any worse than India's either!

Franklins playing? He was getting mashed all over the place by England A last week....

by spangler Tue 17 Mar 2009, 22:34

Zaheer gets the break through. Guptil gone.

Daniel Flynn wanders off dreaming of playing against England...that was 4 all the way with Sussex Cymbals behind the sticks.

Good toss to win . . . .

by Yorkie Jill Tue 17 Mar 2009, 23:44

crikey by golly! At least they've got past 51.

Are there any NZ sympathisers on this here forum?

And - why no referrals? Are they a toy for the privileged only? Poor Iun Smuth's going to busta bludvessel folks, if there are many more of them.

by tac Tue 17 Mar 2009, 23:45

India never get lucky decisions, Jill. All bad decision are always AGAINST India . . .
