A win to India.SL made 269, and India win their 100th test. H.Singh 3/98. Well done India, showing wins can be made on so called placid pitches. Conditions are never perfect anywhere, and thats what is so great about test cricket.
NZ are 8/147, and lead by 244. We need over 250, and lets hope the weather holds. And PLEASE both teams go for a win, don’t worry about a loss. But I have a feeling, a draw will be the result. Bond got his 5, 27.5-4-107-5.
Aust made 8/480 Dec. WI are 5/134. 3 days still left. What a shame Taylor broke down after 9 overs. A huge hill for WI to climb.
SA beat Eng by 112 runs in a 1Day. 6/354 de Villiers 121 Eng 242 Collingwood 86 Wayne Parnell 5/48. His 8th game,hes 20 and leftarm fast.
Wellington scored a good win over ND, the other two games draws. But 3 very interesting games.
My player day, Parnell.
Just another Blogtown NZ weblog
Ok, lets get it outta the way.
How many wins has Wellington had? 2 out of 3 games.
Auckland? 0 out of 3 games.
The pitches have been very good, they do a bit early then generally flatten out and some have slowed down and taken spin.
The test has been very interesting. Ebb and flow, ok it hasn’t always been good but it’s been a battle. We’re had the wonderful return of Shane Bond. The huge talent of Umar Akmal, two very good bowling attacks, two weakish batting sides. Also what about the review system, the weather, the decision to start at noon, it’s been a heady mix of elements.
Other tests: Sri Lanka very poor. WI have no unity and you wonder if they really want to do well.
I wont say much here, as will review the test tomorrow. But yes generally you have summed it up very well.
Yes the pitches have been very good, at last we may encourage young players to bowl fast. And captains to use them and leg spinners. It would be great.
Ok, the Mighty Aucks have had problems, like players being pinched eg McKay!!!! Why was Tuffey not released, and Patel was??3 away games in a row?? And the oppisition wants to stick it up us!!!!!!!!
Moan Moan Moan. Gee’s only 3 games into the season and already ditching a sinking ship by the sounds of it!!!
Never…you just dont want to admit I’m right.I’ll rub it in “poacher” when McKay plays for NZ!!!!!
