2 T20s, 5 ODIs, 3 tests..

First up is the T20 on Feb 25th..

should be an interesting tour, purely because of the different conditions.

We have a new limited overs kit, as well.

I don't like it.
 
Strange looking kit. The sponsor's logo is far too big.
 
The Indian team is lucky we're having a bit of a heat wave by our standards. Otherwise they'd be freezing their butts off.
 
Extreme right is Rohit Sharma, surprised you don't recognize him.

The other one is Pragyan Ojha. Left arm spinner..
 
What a finish to the 2nd 20/20!! Right till the last ball and McCallum skies it just away from the fielder.

Nope. Only Aitdhs can prevent cricket from being killed by Indian businessmen, politicians or the current set of players. Say if 13 players and 17 BCCI officials are tested being HeyeWee postive at Christchruch terminal, with 5 or 6 bollywood actress thrown in to the mix, it should stop all retards from going bonkers over futile tournaments - elders can warn teens not to watch cricket on TV on the back of an impending virus outbreak.

All generic gimps have switched on to music right now, should take a year for them to get back to cricket, would be great if HeyeWee can do some damage inbtw.

Not many of them in the mob would've cut it had they broken a decade back.

For the start how many times, have you ever seen the full face of Dhoni's blade or whatever shite logo stuck on that even when he plays a straight drive? The overall quality of Indian cricketers have hit new lows with batters playing crossbatted shots, consistently across the line and thick edges yet coming back with impressive averages aided by substandard bowling, and doctored pitches and short boundary ropes.

BCCI collaring ICC have made a point to fiddle around with pitches even outside the subcontinent, more runs means people are made bigger muppets but the quality of the game with the quality of cricket on a downward spiral. Corruputed Indian businessmen and politcians running the game have only compounded the misery with huge money getting pumped in.

I believe in God and moreso in Aids.
 
392. What a massacre. Too bad Tendulkar went off injured.
 
163 with 5 overs to go, could've broken Anwar's record.
 
and that was a shit innings from Dhoni, who seems to care only about his average.
 
Whats happened to New Zealand pitches? The last time we toured them, both teams struggled to score 200.

Someone said it best in the football forum, you expand on your points so much that people actually stop reading your posts and assume that you know a little about the subject. If the discussion was on poaching of bears in North America, you'd probably talk about endangered Koala bears and their food habits.
 
Could have been real close if it weren't for the stupid run outs and typical mid-order collapse.

Be my guest, your interpretation is wrong. That was Brwned throwing toys out of the pram in the Steven Gerrard thread, and eventually he made a tit out of himself in the same thread.

Apparently you never posted anything in a very huge thread thread still able to nitpick one random post from a very random page. I am sure you stalk around alot in internet forums enriching knowledge in due course.

You should watch more of our matches then. Dhoni, more often than not tries to play the ball as straight as possible.

I didn't bother to read the rest of your post because of your stupid assumption.

Anyway, back to today - The master was truely Majestic :devil:
 
Bravo Sachin! Anyone see the bit where Tendulka sneaked up behind the kid named "sachin austin" when he was doing an interview? the kid looked truly star struck. He said it was the "best thing ever in his life" the moment he met tendulkar. This was a GREAT match for the neutral. New zealand put up a much better fight than i expected.

The query was simple, how many times how you seen the full face of Dhoni's bat, even when he plays the ball straight?. There were players taking chances in the past and ending up as match winners but none were able to boast astronomical averages some bit part players are able to return these days.

Anyway you lot are all recent fans, flocking internet with an assumption the best are the ones you've just seen just the day before. No point in arguing here.
