1st ODI | New Zealand vs South Africa | October 21, 2014 | Mount Maunganui (NZ)

[Aman]

Gah.

Bad luck.

Latham out, now we're going to struggle.

Needed to bat another 5-6 overs.

 

[hussain.r97]

Latham Unlucky

 

[PB]

Damn, he had the perfect chance to go onto make a big score and secure his spot in the side. Ahh.

 

[Aman]

Need Vettori to bat till the PP's.

 

[PB]

I totally forgot about Vettori! I'm sure he's going to stick till at least the 35-36th

 

[Aman]

Ronchi's going to have a brain malfunction soon.

 

[PB]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] what happened to Peter McGlashlan? I remember he smashed Gul in the T20s in the series in 2010/2011.

 

[hussain.r97]

Ronchi has 5 LA 100s. Can he make is 6 today?

 

[hussain.r97]

Vettori

 

[Aman]

Vettori hit that?

 

[Aman]

Nvm

He's gone.

Stupid review.

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] what happened to Peter McGlashlan? I remember he smashed Gul in the T20s in the series in 2010/2011.

Retired.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Not the best review from Vettori. Tahir is a really good limited overs spinner

 

[hussain.r97]

[MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] what happened to Peter McGlashlan? I remember he smashed Gul in the T20s in the series in 2010/2011.

Watling and Ronchi are better options. Watling should be in the ODI team ahead of Ronchi IMO

 

[Aman]

220 looks far right now.

 

[Ahson8]

Selfish review

 

[Aman]

That review from Vettori might be costly.

 

[steelo green]

That review from Vettori might be costly.

Reviews are rarely costly from what I've seen.

 

[Aman]

Reviews are rarely costly from what I've seen.

We're 7 down, a rough call could be the difference between 220 and 240.

 

[hussain.r97]

de Kock has effected 4 dismissals this game

 

[Aman]

Tahir > Afridi

Can't believe Pakistan let him go.

 

[PB]

Tahir > Afridi

Can't believe Pakistan let him go.

I can't believe it either, Ajmal and Tahir bowling in tandem would have been a sight to be seen.

 

[Aman]

Whatever we put up, need Boult and Mills to run through the top order to put pressure on the SA's.

 

[Aman]

Stunning catch by de Kock.

 

[hussain.r97]

Got him! Good catch!

 

[hussain.r97]

Tahir > Afridi

Can't believe Pakistan let him go.

I can't believe it either, Ajmal and Tahir bowling in tandem would have been a sight to be seen.

I'd be interested to see how Yasir Shah turns out. Otherwise for letting Tahir go...

 

[Aman]

200 looks unlikely now

 

[hussain.r97]

145/8 after 32.3

 

[Aman]

Tahir probably knew he had no chance of making it into the side ahead of legend

 

[hussain.r97]

Tahir probably knew he had no chance of making it into the side ahead of legend

I guess he never though Ajmal would get banned

 

[Ahson8]

Tahir is rubbish mostly, wouldn't want him at all.

 

[Aman]

Taylor talking to Parnell.

 

[Aman]

Tahir is rubbish mostly, wouldn't want him at all.

In Tests yeah, he's quality in LO's.

Miles better than Afridi.

 

[ares1000]

RSA cruising here. 148/8 NZ.

 

[hussain.r97]

In Tests yeah, he's quality in LO's.

Miles better than Afridi.

He's probably miles better than Afridi as a batsman too

 

[Aman]

He's probably miles better than Afridi as a batsman too

Hits more sixes than No hit Afridi these days.

 

[hussain.r97]

Have you guys heard the story where Tahir was so happy he took a wicket that he ran out of the stadium?

 

[Aman]

Should look to bat the 50 overs and get whatever we can.

 

[hussain.r97]

Hits more sixes than No hit Afridi these days.

The only boom boom with Afridi these days is the stumps rattling behind him and boom boom bubble gum

 

[Aman]

On the bright side, I can go back to my studying

 

[hussain.r97]

Mills gone. Not even going to make 200 here

 

[Aman]

Ryder has to come back in to the side, it's more imperative now with Guptill struggling for form.

 

[Aman]

Will there be a short change over if we get out within 40 overs?

 

[Aman]

AB should go in for the kill now with his strike bowlers.

 

[Aman]

In hindsight, should have taken the PP when Latham and Ronchi were looking good.

 

[hussain.r97]

Will there be a short change over if we get out within 40 overs?

Probably play a few overs, than lunch, the continue?

 

[TNA]

Wow thats some tail! They all can bat.

 

[hussain.r97]

And once again we realize the importance on Williamson and Taylor. I knew if we were struggling against Scotland, we would struggle worse here....

 

[Aman]

And once again we realize the importance on Williamson and Taylor. I knew if we were struggling against Scotland, we would struggle worse here....

Yep, I had already conceded this match the moment I heard both were out for the first game.

 

[Aman]

50 for Ronchi

 

[Convict]

The Western Australian reject trying his best to drag New Zealand to some sort of dignified score

 

[hussain.r97]

Ryder has to come back in to the side, it's more imperative now with Guptill struggling for form.

Don't know what's wrong with Guppy. Looks like a shadow for his former self for the past year..

 

[hussain.r97]

Some quick runs here would be nice. Hopefully SA go into choke mode today.

 

[Aman]

The Western Australian reject trying his best to drag New Zealand to some sort of dignified score

That reject played for Australia

 

[Convict]

That reject played for Australia

a couple of one dayers a long time back

 

[Aman]

Shameless promoting by Sky.

 

[Aman]

a couple of one dayers a long time back

An international cap is an international cap.

 

[Aman]

lol I thought Ronchi only played a few T20I's for Aus, but he played some ODI's too? )

Some career for a WA reject.

 

[Aman]

Don't throw it away Boult...

 

[Aman]

Boults going to get knocked over.

 

[hussain.r97]

Exposing your stumps to Steyn

 

[Aman]

WA reject and former Australian international Ronchi gets a life.

 

[hussain.r97]

Put down!

 

[Aman]

Ronchi doing WA proud with that technique

 

[Aman]

Boult isn't going to last against Steyn.

 

[hussain.r97]

Ronchi doing WA proud with that technique

Looks like he's swating flies

Boult isn't going to last against Steyn.

He looks scared, backing away from everything, Steyn just needs to bowl a yorker.

 

[ares1000]

FTR it is nice to see Dav Vettori back in Black Cap colours.

 

[hussain.r97]

Good shot!

 

[ares1000]

That was a beautiful show to the vacant 45 degree area.

 

[Convict]

lol I thought Ronchi only played a few T20I's for Aus, but he played some ODI's too? )

[Swanny]

lol nz got destroyed by tahir in nz. What will they do in uae ?

 

[ares1000]

Isnt there a separate thread for AT X1's?

All I know is watching these NZ techniques, NZ v Pak will be hilarious viewing. Neither side has much batting technique.

 

[Aman]

Shot by Boult.

 

[hussain.r97]

Boult

 

[ares1000]

lol nz got destroyed by tahir in nz. What will they do in uae ?

Relax bhai, if they get 180 odd v Pak, our batsmen are liable to collapse to 135/AO.

 

[Aman]

lol nz got destroyed by tahir in nz. What will they do in uae ?

2/30 is being destroyed now

 

[Convict]

Just want confirmation of a NZ AT XI so [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] can't excuse me of picking a weak one for the thread I'm about to make

 

[Aman]

That's out.

 

[hussain.r97]

That's out.

Nah I think he missed

 

[Aman]

Just want confirmation of a NZ AT XI so [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] can't excuse me of picking a weak one for the thread I'm about to make

I'd have Taylor in there somewhere.

Williamson, Boult and Southee will probably finish up in it as well.

I didn't see Ian Smith, would he make it in there ahead of McCullum?
