The Ashes (6 Viewers)

Can you blame them! lol. I wouldn't want to get any closer to a Brett Lee ball than i had to thanks!

If they cant stand out of their crease the best thing to do is to play the ball late and not go hard at the ball, and play down the line of the ball. That way even if the ball swings it will swing past the edge and they will only get beaten, they wont nick it. Unfortunatly when players are out of form they tend to try to follow the ball, and when you do that, theres a very good chance that you will get an edge when it swings late

It's the Chappel-Hadlee Trophy and will be played in NZ because the first one was played here in Aus earlier in the year.

oo ur talking about the onedayers, sorry i thut u were relating to tests.

Clarke was playing for Aus A when India toured. He made that blistering 200 in one day at hobart. - It was on tv and was when the selectors really took notice.

again thut she was talking about tests, not first class games

aww, just saw that poor zimbabwe run out - poor dude, he was so impressed with his teammate getting a half century, NZ are so evil!! Its not like they have any chance of loosing to zimbabwe, they could have let the man celkebrate!

haha that was funny. another crushing win for kiwis, it's useless. oh well atleast Vettori is putting runs on the board, he might as well open for us. Bond is back too woo hoo.

If Bond hadn't been injured over the last couple of years, I think he would have established himself as one of the world's best by now. I'm sure his return will be a huge boon to the kiwis.

 

[copious]

He has 50 test wickets at an average of 20, if only he had been playing longer. He's looking alot leaner now too, hopefully his pace picks up.

New Zealand are a bunch of bad sportsmanshipmen.

Vettori is good batting in tests, but for some reason Fleming always puts him up the order when NZ are chasing a huge total in ODIs, even though hes not a big hitter of the ball, never ceases to amaze me that lol

They ran out the last Zimbabwe bastman, becasue he was running, but his partner was too busy celebrating his own fifty [which is a massive thing for Zimbabwe in its current state] at the other end, and they both ended up at the same end.

 

[tasha1188]

oooo...poor guyz...bloody kiwis...they only think of themselves...they have no heart...thats why i don't like them...hmph

that would've been funny to see. well at least they learn their lesson, no matter how stupid the mistake was.
