If we were versing the Sri Lanka of 2-3 years ago I'd agree it would be much closer but the majority of the current side is questionable with only Mathews, Herath and maybe Chandimal being class.

Herath is getting older and who knows how many good series he has left. The other bats have played some good knocks here and there but the consistency just isn't there yet.

Good Ol versing. Very poetic

Said it before will say it again based on the way nz bowled at lyon and siddle in the summer i think we could have easily chased down another 100 batting last at adelaide.

Can't have it both ways so if a number 11 is such a vital wicket than we still had a lot of batting left in that day night chase.

p.s. i assume aussie fans are allowed to play this if only game as well?

Just like without billy bowden we would have surely swept england 5-0 in 2005.

Sure. What iffing is allowed. I was only replying to the comment on the flat WACA deck saving Kiwis a canary yellow wash. I even winked, it's not a big deal

Who wouldn't want to see Davey Warner in a poetry slam?

Not sure if he should have been sacked, but he certainly should have gotten a never again from CA.

Why? He created the wickets his employers told him to create

 

[RookiePick]

That pitch alone should've seen the curator sacked. Unfortunately he's not only still in the job he's at this moment preparing prototype drop in pitches for the new Burswood stadium.

Pretty sure the last couple of WACA curators got it in the neck for not preparing pitches like this one.

Would've been nice if he did something in the ashes

Who else did? When you're bowled out for 60 and 138 you have alot of mates.

Was near enough the start of his career too admittedly. Come good at the end of the Ashes series, which probably set him up for this summer.

I've just watched McCullum's 100 for the first time, and I'm glad I did! Reading this thread, I thought it was all top edges, but between 4 and 78, it was more or less everything out of the screws. Sure, it got messy 78 to 100, but it wasn't the arsey innings you blokes were describing!
But I'm a Kiwi fan, so my opinion doesn't count here...

Be far less painful that listening to some of the 'poets'. He'd think it meant hurling poetry books against a wall.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Or hopefully just hurl the books at the poets.

It is good to know that you know your place. You are learning Marklar!
