Seems every time I watch he drops a catch or mis-fields. He always curses, disappointed with himself.

He has a lot to learn, I think he's only about 21. With time I think he will make less errors and get a bit more confidence and go on to be a very good cricketer for NZ.

Damnit Fleming, shoulda run himself out he wasted too many balls and when he finally decided to start hitting it he goes, and leaves tailenders to do the middle order sluggers job.
The guy before Taylor (name escapes me) I picked him going out within 1-2 overs and it happened, the look on his face was that of someone who wasn't sure and nervous as hell, only a matter of time before he was a goner.

Yep, fleming floated his boys up the creek without a paddle last night. Hope he's happy with his tonne, coz it cost them the game!!!

At 7 runs/over required... you CANT win a game with singles!!!! Idiot!!!!!!!!

I think there's a perception that England were hopeless all through the Ashes and haven't exactly covered themselves with glory in the one day matches. NZ, meanwhile, have appeared to be quite competitive and interesting, even when they've been losing. I am pretty sure that's what the guy's comment is about. NZ has seemed like a better team, even if the results don't reflect it.

Anyway, doesn't matter now I guess. I rekon that the Aussie's will win the finals but if England manage to bat first in at least two games - they'll win one of the matches.

Woulda liked to have seen NZ chase down that HUGE run score posted a couple weeks back, they got so close... but kept dropping Hayden...

Not long to go until they play.
Oh yeah, we play Aussie in the Chapel Hadlee series - IN New Zealand. That, should be close.

Plenty of reasons to do that, one being Watson needs match time before the World Cup, Clark doesn't. Tri-nations doesn't mean too much compared to the Cup.

Thumbs up

Does anyone know if the Tri-Nations will be an annual contest?
Yupe, the Tri series and Chapel Hadlee series are nothing compared to the World Cup.

Here are the pools for the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.


Pool 1 - (St Kitts & Nevis)

Australia
South Africa
Scotland
Netherlands


Pool 2 - (Trinidad & Tobago)

Sri Lanka
India
Bangladesh
Bermuda


Pool 3 - (St Lucia)

New Zealand
England
Kenya
Canada


Pool 4 - (Jamaica)

Pakistan
West Indies
Zimbabwe
Ireland


Looks like NZ will get it's chance at revenge against England in the pool games. Top 2 teams go through to quarter finals and looking at those pools all the big guns will go on.....going to be some nail biting stuff.


;)
