Whats the go with our fielding, another dropped catch. Kohli dropped on 60 could be extremely costly!! Looks in great touch yet again.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Was looking last night on spreadsheet of the teams in World Cup already known for their squads.
Still waiting on Windies, NZ and Australia to announce our squads. Really looking forward to it myself.

Yes I've noticed a few other nations squads being released late lat night. Sri Lanka looks pretty good, some quality veterans in there along with Matthews who is a gun. NZ could be an extremely difficult opponent first up for us I reckon, if they take their test form into the ODI arena then we need to be ready for the contest from ball one.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Was very costly, Kohli tons up yet again, 4th time in the series and now has 3 tons in 3 innings as test skipper.
Superstar!!

New Zealand's World Cup squad
Brendon McCullum (capt), Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Tom Latham, Martin Guptill, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Daniel Vettori, Kane Williamson, Corey Anderson, Tim Southee, Luke Ronchi (wk), Ross Taylor

2 wickets in 2 balls for Watto, game changes a fair bit now!

Suresh Raina waits 28 months for a test recall and then gets a golden duck!!

 

[OzRulesFootball]

NZ certainly a real wild card.

Another Englishman goes huge in the Big Bash tonight in Michael Carberry.

 

[Nk29]

NZ certainly a real wild card.

Been playing good test cricket no doubt, but think they'll struggle in the one day arena.

Hi Everybody,

As this is my first season doing BB, I am after some help.

As far as trades go, what happens after the next 3 games. Say before this round I have 12 trades left, there are only 3 home and away rounds to go. Do the remianing trades need to be carried forward to the finals, or can I use 3 trades over the next 3 weeks and what happens then?

Once the home and away rounds are completed, does a new comp start for the finals with new trades or how does it normally work.

Thanks for your help.

Edit: Don't worry, I found the answer to my question.

Unlimited trades in finals series.

Anyone got any news on Dan Christian? Late out last game, not sure if he'll be back this week or not.

Haven't heard anything sorry mate.

Test match at really interesting stage.

Both teams have a chance.
Rogers out as I type.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Sixth 50 in a row for Rogers.
Secured his spot for Windies and Ashes tours I would expect.
Then probably retires.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Rogers now has 6 50's in a row. I checked the record for most consecutive innings with scores above 50 and it is 7.
He will have to wait until June against the West Indies to get another crack at it.

Smith is just doing as he pleases yet again atm.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Kohli and Smith had some series.
Not sure ever seen a Test series where player from each team scored four centuries.
Have to look up how many Mark Taylor made in 1989. Think I remember 800 runs in a series.
But this is only four Test series.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Kohli is a legend already.
Only Viv Richards and Hadlee had more aggression on our soil as players to try and expect to win. Oh and maybe Javed Miandad.
Love his arrogance. Does not always say the right thing but plays cricket in right spirit of competition. So happy he is Indian captain.
My favourite Indian player ever. Only seen him four Tests. He won me over first Test with his style. He played to win when losing was clearly a big risk. Tendulkar was a true great of India bats but must admit I love this guys aggression for his team to win more.

 

[IDIG]

Smith you animal. If it were me, i'd be batting for averages and knocking around singles haha (semi serious here)

What do yous reckon he declares on? Copped a bit of slack for his late-ish declaration in the last test, wonder if that will be on his mind
