Great to see an NZ pace bowler steal the show. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck for the rest of the test match, hopefully the next 8 wickets fall reasonably quickly today. Maybe a 10 wicket match in the making??<BR/><BR/>p.s let's hope we see you in the one-day team in a few weeks time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-71218760333359235342008-12-14T10:22:00.000+00:002008-12-14T10:22:00.000+00:00Taylor's (sadly of the Jerome variety and not the ...Taylor's (sadly of the Jerome variety and not the playing-across-the-line™ one) century was amazing to watch. I always thought he could bat and how typical that his first big innings came against New Zealand =( Bad luck on only getting the 1 wicket but it was the big one of Gayle who was looking in great touch. Sadly I thought Gillespie was poor with the ball and Martin would of been a better selection. I'm now watching Sehwag demolish England =D. Good luck for tommorrow Iain.crazystuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224125171871191883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-9517835612630332472008-12-14T08:15:00.000+00:002008-12-14T08:15:00.000+00:00It's still here, isn't it??It's still here, isn't it??Iain O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019088718644124617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-32850449876033328552008-12-14T05:57:00.000+00:002008-12-14T05:57:00.000+00:00Didn't think you were moving your blog Iain..........Didn't think you were moving your blog Iain...........<BR/><BR/>http://blogs.cricinfo.com/iainobrien/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048182129488547252.post-4169753660185817502008-12-13T20:58:00.000+00:002008-12-13T20:58:00.000+00:00I've always loved cricket, and had wondered how it...I've always loved cricket, and had wondered how it would be if a cricketer ever blogged about it -- we'd get to see a game of cricket through his eyes.

It's a shame that some of your team mates dont put the same effort into trying to just not get out.<BR/><BR/>As for the bowling, I agree with Davec, dont over do the bouncers, give him a couple and then just try to get him out. <BR/><BR/><BR/>This is the best sports reading on the net at the moment just for its sheer honesty.

I...A shame Ryder couldnt go on to that elusive ton! It seems like everyone in the NZ team is having a bit of trouble going past that mark at the moment. How, Ryder, McCullum, Redmond, Flynn all in the recent past. Hopefully at McLean Park!!<BR/><BR/>Unlucky not to get a wicket before the end of play, Gillespie bowled really well, impressed with his return. <BR/><BR/>Also, what did you make of that Mills vs Chattergoon LBW appeal that was referred? Obviously it was quite high but I thought it was easily going to hit the top of the stumps, and I thought it had the same degree of doubt as the Flynn decision...for consistency sake I thought Koertzen should have given it, if the 3rd man isnt consistent, the whole system falls down.<BR/><BR/>I thought you bowled well, atleast in that second over. You seemed to have Gayle in a spot of bother. Hopefully you guys rip through their top order and you get a bowl at Mr Edwards tomorrow...I hope you fire up and get him hopping about. Knock his head off Iain!!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck champ!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
