Anyone know what Ross Taylor and Brendon McCullum have averaged the past like, 5 games? I don't remember either of them making a mark, both of them are out for another sad score in this game too.

e: I guess McCullum did ok against SL?

Here's highlights of McCullum's innings for any (like me) who had to work instead: http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/...68&wmode=window

Going back to some of the crazy stats after De Viliers 150:

quote:

104 Runs conceded by Jason Holder, the most ever by any West Indies bowler and the second-most by any bowler in World Cups. No bowler has previously conceded 100-plus runs when captaining their side in an ODI.

The really crazy thing about this one is that Jason Holder only went for 9 runs off his first five overs, but still finished his spell at a nearly world record high economy.

Aussie commentators are the worst. Shane Warne is actually unintelligible a lot of the time, and they spend so much time talking about unrelated rubbish

after being our only world class player for so long, I'm so glad Vettori is finally getting to play in a decent squad

You should be listening to the ACC. Leigh Hart is completely unintelligible; absolutely shitfaced drunk, and is mumbling random thoughts and howling. It's great.

Pop this link into VLC, and delay the audio to synch with whatever video you're watching.

If Southee hadnt gone for like 40 off his first two overs his stats for this game would actually be pretty good

Honestly I think even 10 teams at the next WC is 6 or 7 too many.

No they just need more than two loving pools and more than one or two games a day.

20 teams, four pools, four games per day, allow a week between pool games and quarter finals for games that need to be rescheduled instead of rained off. Whole thing over much faster.

McCullum 17 from 9, Guptill 1 from 9.

Sounds about right from our openers

e: make that 5 from 10 for Guptill

Does anyone else feel like sides are too coached. Like Sri Lanka had the computer tell them that spin after the power play was the way to go so they went with that despite Australia's two best players of spin batting.

not NZ! We bowl out our spinner by the 20th over
