    Seeing that we have a few cricket fans on the forums, I've decided to make a thread where all cricket discussions can be found!

    yea things aren't looking too good atm, maybe Scotty Styris can rescue the innings, him and Guptil are capable but things are not looking good...

    I can't believe they left out Warner. He would have exploded us out of the blocks, and got us past the 300 mark. Clarke was terrible - 11 off 26 balls. Glad that Tait was left out cos Harris is an absolutely gun.

    O yea and while were talking about cricket, is the game cricket t20 fever anygood? played the lite and seemed solid but the scoring pissed me off with points over an actual score. And is the bowling any good? Are there any better games out there?

    yep you definitely had a point with Clarke but Styris is looking great for us at the moment! And Guptil is hitting the boundary well as well, they are our only hope

    It's a good game but it's way too expensive in my opinion. Cricket Game is also a good game that's only $0.99. Oh, and I go for Melbourne Victory in the A-League btw. Had a good 2-1 over Sydney in the first leg.

    Geez, I didn't realise that Hopkins was WK for NZ today. Where does McCullum field then?

    yea hopefully the phoenix can pull one out of the hat and we might meet in the final, I reckon we can pull it off against the jets and its certainly possible against Sydney (assuming they loose/draw the next game)

    I think in cover generally. no f**king idea though why he was replaced as keeper, cant figure it out. McCullum is a much better keeper, even if he is a better fielder as well we need him behind the stumps.

    Wouldn't it have been better to have a specialist batsmen in the side than two wicketkeepers?

    yea but hopkins as a specialist batsmen is about as good as we've got atm anyway. There are others, Watling for example, but the selectors are really rotating batsmen at a crazy rate. I dont think hes in because hes a WK is what Im trying to say, but it does help his selection. When some of our injured come back he'll probably be out, we are really missing Ryder
