NZ 6/214
MCCULLUM 116 not out
56 balls
12 FOURS
8 ZACS
The most astonishing innings Ive seen on a Kindygarden Oval
BMs lap sweeps quite amazing
The shot first played and referred to as the Watto sweep in the 50 over w/cup in the WI a few years ago
The dynmamic Depp Purple speed kings got slithered
TAIT 2/40[4]
NANNES 1/51[4]

If the Australian hierachy wanna know how to bowl to Mccullum in the next 20/20 game should read this
right hand bowlers BOWL AROUND THE WICKET WHEN HE IS SET
Those lap sweeps are a lot harder to play

That 116 by Mccullum was that good it would have been 90 on the MCG ...

[mal]

AU 1/28[3]
WARNER out 20[10]
HADDIN 11*[9]
CLARKE in now, on this backyard size oval even he could hit a 6 today ...

[stampy]

no way can clarke just push the 1s and 2s, 30 off 50 wont do today

[locky801]

no way can clarke just push the 1s and 2s, 30 off 50 wont do today

Have to agree, this innings may well decide his 20/20 future but how can you leave Watson & Johnson out, hope they get beaten, win one game so easy and then lets rest people FFS, like resting Brown or Riewioldt in a Prelim Final

[locky801]

After 6 overs 1/53

[locky801]

Vettori into the attack, aust have always, always struggled against him, top class bowler in any forms of cricket

AU 1/28[3]
WARNER out 20[10]
HADDIN 11*[9]
CLARKE in now, on this backyard size oval even he could hit a 6 today ...

A backyard swimming pool is about the same size as this oval
