What a dismal performance by New Zealand in the second innings, they better improve in the next 5 or so days so we can see a great match

 

[hi ppl]

We probaly won't.

I didnt watch the 1st Test but saw the highlights today and the best thing I liked the most was Mcgrath's half century. In future we might see no such thing as so call tailenders.

Well looking at New Zealands team their No.10 had a first class batting average of 39

 

[sohum]

What still drives me bonkers is that McGrath has amassed an aggregate of 94 runs in ODI cricket. Understandably he bats at the end of a long batting order but this is still an overwhelming statistic!! This, when Kumble has got thousands of runs. Ha, ha.

 

[gold639]

McGrath is not in the team for batting,so who cares if he sucks as a batsman?

Well he's racked up 289 wickets at 22.67 in ODI's and in tests 457 wickets at 21.77. I don't think he needs to perform with the bat with a record like that.
