Ungamely is an interesting word. I assume it means non-sporting. Perhaps you were thinking of ungainly.brat wrote:Yeh he kind of reminds me of Vettori being languid and ungamely but a bigger hittermerlin the happy pig wrote:He's channeling Chris Harris.

That's a very good comparison.
I think Santa was 2 off his first 9. Then he just went bonkers.

Nicholls needs more contributions too. At the moment it seems you can immediately write those two off when the innings needs rescuing
http://lastwordoncricket.com/2018/01/16 ... o-victory/Colin de Grandhomme has played the innings of his life to help New Zealand secure a fourth straight victory over Pakistan as the home side got home with five wickets to spare.
With New Zealand in trouble, de Grandhomme smashed a half-century off just 25 balls to bat his side into a winning position. Alongside Henry Nicholls; the pair saw New Zealand home, notching up a match-winning partnership.
Nicholls himself also went past fifty in his most important innings yet, staying at the crease under immense pressure following the dismissal of his captain. After the game, Nicholls said his whole mindset was to build partnerships with the batsmen joining him.
He took 6/41 on test debut, and scored the fastest ever maiden test hundred. He also scored 74* in an ODI against Pakistan as recently as mid-January, after he returned from Zimbabwe following the death of his father. But apart from that, nothing much.Kiwias wrote:Yes, well, apart from that, what has de Grandhomme ever done for the BCs?guy smiley wrote:deadduck wrote:Has Colin de Grandhomme ever delivered under pressure?

Agreed. Corey Anderson can also be accused of this imo. Seems to go missing under pressure and against the big teams. Having said that, I would stick with both Colin and Corey when he gets back, and hope that they eventually come right. I say this simply because they provide the power hitting that is needed in the middle/lower order. When chasing 300+ scores, big hitting is needed to chase those totals down.deadduck wrote:I guess you guys just glossed over the "under pressure" part of the question.

Surely after his form this summer he should get a look in. He's already taken McCullum's role at the top of the order, so no reason he couldn't take his #5 spot in tests too.True Blue wrote:Munro averages over 50 in first class cricket, so hopefully they try and build him into a test player. He's 30 though, not sure what the hold up is.
He came in with 110 to get with 15 overs to go and 5 wickets in hand. Chasing that successfully should be expected at least 50% of the time.guy smiley wrote:deadduck wrote:I guess you guys just glossed over the "under pressure" part of the question.nope.With New Zealand in trouble, de Grandhomme smashed a half-century off just 25 balls to bat his side into a winning position.

Would be a massive blow obviously, but it mightn't be the worst thing long-term. He's looked a bit out of sorts recently, and a game or two off to refresh could be for the best. Chapman showed glimpses of promise in the T20s, and I'm interested to see what he can do with a bit more time.Black Caps captain Kane Williamson is in doubt for Wednesday's ODI against England with a hamstring injury.
Batsman Mark Chapman has been called into the squad as cover.
NZ coach Mike Hesson said Williamson had a "mild hamstring strain" and was "day to day".

Plenty of batting to come and it is a good pitch - I still expect a competitive target. Just have to work much harder for it now - and it means you have to find a few extra runs to make up for the slow start.SecretAgentMan wrote:We're doomed, I tells ya!
