Title: 1st one dayer Post by: lebowski on Sunday, June 15, 2008, 21:21:19 So, are we getting better, or are NZ on the decline / fed up after a success-free visit to these shores?
They're 3rd in the world, and that was really quite comprehensive. Also, those reverse slog sweeps for 6 are fantastic, but I still prefer the inside edge for 4. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, June 15, 2008, 21:25:09 its a poor new zealand side really isn't it.

Title: 1st one dayer Post by: janaage on Monday, June 16, 2008, 09:09:56 As not much of a cricket fan can someone confirm whether this reverse sweep of KP's has never been done before? I'm sure in my limited viewing of a few one dayers/Twenty20 matches I've seen other batsmen have a go at this shot.
Ready to eat humble pie if wrong but I'd have put money on that I have seen it before. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, June 16, 2008, 09:55:06 Technically it wasn't a reverse sweep because he swapped his stance from right-handed to left-handed.
I'm sure Colly has hit a few similar reverse slog sweeps in recent years. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, June 16, 2008, 10:08:27 Didn't botham used to play it way back when? I dont think its a recent shot
Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Lumps on Monday, June 16, 2008, 11:16:17 These international rankings have to be taken with a bit of a pinch of salt don't they.
With the calendar of international matches being so varied you really have to sustain a position for maybe 18 months or so before it can be taken too seriously. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Boeta on Monday, June 16, 2008, 12:41:15 similar shots have been played before, but the way kp does it is unique

Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, June 16, 2008, 13:08:24 It will be once everyone gives up on the Test game to concentrate on limited overs matches.
