We're talking about cricket here vader. McCullum is more than just a batsmen to this side.

Well if it was a captain, he'd have enforced the follow on so obviously not. We rarely bat well in our 2nd bat, our bowlers have their tails up, 300+ in the bank and they can't bat on grass. THat was an extremely poor choice and it's not the first time this moron has not enforced the follow on. He is not Steve Waugh, and we are not Australaia.

Remember McCullum getting called a moron after this one as well.

If our bowlers had their tails up and they can't bat on grass how come they're 87/1? Nothing to do with the bowlers not being fresh eh?


The difference there was he enforced the follow on and we won. Perhaps our bowlers didn't have their head up after watching that collapse and actually having to bat and concentRate in a very short space of time? The coach deserves a rocket if we lose this one.
