How to win a one day style chase in a test match, by Daniel Vettori

I was excited last night, and there was no Natalie Portman film on TV, it was a natural high from Chris Gayle’s Vista and a very well set up last day chase for the kiwis.

Fuck, I even recorded it.

A New Zealand West Indies match recorded, that is huge.

And I wake up to shit.

Absolute shit.

McIntosh, How and Flynn.

Now I am on the record as a Flynn fan, I think How has a defensive shot that could turn on a born again christian and I have nothing against Mark Richardson mark III, but why would those be the first three men you send out in this sort of a chase.

McCullum, Taylor, Ryder.

That is where the money is printed.

McCullum and Ryder made England look like a charity job opening up together.

Taylor is the marquee player.

These are the run a ball men, the ones you want in early when your side has a chase like this.

How, McIntosh and Flynn are the three you want coming in if the IPL millionaires and the chubby drinker give it away.

Not the other way around.

Dan, you had the chance to win the series in two sessions, and you sent out 3 men that couldn’t deliver that for you.

What sort of fucked up thinking is that?

And don’t give me that How & Flynn scored quicker than Ryder.

It took 17 overs to get to 2/62, does anyone in the world believe McCullum & Ryder would have let that happen?

That is almost a third of the chase, and it was squandered.

Someone get Vettori contact lenses, because his glasses are giving the rest of us false expectations.

Enjoy 8th spot.
