Great shot there from Vincent

 

[Fiery]

Audacious but beautifully executed shot Louie!

 

[Sw1fty]

Nice pull shot there from Fulton

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Great stuff from the Kiwis. I like it. 4 an over for the 1st PP is good. Get a foundation, get your eye in, see off the guys bowling 150+ and then attack the 1st and 2nd change bowlers

 

[MoxPearl]

Yay! Fleming gone.

oh cmon dont act suprized

Meh, he's one of my favourite non-Australian players and I don't like seeing him not doing well.

He's been due for quite a while already!

 

[Jono]

NZ are doing really well, just need to ensure they keep wickets in hand and keep the scoreboard ticking, even if at only 4-4.5 an over. That way they can launch at the end ala England on Friday.

 

[Fiery]

Fulton needs a big score to keep McMillan at arms length and avoid being labelled as "good for about 20"

 

[pasag]

Ouch! That's gonna leave a bruise.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

To bat RL Taylor, JEC Franklin, BB McCullum, SB Styris, JDP Oram, DL Vettori, MR Gillespie, SE Bond

Why is Franklin at 5? Are they serious?

 

[_Ed_]

Why is Franklin at 5? Are they serious?

No, no they are not.

Styris will bat 5. Surely.

 

[Fiery]

Why is Franklin at 5? Are they serious?

No. It's just Cricinfo being incompetent. They had Marshall's name there at 5 before. They have corrected that but left Franklin in that position

Well the way Oram is hitting them...

 

[Prince EWS]

Why is Franklin at 5? Are they serious?

Cricinfo have Franklin at 5 because they (strangely) had Hamish Marshall listed in the team earlier. They realised their error and replaced Marshall with Franklin, but they didn't bother slotting him back down at 9.

 

[Craig]

I always thought in the past they did in alphabetical order...?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

WoW, Ponting not taking all the power plays at once.

Hopefully Fulton and Vincent can stay in and force Ponting to take it late and when they are set, like what happened in Perth
