Group C - New Zealand, England, Kenya, Canada

Thanks for the advice but mine are good. I trust them implicitly...they help me with things like driving

You trust yours (and everyone else's) too much in certain things IMO.

And yes - I'll shut up and watch the game, all's been said that needs to be said.

 

[Richard]

Hmm, I was quite happy with Fleming out. I'm big time worried now!

I bet the Kiwis felt similar in the KP-Collingwood partnership... both innings have followed strangely similar patterns so far.

 

[Richard]

Is anyone else (maybe Brits only, dono if it's at the ground or on TV) getting seriously pissed-off by the constant *ding-ding-ding-ding!* every 2 overs or so?

Dunno if it's part of the PA system or what.

I'm frustrated with some of the camera-work but the "ding-dings" haven't got on my **** tooooo much

Yes! Its really pissing me off. After every 4 and in between overs (im watching SKY UK feed)

One crucial difference - I'll do a Kev here - is that the Kiwis have rather more batting.

Great recovery job so far from Pig and Macca. I think it's safe to take RR Required out of the equation now anyway. It's all about wickets now for England

 

[Richard]

Always has been.

With the bowlers in our line-up we never had a chance of restricting NZ to 200 off 50 overs.

McMillan chucks his wicket away to MSP instantly...

That'll help ya. Dumb shot Macca...dumb, dumb

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Panesar vs McMillan should be interesting.

Panesar is either gonna get whacked or get Maccas wicket

EDIT: As i say that.....

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

bet365 are ridiculously generous with England's odds. With New Zealand 3 down for under 50 earlier, England were paying 3.50 for the win. Got on it then.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

I hate being right sometimes

 

[Richard]

McMillan seems to have completely ceased to care about how many runs he scores and care only about scoring whatever he does score as quickly as possible...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Shocking keeping from Nixon

 

[Goughy]

Shocking keeping from Nixon

Completely disagree. Brilliant keeping and amazing anticipation. Makes the batsman think alot when the keeper can anticipate like that.

Yeah, it was a crazy shot so early to Panesar but if NZ win he would have played a part in that.

I got out exactly the same way last weekend trying to hit one over cover and skying it.

It cost 3 runs though

So you think he has a chance of stopping a powerful sweep standing up?
