Super Eight

Pup is on fire 3 boundaries in a row.

 

[_Ed_]

So basically he's got a guts ache?

Similar to what Fleming's experiencing about now I'd imagine.

 

[Perm]

The usual suspects eh?

Basically, without Bond and Mills to keep it tight at the start of the innings it nullifies Vettori's wicket taking ability beacuse teams are intent to push him around since they've already got the runs on the board.

 

[Fiery]

Does anyone think Bond's ill health is made up by team management?

 

[Loony BoB]

Mason - 3 overs
Franklin - 4 overs
Gillespie - 4 overs

Question: Why 11 between them? With Styris, Patel, Vettori, McMillan you have 40 overs sorted.

Fleming looked disappointed at the toss so I hope not...having said that, Fleming has shown us all his acting prowess in the past. His performance as the Rexona can was stunning.

Quite possibly, there would be no real need to play him against Australia seeing as how the game doesn't affect the standings too much. In saying that, if they did want to rest him then it would've been much easier to simply say that.

Haha those ads made me realise how much of a monkey Ponting is/was.

Clarke farming the strike a bit here actually!

But the pre-match semifinal training sessions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the Aussies have always had great respect for Vettori though and hardly ever go after him. Aus looking at over 350 easily at the moment

Classic.

No doubt the game has meaning, it just doesn't affect the standings.

Stop channelling Fiery...

 

[Matt79]

Kiwis are heading towards getting penalised for not getting through their overs here. Remarkable with two spinners and Styris bowling.

True. Hope he's OK and he just ate something dodgy. (Suzy from SA hasn't moved to the West Indies has she?)

How dare you?

Geez Hayden is a run machine.

 

[Matt79]

Shots Hayden! Getting after Vettori now...

 

[pup11]

Haydos........
