*Official* Compaq Cup 2009 in Sri Lanka

[Uppercut]

Jesus, they've lost two wickets. The way you guys were talking I thought they were six down.

There's still time.

Kyle Mills is batting 9. No need to panic.

Maybe I'd need to support a test side to understand this unbounded pessimism.

 

[Meridio]

This is pathetic.

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

Leave your nose alone Dan.

Elliott century

 

[Hurricane]

Taylor is out - I thought we were good at ODIs this is two failures in a row. Is the pitch difficult or something.

This isn't even going to be a day nighter at this rate. Just a day game.

 

[Days of Grace]

And it's all over.

India win.

NZ head home tomorrow. That's Andy Moles on the laptop booking the tickets.

****ing pathetic. Don't even know why I support this rat**** ****ing team anymore.

No wonder New Zealand lose sometimes if their number five batsmen are walking to the crease thinking "ITS OVER ALL IS LOST WE MIGHT AS WELL KILL OURSELVES NOW".

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

****ing joke if we can't beat an India without Gambhir, Sehwag and Khan.

Might as well just skip the Champions Trophy.

But seriously, the game is nowhere near a forgone conclusion. Sri Lanka was in basically the same situation last game and look what happened.

No wonder New Zealand lose all the time if their number five batsmen are walking to the crease thinking "ITS OVER ALL IS LOST WE MIGHT AS WELL KILL OURSELVES NOW".

Is DoG coming in @ no. 5?

 

[Uppercut]

No..

But it's a bit of a losing mentality. As you point out, it's not like the Kiwis have to look back very far for an example of a team winning after losing a few early wickets.

Yeah, in all seriousness, I'm not too worried yet. I think if Bond and Mills bowl as well as we know they can to an Indian lineup that's missing Sehwag and Gambhir, we could possibly defend something as low as 200-210.

 

[Days of Grace]

Gotta get there first.

Elliott has to score about 30 two times in a row and Oram has to score more than 10. What are the odds on that?

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

Guptill and Elliott are both averaging 51 at the moment

If this is true this is a jinx post. Quick cross your toes to make up for it.

Guptill's got yet another start with a couple of lovely shots. Can he keep going this time?

Haha, did you type that just before the edge past slip? Heart in mouth eh.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, I did indeed. I'll keep quiet.

There's your answer. Soft dismissal, pretty much guided it to slip.
