Group E (Super 8) - Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, England

[King Pietersen]

Stuart Broad WAG.

 

[GIMH]

Awesome catch

 

[grecian]

Picture quality is making this unwatchable

 

[GIMH]

Another, going well

 

[BoyBrumby]

ESPN/Star Sports have been pretty ordinary all round. Camera angles have been beyond merde at times.

Not that a dodgy Sat is necessarily their fault, but I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Say what you like about Sky, their cricket coverage is **** on.

Can see Oz getting rolled in the semis on this pitch

Lack of pace will nullify the fast men and our batsmen arent the best on slow, low decks

 

[superkingdave]

Last few overs have been diabolical from England, pretty poor captaincy from Collingwood, just letting NZ milk 10 and over

 

[Zinzan]

The fact England can pretty much play without fear having already have made the semi's makes them hot favorites chasing 150ish for me

Will be chasing 170+ with the way things are going atm

No chance, 160 tops

 

[superkingdave]

Sidearse

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not saying we're taking a dive as such, but the intensity doesn't seem to be there today.

 

[Zinzan]

NZ need at least 30 off the last 3, abysmal last over considering 6 came off the first ball

Case in point there. Completely lost the ball when Styris chipped it up.

127/4 anyway.

 

[superkingdave]

Blooper there, should have been a no ball for overstepping and thus a free hit. Instead Hopkins out

 

[BoyBrumby]

Honestly. B McCullum has to man up and take the gloves back. Hopkins is just too short at this level.

 

[Blakey]

What's the point of playing T20 (the abbreviated abbreviated form of cricket), on such garbage slow pitches and how many slower slow balls does it take before the batsmen get use to Sidebottom bowling them? Seriously this is crap.

 

[Zinzan]

Honestly. B McCullum has to man up and take the gloves back. Hopkins is just too short at this level.

Hopkins was actually quite impressive in the T20 series against Aust earlier this year

[NasserFan207]

NZ should've scored more against the England seamers.

 

[Zinzan]

Grrr, typically frustrating finish from NZ, that said this pitch doesn't look easy
