The ideal solution, IMO, would be to simply not have quarter finals - move straight to semi-finals so you have to finish top two in your group. That'd give the group stage plenty of context and importance without removing associates nations from the tournament.

Yep that's a little better, because the teams in the two groups will be fighting tooth and nail to grab the top two spots. This is just the start.. Wait for Canada - SL...

Excellent. Oram to be retained after getting a 50 against Kenya, then be retained for the remainder of the world cup where he does absolutely nothing.

Sounds like a bit of bad luck for Southee. I'm not able to watch this right now but seems he's getting the ball to nip into the batsman a fair bit.

I haven't heard much about Mills not playing, apart from Bahnz's comment before that he had back stiffness. Is this the case? Surely Oram wasn't retained in place of a fit Mills?

Edit: Kenya have spin bowlers so Oram won't score 50 anyway

Mills hurt his back yesterday at training apparently; that's why he's not playing.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

The cricket gods shine on Oram once again.

Thought that was sliding down leg dammit.

EDIT: Nah, correct decision. Waterssssss

Come on Tikolo our batsmen want to chase something.

 

[Bahnz]

Oh that was a corker!

 

[andruid]

Lets go Collo, lets go!

 

[BeeGee]

Yes! Bennett bowled a yorker! His training is complete.

 

[Prince EWS]

Tikolo played that like an absolute muppet.

 

[thierry henry]

Bennett is awesome cos he can bowl 125kph at the stumps

 

[thierry henry]

That ball landed halfway down and was going to hit about 6 inches up the stumps The one that got Waters almost bounced twice as well

 

[Prince EWS]

This reminds me quite a bit of what Mark Gillespie did to them in the T20 World Cup.

 

[gvenkat]

Kenya Stinking up the joint like anything..

Some very uneven bounce in this pitch.

Was thinking the same thing. Brisk pace against the minnows can work like express pace against NZ

 

[Mike5181]

I'm not really watching the game. Is he actually only bowling at 125 clicks? Thought he got it up over 140 quite a bit in the Pakistan series.
