*Official* Match 30 - Canada v New Zealand

[BeeGee]

Nice to see these two scoring a lot of singles. Though does anyone else get the impression that this is all the runs that BMac will score this tournament?

Hopefully this time in the middle will help McCullum find some form. Jesse as well.

 

[BeeGee]

Time to pick up the pace, lads.

 

[straw man]

McCullum close to 100 and also to 4000 ODI runs. Well done to him. However we could really do with some runs from him in the important matches v Sri Lanka and the quarterfinal.

Meh, on track for 300 which should be perfectly adequate.

Edit: Don't want to India it up and get 178 from this start

More concerned with his average still only being 29....it should be well over 30 by now.

Want one of these two out ASAP so Williamson can bat for a bit..

Have to remember a lot of his career was down the order. Since 07 his batting average is probably more representative of where he is now.

 

[BeeGee]

Good knock from McCullum. Hopefully he'll pick up the pace now.

 

[Meridio]

100 for McCullum.

Wonder if we'll take the Powerplay now [/obligatory Powerplay discussion]

Yes.

LOL, Mr. Batting Powerplay strikes again. Best bowler in this WC so far, IMHO.

 

[Athlai]

Obligatory collapse.

 

[BeeGee]

NcCullum in.

Styris doesn't even have his pads on. Interesting.

 

[Meridio]

And we throw a wicket away.

NcCullum in; not sure on the idea of promoting a batman purely for the Powerplay

Would have liked to have seen Williamson come in now too. Leave N McCullum down the order for the last few overs. Would be good for Williamson to arrive at the crease in an unfamiliar situation, even if it is against Canada.

Williamson won't bat now, unless there's a collapse.

Taylor, WAG!

 

[Smudge]

That helps what was looking to be an average powerplay. Three sixes in an over from Taylor and.... probably gonna be four.

Yep, it is four.

 

[IndiaLose]

Ross Taylor is a beast. India stands no chance against teams in QF because every team has that 1 key player who can cause major damage and get the better of Indian bowlers and fielders.

 

[Quaggas]

This Taylor guy, is he good, or what?
