Group D - New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland

[Uppercut]

Still fancy NZ here tbh.

 

[Smith]

Great start.

Did Scotland really have two leg-side boundary fielders to an offside player with the ball moving away?

 

[GGG]

one more big over and we should have it, what a farse.

 

[Scaly piscine]

No-ball. Idiot.

Some of you Kiwis need to HTFU. Knew the rules for shortened games before you came to England. If you didn't like it you needn't have bothered.

Horrible post.

Just because you enjoy the format being shortened to the point where my mum and her bingo friends could win an international match doesn't mean everyone should.

When the fielding restrictions go it should help.

This is your best chance Scotland.

India are a good example of this.

How long is Vetorri out for? And surely Mills comes in for O'Brien for the next game? Oram needs to find some form pretty quickly as well.

Point?

Scotland have got a hell of a chance here to claim a win but the kiwis are going good with brendon doing the job!

 

[Smith]

Two tight overs and the match is out of grasp for NZ. And two more 15 runs overs and match is gone for Scotland as well.

Better to determine the outcome via toss and play a benefit game for the crowd.

Mills is injured too, I think, or else he'd be playing.

Mills is injured

No point; just thought your post was a good thing to bring up that stupid Ponting quote in reply to. It always gives me a chuckle.

Ah, that sucks.

 

[GIMH]

Sorry thought this was the twenty twenty WC not the couple of balls and we'll see how we go cup. So dire.

Have seen plenty of shortened games in the ODI WC tbf, like the final!

Love T20 but agree that it does get a bit silly once it gets any shorter. I think 20 overs is the optimum length for what the game tries to achieve, playing 7 overs actually makes some of the criticisms of the format ring a bit truer - ie it's just a smashabout

and there falls a wicket, NZ should have this wrapped up soon enough though

 

[_Ed_]

NZ 51/0 (2.4 ov)


Absolute nonsense.

 

[Smith]

Lol, what a farce! Scotland should have brought in their spinners.

Ah I thought you may be referring to Ponting, but wasn't sure if you were trying to make a point as that was the only way India were going to win a World Cup.

I think he was probably correct, but just a tool for saying it
