Group F - Ireland, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

[Uppercut]

New Zealand.

Had to be said, to get a bit of symmetry regarding the comments here when England were getting stuffed by a side that's actually good.

 

[Athlai]

I'm going to throw this out there but NZ to win this comfortably.

Gul my boy,my favourite Pak quick since the Ws.Simply such a clean action,no chucking.No drugs .And so much passion and love for the game .

U go man !!!!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Styris goes. Great catch from Afridi, had to time it perfectly.

22 off 29 not a great innings in the circs, tbh.

Might've been a bit harsh on the old pig in retrospect.

Gul's just a saint. Takes 5/6 and credits it to a team effort. WAFG.

 

[AaronK]

5er for Gul

 

[ret]

5/6 .... in a T20 game!

 

[GGG]

Pathetic and it looks like we are going to go blow the healthy run rate we had.

 

[Athlai]

Now we're going to need to beat Sri Lanka. ****.

 

[Fusion]

Gul!!!!

Great article in Cricinfo on Gul if anyone's interested.

 

[Lostman]

Now we're going to need to beat Sri Lanka. ****.

Going to be an interesting game, and if NZ win NRR fun.
SL will need to put a beating on Ireland tomorrow.

 

[Majin]

Awesome peformance from Gul there, something really special. This game has been great so far.

 

[Howsie]

FF's NZ get some pace into this team. I don't care if he doesn't have any control either.

Butler
Mills
Franklin



Vettori should come in early, but he wont he doesn't want to ruin his average.

NZ won't beat SL - Their bowlers will eat us & spit us out & there batsmen will murder our 125-132 km bowlers

I guess Scaly was right.

 

[Athlai]

I guess Scaly was right.

Never EVER say that.

 

[Howsie]

He was right though, NZ are rubbish when it comes to playing in big games.

Oram better never play for NZ after this game, what a joke.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Go on Shazhaib lad. Loving watching him bat. Looks totally village and then just creams it.

 

[Jono]

Gul!!!!

Great article in Cricinfo on Gul if anyone's interested.

Yeah read that. Really good article.

 

[Howsie]

Do we have anyone in NZ that can bowl over 140, Pakistan have a 17 year old ffs.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Vettori picks up Razzaq. Some pretty serious turn by Dan's standards.

61/2. Surely not?
