**Official** 2004 Natwest Series (Eng, NZL, WI)

[Tom Halsey]

Oh we've done worse than that. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Hehe - odds that we'll see worse today?

 

[Loony BoB]

My prediction:

If the West Indies get to 100 for 2 or less wickets lost, they will win.
If Lara makes less than 5, New Zealand will win.
If WI lose 2 wickets for less than 30 runs, NZ will cruise home.

What if the Windies make 100 for 2, with Lara being the second wicket down for a duck?

And now to go out on a limb :
Hamish Marshall will be brilliant in the field.

I feel really sorry for the guy, to be honest - I've heard nothing but good things about his magnificent fielding both here and on TV, and I think he's dropped more catches than he's taken this series...

What if they do one of these special collapses?

Lara won't be batting so high.

I didn't notice. I was blinded by the ground fielding I guess. It's harsh yes, but it happens to the best of them (except Jonty). Didn't Ponting drop a few catches in a short space of time a while back?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

What if they do one of these special collapses?

It'll just add to the dramatic victory on the back of Tino Best's maiden ODI half-century.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Dream on.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Fun fact:

Harris' last wicket - 15th November 2003.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Dream on.

Heck if Solanki can score an ODI hundred...

 

[Tom Halsey]

Point taken.

 

[Loony BoB]

Lara won't be batting so high.

I think he's listed at #4, so it's possible. What then ?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Bye bye Gayle.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Chris gone.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I think he's listed at #4, so it's possible. What then ?

No. If he's listed at #4 he'll be coming in at the fall of the second wicket.

 

[biased indian]

did any one notice NZ didnt score a boundry in the last 13.4 overs

 

[Tom Halsey]

Yep - only 4 after 16 overs I think.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

did any one notice NZ didnt score a boundry in the last 13.4 overs

I'm sure New Zealand noticed it. I noticed it. That's at least 12 of us...

 

[Loony BoB]

No. If he's listed at #4 he'll be coming in at the fall of the second wicket.

God dammit, I need to go back to school. Uhmmm... hmm. Ooh, what if someone retires hurt? *hides*

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

God dammit, I need to go back to school. Uhmmm... hmm. Ooh, what if someone retires hurt? *hides*

Needless to say, it's still one wicket down.

 

[Loony BoB]

There's got to be a loophole I can use to get out of looking this stupid.

EDIT: Is "retired hurt" still counted as a wicket?

What if they're 100-2 with Lara out for 3?
