taylor must feel pretty crap...

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Oh, Stephen, Stephen, Stephen

Unlucky there for Taylor. The captains fault.

NZ giving England a little sniff, but it still is a comfortable chase

 

[Neil Pickup]

And here I was thinking that England (and Ian Bell) had the monopoly on stupid run outs...

 

[wpdavid]

NZ looking very comfortable here: you have to think they can pick up the rate any time they want against these guys. Cue Freddy pdq, I should think.

EDIT
Love it when that happens

Augh. Poor Taylor.

At least it wasn't Fleming though. If he stays in for 10 more overs we'll win.

Wasnt that stupid. Fleming just threw Taylor a HUGE dummy

 

[Prince EWS]

I think you've got a firm grip on the Greigy there mate Pretty good stat that when Fleming gets more than 20 he averages around 55. Shows how succeptable he is to early LBW's.

55 isn't actually a very good average once reaching 20. Most top order batsman would average more than that. Really, he only averages an additional 35 runs once he gets to 20... which when compared to his actual average of around 32, shows that he isn't really much more "set" when he's on 20 than when he's on 0.

What a farcical attempt at a run, Taylor would be feeling pretty stink now.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Ive noticed when Taylor runs he actually has his head down i.e not looking.

Pretty hard to react to your partner pulling out of a run when you cant see him

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

We could certainly use a good over or two - the run rate required has just crept over 7.

This commentary is driving me mad.

They show that Stephen Fleming's average when he scores more than 20 is 55 point something, and Healy goes "I'd like to compare that to Ricky Ponting's...it'd be better."

We are either getting singles or dot balls whereas England were very good at getting two's when Collingwood was at the crease. Styris and Fleming are both fairly slow between the wickets so I don't think we will be sneaking through for tight runs.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

7 an over is still pretty comfortable with 7 wickets in hand and 13 overs left.

But it would be nice if we made it easier for ourselves

 

[Perm]

Flintoff giving it 110 percent but he looked to be limping a little there so I daresay his ankle is giving him heaps of pain.

Healy is an IDIOT. Id be surprised if his IQ is in triple figures

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Who thinks Fleming will get out in the 90s?

I say YES!!!

Yes:1
No:0

EDIT: Get your bets in quick

This reminds me of the thread we had that criticised Tendulkar because his average when he failed to make double figures was 3.46 or something. Now that would be worth a dig.

Ponting's is 67, incidentally. So is Liam Plunkett's.

cmon flem u can do this

Fair enough, I accept 4 to go for Flem's 100 Perm
