Patel you little beauty!

He's improved so much in the field since the away SA series, good reward for the some work.

 

[straw man]

This is the way NZ used to win matches batting first. Bat terribly and then strangle the opposition on a slow wicket.

Flintoff still to come though and Collingwood is very capable.

 

[straw man]

Also, Styris is 44no for Auckland after bowling seven overs earlier. Put him on the next flight!

 

[MoxPearl]

Runrate Req upto 5

^_^

 

[Fiery]

We should be able to choke some of the life out of the innings with these 2 in

 

[Neil Pickup]

I do not understand this gameplan and we are in severe danager of strangling our own chase.

 

[Arrow]

Terribly painful watching England bat. They will get strangled and lose this match.

 

[Nate]

England seem to be letting the run-rate go up in hope of smashing their way to victory in the last ten overs with wickets they do not have.

 

[Fiery]

I'm liking the look of this twin spin in the middle overs for the World Cup.

Ugly end to an ugly innings by an ugly batsman

 

[straw man]

England looking like favourites now.

 

[straw man]

Jinx!

 

[straw man]

Bond bleeding runs. Bring on Astle.

 

[meatspx]

Bond has looked rather poor coming back from his first spell.
Second-rate bowling, short outside the off-stump with Flintoff milking it.

England 70-30 favourites IMHO

 

[straw man]

Agree

Sounds like Patel has outbowled Vettori again as well.

 

[pasag]

England to win a game

 

[straw man]

Don't forget McMillan is in the team for his bowling.

 

[MoxPearl]

England to win a game

None of these teams deserve to win this game

If england lose this they SUCK lol (well more than normal)

Upto 6 a over

 

[straw man]

This game has been a bit like pulling teeth at times.

 

[MoxPearl]

39 from 36 needed

And they only get 3 from maccas last over

Ahahahahahaa and i thought NZ were in trouble with their batting :P

 

[Fiery]

Flintoff to hole out this over
