**Official** New Zealand in England

[Somerset]

Not a bad over there from Botha by the looks of it, only eleven from it. 21 from the last to make 400?

 

[_Ed_]

21 from 6 required to get to 400...

 

[Natman20]

20 runs ...

 

[profernity]

I'd completely forgotten about the possibility of wides.

Come on Taylor! Stay on strike!

 

[Somerset]

Marshall gone!!

Edit: No, its Taylor...why does cricinfo have Taylor and Flynn in then?

Edit 2: Or maybe not??

 

[_Ed_]

Gone.

JAH Marshall c Wilson b Connell 159

Connell to Taylor, no run, High up th sky from a leading edge and the keeper is waiting greatfully underneath to take a simple catch.

 

[profernity]

Come on Taylor! Stay on strike!

...Or the next best thing.

 

[Natman20]

10 from 3

 

[James]

10 from 3 balls..... come on!

 

[_Ed_]

6 from 1 ball needed.

 

[Somerset]

394/2 then...a real hiding in the field, such a shame to see the Irish side so weak.

 

[profernity]

Two dot balls at the end! Would you believe it.

 

[Natman20]

Taylor should be dropped hes absolute crap!


Kidding!

Yeah, I think I only recognise 3 names from their decent World Cup squad.

 

[Somerset]

Yeah, I think I only recognise 3 names from their decent World Cup squad.

Yup, where are the likes of the O'Briens, Johnson, Rankin, Porterfield, etc.

However, hundred on debut for Connell...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yeah, I think I only recognise 3 names from their decent World Cup squad.

The others are mostly playing county cricket. Crazy.

True. Cricinfo have changed the score now

 

[profernity]

It's now gone up to 402. Are Cricinfo adjusting for inflation?
