de Villiers poor bloke the other day he just didn't put a foot wrong, but today he was not so lucky.


Good ball from Franky that!!
Yeah, 4th duck of the WC, to go with his 100 and 2 50's.

Yeah, the big key was the 2 balls before the wicket slanting across AB. Then he swings one into AB and gone-burgers

Gave up a night clubbing for this aswell. Will be pissed if it's not a good game (i.e. NZ winning :p). Although at least i would have saved myself some yennage.

Excellent start for the Black Caps, Franklin is bowling beautifully. If only he was able to consistently bowl like this at the start of ODI's.

Do you guys think the conditions are going to remain the same through the day or is the pitch gonna get better for batting as the day progresses.

I think, TBF, if Franklin could have bespoke pitch it would pretty much be this. He's making good use of it tho, to be fair to him.

Just high quality stuff from Franklin & Bond. 6 runs off 6 overs. Fair play.

Yes, very pleasing to see. The pitch is helping him out but you still have to land it in the right places.

Flem should bowl him out so he doesn't have to come back and get slaughtered.

I think the overcast conditions are also helping the fast-bowlers, so it was a superb toss for Flem to win.



Have a feeling Gibbs might do something crazy soon.


EDIT: Some rain in the air now.

Run for Gibbs. Wheels coming off for the Black Caps....

Richards just said there's rain in the air. Bugger. :dry:

EDIT: Coming off. Or not. Staying on. Huzzah.

Rain rain go away, come again another day :(

EDIT: My little chant worked a charm :p
If Barry Richards describes the pitch as 'tacky' once more I'm gonna.......
