Group B (Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Zimbabwe) - 9th Match Zimbabwe v NZ

[TumTum]

Agree with hMarka, it was a big fluke. But that's how T20 goes and you need to be brave.

Poor Jayawardene cracks a marvelous 81 and the rest of his teams does jack all leaving a pretty average total given his knock. Good on NZ they keep on fighting all the way down to 11. I see Southee was economical again, Styris effective as usual and much better bowling display by Vettori.

was no world cup, just a meaningless exhibition at the end of a Test/ODI series

It was before the ODI and test series...

Great match, came down to the wire and the deserved man of the match Nathan McCullum saw us home

I bet he hits Zimbabwe all around the park, typical now that NZ has beaten the big team he will "succeed"

TBH I don't think he will have that good of a world cup. I was merely saying that he is arguably the top 20/20 batsman with good stats to prove it and 3 centuries in the form but I would agree that he hasn't been consistent enough in the other forms.

I also bet that if he does well against Zimbabwe we will only get rubbished because it's Zimbabwe

McCullum being considered one of the best batsman is just further proof to what a rubbish hit and giggle format Twenty20 is.

Ill stop my McCullum rant now

Fair point, but you have to be a specialist at something.

I'll stop my hMarkas wrong and I'm right rant now :laugh

Jezz, NM was every where!

There should be a MIP (most involved player) award. B/c lets say, SL had won, then MOM would have been Mahela, and they wouldnt count NM's effort. Just like how Mahela doesnt get any thing now that SL lost

MIP = NM
MOM = NM/Mahela

Great game to start the tournament. Was really close and nail biting.

Well done NZ! Good performance.

N McCullum rightfully MotM. Ryder was excellent too and all the bowlers did their bit.

irottev added 3 Minutes and 42 Seconds later...



At least his innings was better than Dilshan's (Both were major fail btw). Pretty sad when you score 0 and play a better innings than someone who scores 3.Dilshan is the most over-rated player IMO.He wasted 19 balls. His innings IMO cost Sri Lanka the game.

McCullum hit a brilliant hundred against Australia in his previous IT20 game and yet he fails the very next innings and all of a sudden he sucks? LOL!

They both are over-rated but Dilshan's a better player than McCulum. He has a better batting average in both tests and odis than McCullum,

Such a ridiculous statement but I am not even surprised.

 

[McLOVIN]

^ LOL! "IMO..i always right, IMO.. I am not getting mad..IMO, hey, did i mention IMO".

Jezz I almost forgot about that guy with ignore list but thanks a lot Dare!

:doh Dilshan 3 off 19 balls! FAIL!

:doh Dilshan 3 off 19 balls! FAIL!

Yeah even an u-15player could play better than him but it happens i hope he'll come over it

 

[riz7khan12]

zimbabwe have a good chance of winning here if they can keep SL to a score of 120-130 than they're in with a real chance here. they have shown they can beat big teams.

You take fanboyism to a whole new level
