10th Match: England vs New Zealand at Jo'Burg

[nz0003]

Vettori not needed by the looks of it.

 

[Howsie]

Here we go, right on que

 

[nz0003]

Elliot, you are amazing.

Get a 5fa son!

 

[King Pietersen]

I love the way Bopara's going about this innings atm, just giving the strike to Swann :laugh Not worked for England though, Swann decides to smack one straight up. Terrible batting. Elliot gets another =[

Come on Ravi, time to have a bash.

 

[Ari]

Watch us mess up this run chase though.

 

[Howsie]

Pffft. Who need's James Franklin when you have Grant Elliott. He might have a lower bowling average then Bond after this game.

 

[King Pietersen]

Why the hell has Bopara given Sidebottom the strike? Oh, it's all good, he survived.

Batting powerplay?

 

[nz0003]

Grant Elliot must have had a decent root before this game.

 

[King Pietersen]

Again, Ravi takes a single and leaves Sidebottom on strike, this time against Bond. Trying to boost his average?

He's probably getting of strike so he can think of a way to combat Grant Elliott

 

[nz0003]

Unlucky Bopara, that basically rolled.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Bopara changed the strike because Sidebottom is a better batsman than he is. Clever batting.

 

[King Pietersen]

Bloody hell. That did not get up at all. Good effort from Bopara though, showed abit of mental strength to survive as long as he did with wickets falling around him. 30 off 51 isn't bad going.

 

[SciD]

What happened to Kiwis?

 

[Howsie]

What happened to Kiwis?

Elliott was given the ball

Nah the pitch is a bowlers paradise.
