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

[SciD]

Elliott was given the ball

Nah the pitch is a bowlers paradise.

Your best sign till date.

 

[Howsie]

Not bad huh.


Still nervous about this score, I don't really have much faith with this batting line-up. Although we bat all the way down to 10 so we should be alright, can so see someone like Hopkins or Vettori being their at the end.

 

[King Pietersen]

Bat all the way down to 10? You barely bat down to number 5

 

[deepuparayil]

KIWI KIWI KIWI will u please win this one?

 

[Howsie]

I didn't say the batted well, but they can bat. Butler's at 10 and he's no mug with the bat.


Dam I though we'd missed the usual let the opposing team of the hook chance.

JA king of saving Test matches at Cardiff is still my hero.

 

[King Pietersen]

Open with Jimmy and Sidebottom in the next game?

What a shot from Sidebottom. Classic on-drive.

 

[Howsie]

Get Elliott back on, or at least bring yourself on Vettori. Please don't let this game slip away.


Liking the analysis on Franklin.

 

[King Pietersen]

Get to 150 and we might have a chance here. 150 is defendable if we bowl well. If it swings around then Jimmy and Sidebottom could be a real handful on this deck.

 

[Howsie]

We really better not let England of he hook here, I'm expecting us to though. We always seem to do it.

Yea pretty much expected it

 

[nz0003]

This is getting really frustrating, bring golden arm on.

 

[evertonfan]

Classic bit of jinxing there from Willis.

 

[Howsie]

Finally. Geez that's annoying.

 

[nz0003]

PISS OFF SIDEASS.

That was a major relief.

 

[Howsie]

Grant Elliott telling the England batsmen how it should be done

Still pretty nervous tbh. I still think we'll win but you never know, if we lose Guptill and McCullum early it will be game on. Hopefully our long tail will get us home if needed.

This game reminds me of the first CH game this year against Australia.
