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

[Brook]

I think I heard the commentators say it's to make the crowd cheer (?) Don't know if that's right.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah but he was dropped how many times during that innings. One innings doesn't prove anything though, when the pressure was on Bopara stuggled badly.

ROSCO!

Laters Collingwood.

 

[King Pietersen]

Was dropped once, possibly twice. Pretty sure he was only dropped once in that innings, just after a break, at square leg clipping off his pads.

We're screwed. 80/5 with Bopara and Wright at the crease :laugh

 

[Highlander999]

Damn it, I hate finding out here before on cricinfo. Looks like I jinxed Collingwood

 

[Howsie]

Big wicket that, Elliott is so under-rated it's not funny. 14 wickets at 24 and a batting average of around 45. Really like him these day's.

 

[nz0003]

Not happy with these extras, really undoing the good work.

It's typical Butler though, he just can't sustain pressure for long enough.

Proof that good stats don't equal a good cricketer for me. If you wanted to steal a good South African, at least steal a good one. Pietersen and Trott were going ffs.

 

[Themer]

Just got back in to see we're 80/5.

The commentators have been talking about the pitch being good for bowling but is it 80/5 or as I suspect we're just doing awfully?

We did, his names Neil Wagner. But Elliott top's all.

Fantastic cricketer, that is all.

 

[nz0003]

ELLIOT! Beautiful ball.

 

[King Pietersen]

Oh ffs. Elliot just had to bowl a delivery like that after I slagged him off. What a twat.

90/6. Could do with 180 at least I reckon.

 

[Highlander999]

LOL, guessing another wicket gone. Keep up cricinfo, Wright just hit a four last I heard

Agreed
