Group D - 10th Match NZ v SA

[Howsie]

Guptill better open today, can't have Jesse Ryder farting around at the top of the order today.

 

[Ari]

I would open with McCullum and Taylor then have McGlashan/Guptill/Franklin in after that.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

aaah kyle, calm yourself. that should have been put away. (even by scotland players, and kyle is actually good)

good over in the end by oram, NZ have reeled back the momentum a bit. certainly though, this is a defendable score already. I guess Oram and butler will bowl again, Ryder to take one as well, they're tricky more than threatening.

 

[aussie1st]

Taylor will probably have to go to 3 as well. Going to need some serious magic from McCullum here.
Wow 6 and then 4, 67 after 5 overs that will take some getting already and they still have 2 overs.

 

[Howsie]

Seven Overs, pftttttttt.

 

[aussie1st]

Yea sucks to be you guys especially now. That is the one positive about being in the group of death, there are no upsets

 

[Ari]

Jesse "Pies" Ryder

 

[Howsie]

This game is over, Scotland win.

 

[ajdude]

Jesus Christ Poonia, go and fetch it Jacob. Far out, another upset here.

 

[aussie1st]

Holly crap that went high, thought it would land to one of the outfielders but just kept going and going.

 

[King Pietersen]

LOLZ. Jacob Oram a better bowler than Andrew Flintoff. Don't make me laugh. Getting spanked by Poonia. I am loving this. Come on Scotland! Guppers to score a few though!

 

[aussie1st]

Just noticed, McCullum is captain. Poor bloke, first he is stuck with the crap KKR now hes facing the 2nd upset in this tournament.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

ON YOU GO COETZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is quite simply, superb. compared to what I was expecting which was being bowled every couple of balls because we kept missing the ball. but apart from one ball we've put them away and rotated the strike and kept the batsmen wide awake, which is crucial but oft neglected in short short short games.

Poonia has managed to get himself in, if such a concept exists in a 7 over game.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I can't believe this is happening. Scotland are at 81-1 after 6 overs! Another upset is in the cards.

I don't understand this. Is Vettori injured? It seems he has an injection on his shoulder. There is some similarity with Pietersen being injured yesterday.

 

[Howsie]

tweaking hell Butler.
