Group E - England, India, New Zealand, South Africa

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Wright too gone now England came too close, but their luck is not with them

Gillespie will bowl the final over. New Zealand should win this from here.

 

[angryangy]

That wide turned the scales in England's favour a fair bit, you know. Winnable with 3 boundaries.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Just a single of the first and second ball. It's all over now I would say.

13 runs from 4 balls needed.

England must win this game to open this group up further !
C`mon England !
Will this go to the bowlout. Both batsmen do not look like being able to hit the ball long.
9 from 2, game over now.

 

[angryangy]

Yep. The chance was there. Needed a Vettori down the order.

 

[The_gas]

Lol dismal dismal England. They always manage to mess it up!

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's all over. New Zealand has won by 5 runs.

England has basically been knocked out of the tournament. Unless strange things happen.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Good win for New Zealand. Great work by them.

 

[angryangy]

I said it tongue in cheek, but Vettori really did act as the difference between the teams. He pushed NZ to a good score with tactical batting and nailed the key wicket of Pietersen. Plus that blinder of a run out.

Are they out of the tournament

 

[Leicester Fox]

Same old story with England, getting fed up of this now although in that game i felt it was more our lack of experience in internationals that cost us but i'm really getting fed up of this failure. I'll give Moores time but all he's shown so far is we've gone froma below average ODI side to an average one and we've lost our first home tests in ages.

 

[avirax]

All I gotta say is Typical England. Same ol' as per usual.

How they can play Anderson over Tremlett is beyond belief. Snape as well in the previous game was a shocking decision.

Daniel Vettori proved that Panesar deserved a place in that team; he might not be able to bat but you can guarantee he'll bowl well and keep the scoring rate down. England's selector's are the worst around.

 

[Arunava]

Stupidity, they need a bit more experience. .and first thing to realize is that they need to understand and give the opposition's fielding some respect, it is not India, that they can take 2 of misfielding @ covers

BTW: It was only hope for India if England would have won. .but it now seems . . .

 

[ZexyZahid]

For England to have any chance for the semi finals New Zealand must beat South Africa. In the last matches England must beat India and India must beat South Africa. And to hope that their runrate is higher then the rest.
