lol, That was funny.
Good commentary. This lot are much better.
Fulton was very unlucky there. That ball was going down leg. We always seem to get the bad decisions.
->>Great score posted by New Zealand. Pakistan bowled fantastically until the last 15 odd overs. Fleming and Styris were magnificient and the knocks by Oram and McCullum were really important. To have people to finish the innings off like that is just great. 275 to win. I was worried about whether we would make 230 at one stage, so that is a huge bonus.
It should be enough to defend. Dew pending. I really hope it isn't a factor. We should have a good game on our hands. So the batsmen have done their jobs as a whole, now it is time for the bowlers.
Pakistan have some of the best batsmen in the world though. Afridi and Razzaq can make 275 look like nothing. Key players. I hope we can keep them under control.
I think we are in with a good chance, pretty even at the moment, the opening bursts from Bond and Mills and even Franklin (And other of the latter could get some wickets if the Pakistanis underestimate them, thinking Bond is the only threat) will be crucial. We need to keep it tight. Put pressure on. The last thing we need is for them to be off to a flyer! Bowling at the death is a little bit of a worry to me also, Bond should be ok for a few overs presuming he has some left, but I hope Mills or whoever does it copes. Hopefully we will make the task a hard equation.
Great pitch. Offered a little to the seamers but then made a nice batting wicket. Best so far!
