WC2007: Super 8

[irottev]

Stop moaning . dont blame the umpires they just get fraction of seconds to make a decission :

I'm not the one blaming the umpires. I don't know where that came from :

Time to watch the rest of this game. I hope it coems close, even though I doubt we can win with only 220. Hopefully if I come back on the same clown who keeps winding me up each time shuts his trap. From now on i'm going to think about what to post rather then type out some drama sript about it.

Have some faith on your team , 220 is not a bad score to defend

 

[irottev]

I have faith. But showing it on here leaves me open to idiotic comments later on. I'd perfer to be neutral at this stage.

Judgeing by our first 2 overs. 5 wides from the bowler running into the stumps. Jaysuriya getting 4 legbyes when evading the ball and 4 byes from 1 ball which for some reason took off and cleared McCullums head off the pitch, it ain't going to be our day.

Fantastic captaincy, just a shame he grassed it. Didn't cost us much though. Great catch Bondy!

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Tharanga gone , great catch by Bond

 

[Dare]

gotta give it to you irottev you did say that the Sri Lankans should pick on Gillespie, hes 1st over has been brutal.

 

[Adarsh]

I'm a bit disappointed with Bond. He seems to be holding himself back or perhaps not being able to bowl real fast. I feel he's best when he lets loose and bowls at 95 mph instead of the 88 mph that he's bowling now.

 

[Dare]

yea but if he lets loose of one at 95mph than there goes his back, and bond is best at 90-92 mph. thats when most of his wickets come, bowling too fast just gets his back in bad shape.

the kiwis are droping to manny catches here, tough chances but at the WC you have to hold on to some of those.

 

[Master Khan]

Sri Lanka Should win it from here and good innings from jayasuriya

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Vettori got the wicket of Jayawardane , though its not enough to wrap up the who le things now ,maybe if Kiwi can pick up 2-3 wickets soon then we have a game on

 

[Dare]

well with Silva on im not sure that the powerplay this late is a good idea, but it might be worth the gamble.

 

[aussie1st]

The Vaas and Murali show has returned I see.

SL should be in the finals now, so only one real spot open.

 

[Cricketman]

Hmm.
Its still probably going to be taken by Saf, but lets hope that England or the Windies can take it up. Would like it if Bangla sneaked in to the Semi's somehow too

 

[irottev]

We fought well in the end, noi disgrace there. We'll know if we had 30 odd runs more we were good chances. 250-280 somewhere I rekon. We just batted impatiently and poorly against good bowling. Bowling, well Vettori was fantastic, Bond and Styris were great. Gillespie, Franklin and Extras just let us down a little. Oram was a tad expensive too. We were never really going to defend 220 really unless Bondy got 2 or 3 quick wickets, but all the swing had gone. We did drop some hard chances and with 220 they have to stick.

Anyway I'm not worried in the least. I think we'll bounce back from this well.

The first 10 overs of the match was the time where I think made the big difference.

 

[Cricketman]

I think this will help NZ, in a way.
Bring em back to reality and they'll go harder at whoever they face next. (England, is it? I don't know)
