WC2007: Super 8

[irottev]

Nah, we've already disposed of England. We have South Africa and Australia.

 

[aussie1st]

Both of which should be good matches if we get on those flat pitches. Should be very high scoring games if that the case.

Austraila?? HAHAHA...it'll be good to see Aus topying with this poor New Zealand side. Franklin and Fulton are crap...i dunno wat they doin in the lineup. Well South Africa match will be intersting to watch...guys i waz wondering
what if NZ lose all of their remaining matches...will they still reach semi final??
This probe will be semis lineup...Aus vs SA SRl vs ENG

I can see why you have so much negative reputation after posts like that. I don't need winding up any further thanks. Australia sure did toy with us in the recent Chappell Hadlee series didn't they?

if we lose our remaining matches, then we should still make the semi's. Net Run Rate may come into it, but ours is good. Theres only 1 side with any chance of upsetting the current 4 and I doubt it will happen.

Was uncle Ricky, Lee, Gilly playing? And who was the captain...Hussey?? That guy is not a good captain as a batsman he is. With Rickey captaining the side is totally different side and I dont think I have to say anything about his batting. BEST batsman I've ever seen! Im not saying NZ sucks or anything Im saying based on todays NZ performences against ugly lankans. [dont take is seriously buddy...im "just crazy"]

Great performance by SL was no surprise tbh. The greatest thing was that it was done without Malinga. If he had played i doubt NZ would've made over 150. One thing I noticed was that they were really flat in the field. Especially when sanath and kumar were having that partnership. The kiwis normally are prtty loud and nifty but not today.

Also was great to see how Bond was neutralised. Don't think he troubled any batsmen even tho he did bowl well. Gng to be tough for NZ. THey always lift their game when they play Aus, especially when they do it at HOME but the 3 nil in the Chappel Hadlee was a whole different scenario. Crumbled at their first real test in the tournament.

SL v Aus should be a humdinger. Especially if Malinga is fit again. Could be the battle of the Slinger's. Mali vs Tait.

Malinga does tend to be a little expensive in his first spells though. He may have actually allowed us a better start. Who knows.

And to crazy, yeah, you are crazy. You said Fulton and Franklin suck. Both are young and can play very well. Both aqre probably more test players. I expect Franklin to be a top test all-rounder for us in the future. The White ball doesn't do as much for him, but he's good decent accuracy most of the time and I saw him bowl a slower ball or two today, which is a good sign. He's developing new skills.

 

[cric_craze]

We will all be happy tommorow if Bangladesh knocks out England

someone gave me a bad reps for saying this lol. u have to admit that england really do suck in odis.

Shhhh...making statements against England is not a good idea in this forum. Even I got some -ve reps :cool:

 

[irottev]

I bet you can all imagine I do as well :{

I'm hoping the Aussies take the Irish to the cleaners.

 

[charith]

Just read Flemmings post match int and he says that they were limiting the damage? No wonder they were flat. Almost giving up early and then not taking the powerplays to prevent us cruising early to the target. Good tactic even tho a bit negative. Could've been more attacking to try to get wickets.

Most probably you will also lose those matches :

Why was that comment necessary? 1 bad game and we're already written off. SA have played pretty average. I;d say we have a decent shot. Australia, well it's Australia. When will any team ever be favourites against them?

Not written off, I just said the probability

As much as I agree with that statement (which I no doubt wholeheartedly do) you still have to admit that we can at least reach the Super 8's unlike some other teams...*whistles*
