West Indies in New Zealand

[aussie1st]

Tied Game Bond You Bloody Ledgend!!!!!!!!!

Its Gonna Be A Bowl Off!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol you were telling me there was no draw in 20/20 and now we get to see the bowl off. Cmon Black Caps it took me ages to get all that cash.

I'm going to have to watch the replay on prime tv. I've never seen the bowl off.

I saw once a short clip of a bowl off. It happened previous season with an English Twenty20 match with Leicestershire involved, I think. It's pretty simple. Bowlers has to bowl to the stumps (where there is no batsman) and hit the stumps.

I would of thought prime aired all cricket matches live on tv?? When i went to NZ for a while I saw the test matches on Prime all day. Anyways this is great, first time in international cricket and these sort of matches are a lot more interesting than matches when one team concedes 200 and the other only 140.

Its the first one. (Internationally) There was almost a domestic one here but the 1 run was scored off the last ball to win. The team needed 1 of 1.

I must say its shocking that we didn't win without tieing. Especially from the position we were in.

I don't like this West Indian commentator. Hes all pissy about the bowl off. Guess I can't blame him. His team blew the only chance they will get to beat us at any point in the tour.

I don't think the Windies blew it. The Kiwis blew it to me, they should have won easily. They may yet lose this as well. Now that would be a bloody shocker.

Cricinfo is still stuck at this: New Zealand 110/8 (19.0/20 ov)

Now it's New Zealand 121/8 (19.5/20 ov)

I guess next ball was a no ball or wide and Bond hit a four? Since West Indies had scored 126 runs.

 

[aussie1st]

Cricinfo is up to the bowl off for me.

19.6 Bradshaw to Bond, FOUR, full toss, Bond drives and gets it pas the
cover fielder, ball races away to the fence
19.5 Bradshaw to Franklin, legbye: one run
19.4 Bradshaw to Bond, one run, full down leg side, Bond drives the ball
19.3 Bradshaw to Franklin, one run, length ball, Franklin drives it away
19.2 Bradshaw to Franklin, SIX, lofted away high and over long-on
19.1 Bradshaw to Franklin, two runs, too full and on the pads, Franklin
drives on the on side

Astle missed the stumps twice, ouch!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Yeah, for me cricinfo is also at the bowl off or bowl out. Whatever it's called.

Astle is the first one to bowl.

 

[irottev]

NZ have missed all 6 out of 6. West indies all 6 out of 6

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is fun. :laugh Astle, Smith and Patel missed the stumps. It is that difficult to hit the stumps?

 

[irottev]

BOnd will hit twice. I promice. He hit 1 stump practicing twice from what i saw.

BOND DOES IT TWICE WOOOOHOOOO

Best Bowler in the world at the moment. Middle stump twice.

 

[kodos]

Lol I think both teams are saving the best till last. C'MON CAIRNS!!!

 

[aussie1st]

OMG I have so gotta see this. McGrath would be awesome in this situation.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Bond hit twice. New Zealand are up 2-0. So West Indies have to strike twice otherwhile they will lose the match now?

From what I knew each team had five players to bowl.

 

[cheaterr]

the match is tied what a great match.
