WI COMEBACK BRILLIANTLY - MAR SHALL OUT FOR 92, update 50 0vers



Well Marshall got out in the 90's and everybody including the the WI supporters were disappointed to see his departure as he really played superbly under pressure.

Gayle was the successful bowler and his skipper was the fielder.

 

[The Champ]

Mcmillan and Cairns hit the WI bowlers to all parts of the ground in their partnership as NZ were now going after the ball in the last overs.

After departure of Marshall Mcmillan played some lovely shots.





Cairns even came down to the track to hit this big six.

 

[The Champ]

Powell takes 2 wkts in a single over:


Well Powell took two crucial wkts of Cairns and Mcullum both to superb outfield catches by best.

First Cairns hit a huge shot down the ground to see Best hold on to it just before the ropes!!!!!!!!.


The very next ball Mccullum tried the same shot and was caught again by Best.


NZ slowly losing the momentum here viewers.

 

[The Champ]

Well everything happening out here in the middle and crowd are really very much excited about this and they r really enjoying this stuff.

 

[The Champ]

Mcmillan is out thats a big wkt for WI.


Well Mcmillan was dismissed just when he was looking dangerous and thats waS indeed a great wkt for the WI when really everything is going NZ way.

Sarwan took this wkt and what a wkt it is WI are celebrating.

 

[The Champ]

Well Oram and Styris hit crucial 4's in the last overs and NZ end up with 264 0f 50 overs.

Competitive score at end of 50 overs, but pitch looks fine one for batting, God only Knows.

NZ 264-6 50 overs, Marshall 92, Mcmillan 73.

LUNCH TIME REVIEW:



TONY COZIER: Well its a fine performance by the Kiwis to score a valid and competitive score of 264 on this pitch which even though is good isnt have a great deal of pace and bounce.


BOB WILLIS: Well i agree once they looked like they will end up with 280 or so therefore WI too have done well in the last overs to restict them to 264. Excellent innings by Marshall and aggressive innings by Mcmillan.


TONY COZIER: Well here is the scorecrd of the NZ innings.

 

[The Champ]

TONY COZIER: Well this the batting stats and bowling stats so far. They have done very well NZ, but credit should also go to WI bowlers to get some crucial wkts in the end overs.



The two most productive batsman were Marshall and Mcmillan and this how they fared in their stay at the middle.

 

[The Champ]

Brief Summary of NZ innings viewers:








WI need 265 of 50 overs to win first odi

 

[m_vaughan]

Hey Sriram,

I have no clue why the scorecard isnt showing the FOW. Its clearly there when you see the config files, but for some reason it does not appear ingame.

Anyways I'll try and by the end of the day, I'll send you the config file for the scorecard with FOW.

I'll then release a first full release of the patch on Monday.

SCORE UPDATE( 10 OVERS ), WI LOSE EARLY WKT, GAYLE ON FIRE



Well WI began their innings poorly with both openers Powell and Gayle struggling to put bat to ball so that only 12 were scored of 4 overs, Martin was very mean in his spell.

But soon Gayle frustration gave way for this shot.


Soon Gayle lofted Mills for a huge six over long on boundary.

 

[The Champ]

Powell was the first one to be dismissed top edging a pull from Martin, a shot more of frustrations.





But Gayle continued to dominate and Lara too hit a lovely on drive to put WI in a good position at 10 overs.

Lovely ondrive from Lara.
