Despite losing Powell(??), WI are still on top at the end of 10 overs.

 

[jazz]

NZ ON TOP AT ANTIGUA- SCORE UPDATE 25 OVERS.



Well just after giving WI good start the dashing Gayle departed in the 11th over of the innings missing a straight full delivery from Martin to be dismissed for a well made 34. WI reduced to 53-2

 

[The Champ]

This bought Sarwan to the wicket both himself and Lara looked in good form as both rotated the Strike and in between that played some lovely shots that really graced the ropes as well.





NZ skipper had huge problems in the middle time as both of these players rotated the strikes and played a very sensible approach to situation.

 

[The Champ]

Sarwan is out!!!!!!!!!


WI reached their 100 in their 21st over. Right from the 16th over onwards the NZ began tighting the screws on the WI run scoring. Started dipping below 5 and u can see that?s why the 100 came in the 21st over.

Sawan just trying to lift the run rate played a atrocious shot of Oram to be only caught by vettori. Sarwan made 25 runs WI 102-3

 

[The Champ]

But Lara looked composed at the other end, as he played 2 lovely strokes that assured the runrate isn?t climbing alarmly as one would think.

Big wkt for the Kiwi's Lara is back


But introduction of vettori saw NZ completely dominating the match and as expected Lara didn?t control his nerves and played a poor shot of vettori to be caught in covers of Mcmillan. Lara made 36 runs, another start by a West Indian, WI 120-4. WI in big trouble here.



Finally at end of 25 overs WI were 123-4 with Chanderpaul and Smith at crease

 

[jazz]

the match is evenly poised here. another wicket will put n zealan on top

the match is evenly poised here. another wicket will put n zealan on top

Yes the match is in the balance at the moment. It was disappointing to see Lara being dismissed so cheaply.

 

[boss]

but i think kiwis are on top at the moment!, no one really sets in to take the team thro!,

[rocklara]

Well it looks so far a bit balanced, but the kiwis still have the upper hand one would feel

 

[The Champ]

Well its looks a bit balanced but to tell the truth with sam's new exe i am really finding it hard to play in the middle overs with Vettori bowling so beautifully
