T20 World Cup

[fundy]

gonna be a pretty dull WC if we get lots of decks like this, expect the Kiwi line up was right based on what weve seen so far

 

[fundy]

india 12-3 and this could be a struggle for india

awful pitch thats for sure

 

[Norrin Radd]

just what the kiwis needed ,now to get Kholi out and you would fancy a kiwi win.

 

[fundy]

looks like the kiwis chose the right basket! theres to lose here now

 

[Norrin Radd]

45-7 off 11 ,kiwi win big time now.

 

[Piece]

With this pitch, I think the quickies may as well be in the crowd!

79-9 IND. Turn on the showers, bring out the beer, it's home time!

 

[Norrin Radd]

well that was a rout. well played the black cats.

 

[fundy]

hats off to the kiwis, brilliant (left field) team selection, excellent plans and brilliantly executed

 

[upsidedown]

well that was a rout. well played the black cats.

Well played the Black Caps , great result

 

[Tongo]

Great stuff from NZ. Would love to see India knocked out early.

 

[richart]

Hope the wickets are going to be better than the one today. Can we get another couple of spinners into out team at short notice ?

New Zealand didn't play their best two pace bowlers, so at least they read the wicket perfectly.

 

[Tongo]

Boom Boom Afridi teeing off! 31 off of 12 balls so far. 3 overs remaining.

 

[Dan2501]

Great. Now Sky will be hyping Afridi for the rest of the tournament. He's had his 1 in 20 innings, back to 6-and-Out cricket rest of the tournament.

 

[Tongo]

Pakistan have got a tasty bowling line-up with Wahab, Mohammad Irfan and Mohammad Amir. Could be an interesting series against England this summer.

 

[Dan2501]

They do indeed. Amir is an incredible talent. Could have had 7 years of great cricket from him if he'd avoided getting into trouble. Going to be one of Pakistan's greatest bowlers if he stays on the right track.

 

[Tongo]

T20's inherent weakness being demonstrated in this game. Team batting first post a cracking score and, unless the team batting second gets off to a flyer, the second innings is a bit of a non-event.

Eng lost toss and batting. 150 minimum needed?

Eng lost toss and batting. 150 minimum needed?

you want a lot more than 150 here, run lines opened up mid 170s and that may be less than is needed imo

Going to be tight finish this one. Interesting to see how Rashid and Ali go...

some dew with the very late start time, spinners likely to struggle to grip it and only going to get worse as inns goes on
