Group A World Cup

[Kram81]

331 for NZ, Anderson dropped and Ronchi given a life off Malinga costing Sri Lanka at the end. Also not often that you see him with a pie shop open in his first spell in particular.

Not long until the first Australian game now, hopefully the crowd is 90k+.

 

[Brian Lara]

Looking at the scorecard. NZ 331 and it seems some NZ players could've done better still. No one even threatened a ton.

 

[Kram81]

And Vettori gets Dilshan caught and bowled, pretty soft dismissal. SL 1 for 67 key wicket of Sangakkara in now.

Aussies are off to a flyer. Poms won the toss and elected to bowl first. Aussies are currently 0/47 after 6 overs

 

[Brian Lara]

I don't think Australia have been as good as 57 of 8 suggests. But those 2 wickets even out the game. Incredible. Loving the Buzz.

I was going to say before those wickets. I'm watching the tv coverage, while tuning in and out of the radio. Allan Border finishes the opening stint on tv, and then went straight to the ABC radio coverage!

 

[Kram81]

Stadium looks magnificent full.

3 wickets taken by the Poms pin Australia back, Bailey really has to find some form to help Finch recover the innings here.

 

[Kram81]

Geez that looked out bouncing up off Ronchi's glove, lucky to not get given.

Sri Lanka pretty much screwed anyway at 6 for 171.

 

[Kram81]

It's like Bailey is batting with a tooth pick out there atm.. Carn Smiling George! 3 for 105.

[Brian Lara]

Has there ever been so many mis-hits in a ton like what Finch has done?

 

[Kram81]

Finn hat-trick on the last ball lol. Total of 342, good luck chasing that Soapdodgers.

 

[Brian Lara]

LOL Finn hat-trick too. After that innings, what a load of garbage. Although if England chase it down, it may prove crucial.

Great team effort all round!

 

[futureblackcap]

England don't seem to learn. Ballance as a one day player? Why Taylor at five when he has been doing well at three? Way to give the young guy confidence...

Also, surely Hales is a better choice of an opener than Ali?

 

[Brian Lara]

LOL Bell and Root. England can't seem to do anything right. Now awaiting the hat-trick ball!

 

[Brian Lara]

No!

 

[Kram81]

LMAO England. Well at least their batting should be strengthened when KP is back in the side.


Oh wait..

 

[Kram81]

England have jumped the shark.

M.Marsh with 5 wickets!

 

[Kram81]

Gotta stop this little twerp from pinching a ton!

 

[SriLanka]

no way kumar dharmasena is a fool for giving that run out, the ball is dead when the umpire raises his finger i'am sorry but he's got it wrong and poor james taylor i feel for u bud, congrats to da Aussies and pls dnt talk abt the sri lanka game i'am embarrassed.
