Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
McCullum did an Afridi there, not the wisest shot in just the 4th over of the match
should have played Finn more sensibly
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
NZ 39/2 off 6.0 overs...
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
42/3 off 6.5 overs...NZ are in a bit trouble...
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
NZ need some boundaries
small boundaries at this ground, need 170+
NZ sink into deeper trouble; seem to have a mental block against England
42/3 after 7 overs
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
Mc Cullum is so over rated yaar
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
NZ 58/3 the halfway...
English bowlers restricting NZ from runs so far...

Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
96/4 after 15 overs
excellent over for NZ (16 off it)
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
NZ should aim for 12-14 runs an over from here on
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
5 down...
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012

Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
free hit to no avail
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
141/5 off 19 overs (good over for NZ 17 runs)
150+ possible
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
umpiring has been dubious today
That 4th ball was a wide down leg side
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
Target for Eng: 149...a modest one...
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
148/6
England should win this match
Re: ICC World Twenty20 Super8s: England v NZ, Pallekele, Sep 29, 2012
I don't really agree with batsman being penalised if the bowler's hand knocks off the bail(s). It should be a no-ball and hence the boundary should stay. if anything it should be 4 + 1 =5 runs to the team plus an extra ball
It cost NZ 7 runs today plus a few no-balls (above shoulder height) and leg-side wides not given by the umpires. Let's hope they are atleast consistent
