1st Match, Pool A: New Zealand v Sri Lanka - NEW ZEALAND WON BY 98 RUNS

[shiznit]

Just did a bit of calculating...

If rain were to kill the game off.... Par for SL at the 20th over which would constitute a game is 142 if they don't lose a wicket...

 

[Rabbits20]

If NZ get a wicket I reckon they will get 2 quickly.

 

[shiznit]

Well with that wicket it goes up to 153

I reckon it's a bit less than that if they don't lose a wicket.

Probably around 125.

 

[Rabbits20]

Oh well it's gone up now.

Probably around 145 imo.

 

[shiznit]

Interesting playing Milne here...

I would have saved him for the minnows TBH... The minnows usually struggle against express pace.

Obviously McCullum likes having his pace as an option...

That's not right. Can't be 7.65 an over only having lost 1 wicket.

The run rate to start with to win was 6.64 required.

I've got a DL calculator on my phone... And that was the figure it gave with 0 wickets... With 1 wicket its 153...

Maybe I'm not putting it in properly... I'll keep mucking around with it..

Fair enough. It just seems a bit too much to me. Seems about 10 runs too many.

Definitely favours NZ at this point.

 

[Rabbits20]

The big wicket is definitely Sanga.

 

[shiznit]

Sorry... 128/1 at the 20th over is par...

I think... :lol:

That seems about right to me.

Peach from Boult. Given the rubbish he's previously bowled (and Milne for that matter), thats a fair effort. Am I alone in thinking Milne is horrendously overrated - I know he's a prospect, but this is the World Cup, play prospects in bilaterial series, not the Cup.

 

[Iafeta]

Jayawardena goes... tata. Well bowled Vettori.

 

[Mr Angry]

Dan always produces......

 

[Iafeta]

I bet you this is one of those"greater than 3m down the wicket" not outs.

 

[Iafeta]

Bye bye Kumar. Game over.

 

[Mr Angry]

Fat lady in full voice.

Back to the other game.

He should never have been picked over Matt Henry.
