2nd ODI: New Zealand v England at Napier, 20 Feb 2012

[vvvrulz]

Uh oh... all over now.

 

[hineyrulz]

Sounds like I'm missing some top quality fireworks, oh and lol @ the Poms.

 

[Iafeta]

Damn, McCullum goes, 100 run partnership off 54 balls. Top class batting. 74 off 36 balls. Great innings.

 

[vvvrulz]

New Zealand 243/4 (44.4 ov)

As strange as it sounds NZ might still screw this up if they're not careful.

 

[IanG]

243 for 5 with 5 overs to go. Might as well just start going for it.

 

[Hutty1986]

Even with McCullum gone, NZ should be looking for 270-280+ here

 

[Iafeta]

VVVrulz, completely agree. Franklin needs to hit the ball, not play and miss dabbing.

 

[Iafeta]

Franklin applying the mercy rule. Franklin looked dreadful today. Its a boost he's gone (for NZ).

 

[vvvrulz]

And Franklin is gone, its slog or nothing for the rest of the tail really.

 

[Iafeta]

Great shot McCullum... err Nathan. 6 more.

 

[Iafeta]

McCullum goes now.

 

[vvvrulz]

6 and out!

 

[Hutty1986]

Get Taylor on strike, would be good to see him ton up. Quality player.

 

[Iafeta]

4 more for Taylor. Woakes loves bowling pies, he's channelling Mick Lewis. 5 away from a ton here.

 

[vvvrulz]

Woakes loves bowling pies, he's channelling Mick Lewis.

Now there's an insult.

 

[Iafeta]

Woakesy you legend gets a wicket. Quality bowler this chap LOL

 

[vvvrulz]

Southee goes for the might heave ho and misses completely.

Tail not wagging here.

 

[Iafeta]

Rossco gets a ton. He's back. He's back baby. Woaksey bowls another half volley pie.

 

[vvvrulz]

There's the century, very important knock for Taylor well done.

 

[Hutty1986]

Well played, great hundred under pressure. Also, following the game is making the afternoon in the office go faster. Win-win.
