3 Game T20I series New Zealand v England 2013

[Iafeta]

Missed stumping by Brendan McCulm off his brother. Morgan gets a four now, after 7 dot balls.

Not use to hearing radio commentary with ads

 

[Iafeta]

Ok, Butler has now bowled 7 dot balls in a row to Morgan.

 

[Iafeta]

Crikey, now 8. Does Morgan realise its a T20?

 

[Iafeta]

Rutherford shells a sitter. That would have 10 dots in a row includin wicket off Morgan.

 

[IanG]

Kenny's boy puts one down

 

[Iafeta]

Nathan McCullum gets rid of Lumb, who in 9 overs fair dinkum hit the ball off the middle once. Both him and Morgan were having Barry Crocker Shockers.

 

[IanG]

Nathan gets a wicket. 4 for 43 Lumb gone Bowled. Enter Jos Butler.

Hope Ian Butler bowls out. Butler to Butler

 

[Iafeta]

Ta-ta Morgan. Worst innings of his career just about. Bloke was lucky to hit the ball off the square.

 

[IanG]

Morgan gone 13 (22)

Poms 5 for 47

With all this in mind, do we, begrudgingly, give some credit to the lawn bowler selector dude from Australia? Hell of a ballsy call to pick him, and he's repaying them in spades.

It would have been silly not to have given him a go tbh. He's taken a truckload of wickets in all forms since being picked for Auckland so sheer hard work does pay off.

Ian Butler's been impressive too. Charging in like its 2004 again.

 

[Iafeta]

Butler - best spell in a NZ shirt from him, since his 6/46 about 10 years ago. Defending near on 200, 2 for 9 from 4 overs is awesome.

 

[Iafeta]

Trent Boult, what a throw - ta ta Dipak Patel.

 

[IanG]

LOL Dipak Patel.

Poms going down faster than a $2 hooker

 

[Iafeta]

130 runs off 42 balls. Should be close.

 

[IanG]

Without seeing it how close was that LBW?

 

[Iafeta]

Possibly taking leg. Good decision to say not out.

 

[Iafeta]

20 runs per over. Can they do it? WHat an epic five day chase.

 

[Iafeta]

Chris Broad departs. The shame of it... out to Franklin.

 

[IanG]

I thought Frankin was a decent bowler but got converted into a batsman
