3 Game T20I series New Zealand v England 2013

[IanG]

Can they bowl them out for less than 92?

 

[Iafeta]

He was a good bowler. And then Nathan Astle was suddenly faster than him and he found that at his Chris Harris-like pace, half trackers weren't effective. Matt Elliott's brother is now copping a flogging from Buttler.

 

[Iafeta]

Buttler hits one to Kaitaia. The Elliott brother from another mother got tonked.

 

[IanG]

Whhoooooaaaa Living on a prayer!!!!!!!

 

[Iafeta]

Franklin ripping through them now like a modern day Wasim Akram.

 

[IanG]

8 for 115
Butler gone for 54. Enter Steven "Neil" Finn

 

[Iafeta]

... Or maybe a modern day Murphy Su'a. Tredwell smacks him to Eketahuna.

 

[Iafeta]

30 runs per over. They're a real chance here. Get on them, good value at the TAB.

 

[Iafeta]

Trent Boult gets some sweet chin music... off his own bowling, by the #10.

 

[Iafeta]

Gary Baxter gets generous to the Poms. Given a wide thats inside the line. Tops.

 

[Iafeta]

56 off the last over. Big chance.

 

[IanG]

Need a few No Balls with free hits though

 

[Iafeta]

Back to Wasim Akram-like stuff there from the venemous James Franklin. Castles the all conquering Tredwell. Battle of the champions finally ends.

 

[IanG]

137 for 9 Tredwell gone. Bowled Frankin

 

[Iafeta]

Jade Dernbach is the crease now. His aim is to win the tattoo of the night comp. Unfortunately Ross Taylor's got him covered with a butterfly tramp stamp. Franklin channels Akram with a great delivery to lure Dernbach with a furious drive straight to mid off, to claim 4-fer. The only thing that can top this night for Franky would be to borrow those $2 you talked about previously Ian.

 

[IanG]

Poms all out 137

Kiwis win by 55 runs

Series level 1-1

Winner take all in Wellington on Friday

Does he still have that 50s greaser hairdo?

 

[Iafeta]

It'll be Wellington Ink - McCullum/Taylor v Dernbach/Broad.

 

[Iafeta]

Does he still have that 50s greaser hairdo?

You're not confusing him with the great #3, Hamish Marshall, are you? This was back in the good old days, when cricketers gave elders their due and T20 the respect it deserves. They got promptly spanked that night. In more ways than one.

 

[IanG]

Looks like he should be on the set of Grease
