7/71 Sangakara (sp?) gone

Looks like The Aus players are letting the side down a little ;-)

All out for 81 in the 20 over. Warne got a duck.


Very Very sad effort. after starting so well to.

 

[Iafeta]

4/69 Blewett gone. Shocker of a decision though.

Was for a caught behind. Not a bad leg before though.

 

[Iafeta]

Well well well, take my hat off to Jeff Wilson in particular. That was an exceptional bowling display from him and Cairns.

The scoreline, and how easy it was early on though shows to me how Darryl Tuffey is nowhere near his best yet.

 

[bayrep]

Tuffy tends to have a crap game every 3-4 games though. Mills was his usually self short wide. Cairns good as ever. Wilson you still have your doubts about him. WXI played some bad shots and 1 dodgy call for Blewett didnt help matters.

 

[bayrep]

Maybe they thought it was a 20/20 game

Dodgy in that it was given caught behind, I still believe he was leg before. Line was very good, Coney went on about the height but don't forget when it passed a few inches outside off stump it would have clipped the bail and from there its already deviated upwards off the pad. Blewett was out leg before.

 

[bayrep]

Is that what they called him for ?

 

[Iafeta]

No it went in the book as caught behind, which it certainly wasn't.

 

[wittyfan]

Jeff Wilson is a champion! Where was he during the Test series here? :?

 

[JTR]

They mentioned the possibility of a 20/20 game for the evening session.

The fans at the game would have paid good money for their seats and I know I'd feel a bit ripped off if the game I went to see was all over in 30 overs or so...

It'd be good to see.

 

[Skinner]

My young bloke coughed up 27 hard earned for his seat (no student prices)
and he's gunna be gutted....in fact he'll probably be home for tea.....

[Bronco Boy]

Why isnt Knight in the OD Eng side he plays well.

He retired from ODI's after the last world cup.

You'd think there'll be a 20/20 fixture because after all this is for charity, so they've got to try and raise as much money as possible. Another 40 overs, another 7-8 sixes, more catches, more runs, more exposure to the auctions=$$$ for Sri Lanka which has got to be the main aim.

 

[bayrep]

I think I would rather see a 20/20 than see NZ chase 80 runs.

 

[bayrep]

New Zealand 22/0 (2.1 ov)
New Zealand RR: 10.15

 

[bayrep]

It looks like they are swinging at everything.

 

[bayrep]

New Zealand 29/1 (4.1 ov)

Fleming gone. Not surpriseing they are taking big swingings at everything and in the last over and a half missed more times than not.
