Lara's farewell: West Indies v England [Super 8s/Match 22] - Updates

[Straight Bat]

bit of a mix up there, they escape a run out chance

WI could have had these batsmen out with 5 run out chances so far

 

[Straight Bat]

67/1 afer 11 overs

 

[Straight Bat]

4 leg byes signaled

 

[Straight Bat]

vaughn pulls that ball away for six!

 

[Straight Bat]

flciked away for four from powells bowling again

 

[iZeeshan]

Quite a flying start by England! Vaughn with wonderful stuff! Coming into his own finally!

 

[iZeeshan]

And Bpara leg glances for four.

 

[Straight Bat]

84/1 in the 13th over

 

[iZeeshan]

And another six for Vaughan! England looking to win this!

COme on wicket and bring Peiterson in!

 

[Straight Bat]

vaughn dropped by samuels above his head and takes 2 runs

 

[Straight Bat]

99/1

 

[iZeeshan]

Its funny how everyone seems to perform when everything is over, i.e. Nazir, Vaughan, Gayle...

 

[Straight Bat]

stumps are hit

3rd umpire will have a look

 

[Straight Bat]

Bopara run out.

There you go Pepsi - Pieterson in

 

[iZeeshan]

And finally a run out! Bring in Peiterson!

 

[iZeeshan]

Bopara run out.

There you go Pepsi - Pieterson in

I swear if he goes for anything less then 50 im gonna go crazy! I need to break into top 10! I only have 5 modifications left and I have to rid of Nixon and Piterson somehow.

 

[Straight Bat]

pieterson, with his second ball, hits the ball for four

 

[Straight Bat]

I swear if he goes for anything less then 50 im gonna go crazy! I need to break into top 10! I only have 5 modifications left and I have to rid of Nixon and Piterson somehow.

I need him to do well for my fantasy too. I got 8 left for the semis.

BTW Pepsi - I haven't blocked you or anything on MSN, I'm just as appear offline

 

[Straight Bat]

17 overs 105/2

 

[Straight Bat]

at this stage WI were 106/0

 

[Oxy]

Too much drink; too much sun...was inevitable that one of the lasses would sufer wardrobe malfunction

 

[Straight Bat]

19 overs 114/2 things relatively slowing down considering its a power play

 

[iZeeshan]

I need him to do well for my fantasy too. I got 8 left for the semis.

BTW Pepsi - I haven't blocked you or anything on MSN, I'm just as appear offline

Dude, I never even noticed. But now that you mention it...

lmao jk

im at 12th right now...imagaine wht wud have happened if i tried earlier!

 

[Straight Bat]

pieterson messes up a shot and gets a four

122/2

WI were 126

 

[Straight Bat]

pieterson rides his luck marginaly again I guess

Could have been a catch if it was Collingwood fielding

 

[iZeeshan]

That was odd. My heart stopped for a moment thinking that Pieterson is out!

 

[Oxy]

Vaughan run out - direct hit for 79

154-3

Old guy in the crowd that exactly like Vaughan with an Eng top on!

 

[iZeeshan]

And a second run out for Bravo! Vaughan gone after quite a decent innings.

 

[Oxy]

Imagine having eleven Salman Butt & Abdul Razzaq's in the field!

Thats the Windies for yopu!

 

[Oxy]

Bravo comes on - and gets Collingwood.

Why the hell did I pick the Multan Basher?

 

[iZeeshan]

Gone! Bravo strikes! 2 run outs then this! Great stuff!

 

[Oxy]

Another crap shot - and this time Freddie is OUT!

Sarwan gets him

185-5

 

[Uzzy]

With the fall of one wicket (Vaughan) 3 more followed in a short span of time. Poor stuff.

 

[Uzzy]

Now Dalrymple has been run out! 6th wicket down.

 

[Oxy]

Eng running has been worse than Windies fielding - net result.

Another run out.

Dalrymple strides off.

189-6

 

[Oxy]

C'mon Brian - do a MoYo! Bowl and take a wkt!

 

[Rob H]

On drive for 4 by Pietersen, unbelievable shot that was.

 

[Oxy]

Direct hit - and he was out! Very close.

Smith is operating in some sort of 'trance' today...

 

[12thMan]

Eng 210-6 - need 91 from 63 balls @ 8.67 per over

 

[12thMan]

Pietersen 66 Nixon 7
eng 221-6 after 41 overs - need 80 to win from 54 balls @ 8.9

 

[Oxy]

KP could do it - has the dogged Nixon at the other side.

2 consecutive boundaries by KP.

 

[Saj]

2 boundaries. 4 runs and then 4 leg byes.

 

[Oxy]

2000 ODI runs - any idea if thats one of the quicker ones?

 

[Oxy]

2000 ODI runs - any idea if thats one of the quicker ones?

OK, Cozier confirms he jointly gets to it with Zaheer.

 

[Oxy]

Oooh...Lara goes close to running out KP - direct hit would have been game to WI

 

[Oxy]

247-6

54 runs to win off 6 overs

 

[12thMan]

7 off the last over
Eng 247-6 after 44 overs - need 54 from from 36 balls @ 9

 

[Oxy]

Eng are the favourites for me.

 

[P4K1 #1]

i think england mite win this.. KP has to stay out there... will be a tight finish

 

[12thMan]

Pietersen charges down as Gayle comes to bowl and Gayle decides not to bowl

 

[Rob H]

Reverse sweep from Nixon just short of the man.

 

[Oxy]

Sarwan should have dived for that reverse sweep!

 

[Rob H]

KP tries it now and it goes for 2 byes

 

[Rob H]

3 reverse sweeps in 4 balls now.

 

[12thMan]

7 off the over
Eng needs 47 from 30 balls @ 9.4

 

[Rob H]

Run out chance at both ends fluffed by Chris Gayle. That could be the turning point.

 

[Rob H]

Smashed to cow corner for 4 by Pietersen. This guy is just unbelievable.

 

[Rob H]

22452 attendence today. Why couldnt we have this at every game? or even half of this.

 

[the_game]

Pietersen is the most entertaining batsman to play for England in many years. Wonderful to watch, and I think he will get England home soon.

 

[Oxy]

263-6

38 off 24 balls

 

[Oxy]

22452 attendence today. Why couldnt we have this at every game? or even half of this.

ICC mate. Greed.

 

[Oxy]

Ton up for KP - HUGE SIXER!

Scorecard says 'Vaughan-2nd Hundred of WC'

 

[Rob H]

huge huge huge huge huge huge huge 6. Pietersen goes to his 5th odi hundred off 90 balls. This man is just too good for us.

 

[12thMan]

well played 100 for Pietersen

 

[the_game]

What a six to get his hundred! Brilliant.

 

[Oxy]

32 off 23 balls.

Eng in the 'box-seat'

 

[zushy_786]

22452 attendence today. Why couldnt we have this at every game? or even half of this.

Not when the tickets are astronomically priced and the food costs an arm and a leg...

 

[iZeeshan]

What a way to get a 100! Huge six!

 

[Rob H]

bowled him leg stump out of the ground. Awful afridi like slog by KP

 

[iZeeshan]

Very realistic chance for England now...

 

[Oxy]

KP BOWLED!!!

Its all happening!

What a ball by Taylor

 

[Saj]

Stupid shot from Pietersen. Wild slog, no need for it.

 

[Oxy]

Plunket has had his worst day in an Eng shirt today - lets see what the lad is made of

 

[12thMan]

Pietersen bowled by Taylor
269-7 - need 32 from 23 balls

 

[iZeeshan]

NVM, its game over. didn't see the bowled

 

[the_game]

Oh damn, Pietersen bowled. Nixon needs to finish it off now.

 

[12thMan]

whoever loses has themselves to blame for the loss today.

 

[Saj]

2 to Plunkett cover drive.

30 from 20 balls needed.

 

[Oxy]

whoever loses has themselves to blame for the loss today.

Cricket is the winner (my first cliche of ther WC)

 

[Rob H]

I don't believe this
