[Oxy]

Vetorri is ruled out of this swim-fest - injured shoulder I think

i have a feeling this icc t20 will be not as popular as ipl
poorly organized and weather not helping either
for me the final of the tournament is over (india-pak) (assuming they dont meet again), who wants to see bopara and luke (certainly not me)- i would rather see Shane Warne playing Gilchrist
call me stupid, but i am missing those DLF maximums and Citi moment of success already

 

[*sallu*]

lol..
no and way!!!!
(i) watching 11 international players is lyk a 1000 times better than just 4
(ii) better quality of cricket
(iii) and most imp no pakisss =(

 

[bestcricketlover]

LOL, as i said call me stupid
i see things differently
maybe u guys see lot of county cricket
who is seeing quality in 20-20 cricket? its only pure 100% entertainment - akram was saying the samething on commentary yesterday and dont tell me akram is stupid

 

[*sallu*]

10.45am Some important news from Andrew Miller in London. If the game does get underway, Brendon McCullum will lead New Zealand, as Daniel Vettori has had an injection on his shoulder. He'll miss the game. Martin Williamson, our Executive Editor, who lives around ten miles from the Oval, says it has stopped raining and is brightening up. So we may, after all, have some play. Fingers crossed.

Well you'll have to get over the end of the Bollywood league!

Ak-ram will say anything these days. He's not stupid.

He wont bite the hand that feeds him!

 

[bestcricketlover]

as i said, people sees things differently - i just say what i think
maybe it strikes a "laal mirchi" somewhere deep inside at many places

 

[Oxy]

as i said, people sees things differently - i just say what i think

Well its over until next time. Bollywood league is entertainment 1st & foremost - cricket is a side show.

World T20 - more serious form of T20...albeit a more wetter form of T20

The edited post gave you away!!! Banned, reregistered, but couldnt hold back with the 'lal mirchi' trademark!!!

Goodbye!

 

[Da Best]

Next match is WI vs Australia.

 

[*sallu*]

Scotland: hamilton (capt), watts, coetzer, poonia, smith, watson, mccallum, wright, drummond, stander, macleod, 12: berrington

New Zealand: mccullum (capt), ryder, guptil, taylor, styris, oram, mcglashan, franklin, n mccullum, butler, o'brien, 12: broom

Toss: The news from The Oval from our man Alex Brown is that New Zealand have won the toss and opted to bowl. As we had told you earlier, New Zealand are without Daniel Vettori who is out due to a shoulder injury. McCullum will lead in his place.

"Chasing in a shorter game will give us some sort of advantage," said McCullum. "It's not rocket science in these conditions," says Gavin Hamilton, the Scotland captain.


12pm Thank heavens. The news is that the game is due to start at 12.20 pm. It's a seven-over-a-side game.

 

[Da Best]

First over 18 runs.

 

[cricketpassion]

2 0vers 30 runs

 

[cricketpassion]

out

 

[insaftak]

scotland might win this guli danda cricket 67 after 5 overs, 2 more overs to go for them

 

[hashman]

look at where we have come to in this day and age. before 250 ish was a good score in ODI cricket. And now look at the minnows, they might score 90 in 7 overs against NZ.

 

[insaftak]

81 after 6 overs

 

[hashman]

another upset is looming... 1/81 after 6.

 

[insaftak]

Sixxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 89

 

[siccric]

Wow, two games and it seems like both of them are upsets now. I'm a bit worried about our game with Netherlands now :/

 

[161]

Looks like the minnows ain't very minnowish in T20.

 

[insaftak]

90 is target, 3 outs in last three balls. this is going to be tough for NZ

 

[161]

Woah .. it's a 7 over match ?

You got to be kidding me.

 

[asad100101]

dont worry kiwi will make it

 

[Sparhawk]

What are the scottish bowlers like? Ross and McCullum will have a field day out there.

 

[insaftak]

Woah .. it's a 7 over match ?

You got to be kidding me.

yeh how about we flip the coin and decide who wins

 

[Lethal]

Extraordinary batting display from the Scotland team.

New Zealand must be panicking slighty.

90 runs off 7 overs is not going to be easy.

Have to say it is a belter of a pitch. But credit to Scotland. Well played.

 

[insaftak]

This reminds me of tape ball cricket!

 

[cricketpassion]

I really want scotish to win it.

 

[Taurus]

This is awful - Seven7?

Batsmanship is dead, the Scottish just came out swinging and it worked. This format of the game is a monster when all it encourages is bad technique.

 

[On_the_up]

this will take some getting. McCullum the key

 

[insaftak]

NZ 19 after 1 over

 

[Amjid Javed]

A tough short chase here for the Kiwis!
