[NZcricketfan]

Stopped raining but really windy and sky is dark

 

[Ottoman]

Wet outfield, shouldn't risk playing on it just before the start of WC.

 

[habibi hayya]

2-0 buddy

And you lay a goose egg and that too against Zim?

Makes it look worst.

You lost a test to zimbabwe buddy

 

[NZcricketfan]

As I suspected NZ vs zim has been rained off.

The rain gods are in our favour

 

[Genghis]

Revised target for SA 224 off 30 overs. Currently 0/24 after 4 overs.

Still raining in the NZ V Zim game

 

[Genghis]

Also Windies in early trouble against England. 3/35 after 7 overs.

 

[Genghis]

Woakes with impressive figures of 3/13 off 5 overs. Windies struggling big time - 4/40 in 9.2 overs

 

[NZcricketfan]

53-5. To think they are only 1 ranking point behind pakistan

What a shambles Windies are becoming.

 

[Swanny]

England are a very good bowling team.

I expect them to bowl out india & pak below 180 6/10 times.

 

[vandokkum]

That would have been 15 years ago... they have been a joke in any format over 20 overs for a long time.

They will bully India just like they did in the last two odis.. but What happened to them against Australia?

 

[Thivagar]

SL vs SA Target reduced to 224 in 30 overs. SA currently 116/0 for 15 overs. Thisara Perera is getting pounding as usual . Too bad his replacement Prasad is injured :'(

Phainta happened. What else

 

[Convict]

Ireland and even the Zimboks have a good chance of knocking off the Windies

 

[dravid the wall]

sa 118 for 0 in 15 overs lol

What is with SL bowlers and injury? They are made of glass

 

[NZcricketfan]

67-6

Tredwell gets one first ball

 

[dravid the wall]

they shuld give bowling to mcgrat for breakthrough.

 

[dravid the wall]

windies giving wicket for every 10 runs

 

[Strike Rate]

i guess sri lankan match again stopped because of rain?

 

[dravid the wall]

i guess sri lankan match again stopped because of rain?

yes

 

[Thivagar]

SL bowler getting pounded as usual. Senanayake is good when the batsmen are defensive, once they start coming down, Sena is screwed. Bowled Malinga and Lakmal both who were injured not to long ago while resting Kulesekara who never gets injured

 

[Thivagar]

i guess sri lankan match again stopped because of rain?

yes

nope continuing. SA 124/2. Revised target 188 in 25 overs.

 

[dravid the wall]

target 188 in 25 overs....sa lost 1 wicket

 

[dravid the wall]

sa again chocke in rain effected game? they lost two wickets in quick

 

[Thivagar]

Herath picks up all the 3 wickets

 

[Convict]

sa again chocke in rain effected game? they lost two wickets in quick

I don't think you can choke in a meaningless warmup game which isn't even List A

 

[dravid the wall]

40 runs needed in 4 overs

 

[Genghis]

Meanwhile South Africa once again reminding us how well they ... Dont say it .... Ch .... Ch..... Ch ???? From 0/116 to 4/147.

34 needed from 19 balls.

 

[dravid the wall]

target was 60 balls 72 runs with 10 wickets in hand

 

[dravid the wall]

21 runs from 15 balls

 

[Thivagar]

What is with SL bowlers and injury? They are made of glass

Cows in SL don't have enough proteins and SL bowlers do not believe in working out their legs. They just work on their biceps. Bigget biceps = Cool and Strong

 

[Thivagar]

Philander six seals the game. Damn you rain .

 

[vandokkum]

Even while choking, SA managed to beat an international team.. some teams even without choking lose to club xis..... and some others turn into ********* from lions the moment they travel more than an hour away from home..

 

[Tec15]

No choke and they didn't even need DeVilliers to bat.

 

[dravid the wall]

well done sa

 

[Thivagar]

Scored 279 in 44 overs without Mahela but SL bowlers

 

[Genghis]

Almost choked... Still good preparation for SA. Still think their bowling is a bit of a weakness.

 

[Robert]

Come on Engerlund, put these wide boys away, hard.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

NZ 157/7. Zimbabwe showing Pakistan how to bowl to these guys.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Chris woakes bowled well again for england in ODIs, could be a bowler to surprise a few teams in these conditions.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

England seamers will eat us for breakfast, I fear another 58. But hopefully Mullah will save us, like he did today.

 

[Robert]

Chris woakes bowled well again for england in ODIs, could be a bowler to surprise a few teams in these conditions.

Crucially, his figures against Australia in Australia are his best overall - average 28, s/r 26 I think. He likes taking the new ball and I think he should do so with Anderson.
