New Zealand vs England | 2nd ODI | Napier | 20/2/2013

[Khabri420]

NZ won the 1st ODI at Hamilton

Just as I create this thread, Williamson departs for 33 after a good partnership with Taylor (currently on 38).

NZ 91/3 after 25.4 Overs

 

[Space Cat]

Suposed to be a belter of a batting pitch but NZ batsman struggling to time their shots so might be a bit two paced.

England bowled so tightly in the first 12 overs though.

 

[Justcrazy]

144 / 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms have bowled well here.

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ need a couple of big overs here.

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

Macculum is turning on.

21 runs over

 

[Justcrazy]

204 / 4 after 42

260 possible here.

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

Macculum hits his 6th six

 

[Justcrazy]

Maccullum 50 of 26 balls

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum loves playing England. Blitzing them here.

Brainless bowling by England trying to bounce him.

 

[Bilal7]

Swann received a beating here, not performing up to his standards. Broad has been outright pathetic.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

McCullum at his best here

 

[Justcrazy]

20 of the over !!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

231 / 4 after 44 overs.

If these two bat another 3 overs. 280 possible.

 

[Justcrazy]

[kungfu90]

Broad slaughtered.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

243 / 5 after 45

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[vandokkum]

There are few better sights in cricket than seeing Broad getting smashed and reduced to tears

 

[Justcrazy]

267 / 8

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms have come back well here.

 

[James]

Swann looks rusty and well Broad is just pants.

McCullum once again the difference in an England-New Zealand innings. We have never known how to bowl to him.

Great stuff from Anderson and Finn though, has given us an outside chance of chasing the runs.

60-40 NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

270 is target

 

[James]

Could have been 320 the way that was going so we came back well in the end.

5-34 for Anderson which in these or any circumstances is just excellent.

270 is competitive but might be gettable. Worth getting up for.

 

[vandokkum]

Swann looks rusty and well Broad is just pants.

McCullum once again the difference in an England-New Zealand innings. We have never known how to bowl to him.

Great stuff from Anderson and Finn though, has given us an outside chance of chasing the runs.

60-40 NZ.

Please remove Broad from the team, I don't like his face. Not to mention, his bowling is just crap

 

[James]

Last couple of seasons he has seemingly been on a mission to get himself dropped from all formats. Useless.

 

[vandokkum]

Last couple of seasons he has seemingly been on a mission to get himself dropped from all formats. Useless.

Why is he the t20 captain? I think he is odi vice captain as well

 

[James]

Test VC as well. Who even Flower had to drop in India because he got that crap.

England

 

[vandokkum]

Test VC as well. Who even Flower had to drop in India because he got that crap.

England

) He should not be anywhere near the test team

 

[James]

Well hopefully he is on the way out in general.

 

[James]

run rate has picked up for us now. Good stuff. Hopefully will be another exciting finish.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

.... Bell gone... Williamon gets the first break through

 

[James]

Bell in throws it away shock.

We are in a good position at the moment though. 175 to get off 28 overs.

 

[Saeth]

Which channel is showing this series in pakistan?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Cook and trott dealing with the singles..

 

[MarkCooper]

Bell's End

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Thats 50 for cook....

 

[James]

You know things are bad when...Kane Williamson looks like your best bowler?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

cook

 

[James]

KP was right about Nick Knight. Very mediocre commentary.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Boult brought bck to attack

 

[GreenKnightRises]

NZ desperately need a wicket..

 

[GreenKnightRises]

cook..

 

[GreenKnightRises]

cook... Southee gets his first..!!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Joe root is the new man in..

 

[James]

Good wicket for NZ but Cook has done his shift.

120 off 107 balls, honestly if we don't get this with 8 wickets left then it is our fault.

 

[SL_Fan]

117 required off 102 now. Even though Eng are only 2 down, with Cook gone I think the game is still up for grabs.

 

[James]

I'm so proud of Joe Root. A young Yorkshire lad who has just looked like an England player ever since he was introduced.

 

[James]

Great shots from Root.

By the way Beefy has just provided us with a 'world record'...Joe is the first player ever to score 30 or more in his first 6 ODIs

 

[GreenKnightRises]

root..

 

[kungfu90]

Joe Root showing signs that he can be something special.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 59 runs with 8 wickets and 53 balls remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[GreenKnightRises]

from root.. That was a good shot..

 

[Justcrazy]

Root will replace Trott in near future.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 50 runs with 8 wickets and 48 balls remaining

Match in Poms pocket now.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

 

[James]

Root on 53* (39)

Great innings from this lad. He has been Vaughan's protege for some years. You can tell by his stance and strokeplay.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4 Root motoring along

 

[GreenKnightRises]

And that brings up 50 for Rot from 38 balls.. well plyed.

 

[James]

Root will replace Trott in near future.

Trott averages 50 in Test and ODI, who could replace him? We can have both.

 

[James]

Trott reaches his 50 from 63 balls. Quality anchor innings as usual.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

50 for Trott..

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[GreenKnightRises]

of firt ball

 

[Justcrazy]

Trott averages 50 in Test and ODI, who could replace him? We can have both.

I was talking about ODI. I think Root is better than Trot.

 

[Justcrazy]

Root has all the shots in the book.

 

[Aman]

Decider should be interesting

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Eng need 28 from 30

 

[Justcrazy]

252 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 14 runs with 8 wickets and 24 balls remaining
