New Zealand 96/5 (11.2/20 ov)

 

[zulfiqar]

New Zealand require another 70 runs with 3 wickets and 18 balls remaining

Here we go! Styris all the way! haha

 

[zulfiqar]

not even afridi could save them here Although.. maybe Ricky Ponting

 

[Rob H]

I am over the moon. Ponting my ODI captian to the rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

rh - am not sure whether to count it - it aint similar to other one dayers - e.g economy rate values etc
will have to ask fessal

 

[Rob H]

WIY is this all a deliberate ploy to make me fail or come last in this competition?
Oh well i'll have to live with it
