CWC Day 28 Thead - Super 8's. Ireland V New Zealand

Mothman

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first

Quiet here today on this holiday monday.

Big day, NZ quite clinical so far.

Will be difficult to get amongst them

Gillespie and K O'Brien in for Mooney and Botha(injured)

county

can`t see anything other that a NZ win

Mothman

Great first over from Langford-Smith a maiden

cgf

Yup - might be a bit of leather chasing today.

Kiwis have their two spinners on board - obviously seen what Vaughan achieved against us.

PP has Kiwis at 33-1 on. Ireland 9-1.

Kiwi par score on PP in the region of 295

Mothman

6/0 2 overs

3 wides in Boyd's first over. A poor start

county

10-0 3rd over

dulpit

Not a cricket fan (but still want Ireland to do well and all...) but have a quick question - is it a bit odd to bat first if you win the toss? I thought that in general the team who wins the toss fields first so they know what to chase...


Also, just noticed that Ireland are 2000/1 to win the world cup outright on some sites... Worth a euro?:D

county

30-0 of 5 overs

bowling needs to improve from ireland

county

wicket

35-1

cgf

Wicket - Fleming gone, flashing one to point.

county

rain stops play

dragonkin

I'm assuming this is good news for us as we seem to have done pretty well so far, keeping them at bay and if they miss out on the last ten overs when caution is thrown to the wind we should have a lower score to aim for under D-L correct me if I'm wrong.

county

wicket

172-5(38.1)

and rain stops play again

KevIRL

Wicket!

Fulton gone

172-5

Rain delay

wicket

Vettori gone

188-7

cgf

Smashing another - Vettori -5 189-7

county

bloody hell,what a game

189-7

KevIRL

If we can keep the Kiwis to 220/230 we might have a chance here

cgf

Yeah - we need to keep our heads for the final few overs.

Johnston is captaining extremely well today - the key will be McCullum - we get him soon it's definitely game on.

PP has Kiwis into 6-1 on. Ireland 7-2. Par Kiwi score at 235

KevIRL

Pity we are issing Botha

cgf

Yeah, his lack of out & out pace is what is required on these Carib tracks

KevIRL

218-7 (47ovs)

KevIRL

Chucky the tree

How well do you know him?

Quality isn't great though.

KevIRL

263-8 (50ovs)


Last few overs have probably sealed the win for New Zealand

cgf

Poor finish there - pity. We had performed fairly well upto the 41st over, pulling it back from a big score.

Hopefully we'll get off to a flyer - Bray is due a few joes.
