Super 8: 13th Match NZ v Ireland

[Howsie]

I thought Vettori was out for this game?

 

[irottev]

I really have no idea haha. Such a shambles.

 

[Howsie]

Okay, so we are batting first. McCullum seems to think 160 will be a good score, can't say I would agree with that tbh.

 

[nz0003]

Vettori's still not playing, neither is Ryder.

Team:

1. McCullum
2. Redmond
3. Guptill
4. Broom
5. Styris
6. Oram
7. McGlashen
8. Franklin
9. Nath McCullum
10. Butler
11. Mills

Alright I guess.

 

[Howsie]

Redmond to have a higher Strike-Rate then McCullum, can't wait to see him in full flight. So does this mean Ryder is gone for the World Cup, I guess it does.

Ryder is out for the tournament

No big loss tbh, Redmond will make up for Ryder

 

[nz0003]

:

No he wont!

I reckon the Irish have a chance tbh.

 

[Howsie]

Redmond will score the most runs in the Super 8 phase, best 20/20 batsmen in the world

 

[nz0003]

Haha Howsie is going off chops, tweaking Vettori and Taylor need to be back for the Pakistan match.

 

[irottev]

Good XI I approve. I didn't know Redmond was already over when he got selected. I presumed he'd still be on his way over now haha. Glad he's there.

 

[nz0003]

REDMOND!!

Beautiful cover drive.

nz0003 added 2 Minutes and 27 Seconds later...

I am sorry Howsie, you just proved me wrong.

 

[jazz]

They Might aswell of played the New Zealand A side at this rate. I still expect New Zealand to win

 

[Ari]

Nice start Redmond looks much better when hes playing shots.

God, where's redmond been all NZ's tournament! No umm the reason he was picked slightly was because he was already in England playing some league cricket for a team over here so instead of shipping someone else out they brought him in.
