22nd Match, Group E: England v New Zealand at Gros Islet

[King Pietersen]

Excellent bowling from Bres at the death. Fairly optimistic of us chasing this down, even without KP.

Sloppy stuff from Colly to end the innings. 149-6 after 20; 150 to win then.

Do-able I would say but we need to make good use of the powerplay and others need to show we aren't a one man side.....

England's slower ball bowling was very impressive. It saved them heaps of runs IMO.

Pakistan got 1 less run batting first last game and they won so it's defendable for sure. I think we have enough but an extra 10 woulda been nice. Runs on the board, lets hope England don't get there.

 

[ksduded]

given that SA lost by 10 runs against Pak in an incredibly limp batting display.... and pak's bowling is superior to NZ and batting is worse than Eng. Eng should be able to make this....

 

[King Pietersen]

Handy start from Kieswetter. Looks confident after the 42 in the last game. Loving this opening partnership, has to be said. We've been magnificent in the powerplays in this tournament.

Jinxed?

Come on Blowpara, all that domestic cricket in NZ must have paid off some how

 

[King Pietersen]

Ravi to plod around for 5 overs before smacking one to deep midwicket.

 

[treva]

Is it just me or did Lumb get a glove on that?

 

[ksduded]

that dismissal was soft as a bunny

 

[angryangy]

The medium pace is certainly effective today.

 

[SaiSrini]

So far, excellent game to decide the semifinalists from this group. England still in with a chance, though NZ now hold the upper hand. I dont mind whoever wins. Though I think NZ will sneak through in the end.

 

[pcfan123]

Collys form has been worrying. Bopara fails and the sky is blue

 

[King Pietersen]

Collingwood has a dire T20i record. Only keeps his place 'cause of his fielding and bowling tbh. Trott's a far better player.

1 handed six from Morgan. WAG.

 

[SaiSrini]

England coming back superbly here. SIX and FOUR from Wright. Pakistani fans must be cheering wildly. 7.62 RR looks very much possible and easy with these two.
