I am sorry Howsie, you just proved me wrong.

Mate I'm never wrong

Redmond got his fifty from 23 balls. Welcome to England.

He is just simple things: hit fours. There is no need to go aerial and get cheaply caught, like some batsmen do.

The way he is going he could score the first century of this tournament. He already scored 63 runs after the first 9 overs.

He has been in England playing League Cricket so actually he has been here for a while.

 

[Howsie]

Out for 63, good knock though. And does anyone think McCullum should try and go leg side more. He seems to want to go off-side all the time.

 

[nz0003]

Styris batted real well, and Guptill isnt doing to bad either.

Oram time to step up!

Best innings Oram has played in a long time, even though it was only 15

 

[King Pietersen]

FFS Hussain. It's JohnsTon not Johnson.

NZ will win. All thanks to Guppers.

Edit: Talking of Guppers. What a shot

 

[nz0003]

That was a mammoth from Guptill.

 

[King Pietersen]

Another 6 to Guptill. He's so good you'd think he was English!

 

[nz0003]

198, I'll take that!

He would of done terrible against this associate team if he was English.

I'm not very happy we didn't make 200 after the start we got. Not really good enough. Didn't help that we were denied 2 byes when that referal was BS!

Redmond was excellent. Unlucky to get out too, Ashocka didn't help him out there but anyway.

Batting was very good for the most, McCullum looked bad though and McGlashan and Franklin finished average (Though Ireland did bowl well at the death)

198 is beyond Ireland's reach. Let's hope we can thrash them to help the NRR. And if they do make it....well....send us home immediately.

 

[nz0003]

Send them to my house first, so I can give em a hiding.

 

[King Cricket]

What an innings by Redmond! A real treat to watch. Ireland stands no chance here. And is Guptill's nickname really "Guppers" ()!!!! What a name. :

 

[Howsie]

I can already hear the calls for Redmond to be recalled to the New Zealand test team after that innings

I thought we did alright, Redmond played well. McCullum and Oram still look way out of nick though. Guptill batted pretty well too, can't believe he only faced 32 balls. But what did I tell you, the sound coming off his bat sounds so good.

No, that's just some name King Pieterson made up. Pretty gay one too

I think his real nickname is "Two toe Guptill" or something like that.

 

[nz0003]

Oram looked in alright form, everything was coming out of the middle.

Redmond should be back in the test squad to open with Guptill IMO, should of never been dropped.

 

[King Pietersen]

*PietersEn You're almost as bad as Hussain.
