Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 End of New Zealand's innings - 318 for 7 So then, after how many runs will our collapse start this time? I'll go for 110. We'll be something like 110 for 1 then end up at 135 all out. Another successful HDI! This over-by-over live text is quite funny http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6309209.stm Quote: 50th over: NZ 318-7 Sweet Jehovah Brown - Oram mashes into Flintoff, carting him for a straight six, a lofted two, a four over cover and another steepling two. That's his 50 - off just 32 balls. 38 runs off the last two overs. Honestly. Still, let's look on the bright side - the torture is now over for at least half an hour. I'm going to the BBC canteen for a slice of their infamous porridge - after what I've just witnessed, even that tepid stodgefest will come as blessed relief.
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 75-1 after 15 overs. NZ were 84-2 at the same stage. We're not doing too bad C'mon England
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 75-1 after 15 overs. NZ were 84-2 at the same stage. We're not doing too bad C'mon England Wait for it...
Geo V Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Lame ending for Bell but dare I say it, we have a chance. Im glad AT LEAST we have dropped Strauss down the order as that seems to have given us better momentum at the top of the innings. Strauss owes us, lets hope he can deliver along with Fred.
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 99-2...waits nervously for next wicket
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 Hello Lord Nibblington and Apexgeo - I thought I was all alone!
Geo V Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Hello Lord Nibblington and Apexgeo - I thought I was all alone! Only one of you singing mate?? Nah, this isnt the New Filbo!! Its not quite happening out there but Im also waiting for the collapse . Lets be positive and think good thoughts. Where the fook is Uri Geller when you need him??
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 Uri Geller?? He's recovering from a hangover - apparently he went out on a bender last night!
Geo V Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Uri Geller?? He's recovering from a hangover - apparently he went out on a bender last night! Nearly another wicket. Thank god for no balls!
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 Nearly another wicket. Thank god for no balls! That was lucky.
Milky Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 That's superb bowling and keeping from NZ saw him coming down the wicket, so fired it down really fast through his legs and the keeper stumps him
Geo V Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 That was lucky. Oh Dear, we spoke too soon. Right, off to the gym where I can watch it down there. What odds we are 5 down by the time I get there?? (Its a 5 minute drive)
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 Oh Dear, we spoke too soon. Right, off to the gym where I can watch it down there. What odds we are 5 down by the time I get there?? (Its a 5 minute drive) It'll be all over by then - why do you think I called it an HDI in the topic title? (Half Day International 'cos that's as long as our games last!) Have fun at the gym - do you wear a leotard??
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 123-3. Here we go... I'm still postive. We will get to 130 before we're all out, I tells ya!
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 I'm still postive. We will get to 130 before we're all out, I tells ya! We've made it to 132 now!!
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 6 wickets left and 179 needed off 132 balls. Mmmmm...can we do it? 8.14 runs per over required. 8/1 England to win, 1/25 NZ (Ladbrokes).
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Come on England! You get to 200! Come on!
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Come on England, you get to 160! Come on!

Wycombe Fox Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 I only went to get a bowl of cereal and another bloody wicket falls Just saw the England wickets falling on Sky - LAME!!!
