Manwell Pablo Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 New Zealand currently 138/4 off of 28.1 overs. Styris looks well set. We may well suffer a 5 wicket defeat in the first game of the World Cup to a side who lost to Bangladesh not that long ago. taint over yet, couple of quick wickets and we're back in with a shout. we're in deep shit though.
JoeyB Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 my head says New Zealand for the win due to sweep steak but my heart says c'mon england
lcfc_jme Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 and just beat Australia 3-0 you fool!!!!!!!!!! Not the point. We've beaten Australia 3 times in our last 4 meetings as well . taint over yet, couple of quick wickets and we're back in with a shout. we're in deep shit though. Couple of quick wickets? Coming from where? The bowling is looking toothless and the batsmen look well set.
Milky Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 Not the point. We've beaten Australia 3 times in our last 4 meetings as well . That comment you just made indicates that you think NZ aren't a very good team, therefore you clearly know nothing about cricket.
lcfc_jme Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 That comment you just made indicates that you think NZ aren't a very good team, therefore you clearly know nothing about cricket. I don't claim to be the fountain of all knowledge when it comes to cricket, but I know a fair bit. New Zealand aren't that great a one-day side, and have been better at times in the past. They're more consistent than what we are, but there are at least 4 other teams in this tournament I'd say were better than them.
Brainy Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 I never really thought NZ were a good team. I watched a bit of them in the triangular series and recognised some of their players. (Fleming, Oram) I was proved wrong.

lcfc_jme Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 Pietersen has just dropped Styris. Is that the nail in the coffin for England in this game? Gut-feeling says yes. Each person has the right to their own opinion, and I exercise the right to have mine. There's no question NZ have ability at one-day level, but I don't think they're a great one-day side. Maybe I don't watch enough cricket. But this is my opinion.

lcfc_jme Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 :laugh: I am being proven wrong all over the shop in this thread ! Still, the chance came and went, and now it'll be a struggle for England to save this game. (please prove me wrong again!!!)
Milky Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 on a lighter note, now i know i'm not one to talk about looks, but is scott styris the ugliest player in the world cup?

lcfc_jme Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 Defeat. In the opening game. I know we're notoriously slow starters, but that was a toothless performance for the most part. It'd have been a lot easier for NZ if Nixon and Plunket hadn't rescued the game with the bat.
lildave3 Posted 16 March 2007 Posted 16 March 2007 Didn't watch the game, or even follow it. All i know is that we lost, and i am disappointed with that. But even though they didn't win, i shall still cheer on the best team in the world. Come on Zimbabwe

It'd have been a lot easier for NZ if Nixon and Plunket hadn't rescued the game with the bat. Im now worried about losing to Kenya.
