Doing well to contain them atm.

IMHO, it was right to put big Vern in for this game. Something about McCullum vs Abbott scares the living daylights out of me.

I think that was really unfair on Abbot given how he has bowled. Time will tell.

 

[Wall]

need the run rate to go closer to 8.

 

[Kilgore_Trout_Redux]

Need to be more attacking. These two are looking like they won't get themselves out.

push the run rate to 8 and force the risks

7.25 at the moment.

No worries. Double-wicket maiden coming up.

 

[Unhappy1]

To be honest NZ really shouldn't be losing this from here, they should be able to bat normally and get it.

Yes and no. Abbott has bowled well up front but has been a bit expensive when the slog is on.

Agreed, they are playing themselves in. We need to break this partnership. McCullum really made this game difficult for us.

He means required rate. It's only 6.63 at the moment.

yep, we need wickets. wickets come from tight overs.

 

[Mike7]

He was bowling so well then he starts bowling short

 

[Creag]

Going to need wickets soon

 

[thestaggy]

This is worrying. Too easy.

Cricketers aren't always the smartest chaps. Happened many times that batsmen get themselves out in easy circumstances.

With this short boundary 8 an over with settled batsmen is peanuts.

 

[Drifter]

Get Vern the fahrk off!!!!

 

[Wall]

duminy needs to bowl as well

Im not saying its impossible, just that its probably 80/20 in favor of NZ.

We need something spectacular now! A run out? A great catch? Something... Piece of brilliance from someone?
