Key spell her from Vettori, and great start to it.
If NZ can dry up the boundaries here for a couple of overs then we could have a ripper of a game. If not, I think England will coast with Bell playing so well.
EDIT: But Bell hits Hitchcock for 4. Nice 50 for Bell.

This is the perfect game for Bell. Chasing a decent but moderate score allows him to play his own game at his own pace in conducting the chase.
Doesnt have to show any ability in changing gears or making his own decisions as to how quickly the scoring needs to be done (as the total is set).
This is the one role that Bell can do well in ODIs. Bat long in moderate chases.

I know for a while you & TEC have always mentioned Afzaal's name when talking about England's ODI side. Have seen him bat a few times for his county for Sky over the years & honestly never noticed much. So my question simply is why do you reckon he would or could have have made a really good ODI bat for England?
Read in a way yea, but overall Pothas would be the answer in both forms of the game hands down. Don't see England are running from selecting him.

Yip. I don't know how he can make the team ahead of others. He was crap when given a chance a 5 or so years back, and he is still crap.

Yes there was. Do I care? Not at all. One or two more wickets and we might see the required run-rate rise dramatically.

The two key Lbw decisions have gone our way tonight. Oram's not out (Plumb) and Bell out despite the inside edge. Personally, I thought the Bell call was a toughie. A very thin inside edge.
In other news, Baxter's having a decent game. Though I did call that as Thigh Pad on first look.
Pietersen Gone. That looked well out.

My good GOD! The commentators have just suggested a recall for James Marshall to replace Fulton. I can only hope Bracewell isn't listening as I can guarantee he'd be thinking, "Excellent. Everyone's forgotten how **** my ******* *** is. I'll be allowed to recall him now!"

Haha. Leave fulton alone and get Hay in for Taylor and put McCullum down the order.
