***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

[Tricia McMillan]

I'm not sure how far we are short, but we're short.

England could draw the chase out and make the result look closer than it actually is, but I reckon the top three or four can chase this down and they'll win by eight or nine wickets with a couple overs to spare.

I can't be the only one that thought Guptill's innings was ****ing terrible? The commentators are ****ing blind.

Finn is such a gun bowler.

At least there's some sane people here. The commentators saying "take Guptill's score out and what have you got?" is one of the most illogical things I've ever heard. It's basically assuming the batsmen that came in after him wouldn't have changed their approach if Guptill had actually played a proper T20 innings. Guys like Taylor could have used a few deliveries to get themselves in, but they needed runs as soon as they got to the crease.

Interesting theory.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I guess I can understand how people intially thought Mitch was 145+ without a speed gun to verify, he really looks like it.

 

[BeeGee]

This Taylor bloke can't bat or catch.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hales really needed that boundary to stop Butler getting on top of him. Skittish stuff so far.

[wellAlbidarned]

Guptill would've nudged that second one for a single no doubt

 

[BeeGee]

oh dear oh dear.

Ridiculous.

 

[Daemon]

mccullum wtf??

 

[Days of Grace]

You can tell this is one of those games when absolutely nothing will go right.

 

[Howe_zat]

What a drop that is. Called for it from about a mile away

 

[Days of Grace]

Brilliant analogy of McCullum's taking over of the team there.

Looked as if he didn't trust Taylor to take a fairly simple chance - ITSTL.
