Group B - Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

[_Ed_]

Did Rameez just address Mr Coney as "germy?"

 

[Pratters]

Why? He's got 3 and he always speeds up the longer his innings go.

The pitch, the overs remaining.

 

[Dravid]

Fleming you gun, great shot to bring up your 50. May god bless you with another 50 runs in this inning.

 

[nightprowler10]

Methinks Younis may have used Razzaq for one too many overs.

 

[nightprowler10]

Good Lord, not Naved.

The pitch, the overs remaining.

I don't think the pitch is too bad. No excuses if NZ fail to get to 250.

 

[Pratters]

I don't think the pitch is that bad.

Yeah it is not a mine field and a lot of the bowling effectiveness has to do with the swing the bowlers have been able to extract. However, given that the whole New Zealand team has just made 120 runs in 30 overs, Styris is at 28 and 72 is needed from him, it seems almost impossible to me.

 

[Dravid]

It's pretty obvious in a few overs they will start to slog.

 

[nightprowler10]

Need a wicket here, preferrably of Fleming.

Fair enough.

Rana Naved just bowled a slower ball, and the speed on screen was 161.5kph/100.5mph. I'd hate to face his quicker ball.

 

[Mahindinho]

On last nights performance, SL do not deserve to go through !!

True

Still, just 'cos it's true isn't going to stop me sulking for the rest of the week.

*sulk*

The Champions' Trophy is a rubbish tournament anyway

 

[nightprowler10]

Cricinfo are predicting 250. That'd be interesting to watch from here. And by interesting I mean totally gutting.

 

[Dravid]

Kiwi's picking up the pace, Styris almost at 50.

 

[nightprowler10]

Forget Malik, bring on Hafeez.

 

[Dravid]

Caught and bowled, Fleming is gone. Great inning from the captain. 168-4. BTW Nightprowler...shouldnt you be in school?

 

[MoxPearl]

crap flembo out

 

[_Ed_]

Really want Styris to stay there until the end now.

 

[Pratters]

Styris remaining till at least near the end if not the end is vital for them to get 250 but I think 240 can also be a total bowlers have some thing to bowl with.

 

[Steulen]

Biggest target of the Trophy. But then, this is probably the best batting track so far.

Er...no. I've been out of high school for a while. I go to a local college at the moment.
