*Official* Double Match Day - NZ v Sri Lanka (27th Sept)

[Athlai]

Haha - Scaly of all 'people' thought it was a possibility though..

Was the moment that I knew we were in a good position TBH.

Wait....does not compute. You sir, are lying.

proving he knows his cricket, he was right when he said it could have been 220 all out or 300+ at that stage

It actually is true, as hard to believe as it may sound.

[thierry henry]

haha wow, pretty amazed at how well that worked out.

[straw man]

Am a bit sick tbf, need all the sleep I can get.

Which is why I'm still up at 20 to 1 and have to get up early for work tomorrow

Hope that goes well for you - coffee and paracetamol to save the day.

[Zinzan]

haha wow, pretty amazed at how well that worked out.

Indeed, this ...Current partnership 31 runs, 2.0 overs, RR: 15.50 (Franklin 11, Mills 18) ....was a real bonus

[James]

Expect him to make a scratchy 30 against England though and be retained.

I'd say McGlashan in for Hopkins (squad wise) and Styris in for Broom and we've got the squad absolutely spot on.

Edit - hang on. Oram in for Diamanti as well actually.

Franklin seemingly could keep Oram out of the starting eleven when he's fit again too.

Will be interesting to see how Broom goes in the Champions League which starts 5 days after the Champions Trophy.

I should really be working on a presentation I have to do tomorrow (well, today now...). But it's just a summary of my essay, so a haphazard copy/paste job and some improvisation should do the trick.

[thierry henry]

Sanga's blooper gave us 100 runs imo

[Athlai]

Ryder is gone burger.

missed it, what happened?

[kingkallis]

Ryder is out of the competition! He has pulled his left abductor muscle. If NZ progress to the semis then they will call up a replacement,otherwise obviously they will not.

[Blakey]

New Zealand-making the impossible possible.

Sadly, we include failing in that too. But not today.

The first few pages of this thread are quite funny actualy.

Hoping we don't get on the receiving end of an SL top four special.

Cricinfo is such a bore to read. Most of the innings they were talking about the BC's bottling it and being the masters of the mid-order collapse and who would win between England and the BC's when it came these things.

They are such wankers on that site.

Will we fly out a replacement? Who? Redmond?
