Well NZ have capitulated again.
61/5 and this game looks dead & buried.
McMillan is just so horribly out of form that its beginning to become laughable. Astle has totally lost the plot in the last 2 matches, a very careless shot. Styris tried hard but got a good ball from Nehra, and McCullum...well erm McCullum just played all over a straight one. Fleming did his best but in the end fell to just pure frustration at the sight of others falling around him.
If NZ pull this off then their chances of winning the World Cup will bounce back because it will take a miracle from here.
Im afraid anything less than 250 on this pitch will never be enough and unless Bond takes 8 wickets for 25 runs or something like that, NZ won't have a chance.
And if they do lose, well i hope Sri Lanka do some justice & beat Zimbabwe because it would just be embarassing to see NZ line up against Australia next week & repeat the comedy of errors they've made in the last couple of days.
