2nd ODI as it happened
New Zealand were denied victory when the second one day international was abandoned with only six balls left to be bowled to constitute a result. The Kiwis were on course for a revised 160 from 23 overs but at 127 2 after 19 rain and gloom took the players off,[url=http://www.niketnrequin-pascher.fr/]tn requin[/url].
In a match first cut to 29 overs per side, Luke Wright smashed successive sixes and also hit five fours in 52. what cake they are going to have perhaps during the HALF HOUR tea break? So much for Law 23. common sense! For God's sake! Cricket officials get your act together. Grrr!"Harry, Worcestershire, in the TMS inbox
"This shambolic end to the game could have and should have been avoided, if the break between innings had only been 10 minutes, instead of the 30 minutes. This farce does the wonderful game of cricket no favours in any way." Mark in the TMS inbox
1929: That's that then, the most anti climactic game of cricket since, erm, last year's World Cup final. Thanks for the chat though, it was a lot of fun as usual.
NEW ZEALAND INNINGS
20th over 127 2 The umpires are having a chat is this fit for international cricket,[url=http://www.moncler-jackets@#$%&/]moncler jackets[/url]? And the players are going off! Remarkable! New Zealand would have only needed seven from that over to win it,[url=http://www.polo-ralphlauren.it/]polo ralph[/url]! NO RESULT,[url=http://www.@#$%&-rosheruns@#$%&/]custom roshe[/url]! ALL THAT FANNYING ABOUT FOR NOTHING! A HALF HOUR BREAK BETWEEN INNINGS,[url=http://www.montrepas-cher.fr/]montre diesel[/url]! WHAT A JOKE SPORT! McCullum looks like a man who has just got home from a party with the most beautiful girl in the world only to discover his mate has got his mum staying and she's sleeping in his bed.
19th over 127 2 Two for McCullum with a drive into the covers good fielding from Anderson,[url=http://www.the-north-face.co.uk/]north face jackets[/url], just dragging the ball in short of the rope to prevent a four. It is seriously grotty out there now, dark with heavy rain. McCullum punches Wright to long off for one before Wright dredges up a useful yorker for a dot ball. Styris has a lusty swing and picks up two to deep mid wicket and follows up with a very handy boundary, the batsman squeezing out a yorker down to the third man fence.
18th over 117 2 Styris clips Swann to point for one and it's now coming down in stair rods in Birmingham. McCullum punches Swann into the off side and scampers two before McCullum twirls Swann into the covers for one. Styris attempts the reverse sweep but doesn't make contact. We need to complete two more overs for a complete game,[url=http://www.nikefactoryoutletstore.us@#$%&/]@#$%& outlet store locations[/url].
17th over 113 2 Wright back onand he nearly gets one through McCullum's defences first ball. One run however. A leg bye before Wright pushes into the covers for a single. Bell makes a fine stop in the covers next ball, plucking the ball out of the air on the bounce. the umpires have a chat,[url=http://www.lunetterayban-pas-cher.fr/]rayban[/url], but decide to soldier on.
16th over 109 2
Seriously dark now at Edgbaston, it must be like batting in Ray Bans. Styris picks up one with a drive to mid on before McCullum plays a clever reverse sweep for four, beating the diving Pietersen at gully. Swann strays down leg and is clipped to square leg for one fifty from 42 balls. Two more singles from the over and we have rain CMJ on TMS says "you would only think about taking the dog for a walk in this if you were wearing a mackintosh."
15th over 101 2 Mascarenhas into the attack and his first ball is a gift, over pitched on leg stump and McCullum helps it on its way for four. McCullum and Styris exchange two singles apiece and the tourists pass 100. The Kiwis need 59 from eight overs, and you'd have to stay they're favourites.
"Not only does Scott Styris look like George C Scott but he looks like Kirk Douglas, which is quite a double."Christopher Martin Jenkins on TMS
14th over 91 2 Three singles from the first balls of Swann's over. McCullum then steals the strike with a single from the final ball of the over. You know what someone said to me the other day? "Peacocks strut because they can't fly". And immediately the image of Ian Poulter popped into my head.
13th over 87 2 McCullum whip cracks Collingwood to wide long off for one and Styris finds some timing with a back foot punch to deep cover,[url=http://www.karenmillen--dresses.co.uk/]karen millen sale[/url]. Colly tries a slower ball which Styris waits on and dabs to backward square for a single. One more for McCullum with a clip to mid wicket and the groundstaff are emerging from their dugout as the clouds move in,[url=http://www.polo-ralphlaurenoutlet.us@#$%&/]@#$%& fashion designer[/url].
12th over 81 2 Styris is the new batsman and that boy can give it some hardcore rat a tat tat. He's off the mark with a nurdled single and McCullum nicks the strike from the final ball of the over. Coldplay have just struck up outside my window! The man opposite me looks like he's chewing a ball of tin foil.
11th over WICKET Taylor c Wright b Collingwood 25,[url=http://www.nikeairmaxe.co.uk/]air max thea[/url], NZ 79 2
Very murky out there according to Aggers on TMS as McCullum guides Colly down to third man for a single. Taylor bags one with an ugly smear into the leg side and McCullum nurdles into the leg side for one. But that's a huge breakthrough for England, Taylor heaving Colly to deep mid wicket where Wright snaffles the catch. Top snaffling.
10th over 76 1 Swanny into the attack with his off spinners and he gets plenty of turn with his first delivery. Swan tosses one up and McCullum clips him through mid wicket for one and Taylor bags two with a slog sweep. Taylor then gets stuck into Swann, dropping to one knee and swatting him over deep mid wicket for four. That was bigger than jungle. And as we all know, jungle is massive.
9th over 69 1 McCullum nurdles Anderson into the leg side for one before Taylor gets a huge slice of luck, going for an ugly hoick and getting a thin deflection just past his leg stump. Four runs,[url=http://www.occhiali--oakley.it/]oakley holbrook[/url], and Taylor then plays a lovely clip off his pads to the deep mid wicket boundary. Anderson sees McCullum coming and digs one in short one run for McCullum with a fend into the on side. The partnership now 44.
8th over 58 1 Class from McCullum, coming down the track to Broad and lacing him through the covers for four. Broad drops short and is dragged round the corner for four more Mascarenhas it was with the attempted catch before McCullum nurdles a single to give Taylor a go. Taylor drives to mid off for one, McCullum steals the strike with a single and New Zealand require 102 from 15 overs. It's going to be a tight one.
7th over 47 1 There's some chaps dressed up as Where's Wally? Unsurprisingly, they look like a bunch of wallies. Collingwood gets one to seam back at McCullum and cramp him up but McCullum nurdles Colly into the leg side next ball for three. Colly drags one in short and Taylor yanks him away for four and the England skipper strays onto Taylor's stumps next ball and is flipped to the long leg boundary. New Zealand upping the rate, and it's getting pretty gloomy at Edgbaston now, as well as Trent Bridge. and probably for that matter Headingley.
6th over 36 1 Crackerjack stroke from McCullum, rocking back and pinging Wright through point for four. Looking very gloomy at Trent Bridge now as McCullum nicks a single to bring Taylor, still on nought,[url=http://www.oakleysunglasses-outletcheap@#$%&/]discount oakley sunglasses[/url], onto strike. Taylor looks to play Wright to mid wicket but gets a leading edge and the ball squirts away for a single to third man. Tip and run from McCullum, nudging Wright into the covers for one. Stand by for some stand and deliver from McCullum.
5th over 28 1 The big hitting Ross Taylor is the new man in the middle and Collingwood,[url=http://www.@#$%&-airmax.it/]@#$%& air[/url], taker of four wickets in the last game, is into the attack. McCullum picks up a cheeky two to mid wicket KP a little bit sloppy there,[url=http://www.poloralphlaurenoutletonline.us@#$%&/]@#$%& coupon[/url], he should have limited them to a single and McCullum follows up with another tuck to leg for one. Taylor flails and misses and Ambrose whips off the bails. but the man upstairs sees that the batsman was in.
"Can't say I'm impressed with the 'new look' scorecard. At least with the previous one, I could reduce it and drag it down to the right hand corner of my screen. Makes it easier to fool my supervisors that I'm actually working. Do any other TMS regulars agree?"The Crow, Milton Keynes, in the TMS inbox
