Newzealand are 5 down now, i thought they were going to score 300
but now it's impossible i think
Not impossible, depends on who bowls really. Getting just over 100 in the last 15 overs is nothing particularly with a batting powerplay. The range of scores is very big from here. NZ could get bundled out for 220 or get 310-6.

I'm still disgusted by the collapse, but this partnership isn't the worst - 33 at a run a ball.

no when i posted it was 161-5 that's why i said, but now it is looking good for newzealand
if newzealand beat Srilanks, then Eng & Newzealand have a chance of reaching semi's

Too right, really depends on how the next two partnerships go, if they can last till the 48th or so over then we could still think about passing 300.

Thanks to Ryder, New Zealand are still in a very, very strong position here.
Not as strong as you are suggesting, considering who is still to come in both batting and the bowling departments.

I really want keeper cam - that would way of viewing the lines a bowler if bowling.

The more I see Guptill, the more I am assured that he is an international class batsman.

Damn, but well done to Vettori. And Guptill for reining himself in.

Given what happened last time we were 6 down I'm not going to relax until we get 250 at least. Yes Franklin is a lot better than Hopkins but it can't be easy flying halfway across the world to fill in.
