SA Footy

The 1st of 2 matches here. I would go but got stuff on.

New Zealand won the toss and batted and all out for 210 and at the moment 1/22

NZ 9/210
They were 6/60 odd
THE MAGNIFICNT MIDDLE AND LATE ORDER SAVED THEM AGAIN
The worlds best bowling allrounder Mr Freddy FLINTOFF 10 overs 4/21.

If only the top order played shots and put pressure on the opposition bowlers.
ASTLE finished ? how long can they carry him.
FLEMING waiting waiting waiting......
MARSHALL when plays ?????
NZ are always 20 overs 4/60 until the recovery
Why not be 4/60 off 12 overs and be better off.

EG 3/75 off about 25 overs[slow zzzzzz top order as well] play shots !!!!!!!!!!!

EG favourites, just.

EG 5/92 Freddy OUT 29 0vers
NZ captain FLEMING is performing again, what a captain.
The EG tail is not as good as NZ tail
NZ favourites now

TAB odds

EG $4-75
NZ $1-16

England in trouble 8/108

I reckon with FLEMINGs captaincy and 8/108 that NZ can win......

England all out for120 New Zealand wins by 90 runs

crowd 12,319 the highes crowd for an non-Austrailan game at Adelaide Oval since 1984

Bond to Lewis, OUT, it's all over! A thick outside edge flies to first slip and that's taken, jugglingly if that's a word, by Fleming who's done very well in the slips tonight, backing up the rest of his fielders. Bond will be on a hat-trick next match


NZ win but on a hattrick next game?????

I think the Redbacks should challenge England to a game while they are in Adelaide.

I think it has to be the same game for a hat trick.

I think the Redbacks should challenge England to a game while they are in Adelaide.

that would be a 20/20 game

Fabulous fantastic Fleming what a skipper, defending nothing
and gets his team up.
The English tail is pathetic again.
As I said NZ is superior to EG and will improve even more.

NZ+EG top orders need to be more aggresive in future
The NZ late order can save them
The EG late order is useless.

NZ +EG top orders should imagine its a 20/20 game

england's one day side is worse then the test side

the have one hitter that's Flintoff and he is a bowler that an bat and comes in at #6

they lack penetration and depth in the bowl department

only average in the field

i went today & while it didn't reach any great heights it was an absorbing duel well until the 5th pom got out, there is no doubt 5 out is almost all out, only 3 poms got to double figures & one of those got 10, since their tactics on the last day of the test here they have been mentally shot, even with their win the other day they almost blue it, they will not improve until they try & win a game first rather than trying to nullafy, dutchy backed them the other day & good luck to him but after what we saw today, you would not back them with monopoly money.

lets hope the aussies bat first on friday or the game could be allover before 7pm

fielding i saw an england player fielding on the boundary square of the wicket oram hit it high towards him & the fielder EASED & waited for the bounce where as later in the night the enzedders ATTACKED THE BALL that is the difference

saw one (and possibly two) of the BEST catches I have ever seen tonight....

Didn't see last night's game, but I am betting it was Lewis. I've seen him do that a few times already. This England team is getting worse as the summer goes on. How on earth did we ever allow them to win the Ashes in 2005?

Simple, we were complacent and underestimated them......

Oops sorry AH I've just had my rhetorical question detector pop up appear on my computer...

We did, before the tests. Ended up a draw.
