Champions Trophy, Group 'A', June 1-10

[Arthur Crabtree]

That's a shame. Only three off the over too.

How did Wade miss the stumps?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rain. Cricinfo says it should pass soon.

Seems to be taking its time...

Annoying. Bright start by NZ , despite the big wicket of Guptill . Now we're going to end up with one of these Duckworth Lewis things I suppose ? How's the forecast for later ?

[rich1uk]

disappointing, i had checked the forecasts on wednesday for the first couple of games and there was no mention of rain being around

[rich1uk]

play re-starting in 10 minutes

still going to be a 46 over match so no real mucking about with D/L

[GarlicJam]

Kiwis generally get off to great starts against Aus. Certainly no exception here.

Hopefully it won't continue.

[alfie]

Good to see not too many overs lost ...though my fear is it might be one of those days where they have more than one rin break : hopefully not.

Ronchi enjoying himself. Cummins less so

But I've jinxed him now and Hastings strikes...

[GarlicJam]

Still, great job done for his team by the West Australian.

He ha given NZ a good platform, to use the venacular (hopefully I get that in before the commentator does).

[alfie]

Head as the fifth bowler has started off well.

But they had better either remove the stump mike or give Wade some new lines ...OK , we get that he "loikes it"

[GarlicJam]

Nice Garry.




(Garry Head was a famous Aussie Rules player)

16 overs left, NZ could get 300+ even with the match being reduced by 4 overs but probably need to hit the accelerator soon

[GarlicJam]

I reckon 320 is on the/their cards. Aus will do well to keep them below 300.

But, I am off to bed. Go Aus!

Good for NZ that Taylor is out.
