Man all black and Italy is a waste of time.
Samhache this is the best advice i can give you in your life, choose cricket instead of Rugby.

No Samhache, I'm just asking you if you're a bigger cricket or ruby fan. There's not wrong with watching Rugby, i'm just curious. All of those talks with me telling you forget about the rugby is just jokes. Everyone has their own likes.

Aw, ok but I think I get the answer.
Anyways, Kenya didn't do to bad against the Windies in a warm up match. They posted a goodish total of 150 odd but couldn't defend it.

NZ are bringing three spinners! Vettori, Patel and Nathan McCullum (brendons brother). All three are offies, strange decision that.

Umm yeah i would. he has more experience and has proved to the cricketing world that he is indeed a world class spinner. Panesar ain't far behind though. Vettori is the best in the world at controlling the flight of the ball.

He has good variation within flight, yes. Though I'd argue Murali has even greater control than Vettori.

Vettori is a long way ahead of panesar, as for murali, try throwing a ball down at the stumps, then bowl it properly, you will see which easier to control.

We all know your views on Murali 143.no, so there's no need to preach everytime is name his brought into conversation. His action is accepted by world cricket in the most part so leave it at that.

Close game between Australia and New Zealand in the warm-ups today. McMillan batted superbly but as per usual with the New Zealand outfit they fail to capitalise on any advantage whatsoever.

Kenya beat a poor Bangladeshi outfit yesterday. Solid performance from
the Kenyan attack , but woeful batting by the Asians. Nice boost
for the Kenyans - maybe they'll make NZ and SL work a little for
victory.

The soundbites coming from the players seem guarded. There's
aren't any fanciful predictions , they all seem to agree that this
event is wide open.

At 17/4 after 5.3 overs, Kenya seems to be in all sorts of trouble. This should be a simple task for the Kiwis.

Remarkably , the top four Kenyan batsmen got ducks !! That
reminds me of the famous test match in the 50's when England had India
0-4 with Fred Trueman going ballistic.
Gillespie and Bond (surprise there - not!) have two apiece. Looks like a seamers paradise in Durban fellas ! |

Ball was swinging late, kenyans seemed to be very slow on it too, I thought their skipper should have gotten a 1st baller to.

Yep , swing is always a factor in Durban 143. Locals swear that it depends on the tide !

Poor Odoyo was just getting settled in. 18 off 26 is by no means a brilliant T20 score, but it's the best that Kenya have had today. It's all up to Obuya now.

Kenya's 73 all out sets NZ up to chase the lowest total set in T20 cricket thus far. At a rate of just over 3.5 runs per over, this should be a cruise for the kiwis.

What d'you reckon Clobs are NZ struggling without their talisman of a skipper ? Big ask 74 against that attack huh.

About as sound as a thrashing gets. But it wouldn't surprise me if we see a lower total in this series.
Is there a record for most records set/broken in a series?  |

I was surprised at that too actually. Personally I think 3 is a little high for Oram, even in this form of the game. Looks as if Vincent and McCullum are going to hit out anyway which will give Oram an opporuntity to bat with at least 10 overs left. We bowled well! Begs the question why we left the gifted Chris Martin out of the world cup squad! Good effort boys!
