Daisy, I knew you didn't saw the match, but on a pitch where the ball was moving around a lot, 153 is mostly a winning total. Rp Singh bowled like a king yesterday especially to the right handers.
So the total may look small but the different is it has a lot to offer the bowlers.
 
OK BFM I'll take your word for it....as I said before I didn't look at the match.....

don't be too disappointed....

I hate it when bowlers do that.  I think they should be severely fined.  IMO, there is no room for that kind of behaviour in cricket.  Mouthing off, pointing to the pavillion when you get someone out.....its unacceptable.  Harbhajan, Asif and Afridi (there might be more) have done one or more of those things in this tournament.

don't be too disappointed....look back on what you said....they just lost one match. It's 2020 cricket which doesn't prove any kind of cricketing abilities unless you count slogging (which mostly anyone could do). They really played good cricket during this tournament and they are moving forward, they are not back to square one. Just because they don't advance in this tournament doesn't mean they are going backwards by any means!Wink

"at times" is perhaps being generous to him!

Hence Sangakarra's nice observation to him one day asking why he batted in short sleeves but wore long ones when he bowled.

If NZL were to use him as a batsman only, then better not select him at all! I am sure NZL has better batsman than him. He is not the greatest of fielder either. Overall---> Oram is turning into a useless all rounder, who bowls poorly(as our friend Bondy says), not the best of NZL's batsmen and not a great fielder. If this is true, why pick him in NZL side at all?
 
The presence Oram can bring with the bat is immense. If he concentrated on his batting, which he orginally was a batsman, he'd play a key role in the NZ line-up. If he can bowl, it's a bonus.
 
I'm not going to argue with a little kid, either. You have no idea about NZ cricket. Oram is an excellent fielder in thte gully region. He dropped a catch off his own bowling; it's been done before..he's not a useless all rounder. Ask any Australian if he can bat, eh?
 
You're right there Bondy. Oram has been known for his excellent fielding and can use his height to his advantage. His batting, when on form, is great to watch especially when he gets under it and gives it some. But, his bowling has been average as of late but im sure he can work on that. His bowling performances in the ODI WC were better than what we're seeing currently.
Warriors!!

haha South africa yet again failed in pressure match. good performance by indian bowler specially RP singh. I dont know what happened to SA, first I thought that they only want to qualify for semis and not want to face australia in semifinal but suddenly the whole situation changed and they lost the very important match. they really missed kallis in that situation. now the clash between two continents lets see who win.

They got their tactics all wrong - as soon as they went 5 down they shut up shop and hoped they could inch to 125, whereas with a little more boldness they could have counter attacks, put pressure on India - they might not have won the match but they would have had a far better chance of getting 125.
 
I agree there.  They seemed content to just get to 126 and never really looked like wanting to win the match.  Thats what probably messed them up in the end.

I still don't think that a team can secure a victory for themselves by making 150-170...remember in the opening match between West Indies and South Africa, the windies made 200+ and they still lost! Of course they gave away so much extras it didn't help them one bit. Confused But maybe that's just the windies...maybe no other team would have bowlers to bowl that much extras!
