Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

0.1


Southee to Obanda, 1 no ball, and he oversteps first ball, it was a length ball on target, but a free hit coming up

0.1


Southee to Obanda, 1 leg bye, gives him a short free hit, Obanda had set himself up for a huge swing, but missed it completely, they sneak a leg bye as the ball rolls away in to the on side

0.2


Southee to Waters, no run, fuller on the pads, he solidly plays it out to midwicket

0.3


Southee to Waters, no run, good line from Southee, around off stump, Waters goes back and defends it towards cover

0.4


Southee to Waters, no run, loud shout for leg before, nippy length delivery that struck him on the pads as he flicked across the line, but the umpire thought that was going down leg, i think he thought rightly too

0.5


Southee to Waters, no run, tucks him up for room nicely, bang on middle stump on a length, Waters plays it back to Southee

0.6


Southee to Waters, no run, touch fuller, still no room at all to work with, dug out towards mid on, good over from Southee

Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

Nathan McCullum in to the attack, hmm

1.1


NL McCullum to Obanda, no run, flat and on leg stump, he works it away to short midwicket

1.2


NL McCullum to Obanda, no run, fuller, much fuller, he is beaten as he looks to flick it through midwicket, takes it on the pads

1.3


NL McCullum to Obanda, 1 wide, off target goes Nathan, turning one way down leg

1.3


NL McCullum to Obanda, 1 run, works a fuller one away to mid on and hustles the single

1.4


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, played back to the bowler, that round the stumps angle gives no room to the batsman

1.5


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, and another one, this one was almost yorker length, and he dug it out to mid on

1.6


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, goes wider outside off stump, and he drives it without power to extra cover

Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

2.1


Southee to Obanda, 1 run, tucked away off the pads backward of square leg

2.2


Southee to Waters, no run, this is pretty neat stuff from the bowler, full length on middle stump, he is circumspect in his defence back down the track

2.3


Southee to Waters, 1 run, gets some width outside off and opens the bat face to take a single down to third man

2.4


Southee to Obanda, no run, another straight delivery, there is no seam, no swing, but there is no width either, and he pushes it towards mid on

2.5


Southee to Obanda, no run, shortens the length around off stump, he taps it to cover and thinks of a single but the fielder is quick to get to the ball

2.6


Southee to Obanda, no run, looks to swing him straight down the ground but is hit on the pads off the inside edge
End of over 3 (2 runs) Kenya 6/0 (RR: 2.00)
AA Obanda 2* (9b) TG Southee 2-0-3-0

Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

3.1


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, tossed up a shade and defended down the track

3.2


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, loops in the air off the pads, and slip goes across to take it and hazards an appeal, just in case

3.3


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, another tight delivery pushed down the pitch

3.4


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, gets forward and pushes to extra cover

3.5


NL McCullum to Waters, 1 run, goes across and works a fuller one wide of mid on

3.6


NL McCullum to Obanda, no run, quicker one on leg stump, hastily played out to midwicket, New Zealand have given nothing away in the initial few overs
End of over 4 (1 run) Kenya 7/0 (RR: 1.75)
AA Obanda 2* (10b) NL McCullum 2-0-3-0
SR Waters 2* (15b) TG Southee 2-0-3-0

Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

4.1


Southee to Waters, no run, dug in short of a good length, he gets in to some sort of a tangle as he decides to work it square but is hit on the thigh pad

4.2


Southee to Waters, no run, for the first time, Southee offers a lot of width outside off stump, but he fails to capitalise, a hint of away shape, just a hint, bit of bounce too, the attempted cut remains only an attempt

4.3


Southee to Waters, no run, another one goes past the edge of the bat, this one was fuller, closer to off, and whats more, it straightened to whizz past the forward poke

4.4


Southee to Waters, no run, confident looking drive from Waters, got to the pitch of a wide and full ball outside off, but his shot went straight to point

4.5


Southee to Waters, 1 run, this time he stays back to a shorter one, and guides it just behind point, enough for a quick run

4.6


Southee to Obanda, 1 run, another single, that's what Kenya seem to be interested in right now, this time to the left of midwicket off a fuller ball
End of over 5 (2 runs) Kenya 9/0 (RR: 1.80)
AA Obanda 3* (11b) TG Southee 3-0-5-0
SR Waters 3* (20b) NL McCullum 2-0-3-0

Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

5.1


NL McCullum to Obanda, 1 run, flicked wide of mid on with a flourish for a single

5.2


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, takes a step forward, does not help much, in he end he plays out this one towards the bowler

5.3


NL McCullum to Waters, no run, another one fired in on the stumps, he defends it back to Nathan

5.4


NL McCullum to Waters, 1 run, now he shortens the length, and he goes back to hit it past midwicket

5.5


NL McCullum to Obanda, no run, fired in on leg stump, too much for the batsman who pushes it back to the bowler

5.6


NL McCullum to Obanda, 1 run, gets forward and gets an inside edge towards square leg, the run rate now touches two
End of over 6 (3 runs) Kenya 12/0 (RR: 2.00)
AA Obanda 5* (14b) NL McCullum 3-0-6-0
SR Waters 4* (23b) TG Southee 3-0-5-0

Re: 2nd Match Of ICC World Cup - KEN Vs NZ

6.1


Southee to Obanda, no run, Kenya are not attempting anything but survival right now, another fullish ball on the stumps is dug out down the track, Southee leaps and fields

6.2


Southee to Obanda, 1 run, alright there is an attempt to break free, but he was late on the pull to the short ball, and hit it towards mid on

6.3


Southee to Waters, 1 leg bye, this one nips in with the angle from over the stumps, stays a bit low, he had no clue about it, and was rapped on the pads, the ball rolled away wide of slip

6.4


Southee to Obanda, no run, takes another one on the pads, this time pretty high, leg sidish from Southee but he could do nothing about it

6.5


Southee to Obanda, no run, this one is dug in, and takes off, just past the batsman's head who attempts a weak pull, and goes nowhere with it

6.6


Southee to Obanda, OUT, finally Southee gets some reward for some tight bowling, this one was pitched on a length, and went on with the angle to hit Obanda on the pads, New Zealand went up, so too did umpire Erasmus' finger, looked to be heading towards leg stump, but replays show it bouncing just over the top of the stumps, Kenya haven't gone for the review


AA Obanda lbw b Southee 6 (27m 19b 0x4 0x6) SR: 31.57

7.1


NL McCullum to Waters, 1 run, driven towards long on for a single

Qasim: "Kenya thinking should be " Slow and steady always wins the race." Obuya is the new man in

7.2


NL McCullum to Obuya, no run, skips down the track and pushes a flighted one to mid off

7.3


NL McCullum to Obuya, no run, stays back to a skidding flat delivery and works it away square on the leg side

7.4


NL McCullum to Obuya, FOUR, we have some intent from a Kenya batsman, and we have a boundary, the first one of the innings, came down the track, and lofted him over mid off, clean hit

7.5


NL McCullum to Obuya, no run, comes down the track again, but this time Nathan does not not give it much air, and he defends it

7.6


NL McCullum to Obuya, FOUR, furiously sweeps a full delivery, and gets it past short fine leg, second boundary of the over, of the innings too
End of over 8 (9 runs) Kenya 23/1 (RR: 2.87)
CO Obuya 8* (5b 2x4) NL McCullum 4-0-15-0
