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

Southee is back

22.1


Southee to Patel, no run, tucks him up with a back of a length ball, he defends it off the back foot

22.2


Southee to Patel, 1 run, fuller delivery on the pads, flicked away to fine leg

22.3


Southee to Odhiambo, no run, Southee gets ambitious with the leg before appeal, the batsman was struck high on the pads, but it was slipping down leg

22.4


Southee to Odhiambo, no run, goes for an extravagant drive to a full delivery, but gets an inside edge on to pad and the ball rolls away towards point, there have been so many of them today, inside edges, and wickets too

22.5


Southee to Odhiambo, OUT, and another one goes, nothing shot really, swinging wildly to a full delivery that was of the you-miss-I-hit types, well Odhiambo missed, and the ball uprooted off stump, ho hum


NN Odhiambo b Southee 0 (6m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

22.6


Southee to Ngoche, OUT, two in two for Tim, pinpoint yorker on the stumps, and before the bat could come down, the ball had crashed on to boot, not much to decide for the umpire, Southee is on a hat trick with one wicket to go


SO Ngoche lbw b Southee 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

End of over 23 (1 run) Kenya 68/9 (RR: 2.95)
TG Southee 6-0-13-3
RR Patel 15* (22b 1x4) JDP Oram 2-1-1-2

[Mr.Khan]

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

23.1


Oram to Patel, 1 run, pitched up close to the batsman, who gets forward and drives in the air, but wide of extra cover

Daniel: "I think it's time for the batting power play"

23.2


Oram to Otieno, no run, solidly behind the line of this length delivery around off stump

23.3


Oram to Otieno, no run, full toss outside off stump, but he cannot beat Nathan at mid off with the drive

23.4


Oram to Otieno, no run, swinging in a touch and landing almost on a yorker length close to off stump, dug out to point

23.5


Oram to Otieno, OUT, oops, there will be no hat trick for Southee, another one stopped on the batsman, he was already well forward and pushing hard at it, and the ball flew to one of the two men at short midwicket, it's all over for Kenya, nice gesture from the big man Oram, grins sheepishly and gestures apologetically in the direction of Southee, who has an even broader smile on his face


E Otieno c Styris b Oram 0 (4m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

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

Back for the chase, with Guptill and Brendon. Odoyo has the new ball

0.1


Odoyo to Guptill, no run, short of a length and seaming away from off stump, he pushes it to the right of cover, who makes a diving stop

0.2


Odoyo to Guptill, no run, played out towards point off the back foot

short extra cover in place

0.3


Odoyo to Guptill, no run, punched off the back foot to that man at short extra cover

0.4


Odoyo to Guptill, no run, well left outside the off stump

Chayan: "Is there any chance of an upset now?" Er, me thinks not

0.5


Odoyo to Guptill, FOUR, dismissed through midwicket, Guptill plays those pulls so well, gets in to position quickly, picks up the length early, and crashes it into the gap

0.6


Odoyo to Guptill, 1 run, now he goes hard at one that is far outside off stump, and slashes it down to a squarish third man

End of over 1 (5 runs) New Zealand 5/0 (65 runs required from 49 overs, RR: 5.00, RRR: 1.32)

MJ Guptill 5* (6b 1x4) TM Odoyo 1-0-5-0
BB McCullum 0* (0b)

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

Swami: "Instead of saying 8 batsmen haven't crossed 6 runs, why don't you say that 7 batsmen have not crossed 2 runs?" If you say so

1.1


Otieno to Guptill, FOUR, gets one short of a good length, and sends it screaming through extra cover, waited for the ball to arrive and picked the gap neatly

1.2


Otieno to Guptill, FOUR, Kenya don;t want to wait in the Chennai heat for long, short and wide, he gets on top of it and sends it in to orbit over a vainly leaping point

1.3


Otieno to Guptill, no run, better delivery, a touch fuller, closer to off stump, left alone

1.4


Otieno to Guptill, no run, beaten on the pull, it was too close to him for the shot, and he was beaten as he swivelled on a leg

1.5


Otieno to Guptill, no run, lets one go outside the off stump

1.6


Otieno to Guptill, no run, takes a step out and defends this length delivery out to point

End of over 2 (8 runs) New Zealand 13/0 (57 runs required from 48 overs, RR: 6.50, RRR: 1.18)

MJ Guptill 13* (12b 3x4) E Otieno 1-0-8-0
BB McCullum 0* (0b) TM Odoyo 1-0-5-0

[Mr.Khan]

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

2.1


Odoyo to BB McCullum, no run, defended off the back foot towards covers

2.2


Odoyo to BB McCullum, 1 run, oops, Baz went for the ambitious pull, but it seemed to stop on him as he went through with the shot, the ball was up in the air for ages, but no one could get to it as it fell between midwicket and square leg

2.3


Odoyo to Guptill, 1 run, good full length delivery on the stumps, tickled away behind square leg

2.4


Odoyo to BB McCullum, 1 run, played out in front of point off the back foot

2.5


Odoyo to Guptill, no run, looks to go over square leg with the heave, but is struck on the pads, Odoyo thinks he is on to something, the umpire thinks he isn't, going down leg that one, Kenya go for the review anyway, and find that the umpire was right

Balaji: "i thought the match would last longer and was planning to visit the stadium now!!! i guess by the time i reach the stadium i would be the only person there!!!"

2.6


Odoyo to Guptill, FOUR, lovely shot, got one full on middle, and lifted it straight back over the umpire, one bounce in to the boundary, also holds the pose for effect

End of over 3 (7 runs) New Zealand 20/0 (50 runs required from 47 overs, RR: 6.66, RRR: 1.06)

MJ Guptill 18* (15b 4x4) TM Odoyo 2-0-12-0
BB McCullum 2* (3b) E Otieno 1-0-8-0

[Mr.Khan]

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

3.1


Otieno to BB McCullum, 2 runs, he keeps going for these ambitious pulls, this one just manages to clear midwicket, he is not timing them cleanly, getting far forward with the initial movement

3.2


Otieno to BB McCullum, 1 run, pushed out firmly to extra cover off the front foot, this one thudded in to the bat from a length

3.3


Otieno to Guptill, no run, stays on the back foot, and punches a length ball to mid on, much like Sehwag was doing yesterday

3.4


Otieno to Guptill, SIX, he wants to go back quickly, got one in the slot, and tonked it over mid off, it was hit so well it carried all the way over the ropes

3.5


Otieno to Guptill, no run, defended in to the off side, calmly done

3.6


Otieno to Guptill, 1 run, good slower one, he had already shaped up for the steer, but edged it just short of widish slip in the end, well bowled but Guptill gets away

End of over 4 (10 runs) New Zealand 30/0 (40 runs required from 46 overs, RR: 7.50, RRR: 0.86)

MJ Guptill 25* (19b 4x4 1x6) E Otieno 2-0-18-0
BB McCullum 5* (5b) TM Odoyo 2-0-12-0

[Mr.Khan]

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

4.1


Odoyo to Guptill, SIX, smack! jeez, Guptill is murdering these full deliveries, got underneath this one, and swung it high and straight down the ground, it disappeared behind the sight screen

4.2


Odoyo to Guptill, 1 run, pushed out wide of point off the back foot

4.3


Odoyo to BB McCullum, FOUR, gives him the charge, he digs it short in to the batsman, but Brendon gets enough on it for the top edge to crash in to the fine leg boundary, not even luck is going Kenya's way

4.4


Odoyo to BB McCullum, 1 run, Baz pinches another single to bring Guptill on strike

4.5


Odoyo to Guptill, 1 wide, now he goes wide down the leg side

4.5


Odoyo to Guptill, 1 leg bye, tucks him up for room with one on the pads, but they are alert enough to sneak a leg bye

4.6


Odoyo to BB McCullum, no run, quicker from the bowler, played out off the back foot to midwicket

End of over 5 (14 runs) New Zealand 44/0 (26 runs required from 45 overs, RR: 8.80, RRR: 0.57)

BB McCullum 10* (8b 1x4) TM Odoyo 3-0-25-0
MJ Guptill 32* (22b 4x4 2x6) E Otieno 2-0-18-0

5.2


Kamande to Guptill, 1 wide, now he goes way down the leg side

5.2


Kamande to Guptill, 1 run, goes on the back foot and works a fuller one past a diving short midwicket

Sravan: "The guys who won the tender for providing lunch at Chepauk are going on a strike claiming refund."

5.3


Kamande to BB McCullum, 1 run, punched down the ground to mid off, who is ever so slow in getting to the ball, the single becomes a cakewalk

5.4


Kamande to Guptill, no run, played out to short midwicket off the back foot

5.5


Kamande to Guptill, 2 byes, good delivery, tossed up, turning in, beats the forward push from the batsman, beats the keeper too

5.6


Kamande to Guptill, no run, goes on the back foot to solidly defend this delivery turning in from outside off

End of over 6 (9 runs) New Zealand 53/0 (17 runs required from 44 overs, RR: 8.83, RRR: 0.38)

MJ Guptill 37* (27b 5x4 2x6) JK Kamande 1-0-7-0

6.2


Odhiambo to Guptill, 1 wide, full delivery endeavoring to target the stumps, but sprayed down the leg side in the end

6.2


Odhiambo to Guptill, 1 run, tucked away firmly but a diving midwicket keeps them down to a single

6.3


Odhiambo to BB McCullum, 1 no ball, dug in short, too short, going over the batsman, what's more, it;s a no-ball as well

6.3


Odhiambo to BB McCullum, no run, whoops, Brendon tried to play that ramp shot over fine leg, got too far across and outside the stumps, and the full delivery crashed in to middle stump, and this happens off a no-ball, what a day for Kenya

6.4


Odhiambo to BB McCullum, 1 run, pushed in to the gap at cover for a run

6.5


Odhiambo to Guptill, no run, punched back to the bowler off the back foot

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

7.1


Kamande to BB McCullum, FOUR, was nowhere near the pitch of the ball as he rushed down the track, but went through with the shot anyways, reaching out to get to the ball and lofting it over the bowler for a boundary

7.2


Kamande to BB McCullum, 1 run, now he walks across the stumps, and whips this one through midwicket

7.3


Kamande to Guptill, no run, pushed down to mid on off the front foot

7.4


Kamande to Guptill, 1 run, hammered through midwicket. it was short and he threw his bat at it, there is a man at deep midwicket though

7.5


Kamande to BB McCullum, FOUR, super stroke, waits for this delivery to arrive, and reverse sweeps it past backward point for another boundary

7.6


Kamande to BB McCullum, FOUR, that'll do, another reverse swept boundary brings up a crushing victory for New Zealand, Brendon fetched it from leg stump, and didn;t bother to go down on a knee, just twirled his wrists to get the placement right

[Mr.Khan]
