NZ v England - ODI 3 - 2008

Played on the 15th February in Auckland.

England won by 6 wickets.

The series took a turn as England this time taught a NZ a cricketing lesson. NZ lost early wickets to be at one stage 95/5. The three pronged pace attack was accurate and threatening. After the loss of the New Zealand top order Oram and Vettori set about building a more substantial total. Vettori made 42 and Oram hit 88. NZ finished their overs at 234/9 a defendable total.

England faltered at the start being 31/2 but from then on the game was theirs. Bell made it into the 70s hitting 10 fours. Pieterson was slow and looked uncomfortable as he made it into the 40s. Vettori stemmed the runs and claimed 2 wickets but it was never enough as collingwood belted an impressive 70 odd to win the match and make the series 2-1 with 2 matches remaining.

Sorry about the poor video. Technical difficulties and time meant I could not make much out of what I had.

semi final then, your right... it was a semi.

but I ment that thisis just a random ODI.

is a nice shot eh?

[madkidftw]

it can't have been as New Zealand haven't ever been in a world cup final. In this particular stadium the blue panasonic stand wasn't being used as it is being redeveloped for the RWC... And speaking of rugby they played this on a friday because the stadium was being used for rugby on the saturday =( stopped me going to it. Love the shot at 1:12
