<p><span style="font-size:14px;">2 Runs by which New Zealand were ahead of England at the end of the 16th over: New Zealand were 133 for 3 after 16, while England were 131 for 3.<em><strong> From there, New Zealand made 20 for 5 in their last four,</strong></em> while England smashed 28 runs off seven balls at that stage to seal the game with 17 balls to spare.</span></p>

<p>They're making a solid effort at it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jeez - that was a flukey runout of Devine. I bet the fielder couldn't do that again if she had ten goes at it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then Bates lobs one up and we are in a very deep hole.</p> -

But what a fuckibg bizarre final over.<br><br>
Something like<br>
Wide<br>
Missed run out lobbing it over the bowlers head<br>
Wide<br>
Missed run out ... sort of ... bowler in front of stumps missed on first swipe at bails then got them with the second and batter short (on replay ... i thought she ws at the time) but noone appeals so doesnt go upstairs<br>
Dropped on the boundary and it goes for 4<br>
Single?<br>
Single<br>
Single<br><br>
Might have missed a ball or two and got mixed up but it looked like they were trying to lose it the Windies -
<p>Jeez -there was some terrible cricket in those last few overs - especially the two set batsmen hitting consecutive balls down deep cover's throat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unbeaten in the round robin we go 0/2 in the semis.</p>
<p> </p>

[Pedant] First wicket was a leftie so it was deep square leg, or a squarish midwicket[/pedant] (sorry if that messes with your punchline ...
)
