England vs New Zealand scorecard
Match : England vs New Zealand, first one day international, Standard bank ODI series.Venue : Westpac stadium in Wellington, New Zealand. Date : 9th February, 2008.. an Day/Night ODI. Debuts : Jesse Ryder (New Zealand). ODI no. : 2674th overall. (60th Eng v NZ ODI, 27 to Eng & 29 to NZ). Toss : England, elected to bat first. Result : New Zealand won by 6 wickets & 120 balls remaining. Series : first ODI of 5 ODI series between England and New Zealand in New Zealand, 2008 tour. Man of Match : Scott Styris. Umpires : GA Baxter (Kiwi) & Asad Rauf (Pakistani). England were bowled out for just 130 runs.. surprisingly, that doesn't surprise me! it happens all the time to all cricket teams touring New Zealand where balls swings & seams go out out batsmen's control. What does surprise me - England played out almost all quota of their overs, which is very good sign. Visitors won T20 1 at Chrischruch & T20 2 at Wellington, and although lack of attacking ability cost them this first one day internationals - standard bank series looks set for some exiting cricket in coming days..
One might wonder why England changed their winnings combination from the previous two twenty20 internationals. Luke Wright and Dimitri Mascarenhas had made way for Alaister Cook and Ravi Bopara. it was a concious defensive decision from English camp taking into account the swing Wellington pitch might offer. The trick they missed - was that agression takes the ball over the slips whereas conpact defence carries edges perfectly into fielders hands..! Related ArticlesEngland vs New Zealand scorecard
