CWC Game #2 Black Caps vs Bangladesh

That was an insane over wasn't it?

Good to see Ross Taylor giving the DRS system and umpire/TMO comms a good test....

Matt Henry is the leading wicket taker in the tournament with seven.
After a really nervy period including several near run outs, a near catch and a smattering of good shots in between, Rosco and Kane have settled in and are both now well set with less than half the total to be run down. Hopefully one of these two can get a hundred (Taylor now on 52 and Williamson on 35) and make this a comprehensive win.

I blame the camouflage the Bangles are wearing.

No Quarter

You guys are using the wrong thread, sheesh.

CdG won't want a close finish here, could be some fireworks coming up shortly.

No Quarter

Also why the hell did so many players hole out chasing a small total. Braindead.

It's baffling - if only they would just listen to BMac on commentary who is admonishing them for trying to push the tempo. I thought he would have been very happy with the skipper scoring 40 runs then chipping out.

No Quarter

Colin decides to leave the door ajar with an awful shot to get out...

No Quarter

Neesh holes out too. We're going to lose.

Awful cricket all round.

Gunner

Fucking muppets. Making hard work of this

Batting panic stations with six and a half overs still to go... madness...

No Quarter

26 from 38 is an absolute cake walk. What are we doing.

Cyclops

I expect Colin to go big or go home, and a bit of pinch hitting in that situation is understandable, but Jimmy just needed to bat it out. The run rate is so friendly.

panicking!

Lordy, hope we don't throw this one. Time for Santner to chill this one and get it home

Was almost tempted to break the curse word edict... but jesus.

At least Southee isn't in there, 26 off 38 would be treated as 26 of 8.

and the replacemetn for Timmah, Matt Henry strokes a classy 4. 11 needed from 26.

Bloody hell we are doing everything we can to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.
