@No-Quarter said in 2019 Cricket ODI WC:

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

[Donsteppa]

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.

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

How do we respond to pressure. Exciting times. Great tourney!

[Donsteppa]

Outside of Taylor, the whole batting lineup needs to give themselves an uppercut.

[nzzp]

The WAGs have been into the bubbles ... great support

Guppy, Kane, Latham and Neesh need to have long hard look at themselves.

[Donsteppa]

Excellent, Saifuddin all but gifts the game away with wides and Lockie nabs a boundary. Scores level.

[Donsteppa]

@MN5's favourite player for the win

[Siam]

Well, we'll take that. Phew.

[Virgil]

Black Caps on top on the table!

Not great for the Net Run Rate (from what it could have been) but a near death experience and a chance for everyone to bat isn't a bad thing given the tournament.
