Will these bowlers ever learn the value of yorkers?
That was Henry's problem. He doesn't have the variations to be effective at the death. Neesham is a better bowler at this stage as we are seeing. Henry was trying to execute but they just turned out as full tosses.
Yeah Neesham and Ferguson both bowled a lot of cutters and slower bouncers at the death. Henry's approach to bowling at the death seems completely different and hasn't really changed. What are the coaches doing?

Oh dear @Baron-Silas-Greenback and @MN5 are going to have an interesting discussion after this game..
Henry is still a legend. He just struggles against the Windies, his bogey team. Still got a wicket, extremely important in the ‘context’ of the match.

Satisfying to see Neesham effective at the death. Gives us more options. Henry has had two poor games in a row now. Pakistan then England our next two games, be interesting to see if they bring back Southee or give Henry one last game.
Edit, fixed a wrong team name

I would have been happy enough to lose that to see someone draw their team from the ashes single handedly like that.
Immense match to watch
Both games today were excellent cricket matches. Sri Lanka vs England good too. World Cup finally coming to life, perhaps as teams start to adjust to the conditions?

Thank you Neesham for bowling like death bowling should. Fucking hell that was a terrible over from Henry and almost cost us the game. On a side note, I'm glad Brathwaite got his 100. He played bloody brilliantly.
Wasn't Henry also the wankstain that dropped Gayle first?
Boult us a legend

Wouldn’t mind if Guptil, Munro and Latham turned up to this cup though
Happy if that's Munro's last chance saloon though.
Bring in Nicholls.

Yep, as much as Henry wheeling out the pie cart at the death was as predictable as the sun rising in the morning, there are a few passengers in the mix too.
Thankfully the usual legends are firing

Another fun fact! This is the second time at a world cup both openers have gone for a golden duck. Last time was 2015 Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka (batting second) recovered to win that too.
There's only one other example of it in all ODIs, and that was by Zimbabwe vs West Indies, but on that occasion Zimbabwe ended up getting thumped by 80 odd.
