Wouldn’t mind if Guptil, Munro and Latham turned up to this cup though
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.

Usually I don't mind the poms in cricket but now I'm hoping they are knocked out. Seriously arrogant fanbase - winning tight is "proof" we are just lucky but let's ignore them losing to Sri Lanka+ Pakistan and still not being guaranteed a semi.Nice to see another Tauranga boy with the winning play.

I am sure the coaches won't learn, but after the match we should
- Give the next 2 starts to Nicholls, Munro is a failure
- If we play Henry he needs to be bowled through. The guy is not a death bowler
Logic dictates Henry is due a few wickets but agree. We have other superior death options. No, Southee is not one of these anymore.

Seem a bit annoyed about MOTM ... let’s mske it easy. Kane’s innings difference between winning and losing badly. Braithwait between almost winning and losing badly.
Despite his great knock Kane handed in a team sheet with Munro and Milne on it.
Give it to Brathwaite.

He can still take wickets at the start. Neesh did a good job, I reckon CDG could do a job too. Henry? No

That Ferguson chap is really ruining your "stoic, proud, yet humble Kiwi" vibe with some of his wicket celebrations.
And that dirty mo.
Hypocrites proudly stand over here behind me!
I'm making inquiries for wee locky to be my godson - love that lad 😁
(warner mumble mumble, self awareness mumble mumble does he have to mumble...)

Just got home from the game after not being online. Interesting to read the thread start to finish and just so many premature calls made ....
Looks like NZ are half an excellent side and half a poor one. It's basically Tauranga keeping things together. What a maestro Kane is as usual walking to the wicket after just one ball.
Great atmosphere at the game. English fans supporting the Windies and NZ fans mostly in their early 20s and mostly pissed.
