We batted first because Kane doesn’t trust the bowling.

Bring back Southee

Bring back a coach who won't obstinately freeze on his selections at the big show...

[canefan]

So overcast damp conditions, win the toss, please explain why we don't bowl first?

[Mokey]

Remind me again why we bloody well chose to bat???

This is going to be fucking hard to bat on later

This situation is made for Latham. He's good in a crisis and plays spin well. Horrifically out of form though.

[shark]

If these two can't put a big partnership on then i don't know where runs will come from in this situation and we may need to defend 150.

[booboo]

I hate cricket

We'll be lucky to post 150 if we lose Kane

We're getting a few threes where the comms are calling two which is a bit unusual. Deceptively long boundaries, or slow fieldsmen?

Gotta say, I'm genuinely confused at the decision to bat.

Me too!

I also reckon by the time I've finished typing this, Munro will be out edging Amir.

called it

Graphic said only 60m so slow fieldsmen?

[canefan]

First priority has to be bat the full 50 overs

[shark]

Anyway, let's get nurdling

Stead, give yourself an uppercut.

Fucking this.
Fucking Henry.
Fucking Nicholls.
Fuck.

[shark]

Latham is gonna lose his off stump.

Breaking news. NZ win CWC with only 9 players. Decide to let Guppy and Munro hit the piss with the WAGs instead.

Shit shot selection.

ps - Guppy is getting my Munro related angst. Expect Guptill to bat his way outta his funk. Don't think it's helping having numpty at the other end.

Difference between Guppy and Munro?

Class and form.

Guppy is class.

Munro occasionally has form.

Nicholls has class.

Selectors are faaarking dumb.

[booboo]
