CWC Game #9 Black Caps v England

[Mokey]

I don't understand bringing Southee back just when we were starting to get the better of them. Why doesn't Kane bowl himself? Hell, even an over from Guptill couldn't be worse than this shit.

Give it to an 83yo with polio.

Even if/when Henry does eventually get smacked around at the death, it'll be no different to Southee's bowling throughout...

[Mokey]

And just to underline, Neesh bowls a maiden.

[Mokey]

Much better over from Southee, 3 runs from it. Just wish he hadn't bowled dire shit in the first 7.

[Mokey]

We are a bit slow on the over rate too. Argh. Don't want to get ourselves into trouble with that.

[mariner4life]

6 runs from 3 overs. And we've got the run rate down below 6

keep the pressure on here and a wicket will follow

[mariner4life]

Santner bowls some village stuff at times

[Mokey]

Can we not bowl pies. FFS.

[mariner4life]

that was the worst possible over. fuck mate, just bowl tight

[Mokey]

@mariner4life piss easy 9 runs.

[Mokey]

41 overs bowled, ENG 246/4.

[mariner4life]

coming for ages. Pressure is getting to them.

Much better over Santner

[Mokey]

Mitch gets Stokes.

[mariner4life]

Neesh has just quietly had a little ripper of a day so far

[Mokey]

Yes, we'll take these overs with just singles. Please and thank you.

[mariner4life]

Not loving those comments Baz. Chasing is hard enough without the pitch slowing right up

[Mokey]

Neesh again! Gets Woakes.

[mariner4life]

Neesh grabs another. 259-6

Commentators seem to be coming to the conclusion 300 is going to be enough

[Mokey]

@mariner4life I'd like to think it's just a really great bowling effort from Boult, Henry, Neesham and Santner, but yikes.
