CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[reprobate]

haha that's good. Indian key tactics before the first drinks break - prevent williamson from rotating the strike.

[Paekakboyz]

Let's get this party started!!

[Canerbry]

Next person to complain about New Zealand's National Anthem will be referred to this moment.

[No Quarter]

Ugh review first ball! Shiiiit

[No Quarter]

Missing and they've wasted their review. Excellent.

[hydro11]

Turns out to be a great start.

[reprobate]

sweet, stupid review.

[Damo]

Yes. And India have lost their review.

Pretty bad review. I thought it was always heading down.

[hydro11]

I don't like how Guptill looks out there.

[Chris B.]

Guppy looking in fantastic form - seeing it like a melon!

[Godder]

Essentially, our most likely matchwinners are Guptill, Williamson, Taylor, Neesham, CDG and Boult, although obviously anyone can get a big score or bowl a destructive spell. Guptill is more on past form, but he is certainly capable of it.

[westcoastie]

@Chris-B an invisible melon. in-form Guptill clips that last ball, first over for 6.

[mariner4life]

Playing 2 feet from your body is a sure sign you are in form...

[No Quarter]

Nicholls needs to dig in and play it like a test for the first 10 overs.

[Mokey]

God. Nicholls and Guptill playing like a couple of third formers against the Ist XI.

[reprobate]

That was a fucken peach that nicholls missed. Don't need that.

[Canerbry]

I reckon we've got bat on ball 4 times in the first two overs, not enough obviously but still they've lost their review.

[Darren]

This can't go on much longer, has to be runs or wickets, sometime soon.

[Paekakboyz]

We could be taking slow and steady a bit too far here...

Stoked they've lost their review

[MajorRage]

Is this our best opening partnership of the tournament? Balls faced wise?
