CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[ACT Crusader]

Wood with a big outswinger at 146k’s.

[Chris B.]

Does Woakes usually bowl seven overs at the start?

Seems likely to me that Morgan went fishing for a wicket and didn't get it.

Wood getting a lot of swing

[Steven Harris]

Wood looks menacing especially with that pace and swing lets hope he doesn’t get his length right ..!

[canefan]

Kane misses out on a meat pie

[ACT Crusader]

Kane looking for a no ball beamer there??

[Crucial]

@canefan pretty fast pie right on the stumps. I’ll forgive him

[Mokey]

@canefan Kane has 5 off 28. He's missing out on pretty much everything. After the superb way he has batted to date, this is weird.

He sets the bar pretty high

What were his numbers against india? I thought he was slow too

[Steven Harris]

I reckon anything over 260 will be a par score ,anything in excess of that will be bonus..!

[ACT Crusader]

I know it was a phenomenal win given we defended 239, but there is no doubt that our bowlers were able to take advantage of bowling in the morning conditions. Pretty unique that, so I’m not sure the commentators can take too much from that when it comes to comparing what might be defendable.

[Damo]

While people are worrying about Kane, Nicholls is quietly picking up his pace.

Nicholls was 10 off 30 balls. He's now 27 of 43 balls. 17 off his last 13 faced.

Have a little patience everyone.

Remember when 50 off the first 15 overs was massive?

4rpo after 15 ...

Back in the 80s this is Haynes/Greenidge/Lloyd material

[Paekakboyz]

He'll ramp it up. Nichols is starting to score a bit quicker too.

He normally bowls 5 or 6 and doesn't come back until very late. Sometimes doesn't bowl 10.

[Mokey]

@canefan 67 off 95. 70 s/r

[Chris B.]

Wickets in hand is important!

It's a World Cup final - nerves will play a big part - if we keep wickets in hand, we should be a lot less nervous in the last 20 overs.

[kiwiinmelb]

Aussie comms talking us up, thinks we have done a good job getting through a difficult period

[booboo]

Hank i ts four.

Stokes injured?
