CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[Chris B.]

Fuck it.

It was going very nicely, but they've pulled us back.

Now we've got to consolidate - no more wickets for at least 10 overs!

I hope Boult and Henry are watching Plunkett's length

[booboo]

And nobody bowl wides

[Damo]

Yeah I was feeling really happy 15 minutes ago. Not so good now.

Pitch is better than against India. We will need a 270+. Ideally 290+. That is still on, but we'll need a good score from one of Neesham, CDG and Santner.

[canefan]

Plunkett pitches up and Latham almost chops on

[Donsteppa]

Wish Plunkett was bowing more like his first spell...

[reprobate]

plunket is so mediocre. it's like karma is finally collecting for our many years of way too successful medium pace.

[booboo]

Ok. Double the 39 over score ...

... 250

Hmmm.

[booboo]

Lot of well timed shots direct to fielders.

[Billy Tell]

Taylor is doing a great job of finding the fielders.

We had a good platform to launch but those wickets were unfortunate. Need 300.

[ACT Crusader]

Good comeback by England here. Clawed back a run per over of the RR and taken 2 quick wickets.

[No Quarter]

If we can go at 4 - 5 an over until the 40 over mark that gets us to 180 odd, then we can launch for 280 in the final 10.

Wickets in hand will be key.

[mariner4life]

Fucking can find a fielder

We won’t get to 280 if we keep finding the fielders.

[canefan]

They are all standing up and our guys can't find the gaps

[booboo]

Need to accelerate from here or it will be a moot point.

Aa @mariner4life says those shots to the fielder have to go past them.

[reprobate]

fucking cricket. the only game in the world where the commentators can congratulate a bowler for his length being all over the place and his seam being scrambled - or for his length being consistent and his seam being upright.

[Mokey]

Taylor and Latham need the super water. They haven't got time to scratch about like chickens. We need runs.

[Paekakboyz]

@Mokey I hope that isnt a line out of one of your books!!

[Donsteppa]

Hope he's right on current innings pacing:
