Cricket: NZ vs England

[LABCAT]

Why would you block the ball when the run rate is almost 14?

[Gunner]

It’s game over now with our long tail.

Taylor could possibly get us home if he had another batter or two to bat with.

We’re steering down the barrel of an absolute pantsing!

And now Taylor is gone and the fat lady is mid chorus.

[Godder]

Neesham was injured.

Right spanking that.

It's really really wet here at Eden Park, and I can't seem to share a picture.

Not sure play will happen

Stink that the toss decision is so one sided on a rainy day. Everyone leaves the toss knowing the winner is already in the box seat, due to the chasing calculations in Duckworth Lewis.

I don't know a better solution though

@Siam hopefully the rain will close back in

Do you know the numbers on that? Could only find 50 over matches and a (possibly dodgy) report - nothing for T20.

The conclusion was that the side winning the toss was most likely to win (66%) but team batting first also won 64%.

[Siam]

@Snowy yeah I was wondering if the stats would refute the chasing is easier notion

Quite a fun little wog fest, this game

[booboo]

So NZ bay first in what is now an E11.

Make 146.

England need 2.22 runs per ball.

[Crucial]

Seriously?
Again!

This is fascinating.

In my mind we have got away with murder with some of the wide calls

Did you see the first innings?

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Ross Taylor could have cost us this match with his bad running.

No. Just describing what I watched

[Crucial]

Why did Seifert face first?

The umpire was generous but consistent with the new interpretations

[Crucial]

PTSD?
