ICC T20 World Cup

<p>Shit maybe I am just really insightful about cricket then. They should make me the blackcaps batting coach.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However the fact that the English commentary Hussein or whoever it was was verbally felating Jordan in his opening two overs about his amazing ability to consistently bowl blockhole yorkers in the death bowling period and what a great job he has done of doing just that throughout this tournament except in the first game against the Windies and how it was a big part in their run to the semis might be a tipoff I am not the only one who was aware of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are people really surprised that our batsman couldn't flay that kind of bowling when South Africa's and Sri Lankas batsman couldn't? We were never in a strong position if we were planning to take 50 runs off the last 4-5 overs</p> -
<p>We got ourselves out to very hittable full tosses from Stokes. On another night those sail over the boundary and we get a good total.</p>

Yep, here's hoping they don't suffer the same fate after being unbeaten in pool play!

<p><span style="font-size:14px;">2 Runs by which New Zealand were ahead of England at the end of the 16th over: New Zealand were 133 for 3 after 16, while England were 131 for 3.<em><strong> From there, New Zealand made 20 for 5 in their last four,</strong></em> while England smashed 28 runs off seven balls at that stage to seal the game with 17 balls to spare.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">7.74 New Zealand's run rate in the last ten in this World T20; since the start of the Super 10, the only team with a lower run rate in the last ten is Bangladesh - they scored at 7.40 per over.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">7/64 New Zealand's score in the last ten overs - they managed only four fours and a six during this period. After the first ten they were 89 for 1, with 12 fours and two sixes.</span></p> -

<p>They're making a solid effort at it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jeez - that was a flukey runout of Devine. I bet the fielder couldn't do that again if she had ten goes at it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then Bates lobs one up and we are in a very deep hole.</p> -

But what a fuckibg bizarre final over.<br><br>
Something like<br>
Wide<br>
Missed run out lobbing it over the bowlers head<br>
Wide<br>
Missed run out ... sort of ... bowler in front of stumps missed on first swipe at bails then got them with the second and batter short (on replay ... i thought she ws at the time) but noone appeals so doesnt go upstairs<br>
Dropped on the boundary and it goes for 4<br>
Single?<br>
Single<br>
Single<br><br>
Might have missed a ball or two and got mixed up but it looked like they were trying to lose it the Windies
