Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[canefan]

Wags looks much more menacing now. Right back in his wheelhouse with the short stuff

[Chris B.]

It's hooping around now for Tim!

182-6.New ball coming. Very good morning for NZ.

New ball brings runs …and wickets we hope

[canefan]

Taking the new ball seems to have relieved the pressure on the Indian batsmen. They look more comfortable. Kyle and Wags have outperformed Southee and Boult so far

[Squirrel]

Stop pulling away.

[Siam]

Baulking at the stumps when fielding is a 5 run penalty against the fielding side. Umpire's discretion.

How about a 5 run penalty for pulling away?

In other words, you've got time, get your shit organised!

[canefan]

FFS. Get Jamieson back on. All our toil being undone here

[Donsteppa]

Southee picked the wrong game to lose his radar. We might have to bowl Wags and Jamieson into the ground at this rate.

Ashwin playing a Colin innings.

(surely an effective curse...)

Settle. Give it some time.

[canefan]

Macca says we should have given Wags a few overs with the new ball. I am in agreement. Boult also off the pace right now. The batsmen look pretty comfortable

[Siam]

Don't like the mid wicket gap when boult bowls to the right-hander

[mikey07]

@canefan I second that it’s worth a try considering Southee seems to be offering nothing now

[booboo]

Ok. I'm off to bed, again.

[Damo]

KJ to have 2 overs before lunch.

Excellent reverse jinx

[No Quarter]

After dominating for a couple of years, Southee has been poor so far, on the biggest stage when conditions suited him best. Really disappointing.

[Donsteppa]

Some redemption from Southee, just as I was about to make another fuming post about Southee and Boult's gentle pie shop...

[Squirrel]

The ball keeps finding Latham. I'm happy about that
