Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[rotated]

I was trying to remember what the Southee dropped catch reminded me of...

What was effectively a knockout match, against India on neutral territory; Bond had taken two key wickets (Tuffey a third) going for a fourth and then McCullum flibs it at 27:00 - all the momentum goes and its' game over.

@rotated Thanks for that, Byron!

Timmy and Trent have done wonderful things over the years to get this cricket team to where it currently is, but both have now fucked up crucial catches in finals that have robbed the team of making history

I've got to go to bed.

Please don't let me wake up to find we've got neither hand on that fucking mace!

Good luck gentlemen and ladies.

Is it just me or has Kylo got quicker the more he's played?

Wags switches to plan B

What's with the camera missing the keeper

What's the feeling from here?

At what point do we think we'll need them all out in order to have a decent chance of a win?

How many runs would we be comfortable chasing?

Doull says 73 overs remaining. India 98 runs ahead.

If everything went well for us, we might be able to get 170 off 40 overs in the last session - largely based on 2.5 an over for the first 20 and 6 an over for the second 20. That's probably stretching probabilities.

But, if it goes badly, we'd have to shut up shop and suddenly only India can win.

If India bats the next session they might get 80+ if Pant and Jadeja stay together for a decent amount of time. Knock them and/or Ashwin over - and the last three shouldn't hurt us too much.

Damo's 150 off 50 sounds doable

120 off 60 sounds good to me!!!

Ha, ha and ha

Kyle leading the charge for MOTM. Currently has 7/55 off 42 overs.

[KiwiMurph]

Start penciling in the draw I think.

Nice work bro!

Wags my boy!

[Frye]

Wagner!

Bishop regarding every shot (or non shot) from Jadeja as a batting masterclass was slightly irritating not gonna lie. (Deliberate commentators curse?)

[Bones]

Ashwin - this is the same guy that they interviewed at the EOP yesterday who was not at all confident in his batting ability right?

[SynicBast]

I think I've heard Relentless used almost every over when describing NZ bowling attack, be it individually or as a Wolf pack

[Donsteppa]

Need to get Pant out and get the tail batting with Ashwin. That dropped catch is going to haunt for a while…

[KiwiMurph]

@bones 5 test centuries. Ashwin can bat.

100% draw or loss from here. Reckon Kane should put the feelers out to share the mace and hit pub early

[Donsteppa]

Bouncers, not half trackers leaking runs.

Pant looking rock solid against Kyle.

I’ll be here all night…
