CWC - Black Caps v Netherlands

[Duluth]

@Cyclops said in CWC - Black Caps v Netherlands:

These are the games that you can sometimes think are won before they really are.

Or you chase the NRR too hard and trip up

[Duluth]

Netherlands choose to field first

Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (capt, wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult

[Duluth]

3 maidens to start the innings

Will Young finally decides that we're not playing a Timeless Test.

[Donsteppa]

Young 18 (14), Conway 1 (13).

Young determined to make up for that scorecard meme from Game 1...

Absolute pie-chucker is this Klein fella.

NZ finish their innings with 322/7, solid effort from the lower middle order to keep things going after we started to falter around the mid 200s

Satnav awesome on last two balls! Feel for the bowler who bowled well for his spell except for his last ball which not only goes for six but then requires another delivery as a free hit, which then also leaves the ground

Love the slow clap in the background when Doull gives the "ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY...for seven"

[Bones]

That's a new one. Commentators losing their shit. Latham gets his gloves marginally in front of the wicket before he collects the ball behind the wicket and stumps the batsman. TV official calls it a no ball.

Smithy unhappy, "this is becoming like rugby union".

[Bones]

Santner got Michelle with the next ball anyway. Right on the stump.
