CWC - Black Caps v Pakistan

[Chris B.]

Shot Philipps!

[Bones]

6 over 3rd man Mitch. Not nurdle it just off the pitch

[bayimports]

I’d almost go Southee before Latham lol

[Chris B.]

Come on Afridi - break Rauf's record!

Done

[Chris B.]

He does!!!

[bayimports]

400 up mother fuckers

[canefan]

Now our bowlers have to ease up on the meat pies and we should win this

[Bones]

We scored 401 and I was frustrated we weren't letting loose the last 5 overs 🤣

[bayimports]

Fark it would be an equivalent if not worse than a Foster first if we lose from here!

[Chris B.]

That's pretty decent in a must win game.

If Pakistan had batted and done that I'd be very despondent.

If they win AND get ahead of our run rate advantage it will be some effort!

Let's hope Stead's bowling selections aren't a disaster!

[LABCAT]

Two runs short of being our highest ever ODI total.

Yeah would've looked better against Pakistan than it does against Ireland.

Yeah, I thought Santner was going a bit slow but he managed to come off in the end.

[bayimports]

Interestingly PAK have to chase down that total in 35.3 overs to pass our NRR

If you really nail it you can go at around 17 an over off the last five. Really need Mitch Jr., Chapman and Philipps doing the hitting - and to come off.

Ravindra has 3 tons in the tournament. Talk about a coming out party

He is second on the tournament run scoring list behind Quentin, that’s an insanely impressive stat

[Chris B.]

Ravindra's first name (Rachin) is a portmanteau of the first names of Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar.

Great foresight by his parents!

Should be worth a few Lakhs in the IPL auction.

A reassuring Plan B.
