CWC - Black Caps v Pakistan

[Canes4life]

Fk me our bowlers need to step up their game. Getting pumped early, just like the Aus game.

[Donsteppa]

Think we’ll need ten wickets to defend this one…

[Canes4life]

Just need to keep taking regular wickets. Is Phillips that guy again?

[Chris B.]

Good stuff, Glenn Philipps!

[Bones]

As a teen of the 90s, I'm not comfortable with Phillips' nickname being GP.

In case there's any doubt ...

Perfect timing.

[Bones]

Might switch to the England game so we can pick up a wicket or two. Pakistan well on target.

[Chris B.]

Better get this fecker sooner rather than later!

[LABCAT]

Yep, were in desparate need of a wicket.

[Bones]

@Chris-B Is it just the racist in you that refuses to spell his name right?

[Chris B.]

Starting to look like 400 might be par!

[ACT Crusader]

Pakistan ahead of par score on DLS….

[ACT Crusader]

This rain not helping our cause, unless it passes quickly.

[Chris B.]

Hopefully the break will help us re-group.

To paraphrase Byron, it feels a bit like 1992 again!

D/L can kiss my butt. How can a team win when they are 200 behind, needing nearly 9 an over?

[Donsteppa]

The way we were bowling I don't think Duckworth Lewis could predict we were defending it either.

Pakistan were all but halfway at the halfway over mark. 202 needed off 25 overs and nine wickets in hand on that on that pitch would have been a T20 chase most teams would back themselves for.

I see we are still in 4th on net run rate...

Black Caps opened a pie shop by the sounds of things.

You know shit has gone wrong when Southee is the most economical

Boult got absolutely smashed. Our bowlers don't appear to be able to bowl a decent team out. We have problems

Indeed. Either a bit past it or not good enough in the first place
