Black Caps v India

[westcoastie]

same issue as first game - need to build partnerships for crying out loud.

[Siam]

Aahh chopped on, fuck that hurt

Please Rossco...

[Squirrel]

This is a measured innings from Munro so far

[Gunner]

Munro has been pretty disciplined so far, there a fair few balls he’s blocked that he’d normally despatch over cow corner... or into the hands of the man in the deep.

Hope he kicks on here.

Snap @Squirrel

[No Quarter]

Terrible shot, but worth a review.

[Gunner]

Fuck this Yadav is a tricky customer, never seen an international bowler with such a round arm action.

Fucking Munro.

Another non-partnership.

[westcoastie]

geezus that round arm Indian bowler just doesn't seem right.
How long before ICC mandates the arm must be no more than 30deg to the vertical

They won’t, because India.

[westcoastie]

@No-Quarter like to see that review, that seemed outside off or is it down leg, Munro changed stance

[No Quarter]

Ridiculous end to Munro's innings, absolutely no need to go for a reverse sweep slog, the partnership was building nicely. Don't think he has the temperament for anything other than T20s at this level.

[Mokey]

So how many times do Guptill and Munro get to fail as an opening partnership.

[No Quarter]

Latham is fresh off a domestic T20 ton so has a bit of form. He and Rosco need to take us beyond the 35 over mark if we want to have a chance here.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Need a big partnership out of these two or we’re pretty much screwed.

@Mokey I can’t see them making a change this close to the WC...

What are our other options?

Use Latham there, push Nicholls up to 5 and play an extra all rounder?
Worker?

I don't know about that. We still have Nicholls, CDG and Bracewell to come after these two. Any of those 5 batsmen are capable of making big scores.

CdG? he would find it difficult to be any worse than Munro.

[Gunner]

Fuck Taylor’s going to be out here.

[Mokey]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

[Gunner]

A bunch of 20s and 30s from your top order don’t win you matches.

[westcoastie]

oh thats completely bullshit
lights going off aren't out. his toe would've been down. and what the fuck happened to benefit of the doubt not a single person in the world can 100% say thats out

[Siam]

@westcoastie yeah that was too sketchy because of the definition of removing bails.

Such a miniscule lift, you can't say one way or the other what happens when bail removed. Not out in days of no technology

I've noticed the cue is now the lights and not the bails
