CWC Game #2 Black Caps vs Bangladesh

[Crucial]

Still an evens game waiting for the piece of the day that will swing the outcome one way or another. Could be some fireworks with the batting or a quick bag (from either side).
It has been more like a test day until now.

[Victor Meldrew]

Some tight bowling & fielding in the last 10 overs has dragged the run rate down

Would feel happier if we knocked off a Bangle wicket or two.

Classic dig at Smithy from Nasser....

Smithy recommends the London Eye but suggest you don't go on it with him. You'll either be going very slow or very fast....

[Crucial]

How is it that after all these years Kane and Rosco cant work out their running?

Let off from very sloppy keeping there

[Victor Meldrew]

@Crucial

That was an insane over wasn't it?

[Victor Meldrew]

Good to see Ross Taylor giving the DRS system and umpire/TMO comms a good test....

Matt Henry is the leading wicket taker in the tournament with seven.
After a really nervy period including several near run outs, a near catch and a smattering of good shots in between, Rosco and Kane have settled in and are both now well set with less than half the total to be run down. Hopefully one of these two can get a hundred (Taylor now on 52 and Williamson on 35) and make this a comprehensive win.

I blame the camouflage the Bangles are wearing.

Hang on! I blame you!

[No Quarter]

You guys are using the wrong thread, sheesh.

CdG won't want a close finish here, could be some fireworks coming up shortly.

[No Quarter]

Also why the hell did so many players hole out chasing a small total. Braindead.

It's baffling - if only they would just listen to BMac on commentary who is admonishing them for trying to push the tempo. I thought he would have been very happy with the skipper scoring 40 runs then chipping out.

[No Quarter]

Colin decides to leave the door ajar with an awful shot to get out...

[No Quarter]

Neesh holes out too. We're going to lose.

Awful cricket all round.

[Gunner]

Fucking muppets. Making hard work of this

[Donsteppa]

Batting panic stations with six and a half overs still to go... madness...

[No Quarter]

26 from 38 is an absolute cake walk. What are we doing.

[Cyclops]

I expect Colin to go big or go home, and a bit of pinch hitting in that situation is understandable, but Jimmy just needed to bat it out. The run rate is so friendly.
