CWC Game #9 Black Caps v England
-
Must admit to feeling the air in my world cup tricycle leaking a but of late.
Resigned myself to a team with a few limitations (surprise surprise nz cricket), mathematically limping into the semis and praying for a Bradbury-esque heist (there's a transporters pun in there if you're sad enough to know bats😒) or just another semi that looks good on paper...again.
Now lockies out and the tyres just lost a bit more
So Carrn you Blackcaps and the mark of Kane - turn me into a doubting Thomas fool once more, and play out your skin thus fulfilling our duty to world cricket and putting a nail in the Pom coffin as penance for their years and years of cricket slavery, before the benevolent and generous BCCI took over.
Would be a good one to win

150 run loss incoming
We've been keeping Southee's powder dry for this exact match. 7-for coming up.

Also, with any luck Boult's hatrick has shot him right back into form and he rips the English a new one.

Couldn't one of the WAGs given Lockie some 'treatment'?

Those who are able?
Jesus...

Daily Torygraph says Wassim after first game gave him some advice on feet and swing is back!

That's probably what caused the injury in the first place!

Wassim you say, well that's great just as long as he's more discreet than the Aussies were.
-
Nearly got him first ball!
Shit keeping.
-
I don't mind the tactic. These two like the pace so taking that away could frustrate them...
....provided Santner doesn't dish up wide full tosses....
-
@reprobate OK yeah it's swinging so let's ditch the Santner experiment immediately.

i reckon it's a horrible tactic. we've got boult. we've got southee who is a swing-only bowler, and henry who is a new ball only bowler. those blokes at least should have had a couple before this.
I agree, waste of an over. We need to swing it and take wickets. It won't swing as much later.

England on track for a score of close to 400 ffs.
