CWC Game #9 Black Caps v England
-
@Donsteppa I kinda get it. Fuck the cricket, it's been a bit shit. Why not ignore it for a few days and just roll up for the semi. Everyone knows you get better if you don't train. Besides it's only the world cup.

No pressure, no expectatoins - too easy bro
We're now well placed for the Colins to smash a collective 150 off 100, and we get 350, then roll the Aussies with some filthy medium pace. Can't wait

I dont rate Stead as a coach/selector and think the Black Caps could be heading for some dark times.
Yep. I wasn't happy when he was chosen as Hesson's replacement. Bradburn was my choice. At least he knows how to coach a team to beat England.
We need to find a better batting coach than the departing McMillan too.
I didn't see any of the match after checking the current score when getting home late last night (161/1 IIRC). Entirely predictable when I heard the result this morning.
If it's going to be Aust In the SF show some fuckin' aggression and take the game to them - win or lose.
need some motherfuckers to channel one CZ Harris from 1996. Actually Germon too. That's about digging in and giving yourself a chance even when things have started disastrously.
We lost that :(. Mark Waugh.

@Donsteppa I'm getting flashbacks to a certain event that didn't happen in 2007.

Good bit of banter on the radio this morning - you've got the ability to add any NZ player from any era into the team. Who would it be and why? who do they come in for?
I agreed with Jason Pine and opted for Bond. Nato had Hadlee and Kent was plugging for Astle. I know we are desperate for runs at the moment but at least a bowler can give you 10 overs.. unless he's getting spanked of course.
Discuss.

@Paekakboyz An opener who doesn't farking suck.

It'd have to be Crowe for me, our batting has been diabolical. Crowe, Kane & Rosco would at least score enough runs each game to make us competitive.

BMac! Any day of the week. He would strengthen the top order and would lead in the field and wouldn't drop catches or muff up runouts.

Flem.
Great captain. Best World Cup innings by a New Zealander. Both things we need.

I'm not much of a cricket fan, but it has to be Hadlee or Bond right? Restricting the oppositions runs is better than having a batsmen who might need to chase big runs on his own.

I'd be happy with Guptill c2015 WC at the moment.
lets face it, 1 guy, no matter how good, is going to help.
If you compare our XI now to our XI in 2015, is there an upgrade anywhere? Maybe Ferguson as the 3rd seamer? Kane might be a bit better now? Other than that? Who would you put from now in to 2015 to help win that final? But ask that question the other way...

I'd take 2019 Kane and Taylor over the 2015 versions. Remember that Taylor was struggling with that eye problem and wasn't full force.
I'd also take either of our keeping options over Luke Ronchi and 2019 Boult too. Remember that 2015 was Boult's breakthrough into the ODI side (he had a similar rep prior to then that he couldn't bowl at the death).
By the same measure, who would you take into this squad from 2015? I'd have Southee, Vettori and McCullum, and replace de Grandhomme with either Elliot or Anderson.

Taylor is fair i guess, but both versions are pretty ordinary.
Boult took more wickets in 2015 than he has in this tournament, at better averages.
2015 McCullum
2015 Guptill
2019 Kane
2019 Rossco
2015 Jav
2019 Neesh
2019 Latham
2015 Vettori
2015 Tim
2015 Boult
2019 FergusonBut Latham and Rossco are best of a bad lot picks
