CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India
-
I'm actually happy with the start given how well Bumrah bowled. We didn't lose a bunch of wickets and we now have two set players at the crease, which is a far cry from the last few matches.
Still a massive task ahead but at least we haven't lost the game already.
-
@No-Quarter Lockie wouldn't, the other 3 would. A team with both Bumrah and Boult in it, with Bhuvi/Shami available, plus the Indian wrist spinners?
-
Ball after ball at the top of Kane's off stump for dots and he's doing nothing to try and break it up. As loath as I am to criticise the great man, he needs to do a little more.

Why?
He's 20 off 32 balls. If he's still there in 30 overs I have no doubt that he'll be scoring at well over run a ball.

Because 250 is not going to be enough.

Vettori reckoned we needed to dominate the first ten overs. Well we haven't done that but i guess at least one of the openers are still in.
We haven't had the cattle to dominate the first 10 overs in a long time, Vettori is living in the past. Our best bet is to conserve wickets and finish strong.

Have some patience for goodness sake. He's building an innings.

An in form Guptill can do that. But agree that without him firing build and launch is the better strategy.

9 from that over without taking a risk.
We should aim to be around the 200 mark at the 40th and then throw caution to the wind.

300 won't be enough vs a side that's used to playing on slow pitches that deteriorate
This is a matter of NZ batting 50 overs & hoping for a miracle
Reality is how many many wickets India lose in their inevitable victory

Yeah, we're all well aware of how good India is. They did come first after all.
But, runs on the board and an early wicket or two... pressure does funny things to people...
