CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[No Quarter]

One more note: the start is going to be really important. If we can smack 30 or 40 runs then momentum will be with us. If India roll us cheaply then they'll be very confident.

[MajorRage]

Boult & Ferguson seem to be bandied about as the key craps.

Not in Manchester, and not a cricketer of note, but it looks a bloody good morning to be bowling here.

(is that the most irrelevant comment ever on TSF?)

Well if Henry is on form he might be dangerous too

@Hooroo Lord have mercy. New drinking game to get shitfaced in 5 mins: shot for every time she referred to her husband as Gup or Guppy.

Yup, he's a real wicket taker when he's in a good rhythm, gets plenty of movement off the pitch. Which is why he has such a good strike rate and average.

So one thing I'm unclear on is what happens once our innings finishes. Do they have a full lunch break, or is there a shortened change of innings? Seems weird to start for 15 minutes or whatever it takes and then bugger off for half an hour.

Probably not unlike the second day of a test if a team is 9 down. I imagine any break will be minimal

Nicholls being interviewed....interesting to hear only 2 totals of 250+ have been chased down in the tournament.

I'd say in the interests of wanting to get India over the 20 over mark so it's seen as a fair game, they would be against a long innings break.

Both - a short innings break, then lunch at the normal time.

Your cricket knowledge in the last month or so has been nothing short of staggering

Hopefully these guys can hit a few into the MAX zone.

[No Quarter]

We're running well between the wickets but we really need a boundary or three.

Yeah nice one NQ...

[No Quarter]

That's some bullshit

[Squirrel]

As far as Taylor run outs go, that's one of the better ones

[Bones]

@booboo go to bed.

[Donsteppa]

O for Awesome.

[Mokey]

Fark the Craps are tough to support sometimes. Two shit dismissals in two balls.

[Mokey]

@Bones Or at least threaten to so we can get some fours.
