CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[canefan]

I can't help but think we've made another error in judgement. I hope to be proved wrong. Anyone know of a good free stream? Mine is clunky

[Donsteppa]

Looking at that cloud cover very very nervously...

Timmy to be a late call-up and getting 7 wickets?

I'd be inclined to bowl first as you get two chances, so to speak.

That's not even remotely funny

Bowl. Have Henry and Boult rip out Ranga 1 and that fluffybunny Roy, then trap Ranga 2 at the non striker's end while his team collapses around him

Does your country even play cricket ?

Go England.

[No Quarter]

Here we go...

[Damo]

Slightly odd decision to bat first. Cloudy conditions and a slightly green pitch would have suited our bowlers nicely.

Still, Kane read the pitch perfectly last game so we have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[Donsteppa]

Batting first will look either genius or hide-behind-the-couch territory very soon...

[Donsteppa]

Hurrah! On the board from a wide!

[No Quarter]

Guppy having a go, hold on to your hats! Fair bit of swing there...

[Rapido]

Lol at Baz in comms. Loving the wild swing and miss first ball.

[Stockcar86]

All four group games at Lord’s won by the team batting first - comfortably, too.

[Damo]

Ball swinging and a touch off the pitch. Think we need to get through a few overs and then have a go.

Guppy does not agree with that assessment though.

[No Quarter]

Guppy gets one away into the wet outfield - good.

[mariner4life]

Aus panel gave us zero love. We are massive underdogs

[Rembrandt]

Worked most of today and now hopefully some reward for it!

[Donsteppa]

Negotiated the first over! Better than the MCG...

[Chris B.]

Ha - Guppy's already four times as good as against India - and way better than Finch!

[junior]

Batting first is our best bet to win, IMO. We're a better defending team and England have had their difficulties chasing in this tournament. However, it could just as easily go the way of 2015...

[Donsteppa]

Guppy a little too desperate to get off strike there...

[No Quarter]

They acted like that was obviously out and then.... No review. Hah. Didn't look out live.
