CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[canefan]

You'd swear Latham was the new batsman if you'd just tuned in now

[Damo]

I think it's time to decide whether they think 250 is enough or 280 is required. We could coast to 250 pretty easily from here, but if we want 280 we'll need to take some risks - and might fall in a heap and make 220.

[booboo]

Counting the Beat ...

[Mokey]

@canefan In that he has made so little contribution with the bat this whole tournament, I'd say two catches and two runouts at a bare minimum.

I would take the 250, tbh.

Latham finally connects...

[Mokey]

@booboo Far too slow. They need a zing. Let's get I See Red blaring.

[canefan]

If we are going to post a score worth defending these two need to stay around until at least the mid 40 over mark

[reprobate]

it never inspires confidence in the bat first decision when you see lower order batsmen come in and middle it more than the top order. maybe a bit harsh on these blokes, they're middle order really, but the ball is not moving around so much anymore.
c'mon fellas, smash a few.

[booboo]

@Mokey oh fuck Loyal.

We're sunk

If we bowl well I think 250 will be tough on this deck

[Mokey]

@booboo Fucking English bastards.

[Donsteppa]

Who do we need to send to bed or demand to moves seats to get this back on track?

Just keep taking it late for now.

I think 150/3 after 35 would have been OK, but we've lost a wicket too many.

Batting conditions are better than against India, so 250 sounds a bit like plucky losers - but we could ice the cake with some big overs late if we've got firepower in hand.

[Mokey]

@Donsteppa Boo has to go to bed. Or at least threaten to.

I'll take one for the team.

Not so sure.10 overs of CDG might be what we need.

@Godder I tried it, it’s overrated. Couldn’t sleep a wink, so here I am.
