Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[MajorRage]

I'm so fucking thirsty. This is driving me nuts.

Wife about to get back from school run with the kids. Could be about to get rough.

[MajorRage]

@bones She sounds british but if you listen to what she says, there's no doubt she's part of the Indian worship club.

Has been taken off now though, I guess as we've scored a few runs, her scoreboard pressure commentary has lost some of its lustre.

How gutted must Macca be? Finished his last comms stint just before, and straight off to the airport to fly home.

[Bones]

@majorrage oh it's not even the hot one from last year, who at least could have been mistaken for Indian.

[sparky]

Test Match Cricket is super exciting, super tense sport. Who knew?

[sparky]

84-2. 55 to win. 23 overs left. Weather and light fine.

[Bones]

@majorrage if it's at all of interest, which anything else is right now....it's Ebony-Jewel Cora-Lee Camellia Rosamond Rainford-Brent.

Not Isa Guha who I thought it was.

It is tense for us because it cant only be butchered from here but I wonder how it is for the neutral. The win predictor is 96% to 2% and if the situation was reversed I would have very little hope avoiding victory even with our seamers.

wow, that's a terrible drop. Could have gone to the helmet as well.

Pujara the culprit

[sparky]

Taylor dropped at first slip.

[MajorRage]

Sorry guys, its because my family came home. I maintained my same standing spot though, which clearly caused the drop.

Thank me later.

Thank you for being the reason we win.

[MajorRage]

She's back. And she's talking dot balls already.

[Bones]

Did Kane just do a little girly jump?

[MajorRage]

Nothing to add. But need to post.

[pakman]

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail...

[sparky]

Gawd. We've been here before.

Watching Andrew Mehrtens line up that drop goal attempt at Ellis Park in 1995.

The last moments at Loftus in 1996 before Fitzy thumped the floor.

All of that tense second half that we thought would never end at Eden Park in 2011 before the wicked witch was dead.

Twickenham 2015 and waiting to see what card Nigel Owens would give BFA.

Lords 2019, Stokes and Butler and the Super Oval.

Nerves shredded.

[sparky]

50 to win.

[sparky]

Taylor hit on the head by one that took off.
