Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[booboo]

I asked this on day one.

Does me going to bed result in a wicket (as it invariably does if the opposition are batting...

... fuck Latho dropped! ...

)

Or does it mean I miss awesome NZ batting?

I'm going to take a punt on the latter.

Good luck all.

See you on the other side.

PS shot Roscoe!

fark, he makes it look easy. One of our all time greats

Edit: and an astonishingly poor runner for someone with as many runs as he has

What are we thinking?

Quickfire 120, set them 300 to win in say 80 overs?

I guess so. I'd have settled for batting practice. Then again, no championship points on this so why not practice trying to squeeze out a win?

Good challenge and a great no fear attitude. Cool👍

Unless it's just Rossco trying to bash himself into form.

I think we go hard. A test win is a test win regardless of WTC. It also gives more players a go if we lose a few wickets.

Ross just went 'ping'. Great strike

@nzzp that is and always will be the quintessential Taylor shot!🙂

[Snowy]

That is also why umpires call is bullshit.

[Siam]

That Latham hoik must indicate we're setting a target...I hope

Untill it works for us😉

At least we don't lose a review i guess

I really didn't put that well. If we use tech, we use it. Out is out. Whatever the umpire has said I don't think is as accurate as the tech.

[voodoo]

Looks we are thinking about having a go at this

[Siam]

@snowy you mean just dispense with the margin of error consideration? Fair enough. Would that mean tv review of every decision though? Again, no argument from me but it'd take time

[Siam]

@voodoo bat for one session, use 2 to roll them i guess

Yes to the reviews from teams or umps. Not every decision.

Also yes to the game position.

[Siam]

@snowy we'd have to review every single appeal though wouldn't we?

Sub continent.....?

Will be fun whatever the result!

[sparky]

Set them 300+ to win. Lots more cloud today so the ball will swing.

Possibility of rain and dodgy light this afternoon that might come to England's rescue:
