CWC - Black Caps v Pakistan

[Gunner]

Must say, all of our batters shot placement has been sublime today.

I’d be using Phillips, then Santner before Latham in this situation.

I think Latham before Santner but Phillips next.

Why the fuck do Pakistan keep trying to kick the ball up instead of pick it up? Did the last guy throw it down onto his foot again?

[Chris B.]

Calm down, Ian!!!

300 up before 40 overs… just

[bayimports]

Surely a minimum 80 off last 10

I'm happy enough with 45. Still noone has chased 350+ to win right?

[Chris B.]

@bayimports You can get lots off the last five if you have set and proper batsmen in.

[Damo]

Chapman might be taking his chance. I was surprised to see Young dropped and he brought in down the order. If Chapman carries on like this he might end up playing a few more.

Don’t think we have scored 400 yet this tournament, don’t think we get there, but I would be aiming for it with wickets in hand

We scored 380 odd in a losing case

Young is very much a top order player, whereas Chapman is more likely to come off batting down the order without needing to get set.

NZs highest ODI team totals

DON'T fuck this up!!!

[MN5]

Jeepers this batting first lark works out pretty good doesn’t it ?

I get that. I would just have expected Young/Conway to open then Kane/Ravindra at 3/4. That would have left no place for Chapman.

The balance of the current team might be better.

What’s going with Phillip’s Bollywood moves before each ball?, like watching an Elvis on someone’s dashboard

[Bones]

@bayimports haha yeah weird huh. Helmet not sitting right?

Anyway time to launch fellas, enough fannying about.

[Bones]

Geezuz Chapman, not even close.

[Chris B.]

Shit!

Launched four balls too soon!

I wanted us to go berserk in the last five overs. Now Mitch needs to take a few balls.
