T20 WC - Black Caps v West Indies

[No Quarter]

WI have passed 75 so we're going to have to bat better than we did last game

[Windows97]

Theyre inching closer to 100 runs and the winning of the game with our batting lineup

[Cyclops]

I like the aggression bowling out Southee now. Big decision about when to use Boult and Fergus last. I'd probably mix up two overs over santner with those two and hope that we don't have bowl the full 20 (which would have to be neesh or santner)

[No Quarter]

Going to be a tricky chase

[No Quarter]

They comms are pretty down on WI but I think they've done enough to be competitive on a poor pitch.

SURELY our batting line up can’t shit the bed as bad as a few days ago.

Are you new to watching the Black Caps?

[No Quarter]

120+ is difficult on a pitch with variable bounce. We'll do well to chase this down.

[MN5]

Boult and Southee with some really nice figures, excellent for a pair of geriatrics !

[No Quarter]

This over is really costing us unfortunately

[SouthernMann]

Williamson has had a shocker here managing his bowlers. They could sneak to 150 in a worst case scenario

If he was any more passive, he'd be Tom Latham. Somehow we've ended up with some pretty pedestrian captaincy options.

[No Quarter]

Wonderful innings from Rutherford and WI have done brilliantly to get such a big total on this pitch. They are hot favourites now.

[Windows97]

We'll never chase down this mamoth total!! Why it's over twice as many runs we scored in our first game..

[Cyclops]

I don't understand how we managed to end up needing Mitchell to bowl the 19th. Awful.

[Donsteppa]

I'd like to think that being useless and bundled out of a World Cup early might shake up NZ Cricket.

But given what NZC have tolerated over the last two home summers, and how they also run the White Ferns, it's probably wishful thinking...

Ending up with Mitchell and Santner bowling the last two overs is an absolute fail as a captain.

[Chris B.]

Mitch and Mitch get smoked at the end.

Kane tried a BMac - bowl out your best bowlers and hope not to have to use the weak links. Unfortunately, the best bowlers only got nine wickets and Rutherford was there to punish us at the end.

[Windows97]

We need 37.5 edges past the keeper to thrid man or past the stumps to fine leg to win this game, which I fear is 17.5 edges too many...

We'll likely manage ten inside edges onto middle & leg...
