Yes yes yes

 

[Furball]

Didn't consider not having Anderson in the field when weighing up Jimmeh vs Timmeh tbf.

 

[Zinzan]

Well, Guptill and Ronchi will never score runs against Broad and Anderson when there's a hint of movement.

Our inability to pick real batsmen is our downfall.

Ronchi is a complete and utter waste of space. McCullum is supposed to be keeping in the short-form ffs. NZ deserve to lose on that decision alone. All the idiots who said Ronchi should have been a shoo-in.

Sahweeet...

 

[Furball]

With a bit of luck this will get the runner rule reviewed.

Nothing wrong with the runner rule.

yup.

I don't mind a Ronchi selection purely as a keeper, but having him open is utter suicide.

 

[GIMH]

Good over that. Jimmy hat trick to finish things up now.

 

[Furball]

Good **** Bres, sorry I doubted you.

 

[Zinzan]

yup.

When we have a perfectly good keeper-batsman? Totally waste of a selection.

yeah...and even if McCullum wasn't keeping, Watling has performed well in ODIs recently anyway.

Just a very strange selection.

 

[Furball]

That wasn't a wide.

 

[hendrix]

re Ronchi opening: if we want a pinch hitter we could send any of NcCullum, Mills, (Southee if playing) or Franklin up the order.

 

[Zinzan]

That wasn't a wide.

Yeah it was only 2 feet wide of the wide line

 

[GIMH]

Woooooo

 

[grecian]

MOTM? Jimmeh for me, great spell first up swung the match. They'll give it to Cook though.

 

[Zinzan]

Pile of *** from NZ. If they can't beat this very average English side, they wouldn't have got any further in the comp anyway.

 

[Furball]

Yeah it was only 2 feet wide of the wide line

NCullum was standing 2 feet outside off stump. It beat his outside edge.

 

[Meridio]

Rubbish. Was a garbage last over by Anderson too. Full tosses, half-volleys and wides.

 

[Daemon]

3 wides, two full tosses in the last over, England really need a death bowler.
