[Athlai]

Wonky!

 

[BeeGee]

Finally Ronchi takes one off NcCullum.

 

[Flem274*]

nicely done from wonky and nccullum

 

[BeeGee]

Borren and T Cooper. This could get interesting.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Mills is such a dire fielder. Hey was that a touch of turn there?

 

[Athlai]

Yeah this is an important partnership here. The Dutch could still get a big score.

 

[Flem274*]

f bomb

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Williamson didn't work last time baz

 

[ohnoitsyou]

And theres all nates good work undone

 

[Flem274*]

KW is a much better troll bowler in tests because he tries to attack. he's not really a jammy darter which is what makes for a good part time spinner in T20.

 

[BeeGee]

This is some good hitting.

 

[BeeGee]

NZ and Australia both have the same problem. Our bowlers suck on these pitches, so we're always conceding big scores.

 

[Furball]

Is it just me or is McCullum stupid for not bowling Mills' quota, whether that's 2, 3 or 4 overs, before around the 12th/13th over?

 

[Meridio]

Our length is rubbish. Bowl some yorkers ffs.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Into the tail

 

[Athlai]

Is it just me or is McCullum stupid for not bowling Mills' quota, whether that's 2, 3 or 4 overs, before around the 12th/13th over?

Yeah we've been arguing this for years but he has admittedly been decent in the death lately.

 

[Furball]

Booooo

His captaincy has been all over the place this tournament. Kanes over, not bowling neesh earlier, not bowling mills and boult out early.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Let see your yorker here boult

 

[BoyBrumby]

specialist token australian*

he had a go at the anthem today. pretty token effort but he was mouthing the words. more than some of the netherlands players did.

Do the Netherlands even have any Dutchmen anymore?

Back in the day they were pretty much solidly real cloggers, now they've gone down the Aussie/Kiwi/Yarp avec Dutch antecedents route.

Seems as if Tommy got the cricket genes from the Cooper family pool, anyway.
