9th Match - New Zealand v England

[Zinzan]

Holy ***, that6 was a yorker.

Weird so far. Apart form two peaches from Southee, NZ have been quite loose. Boult looks fairly innocuous.

 

[SilentOne]

what the **** is wrong with the commentator microphones? ****ing terrible.

 

[Athlai]

Whats wrong with Mark Richardson's voice? lol.

Eating all of England's cake. Southee delivered it in the 5th over.

 

[jonbrooks]

That was a pretty poor shot by Moeen.

 

[Prince EWS]

No Woakes option? Rigged.

 

[Contra]

That was a pretty poor shot by Moeen.

He was really late on it, awesome delivery but the guy has issues if he's gonna play like that.

 

[Cabinet96]

Re that poll, I think it's Anderson in ODI's these days tbh. Probably not in tests though, weirdly.

 

[Zinzan]

This seems like a "hit the pitch hard" type wicket for bowlers. So may have actually suited Mitch & Finn should bowl well for England.

 

[Athlai]

Anderson, Boult, Southee Broad

Thats a hard one.

I'd personally go

Southee
Broad
Anderson
Boult

And pretty much reverse it in England conditions. (but Anderson on top)

 

[MAD MAX]

time for milne to show he is the right third seamer in this game and back up southee boult combo

 

[Goughy]

135kph looks quick on this pitch

""Its really harsh for NZ to lose a review for that.. few more millimetres lower and that was out rather than umpires call" Jono, that's why he shouldn't have reviewed it. DRS is for howlers not milimetre calls "

 

[Zinzan]

At least England have a good RR early on so they can consolidate for the next 10, even if it means going at 3.5-4 an over.

Jono is an incredibly common name/nickname in Australia and NZ.

I'd argue if the umpire thinks it's even clipping the stumps it should be given out.

That's probably a lot for these two.

Yup, build it up with the cake, then launch with the icing . Cake Tin has short boundaries.

Was that Southee LBW an umpire's call if we had a review left? I'm stuck at work.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Nah it was out.

It would have been out.
