9th Match - New Zealand v England

[Jono]

this break is a great example of why cricket is the stupidest sport in the world.

 

[Zinzan]

McCullum has a great ODI record vs. the Poms



Edit: Guptill's isn't bad either

 

[Cabinet96]

ban these ****s from limited overs cricket.

Why just limited overs stuff?

 

[OverratedSanity]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHA when they took that innings break i just lost it. Quintessential cricket stupidity. Also lolEngland, obviously.

Cos if we ban you from tests we need to ban the team that couldn't last against you ****s for 3 days, and that would mean banning Kohli

India are legit the only side who have struggled against England in any form of cricket for 18 months, and you got absolutely pelted. Think you need banning as well tbh.

Did you not watch the recent tri series??? If they ban Eng from ODI's then India (and Kohli) have to go first ****.

 

[Cabinet96]

Btw, it's lucky Finn got his mojo back blowing away a non existent India middle/lower order, otherwise he might've got some tap today.

 

[Antihippy]

Michael Carberry giving it the big talk like he didn't just stand there and block the **** out of it when the going got tough in the Ashes.

I mean it is 2 different formats.

This has been beautiful to watch (albeit on cricinfo...so not really watching). Morgan should be sacked for giving Finn the hook when he was so close to bringing up his 50 off just 13 balls.

At the game atm one of my favourite days of cricket period.

When he got to 4 wickets he got warm applause from the section on the point boundary at the end of his over. I thought to myself we can do better than that Wellington.
Then he got 5 and they moved him in front of us at third man at the end of his over and we gave him a standing ovation, that's how it's done you slackers on the point boundary,
Then he got 6 and I remember thinking hadlee would be proud of this effort.
And then it started the hair stood up on my arms as they chanted S O U T H E E - S O U T H E E
Hadlee had his chant with the beer cans and now this kid from Northland has the beginnings of his.
McCullums 70 was fun to watch but this was an ATG bowling performance.

Take a bow Tim Southee you are a once in a generation bowler from this country.

Those were glorified warm-ups. Show up for the actual tournament when the world is watching ffs

 

[Pratters]

Oh deary me, England.

McCullum is in terrific form.

Meh. Run rate wasn't the issue today, we got bowled out in 33 overs. The point I think he's making is that if you're aggressive and unorthodox it puts them off their areas and makes it easier for you, or something. So I don't see how it's that different from longer stuff.

Well England's mindset to Test batting has been way too defensive for ages now as well, so it isn't really

The innings break should always be the tea break ffs. I don't care if you're downing your Earl Grey at 3:30 because England sucks that badly, this mid-innings break is ****ing stupid in ODI cricket.

Yeah it's understandable in club cricket when you have some punter making the food for a specific time, but these are (presumably) professional chefs. Just have an idea what's going on in the game and it shouldn't be an issue.

 

[_Ed_]

Required run rate is a challenging 0.29.

Yeah, and club cricket isn't specifically split into two sessions to perfectly fit each innings, is it?
