*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

Taylor's ODI stats of the past. 4 years are very different to my impression of his ODI batting form.

Here's a question. This is a D/N ODI. There are floodlights.

Can someone explain the logic if we get back out there and the game gets shortened?

Blame the locals who demand a curfew

TV schedules. Sole reason. They wouldn't be curfewed until 11.

Edit: might be wrong as its London.

 

[Athlai]

Has to restart in half an hour apparently.

I mean did anybody think Taylor had been that good?

 

[Zinzan]

What a tease..

8.35pm Still raining I'm afraid so no restart imminent. We have until 8.51pm before we start losing overs and the ultimate cut-off time is 9.15pm. But having said that, the groundstaff are out there trying to be busy and it does look as if it might have now stopped raining. Remarkable two minutes here! And there's applause as the covers begin to be peeled back. But now the fourth umpire Michael Gough puts his umbrella back up!

 

[LegionOfBrad]

We start losing overs at 8:51.

 

[GGG]

Serious question, was anyone expecting Santner to be much above turdbucket status as a bowler?

Hoping, still wouldn't right him off in a game where almost everyone is going for runs.

Pretty sure it happens elsewhere.

So stupid to lose that amount of overs. We don't need to wait 20 mins if the rain has stopped now? ****ing idiotic.

34 off 13 is not going to happen.

 

[Pothas]

Why not a later cut off point as well, we have lights.

 

[Furball]

34 from 13 balls then.

Seems a bit off.

 

[Spark]

Pretty sure it happens elsewhere.

Not at 9:10pm with sunlight in the sky though.

 

[Cabinet96]

You're not allowed out past 11 on Friday nights in London.

File it under "dumb **** that only happens in cricket."

 

[Scaly piscine]

Completely D/L shafted. Presumably though the 3 seamers are effectively bowled out in one ball's time.

 

[Harrier]

That Duckworth Lewis.... 34 runs off 13 balls. Seriously? So we lose 24 balls but only 20 runs are taken off the target! That settles that then.

 

[Furball]

How does 54 from 37 go to 34 from 13 ffs?

 

[91Jmay]

Would think we should need 25 at most off 13, think the target is a bit harsh.
