*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Howe_zat]

We can moan but no other sport has a match come down to batsmen bowling to bowlers who need to score a target set by a computer because of a curfew now do they

 

[GGG]

Surely you would go with N McCullum

 

[Howe_zat]

They got it wrong, looks like. "Grant Elliot and Mitchell Santner have come down the stairs for a few warm-up deliveries so it looks like those two will bowl the final two overs... " is the update from them.

Yeah. So in effect the rain break has made England safely see off Southee for fewer runs than they'd have liked. Which is pretty even

 

[Furball]

Quality commentary from Smith.

 

[Ferraz]

Needs a chance to get his ton

Edit: On the way....

 

[Furball]

He's gotten away with that. McCullum bowling absolute trash this over.

 

[Athlai]

How does that work? In any other situation in a 46 over innings one guy is allowed 10 overs, the rest a maximum of 9.

Cricinfo wrong clearly.

 

[Spark]

Momentum-killer far more important than DL tbh. Just taken all the air out of the game.

 

[Howe_zat]

lousy trecharous satan

 

[Furball]

That's amazing tbf.

 

[Spark]

Man, that's magnificent with a slippery ball

 

[Cabinet96]

Ha, that's amazing. Best opening bowling partnership in the field, of all time. No joke.

 

[Howe_zat]

I hate cricket

 

[Scaly piscine]

A tight game made nigh on unwinnable for England. Thanks D/L

 

[Moss]

Boult for MoM?

 

[Furball]

Should stop hosting ODIs in London if they can't sort this curfew farce. We've been cheated out of a proper finish, this just feels like an exhibition to placate the crowd because the main event's been called off.

 

[Athlai]

Get rekt

Tbh it'd feel a bit like this even if all the overs got in, just the break was a massive buzzkill

 

[Spark]

jesus grant, a no ball for height would have been farcically bad

Probably, but there was a proper run chase developing.

I'm just pissed off that because there's absolutely no reason to shorten the match. There's lights, get the 4 overs in ffs.
