*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Zinzan]

and williams

What a moment when Williams hit that winning 6 in the WC. Great banter in the comm-box.

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, England have scored 300 and everyone thinks they're way short. What a time to be alive.

serena or venus?

 

[Zinzan]

300 is the new 125, NZ's game.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

By 0.04 of a run. And yes NcCullum is bowling in an era of faster run rates, but it's also fairly evident that Patel has improved heaps since he last played ODI cricket.

Ha. I checked first. McCullums rpo took a hammering in the last two games. And the era of run rates...

 

[Jono]

lol, runs on the board and all that, but that's just ridiculous from England.

NZ heavily favoured with bookies at around 1.7ish now. What a turn of events.

Is it even this, per se? The major issue is being bowled out in 45.

Huh?

Id take 500 bowled out in 30 overs.

Sean obviously.

To be fair, if they don't take 10 wickets there's little chance of them winning.

 

[JediNudist]

It's a weird world when 300 is considered a bad score.

I was thinking that too.The way England reacted you would think they had been bowled out for 200.
300 used to be a death sentance chasing, now its a very gettable total.

 

[MW1304]

No, as in we were set for a score much higher only to be bowled out with a lot of time left to build that score. Not that 300 is bad in itself.

 

[Zinzan]

Last 5 wickets, 14 runs. Trying to think of worse 1st innings collapses.

 

[JediNudist]

I dont think England have the bowlers to get NZ out. NZ will.have to self destruct.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

I think in honour of McCullum rewriting test and odi cricket they should be renamed:

Test Cricket Mac
One Day Cricket Mac.

The ramp shot is the Mac Scoop, McScoop if you know him personally.

 

[JediNudist]

Watching Alan Border on Cricket Legends during the break.

I think Wood is capable of generating a collapse if he fires and gets Baz early. Good pace and shape.

 

[Zinzan]

Yup, I have a feeling Wood could be a handful on this deck.

 

[Antihippy]

It is gettable now, but it is in no way a bad score even now.

Though england did lose by 9 wickets to sri lanka defending 300 in the world cup.

 

[Zinzan]

Let's not forget the leg-spinner had us in knots at Edgbaston either.
