6th June - Group A - England v New Zealand

[wpdavid]

Decent over by Boult at this stage of the game.

Man I wish Ball was bowling to Buttler here

 

[91Jmay]

Plunkett so valuable to this team.

Gotta love Soult being such gun fielders. Don't think I've seen any quicks as good as them in the field.

Anderson is quality, not as good as Boult but about the same as Southee I reckon.

 

[wpdavid]

Not too clever by Wood. Surely he should have putting Buttler back in strike.

EDIT
And England pay the price. Not smart at all.

Anyway, we'l have to see how well we n bowl on this track. Is Stokes fit enugh to bowl?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Well ****ed up England. Thrown away 10 runs there.

 

[StephenZA]

Buttler showing how good this Eng batting line-up is... great innings from him.

Pity about the last 2 balls.....

 

[Daemon]

Ball needs some throwdowns, **** was that?

 

[MW1304]

Those last few balls could really **** us.

 

[91Jmay]

Shite from Wood there, idiotic batting cost us a few runs however we shouldn't really have made 310 from where we were. Boult/Southee really good at the death though.

Good effort, probably only around par so will have to bowl better than they have done. Guptil/Williamson as usual dictate the game from here.

 

[MW1304]

Considering how many of our batsmen look in great touch (especially nice to have Jos back), it's not really good enough.

 

[straw man]

Could be a pretty even chase if the rain stays away.

 

[Meridio]

Does us bowling England out have any effect on over rate ban rules?

Not sure why it would since we're about half an hour over but sometimes these things have some strange quirks.

I think it's when the last over starts isn't it? Or is that just T20?

 

[WalkingWicket]

England maybe 20, 25 runs short, considering England's lacklustre bowling and NZ's batting. An early wicket - preferably of Guptill - will be key.

Surely they have to factor that 10 wickets fell. An extra 12-15 minutes than if it the opposition lost 5 wickets.

I would've thought the total time allocated to bowl 50 overs would include allowance for all 10 wickets to fall (i.e. assume the last batsman gets out off the last ball).

Not sure how they interpret it.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, it is going to be touch and go. Was 2 reviews as well, and England may be responsible for some of the delay. I can't really remember. It is pretty shoddy to be that far behind though, especially as innings should have ended when England were 6 down.
