41st Match - England v New Zealand

[Spintolose]

Santner's been really poor today. Could've been so different if that first ball had taken the stumps, but since then he's bowled a boundary ball or two an over.

At least he can bat a bit. So at least he's not NZ's Rashid.

Too depressing for me sorry

Went for a few in his three overs in the last game too, at the point we started to take the foot off the throat.

I don't know about cricket scores but the 420 is on here.

 

[Meridio]

And a drop by Latham - not the first one this tournament. Haven't had much of a replay yet but looked very catchable.

It's looking ominous.

I turn the telly back on to see Root has a nose bleed. Anxiety induced no doubt

Of course. Just like Australia and New Zealand did in 2015 when they produced a World Cup that had even higher scoring rates than this one. It's how non-nerds view white ball cricket.

Have no idea what you mean by this, but good on you for thinking that England would have preferred to produce batting paradises if their batting was weak. Personally I don't buy it.

NZ to pull it back a little and Eng to struggle to 342

Southee bowls a nice little 125 kmh half volley that gets duely biffed for 6. Seriously, there’s being rusty and then there’s being not even match fit. This shunt should never play ODI cricket, and Athlai should feel bad about himself for ever thinking otherwise.

Sorry OS, didn't see you had 341 when I picked 342, totally random

Lol what? They're scoring at 6.5 an over and you're complaining about the odd dot ball?

You sadist you
