Final - England v New Zealand

[slippy888]

Amateur stuff from New Zealand this is a chasing type pitch ffs

 

[Cabinet96]

That’s just plumb

Guptill isn’t one of the top 6 Kiwis so why waste a review?

Err...

 

[DriveClub]

Good toss to lose eh

Looks a real green top

 

[straw man]

Helped by the openers sitting on the crease line (apart from Guppy's 6 off Archer).

Yeah the Guptill wicket shot was a reversion to his old plan - just like test cricket he plays early and hard and is a sitting duck if it moves. Would've been better to keep walking at Woakes.

What’s a good score on this deck?

240 would be a good effort. But to win the game against Eng batting second on what will probably be easier conditions? Need a lot more

 

[slippy888]

Guptill shot was awful to get out

 

[Athlai]

I think #intent was the correct choice. Nicholls should take that role and just let Kane accumulate

 

[trundler]

KW needs to hide at the other end right now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What’s a good score on this deck?

Depends how many Kane gets.

It does nowhere near as much as it looks like it will. Good batting pitch, will nibble a little early like it has but bat first the right call.

There's an England supporter in the crowd that looks like a fat Ashley Giles

 

[DriveClub]

nicholls hardly putting bat to ball

 

[slippy888]

Boult would have been a handful on this pitch what New Zealand thinking by bowling 1st

 

[TheJediBrah]

Roy missed that on purpose to keep Nicholls in

 

[hazsa19]

Get Stokes on NOW. It might do nothing but it might hoop around corners.

 

[artvandalay]

Munro should have played today. Don't see that Nicholls can get a move on if need be.

Wait till you see Geoff Allott.

Have you seen him field though

We're 9 overs in and it's still doing quite a bit.

He was aiming for Dharmasena.
