Final - England v New Zealand

[Jezroy]

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

It will stay cloudy through the day, so hopefully a new ball pitch and not too much grass burns off

 

[flibbertyjibber]

nicholls hardly putting bat to ball

The drive he nearly got run out by was as clean as he has hit anything all day

 

[GIMH]

Very nice from Woakes

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wait a second how is dharmasena umpiring in both semi final and final of a WC? Surely you want the best umpires right?

 

[Jezroy]

Let’s not forget Henry Nicholls is ranked 5th best test batsman in the world so he can’t be that ****

 

[Athlai]

That's a pretty decent commentary team

 

[trundler]

Just a few more over to see off lads

 

[White Ball]

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

It’s supposed to be cloudy all day in which case won’t conditions stay similar?

Why Wagner not posting today

"Why are you asking me stupid questions?" Howe channelling his inner Sledger there.

 

[Bahnz]

Thigh-padding it down to third man is proving to be Nicholls main scoring option atm.

 

[DriveClub]

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.

It looks like its moving more and more every passing over

 

[Groundking]

Archer has bowled a load of **** this morning. Wasted the new ball.

 

[harsh.ag]

Howe is 2 balls behind my TV stream and ***** is even further behind. Weird af.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is a bit of a disaster from Nichols so far. Can barely get bat on it atm. Probably still a useful innings though.

 

[thundaboult]

11 for 1 in the last 6 overs. Time to scrap through another one I guess.

 

[DriveClub]

Why Wagner not posting today

Does Wagner post with his heart? Heard he has a big one

 

[slippy888]

This is a bit of a disaster from Nichols so far. Can barely get bat on it atm. Probably still a useful innings though.

He played a good innings

His job right now? Keep Taylor in the dressing room for at least the next 7 overs

 

[TheJediBrah]

Can you imagine facing a Test attack of Anderson, Broad, Woakes & Archer? Fmd thankfully the first 2 are on the way out but the next year or 2 England could be unplayable on helpful pitches.
