Final - England v New Zealand

[slippy888]

CDG is a legend

So good from Plunkett. Brilliant set that.

 

[MW1304]

Could just be bad batting or good bowling but there’s been sooo many false shots.

A lot of that is the pitch though, I think. Tough to score off any time Plunkett, or others, have put it on a slightly fuller length.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I think NZ are well in this.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Never been so happy to see someone evading the ball.

 

[91Jmay]

NZ seem happy just to get 250, reckon they like their bowling on this pitch.

 

[straw man]

Do that a few more times plz De Grandhomme. Back, shoulder, knee, head, anything to get it over the boundary.

 

[MW1304]

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I think NZ are well in this.

Ah yeah I see. As ever, opening partnership is huge.

 

[slippy888]

CDG is smart sometimes just use your body to score runs

 

[straw man]

Latham needs more boundary options other than heave to the packed legside boundary.

 

[artvandalay]

The fear is, though, that players would review even all the decisions they thought were out (including obvious catches I guess) just in case of a missed no-ball, or in the case of lbws DRS messing up in some way

I think it would be better to give the umpires that power. You'd prevent the situation you were mentioning. It's only lbws and a few caught behinds anyway that are sometimes hard to know what happened in real time.

 

[slippy888]

Using his body again is CDG

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Do that a few more times plz De Grandhomme. Back, shoulder, knee, head, anything to get it over the boundary.

Again! CDG’s torso is one of our better batsmen today.

 

[straw man]

This has been the hackiest innings ever from De Grandhomme.

Just what we expect from him.

 

[slippy888]

CDG has been one of New Zealands better batsman today to be honest

 

[MW1304]

This has been the hackiest innings ever from De Grandhomme.

Just what we expect from him.

It's pretty entertaining. Hasn't hit the ball yet I don't think.

 

[91Jmay]

Another game we are bowling too many wides.

 

[MW1304]

Bowling nicely, Archer, but three gimme runs in an over is doing himself a disservice.

 

[91Jmay]

270+ still on here with a bit of Colin magic.

Feels like NZ are being let off the hook here
