England v New Zealand (SUPER OVER? BOUNDARY COUNTBACK?) at Abu Dhabi, 11-10 Wednesday (N), Semi-final #1

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hope Glenn is okay...i saw that **** *****d up Stokes' hand in South Africa.

Not the easiest of wickets. A bit like some of the sharjah wickets skidding on and hitting the bottle of the bat. The amount of times malan has tried to play his legside pickup shot this tournament and the ball has gone under his bat is a lot.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Need to keep them under 147 (8 an over for the last 10)

 

[smash84]

yeah, doesn't look like an easy wicket to bat on, although dew will complicate things for England potentially

 

[Moss]

Not sure why you wouldn't trust Santner to bowl against the lefties, especially on a larger ground.

Malan's offside play has been great so far.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Willey's batting for England has generally been slower than the other tailenders. Swings and misses

He has a better T20I strike rate than Billings though.

Nice this from Malan.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Barring the drop catch, NZ's fielding has been phenomenal.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sodhi is bowling **** and he's getting away with it.

 

[Moss]

Need them wickets, these two are scoring at a good clip.

I say back Santner to do the job, dangerous to leave him for the end. Or bring back Boult if you want a favourable matchup for these two.

who's the other commentator with Harsha Bhogle? Sounds so much like the late Bob Willis

The man who just suggested that Ian Smith would be in the Hawke's Bay in NZ, enjoying a nice bottle of red wine watching this game live.

Its 4am.

But he's probably right.

 

[thierry henry]

Harsha is very insufferable tonight

 

[theegyptian]

This is crap by mo. Not sure why he came in at 4 anyway. 2 limited lefties batting together not what you need.

 

[trundler]

Should've sent in Liam

At least we haven't heard his usualy cliches so much today like "great cricket that, a single after a boundary"

It's 5 0'clock somewhere

Boult is bowling ****

 

[thierry henry]

One of those nights where it feels like we have no fielders. Just isn’t happening
