*Official* Opening Match- England v New Zealand- October 5th, Ahmedabad

[OverratedSanity]

Pretty bad innings that

 

[Neil Young]

Henry's deserved that.

Did we really expect it to be a packed out ground at half 2 (local time) on a Thursday when people are working?

Not packed but maybe 20% capacity is atrocious

 

[social]

Henry has bowled well & without luck until then

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Too good a length for Malan

 

[RightArmMystery]

Nice stuff from Henry, deserved that, pretty rank shot from Malan though

 

[Howsie]

Lol, nah.

Sort of just proved my point

Well deserved for Henry

 

[Athlai]

Can't wait for our 4th bowler to come on

 

[Molehill]

Not packed but maybe 20% capacity is atrocious

It's not 20%, not even sure it's 5.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Lol why wouldn't you play Sodhi

 

[Tom Flint]

Not packed but maybe 20% capacity is atrocious

Really? 20% is 20000 which would be really good for a cricket wc game not featuring the host nation in a country there aren't that many expats living in

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

How much were tix to this

 

[Groundking]

Might be for the best Malan got out then, didn't look the best and was batting pretty slowly.

 

[Starfighter]

Santner is a very boring bowler and he doesn't even have the redeeming trait many boring left armers have of having a decent looking action.

 

[Tom Flint]

Problem is the size of the ground. In England 2019 crowds looks good on tv but most only hold 15000.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Really hate Santner's action, horrible to watch

 

[Athlai]

God I hope its a NZ vs Eng final with 5000 screaming fans

I was being generous

There’s hardly anyone there

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

GAH, I thought this started yesterday and was a day early, but today I thought it started an hour later, just tuned in to get the toss and line ups.

 

[Aritro]

Yeah hideous action. Hard to watch.

Meanwhile I've had to turn the volume right down as I'm worried the deafening roar of the crowd will leave damage
