This 20 over block of part-timers is going to be brutal

Phillips!

 

[NZTailender]

Frothing at the thought of Sachin commentating on Rachin


Haha yess Glenn you ****ing beauty

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yes!

 

[Moss]

The watch-on-TV option is probably a heap more available and better than it was back then.

Yeah, this. The stadium experience in India is as bad as it was back then, but you have several options if you want to watch the game - watching it on my mobile myself.

 

[CricAddict]

Who says part timers are extinct..

This 20 over block of part-timers is going to be brutal

For England

 

[The Hutt Rec]

That’s why it was good. Cricket with good batting absolutely sucks.

NZ proving that it's pretty good without good bowlers, too.

Brutal for the England sloggers

[Molehill]

Some wonder why Joe Root is in this team, watching these fools keep getting out should make it fairly clear.

 

[Athlai]

Our plan of England to choke was a masterstroke

 

[BeeGee]

That was sooooo sweet.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why are NZ bowling part time spin? It doesn't really work in ODIs anymore.

I was gambhiring for you, NZ fans

 

[straw man]

bad choice by Moeen to overestimate the bounce against G Phillips

 

[Bahnz]

Oh man, if only we'd had some part-timer long-hop merchants for Lords' 4 years ago.

 

[thundaboult]

LOOOOOOOL

 

[Athlai]

This 20 over block of part-timers is going to be brutal

For who op
FOR WHO

 

[slippy888]

They gonna score 250 from here and the bazball got exposed again lol

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I can only assume this was Lathams first choice bowling attack

Clearly paying homage to his dad's bowling exploits and it's working.
