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

[Fuller Pilch]

Under 260 would be great.

 

[slippy888]

I dont understand this you might as well send in wood at number 10 he might smash a quick 15 off 10 balls

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Love to see it

Nope.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is Doull an Englishman these days?

 

[_Ed_]

I can't believe we're struggling here.

Not even going to get 300.

NZ deserve credit for their performance, IMO.

it's not like 300 will be needed against these bumpkins tbf

 

[BazBall21]

Woakes is a mug against spin and high pace

 

[Aidan11]

Should have played Stokes.

He's better on one leg than most players with two.

he's whoever you want him to be as long as you pay him

 

[Shri]

That's the best I've seen Santner bowl for a long time. Very impressive.

he's been with csk for a while

fleming dhoni etc have probably given him enough inputs to make indian venues his home grounds

 

[BazBall21]

Rashid batting above Wood in 2023??

 

[thierry henry]

enGlaND caN StiLl gEt 2 350

Finally, a brutal attack I deserved

 

[BazBall21]

Shot Curran

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The crowd's buzzing now. I think about 2000 people more came in.

 

[slippy888]

300 is par on this ground by the way

 

[thundaboult]

Rashid batting above Wood in 2023??

no worries he's in now

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Wow NZ have stacked their batting, huh. Have they finally realised Mitchell can bowl?

"No." apparently.

 

[_Ed_]

Hope Henry ends up with four - deserves it for the way he bowled up front.

 

[GIMH]

Sounds like we're below par, but that it shouldn't be a doddle of a chase?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Too good NZ. England just misreading the pitch a bit. Should have gone for slow 280
