41st Match - England v New Zealand

[straw man]

Damn. Aside from anything else, have really enjoyed watching Ferguson bowl this tournament.

 

[Woodster]

Even from an England fan perspective it’s a shame Ferguson misses out, he’s bowled beyond expectations this tournament and would’ve liked to see how England would’ve played him.

Huge game today for us, can’t afford one of our middle order collapses, a chase of 275+ could be very interesting knowing our WC survival depended on it, should we bowl first.

Really loved the press conference yesterday where Ross Taylor hailed Kane Williamson as the best captain ever. So much love between the two.

Makes their inability to run together even more baffling

Everyone assuming Aus are finishing first and India second. But that could change easily. SA can beat Oz and India should beat SL.

I think on current form South Africa winning would be a genuine surprise.

Ferguson out sucks hard.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I wish we could call up Hamish Bennett from the squad for this match.

 

[aussie tragic]

England batting..time to head to the pub to watch a 300+ score

 

[Howsie]

If England score 350 look for New Zealand to score 250 from there 50.

England best first.

Damn it , end of the road for Pakistan

 

[trundler]

Well that's the end of that

Southee 7fer incoming

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Southee 7fer incoming

To ensure his place in the ODI side through to 2023.

 

[Moss]

England holding most of the cards it looks like, winning a good toss and not having to contend with Ferguson.

Opportunity for NZ to put the Aus loss behind them and play with a better mindset chasing.

 

[Grasshopper]

Best we can probably hope for is that our attack doesn't get too beaten up in the first ten overs.

 

[Howsie]

Luke Ronchi is the assistant coach?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If there's no swing I want Santner and/or Williamson bowling at their openers

 

[trundler]

CdG and Santner should do decently

 

[ankitj]

Big game this. For Pakistan.

 

[Grasshopper]

CdG and Santner should do decently

Yes, an unorthodox approach is our best hope.
