Final - England v New Zealand

[stephen]

Quite a bit of movement on offer for the bowlers but they've all been too short so far.

Probably slightly in NZs favour right now. Two quick wickets and England are very far in front though.

bar woakes england underwhelming so far

Trying to scare those with slightly delayed coverage? It worked.

**** didn't expect to see a Joe Root double hatrick. It's all up to Santner now

Haha easy to forget how close NZ were to not even making the semis. What a turnaround it would be.

 

[slippy888]

Nicholls showing the world why he worthy here

 

[Jezroy]

How Hairy are those Nipples now?

 

[91Jmay]

Garbage from Plunkett. Stokes should have been first change.

 

[thundaboult]

Happy for Nicholls just looks a lot more fluid now.

 

[TheJediBrah]

England's bowling has really dropped off after the openers though. Plunkett and Wood are definitely the hole in their XI. They'd have been better off picking another batsman

 

[hazsa19]

Big fan of Plunkett, but feels like he’s kind of ‘putting’ it there

Hopefully these two will set the innings up nicely and my partner will decide she can handle coming to the lounge to watch it. Until then, I'm stuck asking my sleeping cats for their thoughts.

Creaming every ball, just needs to find some gaps lol

Ffs Kane, that's a 130k half volley with mid off up. Put it away.

Wood has looked dangerous. And Plunkett's been good on the slower pitches with his cutters.

There must be a limit to Williamson's patience, surely?

You obviously haven’t seen him bat

My beer bottles make for great conversation.

Knew as soon as I made my post something like that would get posted

 

[Bahnz]

Wood bowling seriously well here.

Mine's a big NZ supporter, but because he thinks the team is named after him (Black Cats).

I haven't had the heart to tell him it's actually Blackcaps yet

Yeah Plunkett and Wood have been meh most of the time. Infact except Woakes/Archer England bowling is weak.
