Final - England v New Zealand

[straw man]

He's done it well a couple of times so far but Neesham has a habit of playing on while trying to guide the ball to third man for a single.

Prefer slashing it through cover like that .

 

[thundaboult]

This was predictable.

 

[Howsie]

****ing hell.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great by Plunkett. He has bowled so well.

 

[straw man]

Exactly like the Champion's Trophy in England, Neesham gets himself out for 20-odd just so ****ing often.

 

[Jezroy]

**** it. Need the best CDG innings.

 

[Arachnodouche]

What a dumbass shot. Simply patted it to mid-on.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Got to be looking to keep it under 250 now.

 

[91Jmay]

Plunkers !!!!

 

[thundaboult]

wayyyyyyy too predictable. Another pretty 10 or 20. Some things just don't change.

 

[Bijed]

Yea well there can be multiple howlers in a certain period of play. Theoretically, there aren't that many contentious decisions even in 100 overs that if you were to review every one you would lose time. Cricket is a stop start game anyway.

The fear is, though, that players would review even all the decisions they thought were out (including obvious catches I guess) just in case of a missed no-ball, or in the case of lbws DRS messing up in some way

Looking like a replay of England’s semi so far ...

 

[Jarquis]

Plunkett's first few overs weren't great but since then he's bowled one of the most typically Plunkettish spells ever.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Looking like a replay of England’s semi so far ...

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah - I feel like 260 is minimum

I haven’t seen the whole game but when I’ve watched batting has looked really difficult. More of a bowlers pitch than vs India anyway and 240 worked for them then.

 

[harsh.ag]

Terrible timing. Don't blow your fuse, CdG.

 

[Jezroy]

Doesn’t look like Colin’s #intent is gonna change either

 

[slippy888]

DE GREMMOEND is match winner on his day

 

[straw man]

Genuine danger of collapse and out for 210-220, which would make this a repeat of England's semi vs Aus or the last final.

Colin De Grandhomme smash?

 

[veganbob]

Damn. Neesh you idiot. He was looking so solid too before that. Oh well. Snything under 250 is way too short and need a huge effort to get to 250
