Final - England v New Zealand

[Maximas]

Odd, although Root was scratchy the team wasn't in trouble, partnership was building nicely

 

[ImpatientLime]

fmd that is horrific

 

[Jezroy]

YES CDG! The village people rise again!

 

[straw man]

I just want everyone to imagine De Grandhomme winning a world cup medal after his innings earlier today.

 

[wpdavid]

Crap by Root

Beat me to it, verbatim. And I'm not sure that I fancy Morgan against Ferguson tbh.

 

[thundaboult]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

 

[Spintolose]

I would never have imagined Root playing such an ugly slog

And Colin gets him!

Typical Root. As I've been saying tuk tuk tuk, eats the balls up then he gets out to a horrible shot.

Not really a guy for a one day chase.

Root/Bairstow > Taylor/Williamson

Totally your fault that.

Woeful shot, woeful innings from Root. No idea what he was thinking, gets away with the worst shot of his career then just follows up it with that. Melted under pressure.

 

[wrongun]

Get Root to knick one here

Finally! Root avgs 68 against an outswinger apparently and it gets him

 

[Member Berry]

more like Colin DeGrandeHommeless

i/m sorry for multiple reasons. YES DeGrandehomme!

 

[MW1304]

Gonna need a Buttler special here I feel. Morgan I'm not feeling and Stokes won't be able to time a thing.

 

[thundaboult]

Cdg. I'm sorry. Actually no you suck. You're village you are horrible. Now get a fifer so i eat more of my words.

 

[91Jmay]

Feels like Sri Lanka all over again, bogged down batsmen giving wickets away.

 

[rythy]

lol terrible from Root. With Roy and Root gone I think NZ can win this now. England going to collapse or just fall short in chase. Roy innings makes so much difference to this England team most of the time lol

 

[Howsie]

Root/Bairstow > Taylor/Williamson

Ha

 

[Jezroy]

RRR up to 5.48. Date to dream? This pitch needs to help us choke the life out of them.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Honestly think that might be one of the worst shots I've seen in a while. So completely out of character.

 

[cnerd123]

hear Howe call Joe Root a choker live on CW Comms!!

Chris Woakes looks like a Vampire there

 

[Member Berry]

really ugly innings from Root, unlike him
