*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Zinzan]

Certainly going to be an England ATG but just below the Sanga's, Tendulkar and Lara's ect ect

Too early to say 'certainly', but sure, unlikely to quite reach that level, but couldn't be much more impressive at this age.

 

[Zinzan]

I'm struggling to think of an occasion batting has looked so easy. Can't recall a ball beating the bat all innings.

Well on his way if he gets a ton today to Pieterson and Trescothick.

Yeah certainly might be too strong but we don't have a long list of middle order greats.

 

[Zinzan]

I was meaning Lara/Sanga/Tendulkar level.

 

[GIMH]

this isn't much like watching England

Thats what Akram said.

 

[WalkingWicket]

This is all well and good England attacking and stuff, but Baz and Guptill against Finn and Jordan is something that I, as an England fan, am not looking forward to.

 

[WalkingWicket]

That's out, buddy.

That's true, but chasing 400-450 is always going to be unlikely, even on the best batting surface in the world with Viv Richards & Gilchrist in your line-up.

NZ might well review their default "field first" theory, especially on pitches that are obviously flat.

 

[Stace]

If Root keeps getting 40 runs every 10 overs he'll get 200 if were not all out before then..

No way are England getting near 400. 330 tops.

 

[Spark]

Good of England to catch on to ODI batting trends in their first series after the WC.

 

[BeeGee]

Root is so gun.

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Current rr 7.5... Depends on wickets... especially Root.

 

[cnerd123]

I can just hear PEWS cringe after that.

Ha.

 

[Zinzan]

You're kidding right? Current RR 7.43 with 27 overs to go & 7 wickets in hand.

 

[Stace]

Roooot!

 

[GIMH]

rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
