*Official* Opening Match- England v New Zealand- October 5th, Ahmedabad

[AndyZaltzHair]

England out for 250 will be soo good now

 

[Burgey]

Just need to bat sensibly for another 10, then go hard in the final 10. It's not like they're not scoring nicely as it is. Given England have better spin options, anything over 300 should be a tough chase unless it changes under the lights.

Livingstone , Root and Ali the spinners for England?

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

it was a nothing shot from buttler

Thanks

 

[Athlai]

Bonked

 

[straw man]

140km/h accurate bouncer, impressive

 

[thundaboult]

tough 1 to cop first up thats a brilliant bouncer

 

[ataraxia]

Time for Liam Hackingstone to get totally grilled

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I wanna see Rachin Tendulkar open the batting today

He's at 3

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Livingstone , Root and Ali the spinners for England?

And Adil Rashid

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I'm listening so loose shot or pitch doing something, even with the older ball? Difference between 350 and 300 score either way!

The Kiwis are turning it up now. They will end on 310

 

[Molehill]

Livingstone , Root and Ali the spinners for England?

And Rashid. There's deffo a bit in this pitch for those who have bowled well (Henry and Santner).

 

[straw man]

Surely we can just get Henry, Boult and Santner to bowl 12 each this innings. What are rules anyway.

Adil rashid

 

[ataraxia]

Time for Sachin Rachindra to dilute the Livinghack

 

[BazBall21]

England need 300+

 

[Burgey]

Yeah from what I’ve seen so far you’d expect Rashid to bowl well on this

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

And Rashid. There's deffo a bit in this pitch for those who have bowled well (Henry and Santner).

Rashid key today imo

 

[thierry henry]

Why is Rachin still ****ing bowling

 

[Burgey]

In the main game today Hayley Matthews made 79(40) in what looks like a losing chase in the deciding T20 vs Aus. Fmd she’s had some series

 

[BazBall21]

The key. Dry Indian wicket so would expect a bit of turn second dig. Topley should be playing.
