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

[thierry henry]

FWIW I’ve been watching this whole thing but with nothing to whine about I’m at a loss about what to say. Just a brutal pounding.

 

[Preed]

What an appalling arrogant performance by England.They believe their own publicity.I have said for a long while that the bowling is poor and why is Woakes who never performs abroad opening the bowling.Butler a poor captain and the rest should bat properly and not just slog.We need stokes back and need to change the opening bowling pronto or we don’t get out of group stage

 

[OverratedSanity]

No one in double figures yet.

Oh ****!

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is ****ing brutal. What an innings.

 

[BeeGee]

What an ass wuppin'. 6 of the best, trousers down.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Just a casual 31 off 10 from Conway.

 

[ashley bach]

31 off his last 10 balls Devon just smoking now.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Moss]

Quite the massacre. But restricting England to 280 with that attack was a real heist. Would be tempted to give Latham the MoM award.

 

[slippy888]

Mooen was the pick of the bowlers

 

[Skyliner]

England eviscerated.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That is a historic arse whipping

 

[MW1304]

Thought the days of being humiliated on the global stage like the 2011 Sri Lanka game or 2015 Bangladesh game were over. This makes those look like nail-biters.

Don't see how this team come back from that.

Crazy Conway facts

Played junior cricket with Quinton de Kock

Made his test debut less than 6 months before de Kock retired

 

[thierry henry]

Well guys we finally did it. We won the World Cup.

 

[social]

And people thought that the Wallabies were bad at the WC

 

[Nintendo]

Is this the greatest day in the history of wellington cricket? Their LOI opening pair just pantsed the defending WC champions.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

That is a crazy fact, thank you.

From The Guardian...

“Doubt we’ll need a super over today,” says Simon McMahon. “What’s the opposite of the barest of margins?” Good question…

NEW ZEALAND WIN BY THE RAREST OF MARGINS!
