Re: World Cup 2019

Yeah, NZ have to win this in the first 10 overs if they’re going to.

Wides apart, England did little wrong in the field.

England mustn’t try and play this safe

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 15:44

1/33 after 7. Snoozies need just two really good balls here in the next, say, 8 overs.

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 15:46

Matt Henry is looking a handful here.

de Grandhomme drops the World Cup.

We have to play it safe, see off this early movement. With wickets in the bank we can chase anything off the last 20.

Well scoreboard pressure just did for Root

by beamer Sun 14 Jul 2019, 16:33

NZ clear favourites now. This just isn’t the kind of pitch, or chase, that England thrive on.

Long way to go.

Win predictor has it even, that’s generous to us. The tail’s certainly not going to do it for us, it’s all down to these two really.

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 17:15

That is some spell by the Big Man.

Only takes one good partnership.

Santner on finally. Here’s England’s chance

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 17:27

Buttler edging England back into this.

by taipan Sun 14 Jul 2019, 17:45

Into double figures

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:03

72 needed off the last 10 overs. NZ desperately need a wicket.

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:06

MBE’s all round if England win this? Maybe a Knighthood for Buttler if he’s there at the end?

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:19

Fark me, between the tennis and the cricket this is tense stuff for 3am!

by taipan Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:20

Tense at 7.20 as well.

by taipan Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:27

Butler gone

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:27

Fed gone as well having blown 2 match points on serve.

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:36

Woakes gone. Stokes has a chance to be an all time hero here.

by PeterCS Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:47

Buttler's wicket looks the clincher. Where every other England batsman has floundered with timing, a few of them flailing like amateurs in the end, the ice-eyed one looked like the matchwinner.

Great cricket. NZ look "for all the world" like worthy winners!

by furriner Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:47

Some game

by JGK Sun 14 Jul 2019, 18:50

Boult does a Paul Rieffel and concedes a 6 when he should have taken the catch.
