With both openers getting goldens lol

Will be quite a test for NZ now. What a start from cottrell.

 

[mr_mister]

Munro looks useless lol

 

[NUFAN]

I was thinking that surely the last few overs of Indias innings will be more exciting compared to NZs start, how wrong was I.

 

[BeeGee]

Cottrell is bowling beautifully. Getting inswing and away seam.

 

[Flem274*]

Those yorkers were great.

 

[mr_mister]

Score predictor of 310 a bit generous right?

 

[thundaboult]

So will they tinker with the lineup now? I mean...munro has failed..again...in a world cup innings.

Send Latham to open?

 

[Moss]

The opening partnership is now a big problem for NZ, though tbf not much either Guptill or Munro could have done about those first ballers.

Unlikely that Latham will be moved to the opening slot, he's in the middle order because of his ability against spin and is sort of expected to play the Grant Elliott role (though he doesn't have Elliott's finishing abilities).

Not yet played India, (rain) England or Australia the three strongest sides in the event. They have given him enough chances I think.

 

[thundaboult]

Don't think they will make any changes with the 11 unless an injury happens.

 

[Flem274*]

This is good bowling. Geez they're challenging when they try.

Tho the true test is imo they drop their heads if you hang in there for an hour. We've played them a lot this decade and it has been really apparent. Need kane and ross to just hang in there.

but pity he's in such a **** team.

 

[thundaboult]

Lots and lots of dots

 

[BeeGee]

If they drop Munro it'll be a straight swap with Nicholls.
