Final - England v New Zealand

[91Jmay]

Bairstow is ridiculous

 

[Jezroy]

Damn. Neesh you idiot. He was looking so solid too before that. Oh well. Snything under 250 is way too short and need a huge effort to get to 250

Yeah... he was timing it well and then just mistimed one. Pitch? Bowler? Combination?

 

[thundaboult]

Right. Last 10, what can we get from here

 

[weldone]

Need about 100 in the last 10, do they have that fire in the belly?

Is Adam Parore supporting New Zealand today

Henry and Satner to come in

haaaaaa

Yeah he was looking great but he does this often. Has the potential to be a quality player but not sure he will ever get above the "dangerous on his day" tag.

 

[straw man]

There should be seam movement with the new ball and the pitch clearly rewards cutters and cross-seamers to some extent, but I don't think the magnitude of assistance is as much as the pitch for the NZ-India semi final.

 

[rythy]

Ok so we are into the last 10 overs. A 8 an over average will take to 260 and 9 to 270. So this could land anywhere between 250-270 depending on the wickets. de Grandhomme the saviour and hero?

Only if cdg has a special day. Id take 70 more from here happily

I think it’s different assistance

 

[thundaboult]

Cdg just looks clueless. Oh well nothing new here.

 

[slippy888]

Game was kind lost for New Zealand when they not score a 4 for 80 balls

 

[Moss]

Potentially a match defining effort there from Plunkett. Totally lived up to his billing.

Hope these two are able to take it deep, Latham striking ut well but not enough wickets in hand to go all out now.

 

[straw man]

Yeah... he was timing it well and then just mistimed one. Pitch? Bowler? Combination?

Both, but by not bending his front leg to lean into the drive it's always going in the air and a miscue is likely fatal.

Very good spell from Plunkett.

Looks more like 230-250 tbh

 

[Arachnodouche]

He didn't even try to belt the cover. Just held his shape and sort of petted it down to Root.

I don't understand comms going on about movement with the scrambled seam delivery. Isn't any movement with a scrambled seam a bit of a Hail Mary and completely unintentional/uncontrolled?

 

[Uppercut]

There should be seam movement with the new ball and the pitch clearly rewards cutters and cross-seamers to some extent, but I don't think the magnitude of assistance is as much as the pitch for the NZ-India semi final.

Could just be bad batting or good bowling but there’s been sooo many false shots.

 

[Arachnodouche]

CdG should audition for 007.
