is this the same ground that drying just dried up for NZ vs England?
No. We played at Old Trafford. This is edgbaston
-
All these teams look far more dangerous than NZ .... Until they don't. Yesterday being a good example.

Yup, NZ has some vastly underrated players. Take Matt Henry for example.

Thought Rashid talked the umpire into giving Stoinis.
Two umpires calls on that ball - don't recall seeing that before for a decision that is given. Starting to enter "benefit of the doubt" territory.
Yeah, I think before DRS and ball tracking the umpire would have said not out. I remember Billy Bowden barely gave a single LBW. The umpires seem more confident to give them now with the technology there to back them up.

Maxwell living dangerously
And gone.
Not exactly the Big Show

Big wicket. Maxwell is really a T20 specialist but can be so dangerous when he gets going.

Like Colin Munro? This cup has been for technically competent players, not flat track sloggers. Just as it should be.
Steve Smith gave him a what the fark look

Wheels look to be falling off.

England well on top. But Aussie have the bowlers to defend a total of 200

England well on top. Don't think the track is anywhere near as hard to bat on as our pitch vs India. Starc played shots easily.
Generically saying "200-something will be hard to get" is the new catchphrase to appear knowledgeable in this WC, doesn't mean its always true.
England bowled very well on a benign surface, and a load of Aussie batsmen played poor shots. England should get these in a canter.

Yeah, it looked like 300 was par on that pitch. Aussies have good bowlers but have conceded 300 in this World Cup. Plus only Starc/Behrendorf have performed with the ball. Need early wickets.
