England vs BCs ODI series

Beats me why England did not use their best bowler for his 10 overs allotment. Woakes has been brilliant all series. Wood bowled some shockers. Wonderful gutsy effort from Taylor!
I wish they could find room for Devcich in this squad, as the slow bowling options seem to prosper better than the quicks.

2/1. Sigh. Munro continues his rich vein of form. No pressure Guptill and Kane, but we are going to need hundreds from you both.
The way our middle order is going I doubt that will be enough
Only roscoe is trustworthy. One of these 3 will need to carry their bat. Maybe even two of them

OK they showed Munro's review. Dead plumb, that's Shane Watson-esque.
So not only did he get a duck, he is now also responsible for Kane being given out.
Fucking awful cricket.
After a strong start to the Summer against easybeats WI and PAK who seemed like they were on holiday, we are getting exposed by a quality side playing percentage cricket

Ross Fuking Taylor bitches!!!!!
Quoted because fuck yeah

@no-quarter said in England vs BCs ODI series:
Ross Taylor, take a fucking bow. One of the all time great ODI innings - 181* in a chase is absolutely insane. With an injury and no runner to boot.
We are all blessed to watch this guy play in his prime.

Isn’t it good to see a series played between teams who respect each other and don’t have to resort to bully tactics and acting like classless bogans.
Why would it be any other way?
Because across the world Davey dumb dumb and the boorish Aussie team feel it's not enough to play the game well, they have to sound off and act like a bunch of assholes too

I love reading a thread after the fact
Mrs boo said some fairly unsavory things about young Henry. ... well at least she suggested he may not be good enough to win it ...
Because TSF is all about me me me Henry reminds me of a game I played for Purltaruru in Matamata...
We needed 3 to win off two overs. I was not the most renowned striker of the ball. But we had a few wickets up our sleeves (4 ish ?).
Me on strike ... our best bat at the other end ... first five balls of 2nd to last over I hit straight to fielders ... I could hear (and I fucking knew) "don't fucking take a single ... leave it to Devinder!!".
So last ball of 49th I thought fuck it. I'll swing and if I hit it we'll get two ... if I get out Devinder is on strike.
I recalled a ODI when Richard Hadlee hit over the infield on the second last ball to win a game in Aus ... I'll have a crack ... ar worst I'll get one and run out on the second ...
Swung through the line ...
... hit it over mid-on ...
... run two ... run two ...
It ran away for four (thank fuck !)
Basically I am Henry Nicholls!

Ian Smith is embarrassing when the BCs start to turn it up. Becomes a total fanboy. Someone should remind him that the coverage goes all around the world.

If Henry and Fergusson aren't chosen because they can't bowl at the death - WTF is Southee doing in the team?
Heard Simon Hughes podcast last week where he basically went on for 30 minutes about how NZ are never beaten and consistently play above themselves. He ruined his argument by saying Roscoe typified this and effectively described him as an ugly cricketer who did well despite not being much more than a battler.
Well he's certainly shown he's a battler but seriously... I only wish Taylor had got his eye fixed three or four years ago.
Second wish - he plays until he's 40

Fuck it cdg gone
Back in England’s favour nowFunny reading these comments now. When CDG was swinging for the fences, the odds were $1.01 to NZ and $26 England. Post wicket it was $1.03 (and $21) and the highest it ever got for rest of the game was only $1.15!
Great game!

@chris-b said in England vs BCs ODI series:
That was just a mightily awesome innings from Rossco - potentially career defining.
Pretty much won that game on his own, with a bit of support from Ish Sodhi - and a few other guys who didn't disgrace themselves, but whose names don't warrant mentioning in the same sentence in regard to this match.
Tom Latham - good work.Tom Latham deserves a tonne of credit for staying with Taylor for so long, That was a heck of a partnership.

It's hilarious. "o ye of little faith" always comes to mind, but years of supporting the "Craps" does that to you. They manage to lose from anywhere and then they do something like that - thank you Ross. Owesome.
