Black Caps v India
-
@westcoastie yeah that was too sketchy because of the definition of removing bails.
Such a miniscule lift, you can't say one way or the other what happens when bail removed. Not out in days of no technology
I've noticed the cue is now the lights and not the bails

My understanding is that the wickets will not flash unless both ends of the bail are dislodged. It lights up pretty much immediately so definitely benefits the bowling team more.

fuckin' shot Tom Latham. Wow.
Yadav still dodgy action -

Latham is fresh off a domestic T20 ton so has a bit of form. He and Rosco need to take us beyond the 35 over mark if we want to have a chance here.
I don't know about that. We still have Nicholls, CDG and Bracewell to come after these two. Any of those 5 batsmen are capable of making big scores.
We need to get a lot closer before CdG and Bracewell come in or we're asking far too much of our lower order. But fair call re: Nicholls, we need a decent partnership here.

That was worth a review given it was spinning and we REALLY needed more runs from Latham...

Might not have lost the review but no chance of overturning the decision.
-
@No-Quarter No doubt I'm talking out my arse, ( I can't even quote the bail dislodging law)
Was a pissy stumping decision though, IMO

Reality check
Yep.
We’ve been made to look very very ordinary very very quickly.On the plus side, none of the other teams are as good as India, so I think we can still go deep into the business end of the WC.
-
@westcoastie yea you might be right.
Think India are better than England though. -
FUCKING KNEW IT. Cut CDG loose ffs
-
thats headless chook shit, and he brings that to the crease every time. Him and Southee. Use your fucking brains.
-
Yeah and England beat us last time they were here.
Those two teams are miles ahead of the rest at the moment. Though when Aus field a full strength side they'll be right up there as well.
-
CdG caught on the boundary, and Ian Smith nailed it ‘there was an air of predictably about that’
Neesham>CdG
At least Neesham can play the ‘nudge it around for a few overs’ game, as well as clear the rope.
These last two performances are sooo bloody disappointing, we haven’t even put up a fight.
-
in modern limited over cricket, who gives a fuck about the run rate until it gets to 10/over. like literally, we didn't have to do anything stupid for another 10 or so overs.
could've noodled it around for 10 overs and just scored 40-45.
we've been made to look real average in these two games -
Mark Richardson calling it right - we look bamboozled by spinners.
We've always looked bamboozled by half-decent spin. -
Are we that guy in club cricket who has all the gear and nice clean whites. He's keen as and a really nice guy for a nuffy. His technique looks ok in the nets but, while he gives it his all, he is worth fuck all runs and the odd helpful 18 not out keeps him turning up?
Is that us? Look pretty good but do fuck all when it counts?
This morning I thought we'd find out how good we are today - big match, good pressure.
Fuck....
Monday's big eh?
