CWC Game #7 Black Caps v Pakistan

[Donsteppa]

We need 11 likely contributors to win the whole thing, but Stead seems to have inked in every team list weeks ago...

[NTA]

Gotta say, I'm genuinely confused at the decision to bat.

Me too!

I also reckon by the time I've finished typing this, Munro will be out edging Amir.

[No Quarter]

Well I'm not completely comfortable with the decision to bat given how important this game is.

Have to think they believe conditions won't change much so chasing anything above 270 will be a tough ask for the Pakistan lineup.

We just need to settle things down here and see off the new ball.

As I type that Munro creams a couple of boundaries. Good shots though.

[Paekakboyz]

@NTA it's dicey for sure. Not sure if it's about the state of the wicket or us needing to set a decent target. Boult and co will be a tad salty about missing out on some juicy conditions.

Clearly we've learned nothing since Melbourne 🙄

Imad? Shadup!

The 12 man still lives!

[canefan]

Facing Amir is going to be a massive challenge for Munro. Despite all the ridicule I really want Munro to do well

[Magpie_in_aus]

KW aiming to go down as one of our best CWC openers...

[Paekakboyz]

Fuck off Munro.

[canefan]

What a disgustingly lazy dismissal

[Donsteppa]

Stead, give yourself an uppercut.

[mariner4life]

The village cricketer goes in the most predictable fashion

[Paekakboyz]

That's your last match this WC.

Agh and now an ad with the Hairy Javelin, where are you when we need you bro!

[shark]

How much of this Munro garbage do we have to endure, for fucks sake?? It's not like the useless fuck even got 30 from his 17. He sucked those balls up for 12 FFS.

[Paekakboyz]

Breaking news. NZ win CWC with only 9 players. Decide to let Guppy and Munro hit the piss with the WAGs instead.

Shit shot selection.

ps - Guppy is getting my Munro related angst. Expect Guptill to bat his way outta his funk. Don't think it's helping having numpty at the other end.

[Mokey]

Fuck me days. Kane and Roscoe may as well be our openers, fuck knows Guptill and Munro don't take the shine off the new ball.

And uh, if it's damp and there is moisture in the air...why would you choose to bat?

[shark]

Both openers are out of nick. One of them was never in good nick. Time to realise we can't rely on our two best batsmen every fucking time when our openers are both out of touch, and finally make the Nicholls for Munro change.

[Paekakboyz]

Moist. The term is moist, Mokey

You of all people!! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

[Mokey]

@Paekakboyz Ugh. Wouldn't use that word if you paid me.
