CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[No Quarter]

@Damo said in CWC Final - Black Caps v England:

Williamson said something very interesting at the toss. He said the Pitch was clearly a bat first pitch, but the overhead conditions suggested a bowl.

Perhaps he thinks the pitch will get slow and gluggy in the second innings?

Still, I reckon 300 is what we're aiming for here.

Yeah I can't see us playing the same way we did in the semi which was a genuinely shit pitch for batting. We'll want to push for 300.

[Damo]

Our running is noticeably more urgent today than against India. I wonder if that was something that was discussed in the team debrief.

Nichols batting like a #9

Plunkett bowls a straight one and Nicholls can’t even flick it off the pads.

This ground is massive. We need to get lots of 2s and 3s, not necessarily boundaries

So what’s a pass mark score on this ground ?

250 ?

280 at least has to be par.

Foxtel guys, specificaly M Waugh, said 280 less 10% for the final so 250.

I reckon that may be optimistic.

Fuck that fluffybunnies opinion.

Told those stories (including the best cricketer in the family) to Ms boo jr last night.

She was suitably amused.

Plunkett goes for 6. That's better

Gah. These guys know it's not a test match, right? Getting to lunch at 50/1 not the goal.

Settle Mokey. We were saying this last game and looked what happened.

WASP says 295

True, but I would back Kane's view of the best rate over mine.

[canefan]

Great vision of guppy trying to mix up length vs Woakes. Until he stayed back and got out

That’s 7rpo here on in. Nope not happening.

[Mokey]

@MN5 I will not settle. I will unleash the demons if they don't start scoring some runs.

Everyone said 250 in the SF wasn't enough

Sheesh Kane caught on his crease.

[No Quarter]
