Cricket: NZ vs England

[Higgins]

@Hooroo Shame they weren't around forty odd years ago. That would have seen a complete rewriting of record books, particularly for the visiting cricket teams in India and Australia (and occasionally NZ!) and rugby teams in South Africa (not to mention Cardiff Arms Park in 1905)

[Crazy Horse]

Whitney would have been given out, Sneddon"s catch would have been awarded...

@Bovidae a ready made replacement for Rossco when he hangs up the bat?

England won toss and NZ first to have a go with the hitting sticks

[Hooroo]

From Cricinfo.com

Lachlan: "Whoah! While a small sample size (8 matches), Southee averages 57 with the bat and 17 with the ball as captain!!!" The GOAT allrounder?!

If the game is tied how will they decide a winner?

Or Munro. Swung like crazy, but couldn't connect

[nzzp]

Guptill takes a damn good catch. 68/2 england, important now to keep taking wickets

[Mokey]

We ended up with 153/5. England now smashing it to all corners of course.

[nzzp]

@Mokey we're getting smoked.

England 122/3 with 4 overs to get thirty runs.

Edit: needed more wickets.

[sparky]

England heading for another victory here.

[sparky]

England won by 7 wickets with 9 balls to spare. ☹️

yeah imagine if he remembered how to bat, strangely i still have more hope of him regaining form than Munro getting any runs consistently

The guy is a busted flush, doing just enough to keep the wolves at bay with his fielding. Time to move on
