Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[canefan]

That's a shame for Devon. He'll be disappointed but he's done the hard work. Time for the others to finish this off

[MN5]

Aw fuck, was hoping for a 10 wicket win.

[Crazy Horse]

My scar tissue is starting to itch.

[canefan]

28 to get

[sparky]

NZ 15-1. 23 more needed.

[canefan]

All of the non playing squad have dressed in their whites. Looking the part when making history

[canefan]

We have never won at Edgbaston apparently. I'd rather we go out in style than with a whimper

[sparky]

Latham has got his 4000th Test run.

[canefan]

21 to get. Young takes one in the cods

[Godder]

"Here's Tobias: "Really wouldn't want to be Gary Stead right now. The selection dilemmas for New Zealand ahead of the WTC final are enormous. This strength of depth is definitely a good problem to have especially given how well Young, Henry and Patel have preformed in this match. I'd almost back a side that will have Jamieson at No. 7, Wagner at 8, Southee at 9, Patel at 10 and Boult at 11. A real shame for Henry because I'm sure he won't get picked." Think I'd prefer to be Stead than Chris Silverwood, though"

From Cricinfo's commentary, can't argue with that last sentence...

[canefan]

Broad has it moving big time

[sparky]

@no-quarter The Aegeas Bowl in Southampton has a hotel in the ground and can be turned into a self-contained COVID-bubble. Lords doesn't have a hotel and is surrounded by a busyish residential area. Totally understandable move given the COVID situation in the UK and in India.

[canefan]

Latham barely moves driving down the ground and it's 17 to win

[Paekakboyz]

@canefan just hoping our guys can get some similar movement when we are playing India.

I have to think we have an advantage. We've played a couple of tests already, regardless of the pitch conditions the general conditions are very similar to home. But it will come down to execution

[canefan]

A quick scan of the Internet suggests it will swing at Southampton. And our bowlers love the Duke ball

[sparky]

27 for 1.

I was a bit disappointed, I was hoping to get the winning runs without a boundary.

[canefan]

10 to win now. We are about to have the deficit down to single figures

[Godder]

I remember when we thought hitting out of the ground was worth 12...
