T20 World Cup - Blackcaps vs England
-
England won the toss and will bat. Good toss to win
-
Geez cricinfo is confusing…..how many labels can a player have ?
Apparently you can be an opening batter, top order batter, middle order batter, wicket keeper batter, batter, all rounder, batting all rounder, bowling all rounder or bowler.
-
For me this match is the one that either exposes us or gives us genuine belief 😱

honestly, I think T20 is a lottery. Two great games in a row and yuo're champs. One piece of bad luck and you're done.
-
There’s a bit of swing there, but Boult was a little too straight on that second ball.
-
Amazing ball from Boult. I thought it bowled him but instead went for 4.

I think that’s the intriguing thing about T20. You obviously need skill and good tactics. But the margin for error (mainly for the bowlers) is so small. You could be in a great position as a bowling team and then one over can really turn a match against you.

It comes down to which group of bits and pieces players does it better on the day.

Hales is away

Yeah - we really needed that inside edge from Hales to knock him over, but instead he gets four - England away to a bright start instead of being in early trouble.

Is this commentary or cheerleading?

They’ve been cheerleading both teams so far.

Luck can turn just as quickly. Looks a high scoring pitch
-
Could be in trouble here.

I’d expect that early nervous nelly post from sparky but not you 😉
It’s a great pitch and whoever won the toss will have seen how it played in the previous game. Batting first is a big advantage.
-
Great catch
-
Show the replay….
-
It’s T20 power play. Either comes off or fails big time.
You just hope you aren’t on the wrong side both innings -
Kane doesn't seem confident
-
Shelled it

Kane can’t middle the catch just like the bat

Cheating Kiwis
We’ll take that as a compliment coming from an Aussie
-
Well that was pretty shit. Would have been a great catch
-
8 per over in the power play isn’t that bad.
-
That was a good final delivery by Ferg
-
We don't need to be so nice ffs

Hales gets another inside edge but no wicket

Seems to have been a directive for most of the tournament. From the commentary, every six, wicket, or catch taken in the first week and a half has been either The Best Shot Or The Best Delivery Ever In Cricket History...

I switched over to the cricket, just in time to watch that "catch".
Then logged onto the Fern, knowing that I was going to see exactly that post, from exactly that poster.As soon as I saw he'd shelled it, I wanted to go back and see if he'd ever claimed it.
I see now the commentators are bending over backwards to explain how he could/would have thought he'd recovered it before it bounced. So - conscience clear, back to being the true Paladins of the Spirit of Cricket. -
Of course the fans have turned out, Danny.
Brisbane is chock full of kiwis and Poms. And it's a good ground.
-
Nice over from Ish
-
Mitch bowling well too. Timmy got the tap. Bizarre
-
We might need to give Son of Mitch or Neesh a bit more a bowl tonight to slow it up.
-
The pitch looks like it has less life than the early game.
So far about a 180+? -
No wickets lost after 10 and 77 on the board. England in a very solid position.
Ish and Santner have tried to lock it down.
