maaarsh Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Get the bigman before he does too much damage and they don't have too much else in the lower order to make a big finish out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 14, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2019 All in all not a bad bowling performance. Down to the batsmen to justify their reputation as a really strong lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they skittle early wickets one might argue our early bowling slightly missed mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Well good luck here. NZ bowling cherries every single ball here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaarsh Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks to the ICC for providing a commentary team with more Kiwi's than Englishmen, some of whom (looking at you smithee) don't seem to know the first thing about impartiality. A shame Sky haven't done their own local commentary as I quite want biased commentators... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfcfan5 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 England could be 3 or 4 down now easily. Got to use this luck and make a big partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a rest - this innings has been a carbon copy of England's last 3 so far - give the bowlers the first 4 overs then get a move on. NZ have a good bowling line up and aren't going to give it away, but the idea they're on top is for the birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZ are masters at defending these low scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaarsh Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'd advise you pile on as even after losing a wicket England are 3-1 on favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 WC final gets into Root’s head and he has a meltdown. One more wicket in next few overs and this will look very dicey indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Doull started off excellent but now he thinks they've got a real chance he's becoming pretty irritating to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 This is a tough pitch to bat on. Movement. Slows up. 240 looks a very good score. Need a big partnership between these two because this is not a Buttler scenario in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
