With 2 down we just have to maintain the run rate without losing any more, but always an easier task with more wickets in hand. Not sure why NZ elected to bowl - seems like a decent batting wicket - and the ones we gave away were mistakes rather than great bowling. Maybe they reckon it's going to get even flatter this afternoon? Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Stokes going a bit ballistic. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Top effort that century. Hope Malan will follow suit. Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Crikey, that would be some going. Quote
Wanderlust Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Fantastic recovery from England - looked to be making a huge score and then a very tame ending as NZ came back into it. Great target but gettable on this pitch. Boult's 5 for 51 was outstanding in that carnage. Edited September 13, 2023 by Wanderlust Quote
Nowack Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Flintoff is wicket-keeping and looks definitely in good form. I think all injuries are cosmetic. Quote

He looks like they rebuilt his head with plasticine, poor chap. England need to prevent the Kiwis from getting a solid start - and Young throwing his wicket away is a big help. Quote

Always negative and reluctant praise for us. Is that you Les? Luckily, he’s found a sympathetic (no choice) ear on his other side. I just ignore him.😊 Quote

Proper padded room stuff! 🤪 Quote

If it is Les, I apologise. 😊 I don’t think it is by the way but his Dad may have had a bike. Quote

maaarsh Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Sky commentators (ok Nick Knight but dim) raving about ability of Sam Hain to make the step up to international cricket with immediate success. Feels like it might be relevant to point out the Ireland attack is sub county standard overall. Quote
jeep Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 ODI World Cup started today... England struggling 188/5 off 34 overs... Buttler just gone... Long tail so hopefully we can get to 300 🤞 Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Not been quite at it in the lead up to this tournament. Sometimes great other times poor. Inconsistent batting for sure. Quote
