WC 1st Semi Final: India v New Zealand - Manchester 9/7/19 (NZ won by 18 runs)

[KeepingTheFaith]

Neesham threatening to break that strike rate of 80 barrier.

Sounds like sleep because you're clearly dreaming.

Your user name contradicts that pessimistic post!

De Grandhomme can bring this home...!!!

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Run rate over 4 an over.

Yeah! Suck on that India!

 

[Hutty1986]

What the f**k are NZ doing? Is the wicket spinning like a top, or India bowling really, really well? This is absolute shite.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

De Grand levers and Rosco destroying Kane's plan to set India a tricky 190 target

I feel this is going to be a Watto-esque review

 

[jargan83]

And that’s why I’m not an umpire lol

Oh no.... great review!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Nice shot you silly silly man

Decent bowling, absolute shithouse batting.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

I blame the kiwis shit collars for this performance

If you squint, they look like French Maids.

Kiwi batsmen just don’t knock it around as much.

 

[Mr Angry]

f**king rain.

 

[Mr Angry]

Ellyse Perry > Jacques Kallis.

 

[vvvrulz]

We have nowhere near enough runs, just hopeless.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Rain about to end the day. We come back tomorrow where the kiwis resume at 5/211 after 46.1.

It's apparently an even worse forecast for tomorrow. If there is no play then India go through as they finished above NZ on the table

 

[TheParraboy]

We have nowhere near enough runs, just hopeless.

With these conditions and rain , hopefully the deck becomes harder to play on than it was today

Forecast is ok for tomorrow , just cloudy at this stage. Let’s hope the wicket is a minefield

 

[shiznit]

Understood.... but in years to come...

Will you remember the lovely sleep you had tonight or...

Will you remember the time you watched NZ battle to a competitive total on a tricky pitch and then defend it with brilliant bowling to make a World Cup Final ...

I gotta say I’m pretty happy with my decision...

Either way I recorded it just incase it turned out special...

 

[hineyrulz]

Solid first days play for NZ, hopefully they can bat till after lunch and get the total up near 400.

 

[JJ]

Difficult wicket from what I saw - although we might regret not having 2 spinners...

The two class bats in the Indian lineup are key, like ours were/are

We'll have to bowl well, and hope that Trenty snares Sharma and Kohli early

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Surely India should have been awarded the match on Duckworth Lewis?!?
