Bittersweet watching this at the stadium, an absolute beautiful mauling by Southee, but we're probably only gonna get no more than 20 overs of Black Caps smashing it!

Oh well bring on the 6s!!!

I haven't even had a piss break yet and BCs coming back out to bat already!

What on earth just happened?

Last time I was looking at the scores about an hour ago, England were 3/91 from 22 overs. Now I see they were bowled out for 123 and New Zealand are batting before the tea break????

England's overall net run-rate is going to take a big hit if NZ get this over and done with ASAP.

OT, I understand with the Quarter-Finals the scheduling of having Australia playing in Adelaide and NZ in Wellington so the co-hosts can play those matches at home (just like they did in the last World Cup with India and Sri Lanka). I have absolutely no problewm with that. However, having England designated at Melbourne and Sri Lanka in Sydney is unfair IMO to the Group B sides, who have no idea where and when they will be playing. Have no idea who came up with that idea

and who exactly where these dropkick Pommy cricketers who were boasting about beating Australia in the opening match in Melbourne after losing the Tri-series final in Perth?

Sadly, I think as crap as they are, they'll still make the Quarter-Finals as the gap between them and Bangladesh/Afghanistan/Scotland is too big. I don't see either of those three pulling off an upset. However, put England in Group B and they definitely wouldn't make the Quarter-Finals.
