England in New Zealand: 5 game ODI series - ENGLAND WIN SERIES 3-2

[JJ]

Getting pounded - really was a disgraceful batting effort minus Kane - not withstanding the key #8 standing up

But how good was big Colin's catch - he's a funny bastard, kind of have to like him, very much a throwback to the 70's or 80's

 

[Bazal]

Poor from Southee, what's the point in keeping Munro going? It's like he's given up.

Haha caaaatch!!

Haha caaaatch!!

Must have been some sort of alliance surely, no one tried to muscle in

Yep old mate next to him will be wanting a few bucks i reckon

Tim Southee, best kiwi captain since Lee Germon.

Yup , your top order let you down big time, irrespective how good the n8 is

When you play a good side, and most of us would say poms are a decent ODI side, you cant leave it to 7,8,9,10 to win you the game with the bat

Could be without Kane and Taylor for game 3

If that's the case we should just default... or run out the Otago 2nd XI or something

Santner to 6?

And yet the Poms are packed full of all rounders themselves Parra. Batting deep is England's strength and key ingredient to winning more games than opposition teams even if opposing teams have more fancied top order batting.

Santner to 6?

Doubtful. Lots of NZC fans were hoping Chapman would claim a stake on Niccol's spot at 6.

Be very nice if over time Santner earns an elevation higher in the batting order, though.

Once Anderson is back fit and hopefully in form, Hesson has more freedom to working out a playing xi. He is fond of 2 spinners. But CDG is just not reliable enough with the ball yet.

 

[Hutty1986]

Kandy Kane is back

 

[_snafu_]

Pitch crumbling already.

Santner to 6?

But who will bat at the vital position of 8?

 

[jargan83]

Great call Bumble

“You don’t want to be bowled out within 50 overs”

Groundbreaking stuff.

 

[Iafeta]

Personally I believe England are ahead of the game given the surface. Will be a tough chase IMO. Especially if Buttler gets going.

 

[Iafeta]

Is Santner injured or did he shag Kanes pet sheep?

 

[Iafeta]

Big big wicket. Stokes gone.

 

[Iafeta]

Another massive wicket.

 

[Mr Angry]

lol@ England, run out-a-thon
