Match 4: NZ v Eng t20 tri-series at Wellington Feb 13, 2018 NZ WIN

[TheParraboy]

kicks off 5pm AEDT

Not sure who I want to win, both sides will still have a chance to make the final if they lose but will rely in NRR to get there. NZ with a game in hand

Think kiwis should win this??

NZ has 3 games left. If NZ win 2 of the 3 - they're in the final.

If NZ only win 1 game, to go through it has to be a huge defeat of England, with close losses in the remaining 2 matches, as NZ after just 1 lost game is still lower on NRR than England is after 2 losses.

I am sure right now that the NZC Board are not welcoming the prospect of a nigh empty rugby stadium in Auckland hosting a t20 final between England and Australia. But I think Lynn would be itching to get to those Eden Park straight boundaries already. At just over 50 metres long, he could bunt and chip shot 6's back over the bowler's head.

 

[TheParraboy]

Be a bit of a shame if poms win the next two games and kiwis beat Australia

Not sure who came up with the timing of this series but its sucked all excitement out of it.

T20 works best if its played in a block, games every few days makes interest disappear very quickly.

true

so many changes to the one competition
having the 2nd half of the comp in another county, game time starting few hours earlier (AEDT) and not televised (unless you have fox)

kiwis should benefit as they should be playing the next 4 games, including the final

 

[TheParraboy]

game on


any kiwis pumped??

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms won toss, sent kiwis in to bat

 

[Pig Hunter]

Kiwis should flog the Poms

We got Bumble as guest commentator.

Not bad, could be worse.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bumble !!!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Big crowd in

 

[ANTiLAG]

Bumble !!!

Nasser made the trip as well

Zzzzz

The pitch has got ebola.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Slowww outfied directly straight in the lush green. Ball was zig zagging.

 

[Pig Hunter]

Why wasn't Bumble commentating the ashes this year?

Notts used to deliberately make pitches like this. Green at one end for Hadlee and Rice and either brown or bald, ideal for spin at the other.

UK broadcast wasn't sky uk who is his regular employer. It was BT sport or summing.

Prolly took a holiday instead of a bits n pieces broadcast role. He did BBL when Flintoff played, he did well.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Munro out at deep fine leg AGAIN.

He plays the same shot regardless of field

I like him as a player, and rate his talent, just wish he did more with it. He could leave that ball and collect a wide everytime.

 

[ANTiLAG]

That KW smile when England miss a run out on him

 

[Iafeta]

KW is completely clueless at the moment in T20. He should have been run out by 3 foot first ball. Looks like a cat on a hot tin roof.
