OT: Cricket World Cup 2019

[vvvrulz]

India go ahead on ladder position

 

[Blair]

Apparently it’s sounding like more chance of umbrellas being raised than bats

Tell me you're joking?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Tell me you're joking?

No I haven’t looked myself but my mate was saying forecast is for a bit of rain today and then for the next week it gets worse, chance of both semis and final being in danger

 

[vvvrulz]

Yeah apparently it’s been pissing down over there for two days and no signs of relenting.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Won the toss and going to bat.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Guptill survives the first over.
No runs from it and not overly confident.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Nicholls survives and again no runs in the 2nd over.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Guptill gone for 1.
FMD.
Just pushed at it and went to slip.
Last game for Black Caps?
1-1 off 3.3

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Nicholls instead of Munro is the safe conservative option and not what we need to win this semi

 

[Philip_Smith007]

First boundary on the last ball of the 7th over.
India well on top 18-1 after 8.

We obviously dont have a lot of options with opening batsman as Guptill needs some time to get confidence back in lower grades. Looks a complete mess mentally.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

27-1 off 10 over.
2.7 runs an over is bloody slow now days.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

50 comes up in 14th over.
52-1

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Building nicely as long as we don’t lose a wicket while continuing to lift the rate. Going to need a special knock from numbers 6-8 near the end to get us up to a challenging total i would say

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Nicholls gone for 28.
Clean bowled by spinner Jadeja
69-2 18.2overs

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Mammoth selection mistake from Potato Stead leaving Sodhi out

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Mammoth selection mistake from Potato Stead leaving Sodhi out

Spinners have put the breaks back on.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Trickled past 100 in the 28th over.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Williamson 50 off 79.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

We will be lucky to get to 250 at this rate.
