OT: Cricket World Cup 2019

[Blair]

This thread is triggering my PTSD

On a personal level, Dr Meth, what chance I'd find 'closure' if I actually saw one ball bowled of England's innings, oh, and the 'Super Over'?

I think I need to confront this, especially the flashbacks triggered the other night at Leeds.

Glad I'm not alone.

There will never be closure until we win a cricket World Cup.

Could you please change the thread title to OT: NZ Cricket - thanks!

Will do, but I think an admin needs to do it, as the original post is too old.

You're right, closure comes with ultimate victory. Roll on India 2023.

Gosh I hope we win a CWC and a NRL premiership before I cark it!

You've just got me thinking about my old man. Not so much the CWC but the Warriors. He's 'West Coast' league from way back, but 80 next year. What a schmozzle. He deserved so much better, I reckon.

More chance of a CWC than a Premiership I think.

Which is saying something when you know that there's two chances at a CWC in the next eight years, but eight chances at a premiership.

No chance of a CWC in 2023 guys.

I hope he kept that jersey, they're like gold now and I want one, bad. There's one on ebay with a starting bid of $299. Tell him he's dreaming!

Anyone back to the counsellors this morning after that game yesterday ?

 

[Rich102]

How did they decide to go with Siefert facing the first ball?
Monroe , Guptill & De Grandhomme would have been my choice.

Basically because he is the only one of our players with the ability to play the ramp/scoop shot to Jordan who is fairly proficient with the Yorkers

Does anyone really give a shit about the T20?

The "it was a tie" ties were funny, but ultimately backfired lol

Roll on the tests, although management are talking about rotation and somehow Ferguson is a must for the test side - lunatic stuff at home, maybe for Southee in Straya - but seriously have they not been checking what Wagner has done (I've never understood it - but don't understand why they'd want to replace him!)

Crazy how Wagner is always the first guy left out

Quick bowling stocks are probably as strong as I can remember them ever being, Boult, Southee, Wagner, Henry and Ferguson is a pretty good 5

Far removed from the days of Morrison, De Greon, Kennedy, Walmsley etc of the mid 90s

God, remember when Morrison and Willie Watson were our strike pair?
