WC FINAL: England v New Zealand Lords London July 14 2019 (Result - Tie)

[KeepingTheFaith]

Williamson crawling slower than my 10 month old, but at least you know he can catch up later if he stays in.

Nicholls not so much.

 

[Meth]

Nicholls is going well

 

[shiznit]

Lack of runs worrying now, we can’t settle for 240 odd against this lot

I’m not so worried about SR especially from Williamson....

England have quite rightly gone all out to attack him...

So he’s been just trying to survive this initial onslaught... it’s starting to ease which will free him up hopefully...

 

[Bazal]

Goodness, that's hooped

 

[Front-Rower]

With all the talk about how well NZ bowled in Manchester, and yes they did bowl well but they bowled in the morning. It wasn’t like India came out in the afternoon and batted in the sunshine on a flat wicket.

Which is exactly why I wanted to bowl first

Santner couldn't hit the skin off a rice pudding

I saw some highlights of the 2016 series in England today where Santner took 28 off a Rashid over. It's like he has started trying to imitate Vetorri as a batsmen since then.

Stokes tweaked a calf?

He’s a noodler now. And that’s fine- we have Neesham and CDG who’ll go out to try to bash it

 

[shiznit]

Nicholls starting to get it out of the middle consistently.... he’s done the hard work here... hopefully he doesn’t throw it away.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

All I'm learning here is that there's a stat to prove anything.

He's gotta play the Babar Azam/Joe Root type role now. 270 looks like probably a good enough score potentially, need more than Bradmanson to build around though. Taylor and Neesham and The BigMan and Santer can be the guys to have a dash, and even Bradmanson can up the rate when he wants.

They need to control the innings and keep wickets back

83% of stats are completely made up.

68% of studies agree

 

[shiznit]

Rashid will be interesting... for some reason Williamson gets out to spinners when he looks in...

The only stat that matters...

The only stat that matters...

Is that Martin Guptill's stats?

 

[Meth]

Nice shot Nicholls

 

[shiznit]

Is that Martin Guptill's stats?

More like 5% the way that bloke is going at the moment...

 

[vvvrulz]

Poor ol Gup had a go today, and for a second it felt like that big score finally arrived

 

[Bazal]

Bradmanson opening up, nice shot
