[Justcrazy]

55 / 0

7 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Roy

 

[Neferpitou]

Talk about an overrated attack, NZ trundlers getting spanked again. They only have one quality bowler in Boult.

 

[Justcrazy]

69 after 8 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Drizziling has started , game stopped.

 

[#GreenRoars]

drizzling and match stopped.

 

[#GreenRoars]

so now today Rain will favor Eng or Nz????

Any bowler would get massacred on these flat surfaces. Boult also got phainty before. He was picking wickets too.

Southee has been a major disapointment. If the ball is not swinging, he is in trouble. He looks like Stuart Binny out there.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Players are coming back

[MarkCooper]

You have to admit, England are not as **** at this format as we used to be. We still lose, but at least we go down fighting.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hales is a walking disaster

 

[CricketAnalyst]

And that guy wanted a guy to score at less than 100 with 15 overs and 7 wickets left.

And then he thought I had egg on my face.

People get with it. 300 is not even par on a good wicket. It's flat out losing.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Flat pitches + Big Bats + Field Restrictions + Talented Power hitters = Massacre

England will chase this in 40 overs.

This is a 375 pitch.

NZ are short by about 30 runs. This is too easy.

 

[Sherlock]

Great start. Hales showing once again, why he shouldn't be dropped from the limited overs.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chase is On

 

[Sherlock]

Roy is actually a very good player, shame he hasn't clicked this series.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hales

 

[Lurker_Ind]

I am disappointed. Hales was set to finish the match by 30th over.

 

[Saurav]

Roy is actually a very good player, shame he hasn't clicked this series.

Born in Durban,South Africa

 

[Sam1]

Playing and learning all his professional game (and most of his cricket in general) at Surrey...

 

[godzilla]

this whole game is basically morphing into baseball. flat pitches are resulting in everyone just heaving across the line constantly, its so boring and negates the skill and strategy there used to be in the one day game.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

NZ picking some lucky wickets here.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Is he at least of English descent?

 

[Enforcer]

England is not winning today.

 

[#GreenRoars]

need another partnership.

This is like Brian Lara Cricket 07 with enhanced graphics.

 

[#GreenRoars]

England 156/2 (19.0 ov)

 

[Belawal2014]

ENG 176-2 (22.0 ov)

 

[Neferpitou]

Is anybody even watching this super exciting cricket?

 

[#GreenRoars]

England 198/2 (25.0 ov)

 

[#GreenRoars]

I am watching. watched last games too.

 

[MarkCooper]

You have to admit when you take Boult away, both teams bowling looks really weak.

 

[Mamoon]

4 consecutive half-centuries for Captain Morgan.

 

[#GreenRoars]

England 227/2 (28 ov) i hope no dramas in the end

 

[MarkCooper]

Today, Morgan is British and not Irish hehe

 

[MarkCooper]

Boult should win bowler of the series despite not playing most of it. The 10 or 12 other bowlers have been poor.

 

[UpInTheAir]

I'll feel sorry for bowlers if this sort of trend continues.

 

[Sherlock]

Good to see the faces of the NZ fielders

That's how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot.

 

[Sherlock]

Agreed.

Really poor. I think Williamson/Root have done well when they've got a chance to bowl.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Clearly, no egg on my face here.

 

[Robert]

Nah. In baseball hardly any runs are scored

Flat pitches + white Kookaburra not swinging + aggressive batters = tons of runs.

England might still lose the series at Durham but I am proud of the way that they have stood up to the much more experienced Kiwis.

 

[Sherlock]

Quality chase but yet again, poor bowling display by both sides.

If only Pakistan could do something similar

 

[Sadevdesai]

Two culprits in these massive run scores and chases. New design of the Bat and Flat tracks !!!

im happy with the way theyve played too, and its finally a far better selection than the dead wood they had at the wc - but its not cricket. its a video game. that much you have to admit, despite the massively improved performance.

Oh I don't know, give them red Dukes and the stumps would be flying.

 

[Jo_Don]

They only managed their first chase of 350 now?

JK, well done to the lions...

 

[shaz619]

England the greatest ODI team in the world Engaland Engaaland Engalandd would get drunk if it wasn't ramadan

 

[Hawkeye]

Today, Morgan is British and not Irish hehe

Spirit of some Yorkshireman got into him.
