New Zealand vs England | Final, World Cup | Lord's | 14th Jul, 2019 | England innings

[Green Patriot]

Come on Kiwis.
Do something.We need a thriller here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Roy reminds me so much of Sehwag. Doesn’t get fazed at all even the bowler is on top. He bats with a clear head with a fearless approach.

Sehwag was simply an above average odi opener

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Get root early...

 

[AdamM97]

England’s top order batsmen are perhaps the most mentally strong top order, always positive intent from Roy and Bairstow.


Aaaand OUT.

 

[battler]

Now get Bairstow!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 more before 75

 

[szundercover]

No one can score big in every game. His approach has brought him a lot of success and has won him many admirers.

Thats true I was spectecle of roy but he has proved me wrong.

 

[Madplayer]

Henry is proving to be a big match player.

This is one more reason why a bowler needs to have the ability to move the ball around.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get Root then massive pressure

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Really really good bowling. EXACTLY the length they need to be bowling actually. Need to pitch it up slightly fuler just like that. The slope will take care of the movement

 

[Titan24]

Root early here and NZ will be in the game

 

[Mamoon]

Sehwag was simply an above average odi opener

Huge underachiever. Should have hit 30+ hundreds.

Mamoon number aik fan

 

[Gullycricket]

What was Aleem dar telling Roy

 

[Mamoon]

He has been very good for years, but they didn’t trust him ahead of Southee.

What was Aleem dar telling Roy

"We did our best"

 

[UP]

What was Aleem dar telling Roy

TV umpire was checking whether it was a legal delivery and if it carried properly to keeper but Roy being usual batmeez ignored Dar.

 

[barah_admi]

Good bowling here but I think the Kiwis really need some quick wickets here, just one is not enough. Maybe change the bowling quickly.

 

[AdamM97]

Fourrr

 

[Madplayer]

He has been very good for years, but they didn’t trust him ahead of Southee.

Well Southee is a good talent too. Henry has always been a decent performer But He has just lifted his game to another level in last 2 matches. He looks a bigger threat than even boult.

 

[szundercover]

This situation will suit root the best.

 

[Titan24]

Good bowling here but I think the Kiwis really need some quick wickets here, just one is not enough. Maybe change the bowling quickly.

Boult and Henry are their best chance with new ball.

 

[Gullycricket]

Hisab baraabar

"We did our best"

LOL

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Will Santner get his banana turn like he did against us? Is the pitch conducive?

 

[szundercover]

Atleast this is not a one sided final.

 

[Madplayer]

Atleast this is not a one sided final.

Right now it is one sided.

Need 2 quick wickets to make a match of it.

 

[Gullycricket]

TV umpire was checking whether it was a legal delivery and if it carried properly to keeper but Roy being usual batmeez ignored Dar.

Roy is getting special treatment.Umpires r afraid of him now

 

[Titan24]

Will Santner get his banana turn like he did against us? Is the pitch conducive?

As Warne says when it seams there is also some spin as well

 

[Madplayer]

Hard to go through Root's defence. Need a jaffa here from Henry.

 

[barah_admi]

Boult and Henry are their best chance with new ball.

Yes but quick changes in bowling forces batsmen to do odd things. The swing is already starting to diminish, maybe bring in Lockie with ab it more pace or surprise them with Santner. Especially as Root can take a while to get going.

 

[szundercover]

Will chacha de grand homme get his banana swing?

 

[Madplayer]

What a ball.

 

[sindhiboy]

He has been very good for years, but they didn’t trust him ahead of Southee.

henry missed too many games he should have played cuz of southee.

however, southee has much more variation which is needed in odis. southees variation is what put nery out of the nz team in all formats, henry usually just gets a few tests

so glad that nz stuck with henry, despite a few bad matches where henry was smashed(like against windies)
have to feel for southee though, he also deserves to be in the team

 

[Madplayer]

Lol whar game are you watching mate? We are cruising!

We who?

 

[Gullycricket]

Henry Akram killing it.Jaffa

 

[AdamM97]

Whatta ball.

 

[JaDed]

Damn man!!! So close

 

[sindhiboy]

henry is constantly nearing the edge

bairstow has batted exceptionally well against the hooping ball against boult and henry in these conditions

 

[szundercover]

Wanna see de grand homme bowling... His bowling is tailor made for these conditions.

 

[AdamM97]

Overconfidence is never good. Not likely, but what if NZ manage to win this?

 

[Rana]

Boult has been poor.

 

[Titan24]

Wanna see de grand homme bowling... His bowling is tailor made for these conditions.

Same was being thought against Ind where ball was moving but he was pretty ordinary on that day.

 

[szundercover]

Man I was right! .280 was a par score here....

 

[szundercover]

Same was being thought against Ind where ball was moving but he was pretty ordinary on that day.

I think the slope might help him.

 

[FanofCricket]

So far England had handled the pressure well compared to India against nz

 

[AdamM97]

Henry is the main threat. Great bowling!

 

[FanofCricket]

Chacha might surprise every one

 

[Titan24]

Eng definitely not cruising like they did against Aus

 

[AdamM97]

Maiden by Henry. ENG 39-1 (10.0)

 

[Rana]

Good cricket match. It will go down to the wire

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

I think De Grandhomme will get pummeled

 

[FanofCricket]

And here comes chacha grandhome

 

[Titan24]

I think the slope might help him.

Your man is here

 

[Rana]

Man I was right! .280 was a par score here....

?? It’s not a flat deck

 

[m.shah]

Here he is the demolisher

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Chacha might surprise every one

Why is he a chacha?

 

[Titan24]

No slips? Atleast one should be there in my opinion

 

[big_gamer007]

We who?

Indians pretending to be Brits to troll Pakistani PPers

 

[Titan24]

Indians pretending to be Brits to troll Pakistani PPers

Its Eng vs NZ going on not Eng vs Pak.

 

[FanofCricket]

And chacha drops bairstow

 

[szundercover]

Chacha what have you done?!

 

[cricketfan11]

[Markhor]

That's a dolly.

[Madplayer]

Indians pretending to be Brits to troll Pakistani PPers

Who are you supporting today?

 

[AdamM97]

Maiden by Chacha. Is

 

[shah_1]

Dropped

 

[Titan24]

CDG hasnt done anything in this WC to remember

 

[rhony]

Wow...what a chance. Is that the game?

 

[shariqnoor]

NZ should only play CdG against Pakistan. Useless otherwise.

 

[FanofCricket]

Chacha what have you done?!

Chacha is now too old to catch those ones

 

[AdamM97]

CdG is rightly called a Chacha. What was that.

 

[big_gamer007]

Who are you supporting today?

Its Eng vs NZ going on not Eng vs Pak.

See the new guys post on one of the treads he made to figure it out why he made new account.

I am not supporting anyone.. Both teams deserve to win, England for being so good in last 3-4 years. And New Zealand I always have soft corner since I share birthday with Nathan astle and as a kid he was one my favourite players because he shares birthday with me (that's how kids work)..

So whoever wins I will be happy.

 

[AdamM97]

16 balls, no runs lol.

 

[szundercover]

Chacha is now too old to catch those ones

Even my dad would have caught this.

 

[FanofCricket]

NZ should only play CdG against Pakistan. Useless otherwise.

True

 

[Rana]

16 dot balls in a row

 

[rhony]

England very lucky to lose just 1 wicket

 

[Rana]

Wow game getting exciting.

Bairstow will go for CDG next over
