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

[Hasan123]

Desperate review to be honest.

 

[Markhor]

Desis need to learn from New Zealand. I don't see any unfit New Zealander. All are so brilliant athletes.

Meanwhile Aamer Sohail has criticised Pakistan's recent focus on fitness saying "are we training sumo wrestlers or cricketers".

 

[Bilal7]

England would have loved to have Moeen Ali in their lower-order today. As it stands, these two have to take it very close otherwise a collapse is on.

 

[Madplayer]

Review lost.

Dharmasena correct for once.

 

[sweep_shot]

Review lost. But, it was not a bad review. Not many overs left anyway.

 

[AdamM97]

Not every Indian cricketer, Sharma, grandpa have belly. Jadhav is also unfit.

I think the notion of Indian players being fit is exaggerated. There are plenty of players who don’t care about their diets.

 

[big_gamer007]

Indian cricketers are extremely fit. This statement applies to other Asian countries.

Some are. But Rohit, jadhav, Kuldeep, Chahal, shami, bhuvi, pant etc are nowhere compared to these guys.

Pandya and Kohli are proper athlete type fit.

 

[Gullycricket]

Dharmasena face at each review is priceless

 

[Madplayer]

This was the throw that got dhoni out lol

 

[Bilal7]

Rohit Sharma is fat and Bumrah, Bhuvi and Chahal are skinny as hell.

What does being skinny have to do with fitness?

 

[Madplayer]

Some are. But Rohit, jadhav, Kuldeep, Chahal, shami, bhuvi, pant etc are nowhere compared to these guys.

Pandya and Kohli are proper athlete type fit.

Genetics also play a role.

 

[Boi]

One wicket and England are done for. These two need to take it deep.

 

[sweep_shot]

99 needed from 84 balls.

 

[Afhan Ali]

2 mightly deliveries are coming

 

[big_gamer007]

Meanwhile Aamer Sohail has criticised Pakistan's recent focus on fitness saying "are we training sumo wrestlers or cricketers".

Haha the mentality needs to come from grass young age. Unless they start enjoying working for fitness then they would always feel it as a burden.

Pakistani ex players talk non sense on media. Even they don't believe half the things they say.

 

[Rana]

Poor ball

 

[Green Patriot]

Under 100 runs needed now.

 

[Madplayer]

Stupid bowling by Lockie.

He doesnt look like a pressure player.

 

[S2000Magician]

Bro pant is extremely fit. He is a gymnast. Rest of your list is correct.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Its coming home

 

[sweep_shot]

Loose delivery from Ferguson. Needs to be tight with the length.

 

[Kianig89]

Anyone to emulate Akram 92

 

[Madplayer]

If two wickets fall now England will find it impossible to win.

 

[Pakistanian]

The pressure gettin to Kane

 

[Hasan123]

Try a yorker.

 

[Bilal7]

Let's see if Stokes can avoid choking this time around.

 

[Kianig89]

Wicket wicket Nz do it

 

[Ahmed216]

They should bowl only slowers to buttler

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Looks like wasy chase..

 

[szundercover]

Lockie will be the key.

 

[big_gamer007]

Genetics also play a role.

Kohli and pandya have same genetics so does jadeja. All about hard work and discipline and proper diet

 

[sweep_shot]

Required run rate is 6.98.

If it goes above 8, it can get quite tough.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng Sl Nz will have one thing in common after today final back2back finalists

 

[Chokli]

2 in 2 coming soon

 

[topspin]

Let's see if Stokes can avoid choking this time around.

You're acting as if Stokes is a big choker than Moeen Ali lol.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great comeback from Ferguson. 3 dot balls in a row.

 

[Ahmed216]

Stokes was always going to be key on this wicket

 

[Madplayer]

Kohli and pandya have same genetics so does jadeja. All about hard work and discipline and proper diet

Kohli, Pandya and Jadeja are all super fit. Am i missing something here?

 

[szundercover]

Why bringing neesham?!

 

[Madplayer]

2 in 2 coming soon

2 in 2 kya bhai? Wickets or boundaries?

 

[S2000Magician]

Kohli, Pandya and Jadeja are all super fit. Am i missing something here?

He meant to say grandpa.

 

[Ab Fan]

This will be England match if these two stay for 5 more overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

England hasn't hit a six yet. Surprising to see.

 

[Hasan123]

Luck for Stokes.

 

[Markhor]

How many chop ons today ?!

 

[Madplayer]

People dont get it but Kane williamson is playing the waiting game here. Perfect on this pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

Required run rate is 7.25.

 

[big_gamer007]

Kohli, Pandya and Jadeja are all super fit. Am i missing something here?

Yes how come genetics play a role when kohli, pandya have same genetics as the unfit guys in Indian/Pakistani team?

Genetics play a role in sprinting, boxing, powerr based sports type physique. I think in cricket the desi players just lack discipline to work on fitness unlike New Zealanders who from the moment they are born go into outdoor sports or something.

 

[Hasan123]

Neesham job is to keep it tight.

 

[szundercover]

It wont be easy hitting boundaries on this pitch.

 

[Madplayer]

He meant to say grandpa.

But dhoni is also fit

 

[shah_1]

How many close WC finals we have seen?

 

[sweep_shot]

Much needed boundary from England.

86 needed from 73 balls.

Crowd is making noise.

 

[Robert]

Pressure.......

 

[Markhor]

How many close WC finals we have seen?

1975, 1987 and 1992 are the only ones that come to mind in terms of scorelines.

 

[Chokli]

2 in 2 kya bhai? Wickets or boundaries?

Wickets ala 92

 

[Ab Fan]

England winning this as these two continue to stay. If either men stay, England will win this.

 

[Hasan123]

England are ahead now. If one of these bats till the end, they should win.

 

[sweep_shot]

This is the best WC final I have seen in my lifetime. All the finals since 1996 have been one-sided.

 

[big_gamer007]

He meant to say grandpa.

Dhoni has good enough fitness till few years back. He's 38 officially and being from Jharkhand probably 40+ in reality so it's understandable. Still pretty decent fitness wise for his age.

 

[Madplayer]

I know Genetics is not an excuse to be unfit. I wasnt implying that at all. What i was trying to say is that some people have great genes and they find it easier to stay in good shape. While the ones with average genes have to work harder. Kohli mentioned it himself once that KL Rahul has a naturally lean physique without much effort while Kohli himself has to be extra careful about what he eats.

 

[Ab Fan]

Stokes, the player of the tournament...

 

[Madplayer]

These two are doing everything to ruin Kane's plans.

 

[sweep_shot]

Even though a boundary is coming in every over, they are not accelerating hard. RRR is increasing.

 

[Pakistanian]

Stokes is so mentally strong compared to other english cricketers

He's from New Zealand lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Stokes, the player of the tournament...

How? He can be player of the final but definitely not tournament.

Ah ok fair enough.

I am no doctor but wouldn't kids growing up playing outdoor sports and eating healthy food shape their own body structure?

 

[Ab Fan]

A Kiwi hurting NZ just like a Saffer hurt SA last World Cup.

 

[Kianig89]

79 from65 gettable knowing Santner or Neesgam also has to bowl

 

[Ab Fan]

How? He can be player of the final but definitely not tournament.

He has been the best guy from England, brilliant with bat, good with bowl and exceptional on field.

 

[Hasan123]

Worth putting a slip in here.

 

[sweep_shot]

Kiwis are generally polite. Stokes seems a bit too rough to be Kiwi.

 

[in_cutter]

Slowly does it Eng. No need for anything rash.

 

[topspin]

At the halfway mark would like to have seen these non-British looking "neutrals" swapped with those watching it at Trafalgar Square.

 

[Enforcer]

Lol England winning it easily by six wickets. Two greatest clutch player ever are batting. Buttler is the ranked 1 player for me. These two showing India how to chase a total

 

[sweep_shot]

He has been the best guy from England, brilliant with bat, good with bowl and exceptional on field.

That is not how MOTS is decided. Stats should be the decider.

Rohit, Starc, Shakib, Williamson - one of them should be MOTS.

 

[Kianig89]

Anyone to emulate Akram btw alot of finals have been won chasing

 

[Pakistanian]

Anyone to emulate Akram btw alot of finals have been won chasing

Of the last 4 world cup finals, two were won defending totals.

 

[Kianig89]

Lot of Indian in ground when a boundary is scored they act as Eng fan when a wicket is taken they act as MZ fan

Butteler sweeps for 4

 

[sweep_shot]

72 needed from 60 balls. This game can go either way.
