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

[ARK Rafay]

Who is better as a commentator:

Wasim or Ganguly

I would pick wasim just on the basis that we are both Pakistanis

 

[irfan]

great shot by Nicholls

 

[Markhor]

These guys can set a platform and allow Neesham and CDG to tee off later. Square boundaries are short at Lord's.

 

[Gullycricket]

Ganguly isn't that bad. Lots of knowledge. Guy has had an amazing life.

Yeah better than Manrekar but was pathetic in Ind vs NZ

 

[irfan]

When England are on song though nothing is impossible for them to chase under 350.

on a flat track I agree

 

[QalandarFan]

Damn Henry looking real good!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Lucky Henry nicholls is still there.

 

[Mueez]

I would pick wasim just on the basis that we are both Pakistanis

Same atleast his analysis on fast-bowlers are pretty much knowledgeable.

 

[Hasan123]

Wood and Plunkett have not been great so far.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Saw Ganguly saab near Edgware road trundling away with a Selfridges bag, thought he went back with the Indian team?

 

[FanofCricket]

Like i said before irritating ganguly is their in the final

 

[shah_1]

When England are on song though nothing is impossible for them to chase under 350.

This is not some micky mouse bilateral series.

 

[QalandarFan]

80-1 after 20 in my view at the beginning looking at the pitch was a good start for BZ. They’ve done well here should aim to get 275+

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wood has been quick today. Up to 95mph

 

[Mueez]

Slog sweep by Williamson for a four.

 

[Madplayer]

Runs on the board in a world cup final and you will see how the best of the best batsmen can wet their pants.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

i know he is a pakistani brother and all....... but is Adil Rashid any good?

 

[FanofCricket]

Is it mandatory that Indian commentators should be their in every icc tournament semi final and final despite their own team performance

 

[QalandarFan]

This is not some micky mouse bilateral series.

Cool dude, I forgot England’s last 3 wins came in “Mickey Mouse Bilaterals” thanks for reminding me.

I’m not saying they will I’m just saying 320 target is not totally impossible for them.

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[QalandarFan]

Runs on the board in a world cup final and you will see how the best of the best batsmen can wet their pants.

Just like Kohli, Sharma, and Dhawan did 2 years ago on the flattest of tracks )

 

[shah_1]

I’m not saying they will I’m just saying 320 target is not totally impossible for them.

Chasing is different and they chased a low total in SF on a very flat pitch.

 

[szundercover]

Morgan is sweating right now.

 

[Mueez]

91-1 after 20 overs.

 

[Green Patriot]

This is a pretty good start.Brendon seems happy too.

 

[shah_1]

3 runs

 

[FanofCricket]

Nz looking good

 

[Madplayer]

Just like Kohli, Sharma, and Dhawan did 2 years ago on the flattest of tracks )

True and even in the game against NZ

 

[90MPH]

Lords doesn’t match the atmosphere anywhere close to Edgbaston or Manchester. Even Oval would have been more electric.

 

[in_cutter]

Eng are under pressure

 

[Mueez]

Fielding has been excellent.

 

[szundercover]

World eleven what are you doing?!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Decent start from New Zealand. Kane getting into his stride now and Nicholls playing well.

 

[QalandarFan]

Chasing is different and they chased low total in SF on a very flat pitch.

Ok if those “Mickey Mouse Bilaterals” are so irrelevant, how come the #1 ranked and #3 ranked team are playing the final? Also how come the teams with the best records in “Mickey Mouse Bilaterals” leading into the tournament made the top 4? If your “Mickey Mouse Bilaterals” were so irrelevant and meaningless they wouldn’t be played at all.

Secondly if you seriously want to sit here and criticize this English team after winning 3 virtual knockouts then I don’t know what to tell ya mate, have a day.

I’ll once again state my point - I am not saying that English will chase a 300+ target but saying it is out of their vicinity is ridiculous.

 

[FanofCricket]

It will be tough chasing against the like S of hen bolt ferg santner

 

[Markhor]

Lords doesn’t match the atmosphere anywhere close to Edgbaston or Manchester. Even Oval would have been more electric.

The crowd need to be the 12th Man for England in this final but MCC members more interested in gup shup.

 

[cricketfan11]

For those criticising New Zealand scoring rate, remember they were similarly cautious in the SF vs India but it turned out they assessed the conditions correctly.

NZ are one of the best teams in the world at reading and adapting to conditions.

That is because their captain is one of the best if not the best captain in the world.

This is a hallmark of NZ - Crowe, Fleming, McCullum and Williamson etc

 

[Markhor]

These are not 100-1 conditions.

England have not bowled well bar Woakes.

 

[QalandarFan]

True and even in the game against NZ

Yeah but shhh �� they are still the best batsman in the world. Even though Sharma can’t handle an inch of swing, and Kohli is still the GOAT even though he’s never performed in a knockout. Oh but he did smash those Bangla boys in the 2017 CT SF oh and don’t forget his almighty 30 in the Final in 2011. Lmao if that’s the GOAT idk what to say. Great batsman like I’ve always said but some people go to far with the GOAT. ATG yes not GOAT.

 

[Madplayer]

Pretty calm innings so far. Nothing dramatic.

 

[Mueez]

Rashid is Shadab Khan of England in my opinion.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

My question is: would Rashid get into the PAK XI?

 

[szundercover]

Rashid is Shadab Khan of England in my opinion.

Lol rashid is not even fit enough to tie the shoes of shadab.

 

[Mueez]

My question is: would Rashid get into the PAK XI?

In LOs yes and in Tests no.

Yasir Shah is a better option for Tests.

 

[Mirpur express]

King Kane 150* & top scorer in the Kiwis WC winning campaign

 

[Mueez]

Lol rashid is not even fit enough to tie the shoes of shadab.

Adil picks up crucial wickets too but also goes for runs.

Same as Shadab.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

These are not 100-1 conditions.

England have not bowled well bar Woakes.

Archer was too short. NZ on top. So intelligent the way they play.

 

[Mueez]

Oh man...

 

[FanofCricket]

Kan wiliamson big wicket

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

****...

 

[QalandarFan]

Not Kane! Come on man...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Big wicket

 

[Green Patriot]

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

World cup pressure watch them collapse.

 

[Green Patriot]

Big big wicket.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Don't collapse get to 260

 

[m.shah]

Plunket again picking crucial wickets

 

[shah_1]

Dharmasena is having the worst possible day

 

[James]

Williamson gone, good bowling from Plunkett and great review to get it overturned.

 

[Markhor]

Massive wicket, just what England needed.

Ross Taylor needs to use his experience now and control these middle overs.

 

[Titan24]

Another one for umpire Kumar Dharamsena

 

[FanofCricket]

Now it's upto Ross taylor

 

[Mueez]

Dharmasena is having the worst possible day

He’s had many of those.

 

[Enforcer]

There you go. Bye bye nz

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Gee Whiz.....KW is out....eng on top.....potentially thatz the match.....cmon NZZZZZZ

 

[QalandarFan]

Adil picks up crucial wickets too but also goes for runs.

Same as Shadab.

Are you seriously comparing a 20 year old up start to a 31 year old man who has only played as long as he has because of England’s lack spin quality. Even then Shadab averages 29 at 4.9 compared to Rashid who is 32 at 5.6...........

PS one bad series in SA where he went for runs doesn’t mean he “goes for runs”

 

[Hasan123]

New Zealand are still in a good position.

 

[FanofCricket]

Here comes Rashid

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Ross Darzee will do the job for NZ....nicholls looking comfy....donot think much in the pitch....think this is a 275 pitch...chasing will not be easy....WC finals and alll....crucial is how kiwis handle rashid....

 

[Hasan123]

Nichols has to bat through.

 

[Roaring40s]

Q. Who is Dharamasena?
A. Agent of the Minnow League working against the big three consortium.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

NZ just need to stay calm. No more wickets for the next 10 they have this in the bag

 

[Matty]

We are going to win the world cup

OMG cant believe it!

 

[hb787]

LOL NZ can only win this if they repeat what they did with India. 5-3.

 

[FanofCricket]

Dharmasena is having the worst possible day

Has aleem dar retired haven't seen him from a long time

 

[Gullycricket]

Has aleem dar retired haven't seen him from a long time

He will after this final

 

[QalandarFan]

Taylor needs to stick around.

 

[Green Patriot]

LOL NZ can only win this if they repeat what they did with India. 5-3.

If they give a similar target as the one vs Ind then it will be hard.England dont have a middle order weakness like India.

 

[Markhor]

Plunkett's middle overs record is crazy.

 

[Ahmed216]

Dont think this pitch suits the bang bang style of most english batters. If NZ get 260-270 it will be a very interesting chase with root and stokes the key men
