CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

ACT Crusader

Kane’s hand forced given we are getting nothing from Taylor.

But he didn’t look settled

That's it, I'm putting the tour on

Neesh, straight away off the mark.

He didn't pick the delivery, regardless of what Taylor is doing.

Taylor cost Kane his wicket.

Kane is our premier batsmen, he should be able to up the ante regardless of what is happening at the other end. We really needed him to put the hammer down given he'd faced 100 odd balls. Gutted he didn't come off, but we've got a fair bit of hitting yet.

Taylor striking at 100 since Kane went.

Yeah a bit of bounce that he didn’t quite read.

I get that NQ, but when your 3 and 4 - our two best bats are in - they should be working as a partnership.

Be interesting to know whether Kane says the go slow was deliberate or a reaction to the bowling. If it was deliberate and India do it easy then he should come in for a lot of criticism. Still you got to wait for both teams to bat.

Rossco doesn't have a clue out there

In a few overs, he will need to hit out or get out,

Interesting comment on Cricinfo...

Denton: "I feel like Taylor and Williamson did not learn anything from the game versus Australia. Digging NZ into a big hole again."

We need bare minimum another 100 runs. Unlike us, India have too many in form batsmen.

Yeah for sure. It looked like a conscious decision for Kane to start hitting. I do agree that Rosco needs to get a move on now or he's only going to heap pressure on the lower order.

Only NZ could have all their batsman losing more & more form the closer they get to the finals

Neesh gets a life. Yikes.
Come on, lads. Must we remind you again this is a SEMI FINAL???

mariner4life

If we go on a tear and suddenly score at 9s we are doomed any way. Our only hope is that this is a minefield that's getting worse.

But, they have trips to Wimbledon to organise?

@Donsteppa My bad. Can't let work get in the way of play.
