CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[Stag]

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

[Mokey]

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?

[Mokey]

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

This pitch is a dog. The secret is India have bowled consistently and not bowled any pies or half-volleys to break the shackles.

I do not have faith that an attack with Henry and Santner can replicate the Indian's consistency with the ball - but I guess anything is possible.

Sounds like it's a new pitch so was hard to predict how it would play.

If Henry has one of his good games then he'll be a real handful.

Yet all the experts pre-game had looked at it and were predicting a belter.

[Mokey]

We are going to have to bowl like demons. No wides, no full toss pies, no leg side crap. And field like hangry tigers, pouncing on everything.

So disappointed with this batting effort.

[Mokey]

And Neesham goes.

[ACT Crusader]

Someone remind me why Latham is in the side?

[mariner4life]

We are meekly bowing out.

Actually we've been meekly bowing out for more than a week

Today's pitch or the one from the 1999 semi-final? I feel like they've spent more time on that one.

@mariner4life all downhill since our “big” win against Sri Lanka

We're specialising in slow awkward runs?

[hydro11]

Even if the pitch is slow, the outfield is definitely fast. You would expect to hit more than 11 boundaries in 41 overs.

[No Quarter]

Grr starting to rain which means wet field which means wet ball when we bowl. Not cool.

[Mokey]

Damn it, why did it have to be Neesh out rather than Taylor. The only thing Ross is doing is clogging up one end with a test match run rate.

[No Quarter]

How was that not a wide. Well above his head.

[Mokey]

Yeah CdG. Spank that ball.
