CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[MajorPom]

Boult & Ferguson seem to be bandied about as the key craps.

Not in Manchester, and not a cricketer of note, but it looks a bloody good morning to be bowling here.

(is that the most irrelevant comment ever on TSF?)

Well if Henry is on form he might be dangerous too

@Hooroo Lord have mercy. New drinking game to get shitfaced in 5 mins: shot for every time she referred to her husband as Gup or Guppy.

Yup, he's a real wicket taker when he's in a good rhythm, gets plenty of movement off the pitch. Which is why he has such a good strike rate and average.

So one thing I'm unclear on is what happens once our innings finishes. Do they have a full lunch break, or is there a shortened change of innings? Seems weird to start for 15 minutes or whatever it takes and then bugger off for half an hour.

Probably not unlike the second day of a test if a team is 9 down. I imagine any break will be minimal

Nicholls being interviewed....interesting to hear only 2 totals of 250+ have been chased down in the tournament.

[Mokey]

I'd say in the interests of wanting to get India over the 20 over mark so it's seen as a fair game, they would be against a long innings break.

Both - a short innings break, then lunch at the normal time.

Your cricket knowledge in the last month or so has been nothing short of staggering

Hopefully these guys can hit a few into the MAX zone.

We're running well between the wickets but we really need a boundary or three.

Yeah nice one NQ...

[No Quarter]

That's some bullshit

[Squirrel]

As far as Taylor run outs go, that's one of the better ones

[Bones]

@booboo go to bed.

[Donsteppa]

O for Awesome.

[Mokey]

Fark the Craps are tough to support sometimes. Two shit dismissals in two balls.

[Mokey]

@Bones Or at least threaten to so we can get some fours.

[No Quarter]

Thata boy Santner Clause.
