Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

Well, could have been a hell of a lot better given the conditions and the quality of our attack. But, we have both their openers and can have a good crack at Pujara and Kohli after lunch.
Kyle was superb. He's such a tough bowler to face in tests; difficult to score off without taking undue risk and has the ability to get the ball to bounce, swing both ways, and move off the seam. He's going to be a key man for us.
We really need Boult and Southee to come to the party in the second session. They are the senior bowlers and should be taking the bull by the horns. Park cricketer is good for breaking partnerships but he can't bowl long spells, he's just not consistent enough.
Overall I give India the advantage given they had to bat first. But it's still in the balance, a couple of quick wickets after lunch and she's all on.
-
Pretty even stevens, right now.
I really would have wanted 69/3 at lunch having put them in - but, we could make that ground up next session. I'd be reasonably happy with 140/4 at tea - more wickets than that would be a bonus.
Good thing with Pujara there is the scoreboard won't bolt along.

I watched 10 mins. And I’m pissed off with the one eyed, erotic inducing love the Indian comms have for Kohli.
God knows how Doull didn’t punch them.
His paycheck comes in rupees!

@Chris-B you able to watch this mate?
-
@no-quarter Hell yes!
It's not those Spark fluffybunnies in control!

"If he keeps hitting those shots then New Zealand will be in all sorts of trouble."
Calm down!

Haha shit I forget which app I was on. Glad you at least get to see this one

Man Kane really seems to rate CDG doesn't he.

Shit - I thought he'd got Kohli for a second there!
-
That was a fairly risky drive from Kohli. CDG has bowled well to him thus far.

@donsteppa Worth a review IMO.
-
Surprised we didn't start with Jamieson and Boult TBH, not that CDG and Wags bowled badly but we should be giving the ball to our strike bowlers when it's still relatively new.

Especially as each team still has 3 each

That would apply with the Kookaburra but the Duke is swinging nicely for CdG Pace and Wags was bowling well and took a wicket in that spell

Umpires are reviewing?
