Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[No Quarter]

I'll take that one

@canefan Yuss my reverse psychology worked!

[Chris B.]

I was just about to take you off, Tim!

Nice!!!

An end opened up now.

[Squirrel]

@donsteppa I deleted/aborted my anti southee post too!

[No Quarter]

Right, into the tail, we need to mop it up quick smart before Jadeja scores any more.

[Donsteppa]

Then Southee sprays it way down the leg side to the tail ender first ball...

[canefan]

Wicket or not, Tim is spraying it around a lot

[canefan]

Need to finish this lot for not much

[Chris B.]

Something that hopefully might help us is if the Indian's Duke ball doesn't swing too much for the first 10 overs, that's going to be five overs out of each of their new ball bowlers tanks.

If we battle hard for the first 20 overs, they'll pretty much have to start bowling their spinners.

Ashwin playing a Colin innings.

(surely an effective curse...)

You're all wrong. It was this one and You're all welcome

I'd like to think we are better equipped to combat the swing after having been in country for a few weeks

[canefan]

Aw fuck

[Siam]

@canefan maybe, but there's a run rate to bear in mind too. Don't want to block out maidens from their spinners.

[sparky]

What a morning from the NZ bowlers!

[Donsteppa]

Of all the weeks for Southee to be off his best...

[No Quarter]

Southee normally swallows those. Ugh

[canefan]

I hope we don't pay for dropping Jadeja

[Squirrel]

Maybe this is the test where Southee gets his elusive test 100. Since he's not having his usual success elsewhere

[canefan]

Get Timmee out of the attack and get Kyle in to complete his five for

[mikey07]

If anyone wants a laugh on Facebook go onto the ESPN cricinfo page the comments section has the Indian Fans having a sulk saying it’s fixed and the ICC don’t want them to win
