Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[MajorPom]

Fuck this is hard to watch.

I would love to see these two there at the end, not just because it would be easier on my heart.

The Indian woman commentator is doing her absolute best to convince we going to fail under scoreboard pressure. Gotta start scoring, run rate creeping up, need to start taking some chances ...

And it's working a treat on me.

These commentators are a joke

I’ve tried to switch it on but each time I only last about a minute

The Indian bowlers are doing a fantastic job in challenging bowling conditions …

If the scoreboard pressure doesn't get them we could see a collapse as our minnow batsman are overawed being in the very presence of their boyhood heroes and all time legends.

This absolutely going to peter out into a draw unless we start playing some shots, which only opens up opportunities for their bowlers

[MajorPom]

@rotated Yeah, very true.

A couple of good spin playing batsmen playing one of the worlds best ever spinners. Apparently.

[MajorPom]

@junior you've obviously turned off. 14 runs added in the last two overs. 79 to get off around 28 overs I think.

And I'll stay turned off if this is what it will result in!

[ARHS]

Enthralling. If we get there it is possible the highlight of Henry Nicholls career will become that marvellous catch that marked the turnaround. I have faith but am nervous regardless.

[MajorPom]

Boys playing a few more shots now.

If I keep updating, and don't turn the TV off, and don't have the drink of water I'm gasping for .... could well be 450 posts from me in the next 90 minutes if it helps.

[ARHS]

The fast outfield is our friend. And Shami can't go on forever....

I thought she was British...

[MajorPom]

I'm so fucking thirsty. This is driving me nuts.

Wife about to get back from school run with the kids. Could be about to get rough.

[MajorPom]

@bones She sounds british but if you listen to what she says, there's no doubt she's part of the Indian worship club.

Has been taken off now though, I guess as we've scored a few runs, her scoreboard pressure commentary has lost some of its lustre.

How gutted must Macca be? Finished his last comms stint just before, and straight off to the airport to fly home.

@majorrage oh it's not even the hot one from last year, who at least could have been mistaken for Indian.
