2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 1 England v New Zealand 5/10 1900hrs @ Narendra Modi Stadium

[010203]

Great shot by Ravindra. Woakes hasn't started well.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra is in good touch, he is arriving.

 

[NYRB]

Ian Bishop in reference to Ravindra "Very Asian"

 

[Plugger35]

Does Ben Stokes get into this first XI if fully fit?

He gets into any team's first XI if he is fully fit.

 

[Plugger35]

Another close call for Conway.

Curran bowling well here.

 

[NYRB]

Nasser Hussain said this is the first time any team who has bat 1st where every batter made double digits., in a World Cup. Astounding if true.

 

[Plugger35]

Curran with a wicket maiden and then backs it up with a maiden, he's bowling like Boult.

 

[NYRB]

Sam Curran is dialled in to start his spell. 2 Maidens.

 

[Plugger35]

Woakes releasing the pressure that Curran is building at the other end.

 

[hawkman]

Thought Curran would have been the pie thrower of this opening pair.

 

[010203]

Does Ben Stokes get into this first XI if fully fit?

He walks straight in to preaching about the spirit of cricket XI.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like Ravindra has some Indian fans there, that Indian kid was waving around the wrong flag though, that is an Australian flag buddy.

Should be marched out of the stadium.

 

[010203]

Magnificent by Ravindra.

 

[NYRB]

Ravindra is seeing them like a beach ball at the moment.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra goes bang off Wood with a pull shot for six, like I said he is arriving and in a hurry.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ravindra gives no ****s for Wood's pace.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Mark Wood, oof

 

[Plugger35]

Like Simon Doull said when Williamson comes back Ravindra should be opening with Young sent back to the bench where he belongs.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Ravindra is going beserk.

 

[Plugger35]

Conway following Ravindra's lead and is turning it on now too.

 

[010203]

Eoin Morgan, it shouldn't ''hurt'' watching good cricket shots while commentating.

Eoin Morgan, it shouldn't ''hurt'' watching good cricket shots while commentating.

He's still less biased than most AFL commentators.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Ravindra has just got himself another game
