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

[Plugger35]

Ravindra taking Moeen downtown for six.

We are witnessing a breakout star here folks.

 

[CakeEater]

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

The NZ or the English one?

A glorious straight drive by Conway. Kiwis well on top at the moment.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Who’s this Ravindra campaigner? Looks elite.

Doesn’t he bowl too?

 

[Plugger35]

It's a Kiwi onslaught from Ravindra and Conway.

Yes but got tonked

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Yes but got tonked

Making up for it now

He's been around the NZ set up for a while and been in and out of the team, he has a lot of talent and is finally starting to show it.

With the bat anyway, still needs to improve his bowling.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra brings up his fifty in style with another six.

He has arrived.

 

[010203]

50 for Ravindra. Finn Allen got a match defining 50 in the opening game of last year's World T20. Ravindra is on his way to following suit.

These two will be opening together when Williamson comes back.

Absolutely, Young can f*** off back to the Plunket the plonker.

Just looked he’s only 23!!!! Cam green’s age

 

[Plugger35]

Conway is ruthless once he gets his eye in.

The Saffers must be kicking themselves for letting him go.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Suk on that England

 

[BrownYouGun]

Conway must be close to the best bat in the world at the moment - I’ve never not seen him make runs

 

[Plugger35]

Shastri raving about Ravindra, that's high praise coming from a guy of his standing, an ex-great Indian player and coach.

 

[The Passenger]

Didn't see this coming.

Keep the foot on the floor NZ - plenty of wickets in the sheds to readjust if one (or both) of those two get out.

Not to mention you could do some serious psychological damage to another contender if you blast past their target in 35 to 40 overs.

 

[Plugger35]

Ian Ward saying the drinks break has come at a good time for England, they need more than a drinks break, they need a wicket.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Some of the cleanest ball striking I’ve seen. Just textbook every ball

 

[Plugger35]

Buttler going for a hail mary review, that didn't look out.

 

[NYRB]

Looks like a review in hope and to slow down the NZ momentum.

 

[Plugger35]

A wasted review for England, they look cooked.

 

[grumbleguts]

I don't hate a single AFL team anywhere NEAR as much as I hate the English cricket team, this is wonderful.

 

[NYRB]

In the IPL, this was the ground where one of the KKR batters his six sixes in an over in the chase.

Its a better chasing wicket IMO.
