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

[Plugger35]

Love Nasser, the best cricket commentator bar none, even when England are losing he never shows it and still gives praise to the opposition.

A lot of AFL commentators could learn from him.

NZ wiped the floor with Australia & destroyed their net run-rate in the opening match of the T20 WC...It appears they're looking to do the same to Eng here.

Smithy was elite in the super over commentary. Not many could be that enthusiastic amongst the pain

Was that the opening match? I remember that match crushed my hope. Was it that early?

 

[Plugger35]

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.

I was doubting our decision to bowl first when we won the toss, especially when England got off to a good start but it is paying off now.

Both Smithy and Nasser were commentating in the last few overs of that final and the super over, epic finish matched by epic commentary.

Yeah, first match of the main Super 12 stage part of the tournament.

Never write off NZ in World Cups, we know how to rise to the occasion and cause an upset, just a pity we don't know how to win the thing.

Poms need a ball change.

 

[Plugger35]

Woakes back on and Ravindra sends him back over his head for six.

If anyone didn't know his name they will now, a new Black Caps star has arrived.

 

[NYRB]

Englands bowling has looked toothless tonight. Other teams will see this and look to attack them probably in that opening powerplay . (first 10 overs)

 

[Plugger35]

Lisa Sthalekar is more out of her depth than the England bowlers.

Feel sorry for Athers being paired up with her.

Thankfully he still has Ian Bishop there to give him a chop out.

I dont see what she saying was wrong?

 

[NYRB]

Does seem to suggest that Lisa . S reckons this game is over though.

 

[scottywiper]

If only Curran wasn't a hobbit!

 

[ep2018]

NZ semi finals fodder again.

 

[Plugger35]

I dont see what she saying was wrong?

She's just grating to listen to and she doesn't fit in with the rest of the commentators, I prefer Mel Jones for an Aussie female commentator.

Lisa should stick to the WBBL, she fits in better there with all the other terrible WBBL commentators like Andy Maher and Jason Richardson.

 

[scottywiper]

Satriani, Crowd Chant.... Awesome!

 

[hawkman]

Just in case anyone is wondering

Both teams are on 21 4's and 6 6's

Yeh I agree with that point her not being in tune and too serious half the time. I dont think she has ever said anything on commentary that has made me genuinely laugh.

 

[Plugger35]

A ton for Conway.

Take a bow bro.

 

[hawkman]

And NZ win the boundary count today

 

[Plugger35]

Like I said Conway is just ruthless once he gets in, he just hates getting out, he got a duck in one of the warm up games and he was filthy.

 

[010203]

This is total domination from the New Zealanders.

 

[Plugger35]

And NZ win the boundary count today

I don't think the boundary count will matter tonight.
