My word that was dumb by a senior player

 

[Around the Wicket]

A typical Dre Russ innings, slogs a six and a couple of fours and then gets out to Boult trying to slog again.

Watching this innings almost every batsmen have got out slogging, they panicked early after being 3 runs off 2 overs

Commentators are right, batsmen shit the bed often when they don’t get a road

It’s why you need balance and this will be even more critical in this WC. It’s why I’m a fan of Green coming in for David. Green gives us a safety blanket down the order.

Windies will either score 200 odd or barely get 100 nothing in between they have no genuine bats

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At least get 130-135 and you have something

These two are showing the others how to bat sensibly

 

[compact72]

The Windies are still a chance of getting a total of 130 to 140 of they can bat out the overs.

No chance now

 

[Around the Wicket]

Commentators were on drugs saying pre match 180 was target.

Windies batsmen heard them and batted like batsmen after 10 scotches

This was a 150 absolute max pitch. Still feel 135-140 is a good score if you bowl well too

 

[Around the Wicket]

Balls staying low, be a hard chase if they can scrape above 125.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Not ideal having Mitchell bowl the last over, Rutherford has already hit him for a couple of sixes.

2nd last Windies a chance now

 

[Around the Wicket]

Windies get a few wickets early NZ will shit the bed here

 

[compact72]

Fantastic last few overs. Wow weee

 

[magpiemaniac44]

All momentum with the Windies now, will be a tricky chase knowing a loss and they're out

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Amazing batting by Rutherford. The Kiwis used all their best bowlers and were left with Mitchell & Satner to bowl the last two overs. That cost them big time.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

See what happens when you bat properly and then capitalise when you are in unlike Dre Russ and his slogging from ball one.

Great innings

150 is a winning score or very close to it

 

[Around the Wicket]

Hosein looks quite the talent

 

[Around the Wicket]

Massive moment Allen dropped on 24

Didn’t cost them, out two balls later on 26.

 

[compact72]

NZ in trouble here

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ravindra out now lol

 

[Gough]

Catching practice.

 

[Gough]

Every time I see an ad for razors I think of that Late Show sketch.

 

[compact72]

That was a ripper

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That was a ripper

Windies are the one team that I don't want in a semi, two utterly elite spinners and we suck at them, Head playing spin (good ones not England's party pies from a batsman) early is never a good thing.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Even Roston is getting a trundle now
