So Woakes won't bowl out again. 

Could regret that especially after the shite Stokes dished up

Kumar with a sly smile as he gets one right for a chance

I think we've bowled well, but could have been better. Thought we missed a trick when we had them 4 down and two new players at the crease.

[Captain Howdy]

Oh ffs

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Those don't help. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Those do. 

[Captain Howdy]

Beamer, fucking hell Woakes

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Thankfully he's clever enough to bowl a good ball to negate the free hit.

Remarkable that New Zealand are still going to end up on about 240 considerably how utterly shit they've been.

Yep, they’ve every chance when they should have been out of it

[Captain Howdy]

Just bowl it at Boults wrist

[Jairzinho]

Full bunger half way up off stump and he's tried cutting it...what in the fuck...

Ha, yes.

If NZ do win this, they will be the most benign World Cup winners ever.

Ducking bouncers in an ODI.

 

Fuck.  Me. 

[Captain Howdy]

What do we think then?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

241. Competitive score, certainly not batted us out of the game. NZ will be happy, about 20 runs short imo Archer was very good again, especially at the death. Some prospect if he stays fit. Woakes was very good apart from a wild last over. Plunkett got wickets and pulled back a poor start. 

A sensible chase please, play the opening bowlers on merit and build partnerships. Could go either way depending on how NZ openers and our opening batsmen do. Could do with the sun coming out as forecast. 

[Jairzinho]

Ducks the last ball of the innings...honestly wouldn't pick him ever again.

We should win, and I think we'll know fairly early.

 

Boult needs to take two or three early wickets for them to have any chance. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see it 50-0 after 7.

[s(k)aturation]

 

... I wonder if Sunil Gavankar will open the bowling for NZ.

Now you've done it.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Gave them 30 extras, but if they can't chase that total down, they need fucking.
