gonna fall short

The worry here is Stokes has been so negative in his approach that he can't just suddenly turn it on. Ask any batsman, it's not easy to go from survival mode to hitting boundaries.

NZ still favourites, a lot to do here for England even with these 2 doing so well.
Needed to be in this position with 10 overs left ideally.

He just needs to stay in and let Buttler go for it. If Buttler gets out, then it's on Stokes.

NZ will win.

Neither team has got more than one over at the required rate, let alone every single one.

This simply isn’t a pitch that you can turn on the taps in the last 10

trint's bowling 3 of these as well so they won't be going for much. given ourselves too much to do and the ball just isn't going to the boundary.

I’d be feeling pretty good out there if I was a kiwi. Can’t see where England’s next boundary is coming from. Just keep doing what they’re doing and England will throw their wickets away in the last 3 overs.

Here we go.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #4249 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:19:37 pm »

Shot

Match is completely on Buttler's bat.

just come from there

Despite the wicket this is still a great game!

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4252 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:22:24 pm »

Quite rightly Stokes doesn’t care about his 50

run rate just keeps on getting worse.

This bowling attack is what captain's dream of. Skilled to the gills.

run rate just keeps on getting worse.

That's normal in this situation though, but 10 an over off two is better than 8 an over off 6.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4257 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:25:35 pm »

stop being good at fielding.

Kekule · « **Reply #4258 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:25:36 pm »

Even with a boundary England still don’t get the required runs in the over.

The commentators are just building England up so they can talk about what a surprise it is NZ kept them out.

kloppismydad · « **Reply #4259 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:26:08 pm »

Depends on Buttler here.

HUGE WICKET!!!!!

That's the match

Probably game over. Gutting

Buttler gone, could be the game

well that's fucked it.

no you fuck off.

Stick a fork in England. They’re done.

Gili Gulu · « **Reply #4267 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:28:07 pm »

Great innings. Poor shot to finish though. If Morgan and Root, the two captains, had played anywhere near as well we'd have gamboled home

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #4268 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:28:32 pm »

Stokes needs to tee off here. His 60 strike rate is hindering more than helping. You caused this RRR, you fix it.

I would say the other 4 getting out early caused it. Can't blame Stokes for needing to rebuild.

Nah, when he came in the required run rate was about 5. It's 9.2 now and that's with Buttler going run a ball.

I'm a spoilt bitch today but this has been worse than watching Mourinho football.

kloppismydad · « **Reply #4272 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:30:55 pm »

This is a lot like the India-NZ semi-final. Buttler's innings was similar to Jadeja's while Stokes is doing his best Dhoni impression.

Nasser Hussain almost crying now.

just go down fucking swinging will you. at least try.

I'm furious with Root and Morgan. Utter dereliction of duty as captains.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4276 on:** July 14, 2019, 06:34:42 pm »

at least woakes had a go.

Dot ball is more important than the wicket

All on Root and Morgan this, literally just needed sensible batting
