archer finally gets a wicket by just lashing it at the top of off stump on the full.

Give Trent Boult a couple of nasty ones to the hand?

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #4042 on:** July 14, 2019, 02:43:18 pm »

Might have got 250 if Latham didn't give his wicket away like that.

Good from Archer there.

Gonna be pretty close though I think

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4044 on:** July 14, 2019, 02:43:27 pm »

runs on the board. competitive score in a final and this isn't going to be an easy chase.

Ducking the last ball of the innings?

Chakan · « **Reply #4046 on:** July 14, 2019, 02:43:34 pm »

Last ball of the over and he ducks under it?!

Frank Becton · « **Reply #4047 on:** July 14, 2019, 02:43:37 pm »

Considering they were 103-1 that's a below par score. England did well to come back from the average start.

First 10 overs and how England play Boult will be important. Pitch seems a bit slow , England probably favourites to win this as they could have been chasing 30 or 40 more.

Poor from Morgan that Woakes didn't get his full 10 overs in. Rashid bowled a couple of overs too many.

I predicted low 200s when Williamson went, they finished slightly above that.

We should be winning it from here though.

Great last over from Archer and a very chaseable total. Happy with that.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #4050 on:** July 14, 2019, 02:52:23 pm »

Hinges on the start again. Could go a long way to winning or losing it (captain obvious!). Confident but NZ are well in the game and will Andy their chances. About 60/40 in England’s favour I reckon.

Feel like we are at least 20-30 light but we are in it purely because it’s a tricky wicket and our bowlers are pretty canny at working the conditions

Max_powers · « **Reply #4052 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:03:33 pm »

Really hoping for a NZ win here. It would be one of best underdog stories in a WC.

At 103-1 it was looking like 270-280 but after losing a few quick wickets they showed at lot of guts to get to 240 in the end. It is defendable but they will have to bowl well.

Review for lbw first ball

Umpires call- phew!

Fun stuff so far. The deliveries are so good they can’t get bat on them.

It did look out to be fair. These two bowling superbly so far.

Why? The umpires call rule is there for a reason. If less than half the ball is hitting (albeit only just less) then it's going to be a difficult call. That being said, I thought it was out in real time.

The Ross Taylor decision was 10 times worse.

Yosser0_0 · « **Reply #4064 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:20:49 pm »

Commentators moaning mercilessly about the DRS decision - the ball tracking system has been found to have errors, it isn't perfect that's why it goes to the umpire's decision on the marginals you bellends.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4065 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:22:07 pm »

anything being umpires call cannot be called a shocker.

it looked out though.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #4066 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:24:28 pm »

242 looks a very very long way away.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #4067 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:24:50 pm »

Boult is a fantastic bowler. If he bowled 90 odd miles an hour he’d be unbelievable.

The ball will stop moving after around 10 overs. As long these can get through this spell things will become a lot easier.

No doubt. But you'd fancy Roy and Bairstow to score quicker than Williamson and Co regardless of the conditions

Robinred · « **Reply #4071 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:27:32 pm »

Very dangerous bowling, yet I repeat, these Kookaburra balls don’t continue to hoop around after 10-12 overs.

Have to negotiate this with even more luck than we’ve already had.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4072 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:28:19 pm »

not going to be easy to get these runs

Definitely, just got to hope there aren’t too many back in the shed by then.

Roy out- still just enough movement to trouble the batsmen
