In other news covers are coming off. No overs lost..yet.

I guess a no result would suit England nicely. Though that will probably be unlikely. With potential DL connotations in play would NZ have been better off chasing?

EDIT: Now overs are being lost.

Nz won the toss on an overcast day where rain is forecast and they chose to bat? Seems odd.

Massive drop on Ronchi, he's blowing them away here.

Yeah big dolly. Great fun watching him bat. Just swings hard and the balls goes is various directions.

Cummins must be furious!

100 for Williamson.

100 from 96

New Zealand 254/3 (39/46 ov)

The Broom is going too slow. Get him out and bump Corey Anderson up.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #85 on:** June 2, 2017, 03:19:10 pm »

And now Broom runs his captain out

Tidy knock of 100 though.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #86 on:** June 2, 2017, 06:43:24 pm »

No Result.

Mwahaha

as they're using it again after using it for ipl, I wonder why they put what sounds like someone farting into that southall travel thing on sky.

A draw.. does that suit England??

Simplifies things. Win one of the next two and we're guaranteed to make the Semis.

Tough with no Matthews. Never know though. Slinger is back for first time in 2 years.

We do, though. Those days are passed. Malinga's got his own fitness issues.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #99 on:** June 3, 2017, 02:38:29 pm »

299 then. Sri Lanka will be happy considering they were 180 odd for 1. Tough ask without Matthews to get these runs. But a chance.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #100 on:** June 3, 2017, 02:44:00 pm »

weird innings from SA all around. it'll probably be enough though.

also an extremely slow innings too

Ha! Bit of an old skool containing performance from SL with none of the quality needed to knock the batsman over.

If the skipper turns up we'll get over the line. Otherwise, the expectation for the tournament is: avoid wooden spoon.

Just need our bowlers to go the job, think the batsman let themselves down a bit, other than Amla of course.

I expect your bowlers will get the job done, but it's scorching today in south London. SL are usually packed off before June when we visit so it's as close to familiar conditions as we'll ever get to see in England.

So much for that. Need a wicket otherwise this one is done done.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #107 on:** June 3, 2017, 03:41:45 pm »

Rabada having a nightmare. Dropped a simple catch and now keeps bowling wides or getting smashed. Good.

Go on Sri Lanka.

Very inexperienced batting line-up. This is the high point of our tournament.

Sri Lanka are rattling along here. If SA don't dismiss one of these soon they're toast.

1/3 of the way there, 1/5 of the overs gone, 1/5 of the wickets gone. This is Sri Lanka's to lose.

Half-hearted effort from you, mate. We all know Chandimal will flatter to deceive, use up loads of balls, and get out leaving SL too much to do.

Baie geluk suid-afrika!
