QUICK NEW GAME CRICKET

the scores were the major shocks both teams "FAILED" England to score less and NZ to score more!

 

ENGLAND ........New ZEALAND
..... 408 .................. 198
...... 378 ................ 398

THE L/d method had England with a target of 378 they made 365 for 9 with 4 overs left so "could" have lost the wicket or scored the runs so used the D/L target !

NOW 1 game all!

 

ENGLAND 1088 v New ZEALAND 908
..... 408 .................. 198
...... 378 ................. 398
...... 302 ................ 312 (second innings adjusted score )

NZ lead 2 games to 1

 

I'm beginning to think I may have under-estimated the runs - great to watch (if you like batting)

 

well there does seem to be an abnormal scoring rate 6 or 7 an over usual... so 350 is expected. in deed the commentators start every game with they should be looking to get over 300 and maybe 340 /350 .
Nz would likely have gotten 350 or more if they had batted out with a higher score set or batted first??? NZ need a reversal of the first game or get England for 200 odd and knock off the runs quickly in the second innings

 

not the best thought out game!
ENGLAND 1897 v New ZEALAND 1675
..... 408 .................. 198
