LFC Cricket Bashing Thread

that's the kind of arrogance that i was talking about that can lead to complacency.

wouldn't be this cocky if we was playing india or australia.

yes we have the players that's why we are number 1, but when we played sri lanka for example we was ****e.

 

India are.more
than one batsman and Australia are just about too.

take Williamson out for 10 or 20 and the game is there.

Williamson gets a 100 and it's a big chance for them.

it's not arrogance it's reality.

his wicket is the key to the game.

 

btw we could have walked home v Sri Lanka but they all threw their bat at ball and threw it away. cpuld be Waite don ball and just taken singles and won that game

 

oh yeah silly me, how many times have we been world champions?

 

That's irrelevant tomorrow as it is in any final.

It's the relative abilities and form on the day.

We have a few more options and chances to deliver than nz.

Nz need a big innings from Williamson. If that doesn't happen that leaves z hole in their score that's not likely to be filled.

England have 2 openers who could get 100, then root who can dig in or score fast and then after that huge hitters

Nz have one guy yo look to big time who could destroy England batting.

England have 2bor 3 who could a little nz.

As I said everything has to go right for nz. England have more chances to recover from a blow.

 

Pakistan

 

NZ win toss and bat

 

you could sense the entire crowd in anticipation as Williamson had to dig in there for a couple overs.

This is absolutely key here.

first 10 overs are just about seeing England shading it.

 

its very tight now.

 

huge.... huge... williamson gone for 30.

4.54 an over so far but it was going towards nd having wickets in hand for big finish.

now the big man is out.

England have bowled a lot of the most disciplined men already with 22 overs down.

how's the time to turn the screw

 

Williamson gone. Caught behind

Umpires didn't hear it, but they heard Roy's none existent touch the other day

 

England use the review well.

All they need do now is have whoever is batting with Barstow to call the review not him and England will do well

 

huge edge. umpire the only.man who didn't hear it.

 

that's 25 gone.

109/2

seems to me that it'll take a big big effort for nz to get 300 from here.

we are looking 250-270 here.

really depends on Rashid imo. England look to pace today... Rashid will be most expensive man.

 

122/3

28.3 overs gone.

4.26 run rate.

England's bowling is extremely disciplined and nz are surviving on singles.

 

30overs gone.

126/3

nz now need everything to go their way. they need every ball to go to middle of bat.

 

England happy to bowl Rashid and stokes out here at 4 an over.

England really just waiting for nz to decide they have to swing the bat.

wood, woakes, archer and plunkett are saved for the final 10

 

Taylor's gone.....

 

Now 4 dow though wonder if Taylor is going to regret that Guptill wasted the NZ appeal

 

and i was right missing the stumps
