Ewar Woowar posted:yeah this. That shirt does nothing for me and seems way too similar to other kits. We've previously had such vibrant team colours as beige, grey and slightly darker grey. I think poo poo brown is currently available, maybe we should snaffle that up.

This crowd is absolutely deafening, it's awesome. This match isn't quite going how I expected it to. Is India better than I thought or is SA shittier?

Paul.Power posted:The impression the stats give is that they're basically good at one thing - taking wickets early on - and other than that they're really bad. So if you get a day like today when they don't take wickets early on... Interestingly Sri Lanka are also good at only one thing, and that is not losing early wickets. The stage is set for a perfectly balanced match between England's lovely death bowling and Sri Lanka's lovely death batting, what a mouthwatering contest!

Airstream Driver posted:What's the forecast for the rest of this game NZ goons? Should I keep watching expecting a result or can I switch over to the other game? Right now it looks like it's going to continue to be patchy like this for the rest of the night. I predict they'll complete the game but SA's innings will be constantly interrupted with the target readjusted all the way through. Edit: looking way better now, much brighter.

Ratios and Tendency posted:Mitch is really making GBS threads up his opportunity here. Mitch sucks, this is absolutely typical of his bowling. He'll pick up 2 or 3 meaningless wickets in the last over or two and his status as a *wicket taker!!!* will be confirmed. Anybody who rates him as a bowler has never actually watched him bowl.

He's got the ability to accelerate the scoring himself, he doesn't just have to nurdle singles. I guess now's a good time to give him a bit of a test instead of trying it out in the semifinal.

Ewar Woowar posted:Taylor should be the once that accelerates the run rate here, not Elliott. He seems to have lost a ton of confidence in the last year or so huh? Taylor is slow as hell today but in the context of the game I'm pretty happy for him to just be an immovable rock while most of the runs come from the other end. His innings has been chanceless I think, and given how scratchy he's looked in every other game that's an accomplishment.

Smorgasbord posted:After reading through a bunch of smug Indian comments writing NZ off after we conceded 288 to Bangladesh I'm really enjoying this Zimbabwean performance. Yeah this is great. I'm waiting for the contrite comments from Indian fans about how the veil has been lifted and India's bowling attack has been revealed as weak, toothless and generally associate-level. Or maybe they'll just talk endlessly about how lovely Eden Park is as a cricket ground instead.

Knuc U Kinte posted:If there's no swing, what's starc like? I feel that could be key. The problem for NZ is that in the absolute best case scenario, with the ball doing absolutely nothing in the air or off the seam, it's still travelling at 152km/h.

Knuc U Kinte posted:They face Adam Milne bowling at that speed in the nets everyday so I don't think that speed is gonna bother them too much at the top of the order I like Adam Milne and I think he could be a key part of the team in the future but he bowled maybe two yorkers in the entire World Cup. Starc seems to be able to produce full overs of them. The top order can hopefully deal with that but it's a big ask for part timers, or even specialist batsmen without their eye in.

Henry was already in the squad. I'd guess they'll bring Henry in for Southee and Wagner for Bracewell. Unfortunately I think we're stuck with Craig.

Airstream Driver posted:It's beginning to look a lot like 1-1 I'd say it's far too early to say anything of the sort, but no Starc in the second innings does change the equation a bit. Still, Smith is more than capable of putting on a few hundred runs with Nevill and the tail.

Saul Goode posted:It's a World Cup, if the results of the final match are that the teams are too evenly matched then really it should come down to whoever is highest in the ICC ODI rankings. You want to know who deserves to be called world champions for the next four years, and even as a NZ fan something about that would seem a bit wrong for a team that is regularly trounced by the big three. At that point why even bother having a World Cup? Just give a big trophy to the highest ranked team on an arbitrary date every four years.
