Let us review the standings after that game


As an NZ cricket fan who kinda stopped paying attention a while ago but started following it again for the world cup... what the gently caress I feel like I've woken up in some kind of bizarro world what is even happening. Is this how it's felt to be an Austrlaian cricket fan for the last 20 years?

Not sure how I'd feel about cricket commentary that just talked crap the entire time and gave score updates, to be honest.

Isn't that what the Australian commentary team do?

Is it still White Anglo Saxon Protestant in this context (whatever the context here is)?

Even the English were confused.

I know how they felt, I'm still confused and somewhat conflicted about New Zealand being good.

Has Boult bowled a single ball to Gayle yet? So far Gayle's been smashing Southee and Vettori all over while Boult's been tearing through his partners at the other end. I wanna see the two face off.

Boult and Starc should just settle this man to man, cancel the actual game and just have them bowl at each other until one man is left standing.

I'm not sure which is worse, McCullum going for 0 in the first over, or the boner medication advert my stream gave me afterwards.

No bat on that, the front on view showed it hit the pad first clearly. Interested to see if that was hitting the stumps.

Yeah it looked to me like his bat was behind his leg when the ball hit him.

Yeah I don't blame Guptil and Williamson for scoring slowly at all right now, I'm just glad they've kept their wickets so far, the Aussie bowling has been insanely good.
