[doogie004]

Billings looking good

And out 34

 

[doogie004]

Rashid out as well 290/7

 

[Mackenzie]

Does anyone know how long the interval is between innings? Gotta take the dog out but don't want to miss anything.

It's usually a 45 minute break for 50 over games.

 

[pasty]

302 all out 45.2 overs

Think we are going to need to bowl them out to win this one.

No sh*t Sherlock

First time I've seen david willey, he looks decent.

Picking up that early wicket will be a massive boost.

50 short at least and criminal not to bat out all your overs, this team has still got lots to learn.

Well you can't have it all. If you bat like mad to try and get 400, then you risk losing wickets and falling short. You can't have it both ways.

 

[pasty]

Good start

36/2

Guptill and McCullum gone

Stokes should have tried to bat through rather than carrying on the same way.

Good start for us though.

Yep, fair point. We gambled and lost.

 

[jakarta]

Kiwis now getting stuck in to Rashid, this is not going to last 50 overs one way or the other.

 

[BensGrandad]

England letting them score runs quickly so they can all watch the 2nd half of the football.

You could say the same thing about Australia which has a population of about 20 million.

I think England are normally better at cricket, just not recently.

Major sports in NZ.

They're major sports here.

When I was at school people played either football or rugby in the winter but in the summer every school child did athletics and played cricket.

That is true BG but we have rarely dominated in any of those until we got serious with funding for athletics and have done well there. The other 3............ Up and down and certainly nothing compared to New Zealand's quality in Rugby Union over the years although they have underachieved in World cups.
