[Cricket] Cricket World Cup Final: ENGLAND v New Zealand *** Official Match Thread ***

[Green Cross Code Man]

More 4 picture is good.

If you are watching in SD it is not good.

Unless you have a particularly small TV.

I am watching in normal, what ever that is , and I think the picture is fine. What score will NZ consider to be a good target to set with 4 overs to go.

Channel 4 are also streaming it online if you have a smart TV? Might be a better picture.

Be delighted with 250 I would have thought.

Thanks, I haven't tried that yet as every time I go out of the room, I miss a wicket!

New Zealand could really do with getting to 250. CDG can certainly tee off given the chance.

If you’re watching through your Skybox on 136 it will be good because it’s HD........

Stats are interesting - 250+ has only been successfully chased twice in the whole tournament.

Need 2 TV's. Want to watch the tennis at the same time

6 down, DeG's tortuous innings over.

Harry Potter strolls to the Crease...

 

[dangull]

Terrible shot from a juicy full toss

 

[vegster]

Pretty happy with this..... however, if we have an early collapso it could get hairy. A good team talk from Morgan between innings and we will get over the line.

England have conceded 30 extras! That is very poor in such a low scoring game.

 

[dangull]

Great last over. No pressure for a fast start for England' innings. Keep wickets intact and should be a quite comfortable win.

 

[Pantani]

Gonna be a cake walk this. 40-50 runs short of par for me. Unless NZ get Bairstow and Roy early.

 

[Eeyore]

I hope Boycott and Brearley get a MOVE ON this TIME.

That's torn it.

Were loose

We should still be ok, need to start positively but NOT stupidly, it will be tight in the early overs of our innings but we need to keep the scoreboard moving for the first 15-20 overs. We can up the scoring rate as their main bowlers get rotated out and push on. The nightmare scenario is Jason Roy going for it from the off and caught snicking one to the keeper first ball then Root chipping one to mid off … sensible please !

 

[hart's shirt]

Think England would have taken that score before the start.

Some sensible measured batting picking the loose balls and they should get over the line.

Let’s not change how we bat as we have made that mistake before. Let’s smash it out the ground.

That was close!
