Dochart: Now the spinner for the 20th over. We could have West Indies out for under a 100 and now they could get 140-150. This is going to be a tough chase for NZ and even if we win NRR may still be lower than West Indies if they win against Afghanistan

 

we had them 30/5. they finish 149/9. Wth.....

hats off to Rutherford 68/39 on a very difficult wicket. near half the score.

 

NZ does not have the depth WI does. So if they have a chance on this wicket it has to be done in the top 4.

If we don’t make it to the Super 8’s we need to take the coaches and selectors to the cleaners.

It’s time for the Blackcaps to hire some foreign coaches like Langer and Ponting.

Yea, top 4 need to score big runs or the game is done for us. I think if opening batters fail this game then the next game I reckon they will move Rachin to opening.

I did suggest this :-).

 

Finn wont handle this pitch going on how he doesnt use technique, one will go through bat and pad to the castle.

Finn looking at the ball all the way to the bat, whod have thunk. Happy with that. Dont need to smash Hosein..

 

Edit: Finn is watching the ball off the surface, incredible for the flat track bully.

NZ need to just plod these two bowlers off and then hammer time. WI dont have as many quality bowlers. but this pitch can make an avg bowler look world class, so watch it off the surface.

All they need is 1’s, 2’s and 3’s from this partnership to win the game. No need for 4’s or 6’s or they risk a batting collapse this early. If they can get 7-8 runs per over with wickets still hand they have a chance to hit 4’s and 6’s near the end.

yep, im surprised at Finns maturity so far.

 

if its there to be slapped for four along the carpet, so be it, but no need to go aerial here. 7.8rpo needed.

Legit think I could do a better job than Conway the last two years, and I'm thirty nine bloody years old. How is this dude still getting selected?

Ahh great Allen was doing so well then tries to hit a 6 and out now. There was no need to play that shot. Best to hit along the carpet for 4 then aerial for a 4 or 6 this early.

Not with the man out there for that delivery. Pace beat him for timing.

But if the top 6 can all make 26 like finn, we will win.

NZ now looking gone. How quickly we go from a good start aside from Conway to looking like we have no chance.
