    surely they can just say we will give you 10 minutes to end it, rather than now we have to wait for lunch to be over for 12 more runs

    This has been truly shocking. Not so much from the performance but the total lack of intent from both our batsmen and bowlers and inability to change our game.

    As the saying goes "if you do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got".

    We have a lot of test match style batsmen who simply don't have that ability to intimidate the opposition in the short term. It's "build, build, build" with us but with the likes of McCallum, Warner, De Villiers etc etc it's "destroy, destroy, destroy".

    What we really need is to not qualify for the next stages. To lose to one or two of the lesser nations too (although we have actually become one too now). Because a couple of soft victories and scraping a quarter final win will mean we will come home as losing semi-finalists and the English Board will use that to suggest that not a lot is wrong.

    But that couldn't be further from the truth.

    "When you get a pitch like this, your object is to bat as well as you can and put the pressure on the team under lights and try and get up to 300 if you can. Everything was set up for England, they had conviction in their selection and then it happened. Well, nothing happened really. There was the tiniest bit of shape from Southee and he got them playing the wrong shots, they got out in all sorts of ways and then it was mayhem."

    LOL NZ win with 5 wides. 8 wickets and around 3/4 of their allotted overs remaining.

    I'm just wondering how many times in the history of ODIs has a side reached their target inside 12.2 overs. Can't be more than a handful and probably not chasing as many as NZ had to.

    At least I have Southee in my fantasy team... 7 wickets in a match & MOM must be at least 300 points lol

    Thought the windies were poor the other day with the application and lack of effort, this blew that out the water. Disgusting from start to finish, a clueless side.
    All of the associates have performed a lot better than out so called stars

    I was hoping to catch at least some of that! Clueless and shit. I can genuinely see us losing to an associate. Again.
