    All 11 batsmen got into double figures. That really doesn't happen very often but it also makes our total that much more disappointing. 
    First time ever

    Why give Woakes a third over here?

    Woakes doing what Woakes does. 
    Dangerous in England 
    Hopeless abroad

    His ODI bowling record is actually quite good in Asia.

    Well I think it's safe to say that this pitch offers very little to seamers. Here's hoping the spinners find a lot more.

    73-1 off 9 

    England 4.20
    NZ 1.30

    Wonder what odds Wood was for returning figures of 3-0-38-0

    It will be bad enough losing but a thrashing would do absolutely nothing for our NRR especially against one of the teams that we might well be competing against for a top four spot

    That doesn't apply to white ball cricket. He's usually superb overseas too.

    Win the next 10 games and we win the world cup.

    It is time for the English media to once again cast doubt upon the viability of the entire format

    Positive thought. The reality is that we probably need to win 7 of the next 9 to qualify now 
  • According to Cricinfo, Ravindra has just broken the record for the fastest century for NZ in a World Cup. The previous record was set by ... Conway a few overs ago.

    The ECB did that when they designated the format available to county 2nd XIs only

    282-9 off 50. Probably 40 plus light but we won't truly know 'til NZ get to bat on this surface but there doesn't appear to be too many demons. That said, very little between them in the market:

    England 2.02
    NZ 1.96
    I meant to say "140"

    Shocking really. Hopefully the required look in the mirror will come as a result of this - not good enough.

    NZ win by 9 wickets with 13.4 overs to spare. Our batting was poor in terms of shot selection, our bowling all over the place in execution and even our normal outstanding fielding was somewhat average. Apart from that we were better than NZ in every single department.

    Unbeaten partnership of 273 sees them to the target. Rough. Need to see a response in the next game.
  • Another fun stat from Cricinfo - a team that made 11 double-digit scores has just lost to a team that didn't make any at all (two centuries and a duck).

    The Hundred ensures countries play their 2nd eleven in the 50 over competition.

    The 100 needs ditching! I've never watched a game, it's all too...American! 
    Just a perceived money spinner for the ECB does fuck all for cricket or enhancing performance....pile of shite!
  • The England NZ series in September followed a similar pattern of one sided games between the teams, after years of close battles

    Pakistan struggling. Against the spin of the Netherlands! Both Fakhar and more to the point Babar gone

    34-2 off 8.3

    Pakistan appear to lose more wickets in clusters than any other team. Currently 188-6 off 32 and those 6 wickets have fallen for 47 runs over two periods of batting.

    Just the 8 bowlers used by Holland so far.
