T20 World Cup

Cyclops

I guess the bug question is whether there is o virus running through the team and will it effect the batting. We should win comfortably.

Imagine how many super overs we'll need to make it to sundown from an 11am kick off in T20. If anyone can do it, the BCs can.

We will always find a way 😂

@bones @donsteppa that's absolutely enough bullshit from both of you.

They will win this one at a canter.

Chris B.

Canadian fielding pretty untidy so far.

Chris B.

Seifert finding the field a lot and then gets out!

Bones

Definitely cantering

Canes4life

Don’t lose your form now Timothy.

Are you new to this Black Caps bandwagon? 🙂

canefan

Are we going to choke this game away?

Would be a great watch

Canes4life

Tim-Finn gooone. Typical Black Caps in a leaky boat.

MN5

This would be the perfect time to send Daryl Mitchell in. Ridiculous.

Ravindra needs to sort out that horrible inside out swing he has sliced a lot lately bottom hand problem

Yeah he is one of too many guys selected for T20 based on class in the longer forms.

We dropped the guy that was getting back to his best in Conway.

Yeah his record is terrific in all three forms.

Ravindra always seems to get a long leash to regain form, it has paid off in Tests and ODIs though.

canefan

Just over a run a ball now

Torian

Phillips is class

@Grooter said in T20 World Cup:

Doesn't skip chest shoulder and arms day

definitely all those weights he's been doing.

The horse has well and truly bolted for the India expat XI Canada.

canefan

Good for Rachin to get some runs

canefan

The failure of Seifert and Allen is concerning, but that's quality from Phillips and Ravindra

Donsteppa

It does feel like we generally have the batting to do well, if only the bowling will fire consistently

Not really. That's the ebbs and flows of Cricket. They have both scored big in the tournament so far.

Minnows well and truly put to the Sword.

Super 8 spot officially locked in.

Fair to say NZ are a much better batting team than bowling team in this form of the game. Definitely could be cause for concern later on.

Cyclops

Why do cricket tournaments always have the worst possible structures? Was trying to figure out what the loss to South Africa means for our path through super 8s and the answer is nothing. No difference whatsoever. The ICC in their eternal wisdom have preseeded the super 8s, so now that we're through we'll face England, Pakistan* and Sri Lanka. If we'd beaten south Africa and topped our group we'd have had the same super 8 path regardless.

Assuming Pakistan qualify. If they somehow contrive to lose to Namibia then the USA* will take their place.

Unless the India also lose to the Netherlands, by a stonking great margin, in which case the can leapfrog both a defeated Pakistan and the USA.
