The Cricket Thread

Surely NZ’s for the taking now after Pant throws it away.

Another 30 or 40 and it could be tight

Game on anyhow

139 in 53 overs, should be a walk in the park but ya never know.

India and New Zealand playing test match, in England! :thinking: Interesting game.

It’s the world test final. Taking place at the Hampshire Rose Bowl - tried to see if we could get tickets as it’s 20 mins from me, but no such luck;

The stadium looks pretty empty.

Nerve wracking!

Limited attendance

Yep this @Iftikhar

That’s sad, the weather looks glorious.

28 needed.

Congratulations to New Zealand. Brilliant stuff! It’s an incredible achievement by a nation of 5 million people, and cricket isn’t even their number one sport.
Fantastic that their two greatest batting legends saw them over the line.

A nice summary of the NZ win

was always on the card for me.

Well done NZ, Well deserved title.

As long as India hsa Kohli as a captain, They will not win any major tournament. His team selection is baffling to say the least. Bhuvi should have been picked in this match. As should Washy in place of Jadeja purely as a batsman.

Chris Woakes “rested” again. The way England have managed him in the past year has been baffling.

Good start from England, though Bairstow just missed an easy straight one. Hopefully Livingstone can get a decent score here, think he has a chance of forcing himself into contention for the starting eleven for the World Cup given where it’s being played and the decent spin option he offers. Plus they could do with getting another right hander into the batting lineup.

Jesus Christ this has been an awful batting effort from Sri Lanka.

This Sri Lanka team isn’t much to write home about.

True. Even we beat them rather handsomely recently. :bangladesh:
