What is it?!England could get 350+ but could also be skittled for 220. They need to get it right here.
*Edit - nvm, just seen the average ODI score on this pitch!
According to Cricbuzz, average first innings ODI score is 235 here. Obviously will be higher now given the modern game, but close to 300 will be a good score here you feel.What is it?!
275 plus is above par I hope/reckon.According to Cricbuzz, average first innings ODI score is 235 here. Obviously will be higher now given the modern game, but close to 300 will be a good score here you feel.
Score is tickign over nicely for England. Just can't throw away this partnership - they need another 10 overs or so together.275 plus is above par I hope/reckon.
Latter overs? It's only the 38th!England again struggling in the latter overs. Becoming a bit of a theme.
Last 10 or so then. They've not been closing out innings to the same level they were a year ago or so.Latter overs? It's only the 38th!
How many ODI games with our top side out have we played in the last year? About 3? If any?Last 10 or so then. They've not been closing out innings to the same level they were a year ago or so.
I think that saying became out of date about 5 years ago.Might get bowled out here. Never acceptable not batting your overs.
I still think you add so much in the last 5 overs, if you get there with wickets in hand.I think that saying became out of date about 5 years ago.
However today we certainly need to bat them out.
You certainly can - i'm not convinced 270 is a bad score here.I still think you add so much in the last 5 overs, if you get there with wickets in hand.
You never know how good a pitch is until 2 teams have batted on it. There's still hope the pitch wont favour NZ.You certainly can - i'm not convinced 270 is a bad score here.
Were 200-5 off 35 overs today mate. We would never have dreramed of that then.Been like watching England in the World cup pre 2015.
I think it'll be the same as last world cup. Par score won't be as high as you think as teams will falter under scoreboard pressure.My worry for England was that they are very rusty and they have played like that. Someone needed to bat a bit more sensibly and get to a par score atleast . That shot by Woakes who is much better against fast bowling was so so dumb
While that is obviously a concern but considering the team composition for both England & New Zealand I just see it as a very difficult task for England to defend 270 hereMy main worry here would be if the dew coming in brings the ball onto the bat. Could be alot easier to time the ball.
Yeah I'm not saying it's a big drama , the two tournaments we recently won we struggled through the group stage anyway. I don't think this total is quite big enough to defend but there's plenty of time to recover in the rest of the World Cup if we do lose.Were 200-5 off 35 overs today mate. We would never have dreramed of that then.
Just wickets got us today, it happens. No dramas
