To be fair to Engand their bowlers have averaged under 30 this world cup and Australia's bad game against india actually puts us behind them. We need our 3rd and 4th bowlers to really lift
New Zealand going along beautifully with 30 wickets at 18, albeit against easy opponents

It was a thriller. The cup hasn't had a lot apart from the 1 game NZ won against Bangladesh and the 2 England have lost
any others?

India have a modest total against Afghanistan at Southampton - only 208 or something like that.
The Indian new ball attack of Sami and Bumprah looks potent though.

india defend their total with a diet of yorkers at the death
I'm surprised there weren't more scoop shots
1 or 2 of them and the bowler changes their plan and its much more in the favour of the bastmen

Bowling would be tough to pick with Starc, Dorff, Cummins, Bumrah, Locki, Joffra and Bolt all being options
For batsmen the openers are finch and warner
middle order are hasan and root
For the three all rounders stokes is daylight ahead of the next but the next two are tricky. Probably go maxwell and Carey/Butler

337 is getable on this pitch and against arguably the 9th weakest bowling attack at the cup. It could be tight!
India will want this because it might be harder to beat England in the semis!

2 wickets in the first 10 could kill them, but it does make it more likely they can defend a total like this

+x+xlovely shot for 2 India struggling for quick singles. Its a real weakness in their game Not only worth another 5 or so runs in the first 10, it makes wickets less likely and loose balls more frequent! It is good seeing batters taking quick, well judged singles with good understanding with their partners. Its one thing Langer has really fixed and we've been a sporting chance even on difficult wickets in tests despite a weak batting side

I never want to see either as VC or Captain again though. We’ve improved our ODI batting.

When I’m watching Jofra Archer rattle batters with his pace, he wasn’t as fast as Tasmanian Riley Meredith when they played last season for the Hobart Hurricanes.
Archer often bowls in the high 140s, but Meredith goes over 150kph.
Archer probably bowls straighter, but I think Meredith bowled faster last season in the Shield than anyone in this WC.
Wood has bowled balls at 154 kph, but doesn’t even average 140kph.
Meredith was recorded at 154 kph in BBL.
I wonder whether Meredith could’ve been a better option than NCN or Richardson?

Another oldball specialist who might be even better than cummins!

I must admit I was beastly careless about LOC before this WC, but I’ve loved this event!
I really enjoy all international teams in the one place at the same time.

2 things have put England ahead at this stage of the game
1. Poor fielding cost them about 20
2. A conservative first 10 overs had them 1/27 after 10 maybe 15 behind where they needed

Against Sri lanka, I thought Shannon Gabriel looked a little out of rhythm.
He did send a few down at 150 kph though.

At this stage, 34 overs, it almost looks impossible.

+xI don’t like a lot of the front foot hooking and pulling from Pant. Much prefer these shots off the back foot. I was a front foot puller I always thought it was a safer shot than the cut shot against the short wide deliveries. I would front foot pull through the covers or mid off/on rather and try and drag it onto the legside (which increases the risk in the shot!)

bangladesh have taken the game deepish and kept the run rate under control here. They have a slim chance

probably a touch too many for the kiwis but we will see
they havent looked like scoring 300 all tournament
The toss today might have been huge if speculation about the pitch slowing up is correct. It could be worth 50 or so runs
If its a new ball pitch the kiwis should go a little harder at first

If Williamson plays a big innings they might exceed 300.

England like their back of a length bowling
would be a disaster against a player like ponting who loves pulling from that length

win predictor at 1 in four for nz. Surprisingly quite high
they have gotten out so far through sheer stupidity and there isn't much in the pitch
not sure if win predictor takes that into account

if your main goal is not to get out, back of a length bowling is good for both sides because the runs and wickets are stopped (except today with NZ not reviewing a howler and knicking down leg side)
I think you should be positive. Its easy to hit back of a length over the infield if you are willing

Unless England get to the final now apparently The epic 2005 Ashes was shown blanket coverage on ch4 and the whole series did wonders for the game. After that they promptly put intl cricket behind a paywall. Now it’s become a niche, uncool sport. Clever that.

Headingley is the ground, which is Yorkshire’s home ground.
I think it is in Leeds.
I’ve viewed cricket at this ground before, but it doesn’t seem familiar.

Yes, me too - watched Tests/ODIs in the 80s there, the ground is completely revamped now aye, the miserable Yorkies only agreed to get out their brass when they realised they’d never be allowed to stage international creekit again otherwise.

Didn’t realise they had a decent domestic comp to produce players as good as they have at this World Cup.

Good pull from Rahmat!
Are these guys guys playing Test Cricket now, along with Ireland.
Shots like this pull, and his current off drive indicates these blokes are good enough for the long form.

The Kiwi 239 looks like a big total ATM.

India seemed to be consolidating until Pant has just been caught in the deep off Santner.
5- 71 off 23.

Not sure if Dhoni is the batsman he was.
He has plenty of experience in big games his teammates might not have in such a high pressure match in the World Cup.

May not be what he once was but hes still supremely talented and I would be wanting him out soon if I was NZ. Hes got too much experience and talent to know how to construct the case.

Jadeja can bat after hitting that 6, but if one of these two loses their wicket it will be very tough going for India.
