Sorry guys.
I put 3 bets on this morning. For Bairstow, Roy and Root all to score 50+
My betting proves the usual kiss of death. Sorry! 🙁
Indeedy.
NZ are on top now imo.
Hopefully Stokes can smash it about a bit and take some pressure off.
I got NZ at 4-1 a bit earlier.
I don't think I'd get that now.
That's an amazing effort.....if you don't catch it you promptly head off to the dentist!!
Right, Butler and Stokes to smash it
Do we start drinking now?
I don't know......what mixers go with valium?
who cares ? quick cut to another bimbo selfie.
Right then stickballists - I have this as not looking good for the English. But Butler and Stokes would supposedly love a run chase like this. What needs to happen for this to go England’s way? (Apart from the obvious - or is it just the obvious?)
Nz will have to start bowling badly.
you have to say the sky commentary team would suck the joy from a trillion dollar lottery win.
the england team have been boundary obsessed, NZ were far more prepared to nudge and nurdle the 1s and 2s.
This is all my fault. I hoped for a close match to make it interesting as everyone was predicting a England walkover. No doubt I've sent more people to an early grave than Harold Shipman did.
the worm
50 partnership, nice one lads, keep it steady
Bloody eck I’m staying quiet
This is going to the wire......
I don't know if I am enjoying this or hating it
Plane is leaving. How long can I listen before out of range 🙁
worm update
This is sub optimal
I'm listening to the cricket and watching the tennis.
I don't recommend this.
are england going to rue those 30 extras ?
I'm loving and hating this. Sometimes in the same ball.
At what point does pressure swing onto NZ; at this stage they are just doing their thing but if one of these two can change gear then they can easily take 15 or more off an over.
Remember Stokes going for all them sixes in the 20:20 world final......
Could we be in a 20 needed from the last over with him to do it?
Arsebiscuits
I mean, fair play. People, me included, have been complaining this game has been too skewed in favour of batsmen with big bats just mishitting sixes.
NZ have defended 240 in the semis and now the final, against the two batting powerhouses of the tournament with guile, slower balls, cross seamers and a dibbly-dobbly 75mph bloke going at 3 an over.
[edit] and some great fielding
Can’t bear this
aaaarrrgggghhhhh
the replay would have shown it but Guptil called it immediately, fair play
Holy cow.
Dear God. I can't watch
does he play a leave to even it up
Argghhh
Wtf happens now?
Super over!!
Super over - each side bats for one over, most runs wins it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Over
Tense!
Don’t you realise I’m trying to watch the tennis as well!
Tennisschmennis!
😊
This is awesome stuff!!
This isn’t tense at all, is it?
This is insane.
Stokes needs to sort his calling out though....... he's done two blokes in two balls neither of who faced a ball! That'd be a jug at my old club!
