Damn.

Kohli celebrating as if the girl scouts just restocked his favourite thin mint cookies.

 

[tajhay]

Not sure if this will be enough

 

[Inruin]

Decent enough score considering the pitch and the quality of the bowling. First 10 overs is going to be key now

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Might be 15-20 runs short

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Any other team and I think NZ would strangle them to death. It is very tacky, Mitchell on 100 unable to hit it cleanly in the last 10 overs tells you a lot.

Familiar conditions for India though.

60/40 India

 

[tajhay]

3rd highest score was 23. #strugglestreet

 

[Inruin]

Indian like to get off to an aggressive start with their batting which should create chances for us if we bowl and field well enough

 

[Inruin]

3rd highest score was 23. #strugglestreet

A very unconvincing 23 as well

 

[JaggedJ]

86-7 off the last 15.

To quote Shakespeare "Thy finishing was shitteth"

 

[Ever Hopeful]

No swing. That is pretty disappointing after they hooped it around

 

[Inruin]

First over didn't look very threatening at all

 

[Ever Hopeful]

This looks a lot like our game vs England. Swing early, and slow pitch for England's 1st innings and then the ball just came onto the middle of the bat under lights in the dew for Conway and Ravindra.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Rohit Sharma lives on another planet. This is his World Cup I reckon. Might be a swansong

 

[JaggedJ]

Yeah, nowhere near enough runs imo. Ah well, early night it is.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Gill shows non-strikers how it is done. It shits me that a fastidious guy like Williamson still just wanders down the pitch and puts that non-striker run out to chance. Conway too.

 

[Inruin]

Boult looks a shadow of what he used to be so far this tournament

 

[Inruin]

Bit more interesting now....

 

[Inruin]

Will the fog save us?

 

[ndp26]

The Indians would be disappointed if the fog ended the game, but it would be a great story in setting up a Semi / Final!
