The International Cricket Thread

[Villan For Life]

New Zealand have bowled beautifully. I think their game plan was to try to do to us what they did to India in the semi when they were reduced to 24-4 chasing a low total. That we haven’t lost too many wickets is helping to calm my frazzled nerves, or maybe I’m clutching at straws.

Bairstow dropped.

It was Root. Should have been taken. Simple caught and bowled change for CDG

Think it was Jonny B.

Commentator: "fantastic crowd" really ? No fucking atmosphere whatsoever.

I think even the Hollies Stand would be subdued by this nail biter.

Root wicket down to pressure and frustration

[PaulWinch again]

That’s a fucking dreadful knock from Root.

[Risso]

Pathetic from Root, fucking awful.

[Steve67]

Joe Root you twat.  Frustrated with 30 odd overs to go!! Fucking brainless.

That's the sort of shit decision taking that starts a collapse.

[PaulWinch again]

That’s such a stupid thing to do. We had taken the sting out a bit and now we’re right in the mire. Such a brainless shot.

The Root dismissal could work in our favour if Morgan gets his eye in.

[PaulWinch again]

Step up Morgan please.

[ChicagoLion]

Lost the plot

[Steve67]

A Captain's innings needed. If he wants an OBE for winning the World Cup, he has to earn it.

[Brend'Watkins]

Time for Morgan to deliver.

Dire batting from Root.
