Cricket World Cup 2019

63 for 1 off 15

Williamson 9 off 29

Woody didn’t get the line for the swing right. If he does, Jaffa upcoming

 

[one footed wonder]

Yup. I know the scoring rate is low, but they are building a platform where they can swing their arms in the last 15 overs. Getting a couple out now will slow that down

going for the steady score and look to hope bowling and scoreboard pressure are too much for the aggressive approach from england

 

[chunksafc]

He is bowling 90mph wood but struggling to control the swing

Wouldn't be a bad idea for him to back the pace down a bit for a bit more control

 

[Boo]

Woody getting a load of movement

But it was a poor over, by its end. He needs to find more control.

If they get 280-290 it won't be easy for us. The pressure of the final isn't to be discounted. Has there ever been a successful chase that high in the final?

He was a little unlucky. Quick ball down the leg side, Williamson missed it, wide. The next ball the same, gloved for 4. He could have had a strangle there.

Need to find a better line.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Bad over from Woody, needs more control. Still early days. These two are not big shot makers.

Wouldn’t be too worried if I was them. There are other ways of making scores than hitting it big. Williamson’s shown be can score massive in his own method, and Nichols is a good player despite the over the top criticism on here. 270 in a World Cup final is a very hard chase regardless of the conditions.

 

[dixonsafc]

Think 250 is probably par here? Anything over 270 is going to be difficult to chase.

I’m going for nz to score 258

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Why are there so many empty seats?

Have people really bought tickets for a World Cup final and then not turned up?

2 of the 9 finals have been won chasing. Doable but isn’t easy

Previous two world cup finals the hosts batted second and won.

95 mph all well and good but not when you go for 8 off an 8 ball over

 

[stephen cartwright]

Plunks is not looking his full pace here

Doull reckons stokes has pulled a calf muscle

 

[Silly Point]

Oh ffs

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Plunkett is very loose.

 

[JohnKay]

Stokes

 

[stephen cartwright]

Plunks not getting it above 80 ish mph

Anything over 250 is a good score in a final.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Plunkett bowling buffet stuff. I wouldn't mind facing some of these.
