England v NZ - 3rd ODI

[Safc_Luke]

Beauty. Guptill bowled Tredwell.

 

[Steak Pie]

Our top 3 is not a ODI quality such as has been proved by this start by new zealand.

yes they score runs but too f***ing slowly every team needs a pinch hitter from the off in one day cricket these days

Not a pinch hitter as such, but a recognised batsman whose a clean striker of the ball.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Yet another wicket we made look like a minefield

That top 3 isnt going to set teh ODI world alight mind, far too defensive

Took Eng 14.2 overs to reach 50....NZ did it in 7

 

[Steak Pie]

Guptill will be please of the rest. Must be the 1st time he hasn't been on the field in these ODIs.

Said it earlier, KP when fit.

Ridiculous man, theyre far too scared to have a go in the fear of getting out.

Dont know why im surprised like, we;ve never been too good at ODI's

Aye poor choice on my part but we need a chris gayle in there
Someone to kick start the innings and set us up for a big score which then puts pressure off the likes of morgan and buttler.

2quick wickets seems to have swung it back our way

The whole bowling effort has been better. Coincidence when Dernbach and Woakes arent playing.

 

[Scotty 1978]

111-5 Mccullum gone.

 

[Wise Man Says]

Looking good.

However, I agree with Steak Pie that our batting tactics are wrong and this will cost us in the CT.

 

[BIG BAZ]

122/6. Much better this

Why isn't Luke Wright in the ODI team anymore?

Floats around playing too much 20/20. England wont pick a player who does that. (Apart from the international 20/20 team obviously)

He's ill isnt he?

Or was that ages ago?

 

[Wise Man Says]

Big wicket, 7 down.

We should win it from here.
