Gets underway in just over an hour...
England's third game at the same ground, New Zealand's 5th game at a different venue. You'd hope that's some kind of advantage.
Hope Morgan wins the toss and puts NZ in to bat, as seen previously I don't expect any spinner to be able to do much on this deck...
COME ON ENGLAND!
New Zealand are overwhelming favourites here.Quote:

That said its a remarkable turn around for England to get this far bearing in mind how useless they were in limited overs 18 months ago.
The Kiwis are a quality outfit and their recent record is hugely impressive. When you go into a game knowing that Chris Jordan is the oppos death bowler you have to fancy your chances. The only saving grace is that it's no longer Jade Dernbach.
Personally I think it's vital that Morgan wins the toss. If he does I'm sure he will but the Kiwi's in.
The problem we got if we bat first is we can't set a total.
Come onnnnn England.
Yes, won the toss.
Now I feel as if it's even stevens.
give over, 50/50Quote:

All things being equal and subject to the spin attack not being taken apart the winning total is going to be around the mid 170's I guess.
Well they are looking short at the moment, good stuff
Was looking shaky there for a bit I thought but the last couple of overs or so nz seem to have dropped back a bit. I thought NZ would get this but seems more open nowQuote:

Great effort, must be favourites now with the firepower in the batting
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.Quote:

New Zealand are more than capable of still grabbing a win as it is a total just under the par score for Delhi.
However, more than happy to be proved wrong in my initial assessment.
Excellent bowling at the death. It's ours to lose from here.
All we need to do is bat sensibly and keep wickets in hand.
What would score predictor say at this moment in time? I'd say 70% England.
great start
ROY
Would be a major **** up to lose it from here, very impressive performance
I'd start eating that hat if I were you :hehe:Quote:

So do we all want India in the final?
During the game I reckon the "neutral" fans changed sides as the game ebbed and flowed. I swear I saw some of them waving both the English and New Zealand flags at various stages
If we want to win the game, yeah.Quote:

If India keep this over tight, the last one could be very interesting...
