Yes it really spans over two months - fewer teams involved now but more matches.

England are being built up as favourites, have won many ODI matches recently thus it will surely end in ignominy.

Mac76
14-07-2019, 09:18 AM
Kiwis choosing to bat first, seems to think the pitch is good, but with clouds England can get the ball to move and isn't it better to go second know the total you're chasing?

McNamara That Ghost...
14-07-2019, 09:21 AM
NZ won the toss and will bat first.

Might not be a bad toss to lose as you infer.

McNamara That Ghost...
14-07-2019, 09:29 AM
Maccy how are you going to keep up with cricket, tennis, F1 and of course netball? Four TVs? :lol:

I may have to sacrifice the netball.

The cricket is on most of the day so I'll probably just keep tabs on that from 2pm onwards. F1 on tablet, Tennis on TV.

According to my nephew it’s something to do with us getting more boundaries

Correct.

This has to be one of the most enjoyable days of non-football sport I've had in a long time. Couldn't keep my eyes off this and the Tennis.

Blimey seems a bit arbitrary, especially as England lost more wickets than NZ, it could just as easily have been done that way...

Amazing game, full of drama and tension, do think the rules of cricket are a bit ridiculous at times though, to give a team a win based on boundaries seems unfair, they should have done some sort of sudden death bowling instead.
