CWC Semi-final 1: India v New Zealand
-
Seems like it's got harder to bat out there - either the pitch is becoming two-paced or the old ball is harder to get away.

Good stuff, get our excuses in early!
There is also a strange dew in the air, the light is fading, and the air pollution is getting exponentially works
We have no chance!

They may as well slip out the stadium quietly once India’s innings is over

Knuckle ball by Trent!

Was an Off cutter came out the side

Completely stuffed up the bowling rotations. In what universe do you have Southee closing out the innings with 4 straight overs in these conditions.
Our boys look weary.
@ACT-Crusader Lockie injured his leg and couldn't bowl his last couple.

Fuck me... I was sure they were going to put on 430... and I was feeling comfortable with going to bed.
Under 400... I've got some false hope. But... drank ALL the beer during that 1st innings.
Have a 9am meeting.
Not sure I should start on the red wine hoping for a short NZ innings... only for them to give it a red hot go... -

If I'm reading the scorecard right ... Gill carried his bat and only faced 66 balls?
Retired hurt from cramp

I'm just imagining all the coaches watching that, and pondering the possibilities... -

I didn't want to mention a particular country, or any slightly different views on "gamesmanship" vs "values-of-the-game" vs "playing-to-the-rules" vs "playing-the-ref"... as it might seem like sour grapes considering recent results in other sports...
... but yeah, you can see somebody named something like "Rassie" becoming a consultant for a cricket team, playing in hot conditions, and suggesting that maybe some players get a little "cramp-y" at strategic times.
