2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 1 England v New Zealand 5/10 1900hrs @ Narendra Modi Stadium

[hawkman]

After starting with 2 maidens, Curran's next 4 overs have gone for 47

 

[Plugger35]

A 150 from Conway, he's a run making machine.

Is it possible England lose to both India and Pakistan. Would put them in a bit of danger. Those games are later in the series.

I'm just living in the moment and enjoying watching this arrogant cricket team get humbled

 

[Danw0w]

Ravindra was born in NZ, he's a legit Kiwi unlike Labuschagne who was born in South Africa like Conway.

Luke Ronchi was born in NZ too and he didn't really help us that much as a player, he's doing a good job as a coach though.

Labuschagne is as Aussie as any other Aussie

Conway equal 4th fastest to 1000 ODI runs by innings

 

[Moonwatcher]

England can restore their NRR agains Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the next two matches. Those two teams can be tricky but England are the best in the world so they just need to get it done.

What a performance by New Zealand.

 

[toml]

Worth staying up late for and calling in sick for work tomorrow. What a chase

 

[Plugger35]

What a win for the Black Caps.

We just demolished England without Williamson, Southee and Ferguson all out injured, they may as well just hand us the World Cup now.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Worth staying up late for and calling in sick for work tomorrow. What a chase

Good lads finished quickly so we can sleep

 

[SSwans2011]

A 273-run partnership from 35 overs is insanity. Suck s**t Poms.

 

[scottywiper]

Nothing better than watching that smug campaigner Ben Stokes looking miserable

He wouldn't want to win a game that way

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra is in good touch, he is arriving.

Ravindra winning the player of the match.

I told you he was arriving and he arrived tonight.

Conway great again but you just expect that from him.

 

[Bradesmaen]

This is what happens when you carry woeful cricketers like Harry Brook into a team. The guy just slogs from ball one with no foot work. Has a List A average of just 27.

 

[Plugger35]

England maybe a bit arrogant, they struggled to beat Bangladesh in their warm up game while we had good wins against Pakistan and SA.

Most people picked them to beat us but we went in with better recent form, I still wouldn't write off England though, a long way to go yet.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Its not fair that New Zealand get imports playing/working for them.

Luke Ronchi, Ravindra, Conway..........it makes them instantly a better side.

check your facts bro

Ravindra was born in Wellington which is like you know the capital city of NZ
Ronchi also born in NZ

Conway emigrated to NZ like thousands of other South Africans and did a 3 year stand down..hardly instant

 

[Jamurp]

England got tonked!

 

[philreich]

After England's extraordinary win in the moral Ashes, this result threatens to derail their chances in the moral World Cup .

They didn't win the previous World cup via cricket means either

yep still salty.

 

[Smoooothy]

must admit, i thought the kiwis would win after they restricted the poms to 280ish. but wow, what a chase!

 

[Smoooothy]

After England's extraordinary win in the moral Ashes, this result threatens to derail their chances in the moral World Cup .

i mean, the poms all reached double figures. that feels like a win to me #moralworldcup

 

[philreich]

Has someone checked on Piers Morgan lately?

 

[corbies]

That was the largest crowd for the first game of an ODI World Cup.

 

[Jatz]

That was the largest crowd for the first game of an ODI World Cup.

If you believe the figures...

 

[akkaps]

Ravindra at #3 was a surprize for me, and it looks like it paid off. Glenn Phillips bowled well, for a keeper that doesn't want to keep.
Think the onus should be on the English bowlers for not taking enough wickets here.
