England v New Zealand ODI Series (Aug 25-Sept 15 2023)

[corbies]

Pakistan's plan is in reverse. They are a lot stronger in their bowling, and put priority on Shaheen Shah and Naseem to do the brunt of the work. This is so Babar and co and chase the runs down at their own pace. The Pakistani batsman don't make runs quickly, unlike the big three, they settle themselves and hope not to lose too many wickets up front for a quick dash to the finish

A team should try bowling well and keeping the opposition to a low score but also scoring lots of runs and quickly. I reckon that would be a good strategy.

*twice

In an ideal world.

Last nights Pak v Sri game is a good example of what I explained Pak do. Shafique 52 off 69, Babar 29 off 35. With Rizwan only kicking on after 50 to score 86 off 73, leaving Iftikar and the bowlers to try and score the runs quickly.
No Naseem or Rauf in the bowling line up either.

For a rain reduced over game, Pakistan batted quite slow in the first 20 overs of the match. I think Englands batting is the new benchmark of cricket, looking at 5 over blocks whilst looking to tick runs over.

Sri Lanka ended up winning last night but chasing around a run a ball, I know which position I would prefer in a rain reduced match.

Ravindra bowls Root, the Black Caps fighting back.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra gets Brook, we are right back in it now.

 

[Plugger35]

A ton for Malan after a 90 odd in the last game, he's in good nick.

 

[Plugger35]

Jamieson trapping Livingstone lbw, still a chance we can keep this to a manageable run chase.

We will need to bat a lot better than the last game to be a chance though.

 

[Plugger35]

England finish on 311/9, not a bad effort from our bowlers considering we lost Southee and Lister to injury and had to bowl part timers.

Hopefully we can give this target a shake.

 

[Plugger35]

Sharp run out from Buttler and Conway is on his bike.

gone, he's not the answer, we need to bring back Finn Allen or even Martin Guptill at the top of the order.

 

[Plugger35]

Mitchell bowled by Carse.

We are now relying on Latham and Nicholls, we are no show.

 

[Plugger35]

Ravindra is arriving, a maiden ODI fifty to go with his 4 wickets.

Good to see him finally living up to his potential.

 

[Santana]

their attack is going to get absolutely tonked in the WC, not sure how they are going in second favourites tbh.

If anything they should be favourites. No one else out there is that great
