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

[NYRB]

Well played Ben Stokes 182 off 124 balls. That was a pretty special innings to witness.

 

[Moonwatcher]

RIP Stokes

 

[Moonwatcher]

It's a pity, looked on for a good innings.

 

[NYRB]

Ben Stokes 182 surpasses Jason Roys 180 at the MCG in 2018.

 

[Plugger35]

Finally Stokes gone, no 200 for him but England are still a chance of 400.

Moeen Ali gone now too, we might bowl England out.

 

[NYRB]

Amid the carnage , Boult has been the pick of the bowlers today with his 3 wickets and economy rate.

 

[NYRB]

Make that 4 wickets for Boult , with an economy rate below 6 an over. A chance for a Michelle Pfeiffer.

 

[Plugger35]

Another wicket for Boult, the NZ fightback is on.

Amid the carnage , Boult has been the pick of the bowlers today with his 3 wickets and economy rate.

Not surprising, he is still head and shoulders above the rest of our bowlers.

 

[NYRB]

I actually Lister has bowled alright amid the carnage with figures of 67/2 going into his final over.

 

[NYRB]

Can Atkinson bat?

 

[NYRB]

England should look to bat their full 50 overs and NZ have pegged this back.

 

[NYRB]

Trent Boult with a 5 wicket haul. His inclusion back in the white ball format is a huge coup.

NZ Need 369 to win the 3rd ODI.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Great bowling from Boult when everyone else was getting tonked

 

[Plugger35]

Boult with a great yorker to get a 5'fer and bowl England out for 368, still a good score but less than it looked like being with Stokes there.

 

[NYRB]

NZ All over the shop at 28/3 in pursuit of 369

 

[Plugger35]

Terrible start like England, we need a big partnership like Malan and Stokes to get back into this.

 

[NYRB]

Make that 37/4 and its a matter of how much now.

 

[Plugger35]

Woakes a class above for England like Boult was for NZ, just too good.

 

[NYRB]

The best 3 batting sides in ODI cricket by a fair margin are: India, Australia and England.

Im still skeptical of this English pace attack though against better batting lineups.

 

[NYRB]

England lead the series 2-1 , with 1 more game to go.

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

Being reigning champs helps. Their bowlers could concede 340 and you'd back their lineup to chase it too.

Yeah I mean we've said that with India for basically every world cup and they've won it once

Batting is for statistics, Bowling is to win matches

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
