**Official** Super 8 Group 1 Discussion - Eng, WI, SL and NZ

Bowl first... If this backfires it will be the biggest comedy of tactical errors ever made in a tournament. Might have had something to do with Dan being out

 

[Meridio]

Vettori injured, replaced by Hira, while Bracewell retained with Oram returning for Williamson Just absurd but hey, we'll have 8 bowling options

Oram clearly playing as a specialist batsman, cuz u no, he's left handed and stuf.

Should be back in his rightful number 5 spot after Franklin was so rubbish last match

With this batting line up I would go back to Athlai's plan of retiring the innings once 4 down.

 

[straw man]

Top start - first ball no ball. Of course I'd like us to win, but to be completely woeful and lose by 100 would in some ways be more fitting.

Doug
EH

 

[Daemon]

worst.

 

[straw man]

People have had selective blindness around Mills' action for many years. May not exceed 15 degrees but it's by no means pretty and never has been.

 

[Daemon]

Russell is on and my stream just died. FML.

 

[straw man]

Gayle in complete control here

 

[SteveNZ]

I don't get it...I know Bracewell got Johnson but Gayle is the key. Southee got him two times early in the ODI series for low scores...where's the Bracewell logic after one over at this tournament?

 

[Bahnz]

Gayle has always enjoyed Mills' bowling. Wicket.

Element of surprise of course.

"NO ONE expects a daylight charge through the minefield"

 

[SteveNZ]

Haha, that can be the only logic. Even though Doug's got two, wanted to see Southee with a new seed - not one hit to the boundary eight times and bowling to Gayle on 20 not zero

 

[Meridio]

Well, I sure am glad Oram's back in the side.

 

[Prince EWS]

There is no way Oram should have to bowl with so many bowlers in the side. At least not before they each got slaughtered first. Dire.

 

[Athlai]

Oram is in the side as a bowler today. Hira and Bracewell are batting cover.

 

[SteveNZ]

I've thought of a good tactic - go to bed. Partly because the only game I didn't watch in this tournament we won, and also because we're going to leak 200 plus here

 

[Scaly piscine]

NZ doing their best to knock England out, by letting West Indies score 200+

 

[straw man]

Woot Southee!!!

 

[Athlai]

TIM YOU GUN! z
