Cricket: International Discussion Thread

Ajaz Patel to Root, out Caught by Tom Blundell!! That should be the game. What's going on in Root's mind right now? Why did I play that shot? We should have picked a spinner? What's the score? Doesn't matter what he thinks because the end is nigh. This has been the most unRoot kinda innings and the fact that he took nearly 50 deliveries to find his first boundary reveals a lot. Lovely loop from Ajaz Patel Root c Tom Blundell b Ajaz Patel 11(61) [4s-1]

oh dear

1st ball ... England all out 122

NZ need 38 to win

"All it took is one ball". Well said.

Well done NZ. Comprehensive and deserved win.

Yeah good win. Going to be an interesting game starting on Friday between India and NZ for the finals.

Well done Nz. Only their third series win in England

Who's calling the WTC final?

I call India win on the second session of day 5.

Going with NZ. India normally perform below part first test(and there's only one)and they haven't had the same practice as NZ. NZ should be more confident and fired up to win a ICC trophy.

Also with the match being played at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, NZ should be more used to current English conditions than India.

I see there is a reserve day in the event a day is rained out which is certainly unique. Also, what if the match is a draw? Does the title then go to whoever finished higher on the table?

Should go to the team with the higher over rate when bowling

Title is shared is the regulation

I fancy NZ to win. 2 tests of prep before the final is a big advantage imho.

Apparently it is hosing down at the Rose Bowl. Thank goodness for that reserve day as it looks like they will be needing it.

England is ruining a test match in which they’re not even participating.
