New Zealand cricket was summed up in Rashids last over when Mitchell bumped into him and didn't run. If that had been the Aussies they would have pushed him over then kicked him in the bollocks then ran. Hopefully Williamson can pick up the trophy now as he's one of crickets good guys
Yeh but the game had gone before that last over and the fella was super relaxed knowing they were going to win. Jordan bowled a shocker over. It was like he got the 'yips'. Feel sorry for Woakes. He bowled superbly in the power playAnd Woakes too, he went for 20 in that last over. Game was there to be won but we folded under the pressure.
its why i don't care for 20/20 cricket ? no skill just power hitting and luck. the worst team can beat the best team on any given day the form book does not apply
NOW ITS TIME
the ashes are coming and bedtime listening on them cold winter nights
Spot on. Great bunch of guys. They usually are from New Zealand. No way would any other team in the comp have turned that single down, including us. The way they took all the controversy in the 50 over final on the chin was outstandingNew Zealand cricket was summed up in Rashids last over when Mitchell bumped into him and didn't run.

No skill LOL. Have you ever played it? I was a average/goodish 4 day player but put me in a 20/20 game and I was utterly useless with the bat. When you are in the middle of it you can only just look in awe. Yes you are right it is more about power, but the skill levels e.g. ramping 90mph balls for 6, are amazing.its why i don't care for 20/20 cricket ? no skill just power hitting and luck. the worst team can beat the best team on any given day the form book does not apply

p.s. I would bet on any excitement staying up during the ashes. We're going to get murdered. Used to love lying in bed with the radio under the pillow when I was a lad :)
The Kiwis display sportsmanship at its very best, and their acceptance of defeat back in the 2019 World Cup means I don't begrudge them a deserved victory today. As long as they beat the Aussies (if they make the final).Spot on. Great bunch of guys. They usually are from New Zealand.

I’m not going to reference Ancoats here but it would be interesting how many of us have played at a decent level.No skill LOL. Have you ever played it?
