On a related note, said to molan earlier, if you had a drinking game where you drink when a DJ in a New Zealand based World Cup match played a Crowded House song, you'd be pissed by the innings break. They really do love them over there don't they?!

Think batting first is the right choice, can't see us chasing whatever New Zealand would set us. Scoreboard pressure is the only chance we've got.

I moreso see it as the first game tore all confidence out of our batters, this game is gonna tear all confidence out of our bowlers.
Small part of me thinks we may spring a surprise but I can't see it.

It shouldn't be a surprise, that's the depressing thing about our fall from grace and New Zealand's rise. Genuinely think we'll get torn a new one, but would love to be proved wrong. Chance for someone to stand up today, preferably Taylor again.

That was a pathetic dismissal from Ballance, what was he trying to do? This is poor from Morgan as well, half the team's heads have gone.

Yep, we got torn a new one. McCullum is a freak in every way, Taylor NEEDS to play at 3, absolutely ludicrous.

Small part of me thinks we may spring a surprise but I can't see it. Rofl well I was right on both accounts, they did spring a surprise and it was that they tore all confidence out of both bowlers and batters. Utterly woeful.

Having watched the highlights, Southee's bowling was absolutely brilliant, but some seriously soft dismissals in there. Ballance, Morgan and Broad the main culprits, but not excusing Bell, Ali and Taylor for all getting cleaned up. Poor, very poor. McCullum's innings was freakish, but it just shows our inability to build any pressure when we're not allowed to by cautious batting. Finn in particular, can get wickets but can't string together two economical overs, sometimes not even one.
McCullum hit more off 2 overs of Finn than any of our batsmen scored in the game, lmao.

Convinced the ECB have utterly ruined Finn over the past 3 years.

I still argue that taking him out of the team for the last year was a awful decision. Wasted a year of his career and set him back much more than helping him.
That was probably the worst England performance i've ever seen. Can't really say much more tbh.

Dan and my mate Tony would do a better job of playing cricket than the current England team.
