You know it's a good dismissal when the bowling team laughs the batsman off the field.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

Splitting the points from an otherwise certain win could have final position repercussions, too.

That's why NZ bowled first against Scotland then were reckless in the chase, NRR could be crucial so you can't squander a chance to bump it up and risk a rained out game v an associate nation booking you a QF v South Africa.

Big game this one. As a neutral it's win/win for me.

Either England lose again hilariously or NZ throws away its World Cup hopes.

Yeah if NZ lose this they'd need to beat both Bangladesh and Afghanistan to get through so it's definitely a must win

If NZ can't beat current trash tier England they have no chance in the important games against real teams.

if boult and southee start like they did against scotland england will struggle - they won't be 12/4 but they'd probably lose a couple

English fans are legitimately more happy when their team is horrible like now.

You can't troll people who are immune to disappointment.

It's much, much easier to troll Australians, and lately, Kiwis.
