Twitter Reactions: New Zealand Revenge over England in a Rain Effected Match

Twitter Reactions: New Zealand Revenge over England in a Rain Effected Match: Beaten and bruised in the First ODI New Zealand made sure to turn the heat on the host, the batsmen started well smacking 398 for the loss of 5 wickets in the second ODI of the series at The Oval. The kiwis started of handsomely with start from all the top order batsmen. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor held the innings with Taylor going on to make a brilliant century.

England started the pursuit exceptionally before the rain intervened breaking the momentum, the revised target was to hot to handle for the Englishmen. It’s difficult to judge what would have happened without the rain.

As of now New Zealand have leveled the series and heads on to Southampton for the third match on Sunday. Following is the Twitter reactions about the match:

On their way to making history.

Three days ago, England made their highest ODI total

Into a new era.

Now a days in Modern #Cricket a massive total of 400 is not even considered safe. What an era we are entering into!!#ENGvNZ #ENGvsNZ

The Top order comes to the party.

STAT ALERT: NZ's innings only the 4th time in ODIs that a team's top 6 have all scored 30. https://t.co/ji2QuM2BQg

Ross Taylor and Leg-side, he went on to score 119*.

Ross Taylor has always loved the leg-side boundary…it was certainly the case today #engvnz pic.twitter.com/1vWHOujZhG

Expensive English Bowlers.

England the 2nd team in ODI history to have 5 bowlers concede 65+; after SA in the 2005-06 Joburg runfest v Aus. Which SA won. #inthebag

Jordan joins the list of most expensive bowlers in an ODI innings for England.

Jordan equals the England record for most runs conceded in an ODI, and he still has an over to go https://t.co/yCieoP0GEN #ENGvNZ

Aggression is the need of the hour.

You can't chase 400 without playing attacking shots. If you want to criticise anyone here have a word with the bowlers

— Peter Miller (@TheCricketGeek) June 12, 2015

England surpass their previous best score while chasing.

Eng 339/7(43.2) Their Highest ODI Total While Chasing. ..Previous Best Was 338/8 vs India #ENGvsNZ @gleonnaangel

Spectacular game of cricket.

What a brilliant game of cricket at the Oval! Haven't seen such a fearless, entertaining @ECB_cricket team in a long, long time. #ENGvsNZ

2015 the year of 350+ runs.

A total of 350+ has been recorded on 14 occasions in 2015
Next best: 9 times in 2007#EngvNZ

— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) June 12, 2015

Striking at its best.

This really been the most incredible 6 hrs of striking a cricket ball..What ever the result..!!!… #Carnage #ENGvNZ

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 12, 2015

Kane Williamson misses out on an ODI hundred.

Kane WIliamson 24y-308d missed his 17th intl 100
At this very age only Sachin Tendulkar 26 & Virat Kohli 19 have made more intl 100s#EngvNZ

— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) June 12, 2015

England on a Role.

In the WC England scored 1307 runs in 241 overs..In this series already they have scored 753 in 93 overs….!!! #LoveIt

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 12, 2015

A series for the batsmen.

By the way, 12 batsmen have scored 30+ in this match. Previous ODI record was 10. https://t.co/hL07Aghlqr #ENGvNZ

Extraordinary display of fielding.

What a moment! Boult and Southee combine with a brilliant relay catch on the long-on boundary to remove Rashid https://t.co/2fUDbm6l55

The outrage on  Duckworth Lewis:

The Duckworth and Lewis method really is so outdated. Going from needing 9 an over to nearly 17? Farce. #ENGvsNZ

— Sam Lambert (@Sam_Lambert7) June 12, 2015

So from 9 an over to just short of 17 an over @ECB_cricket @SkyCricket @BumbleCricket #ridiculous #ENGvsNZ

— James Parkin (@parkin1984) June 12, 2015

Duckworth Lewis has bent England over here.. Literally twice as many runs per over required now than before they went off.. #ENGvsNZ

— Russell Round (@Roundo_83) June 12, 2015

How can this revised target in #ENGvsNZ be fair. So one sided it's ridiculous and kills the thrill of what's been a great game.
