Whichever idiot said there was an improved forecast for Cardiff today, I will find you, and I will kill you. #ct13 #engvnz

If this game gets rained out I reckon they should rule England out of the finals purely for bad weather. #EngvNZ #ct13

Who's clever idea was it to play a cricket tournament in that notoriously arid wilderness of Wales anyway? #ct13 #engvnz

Maybe not a book but Nathan McCullum sure owes us a pamphlet or a tweet on how he got his catching mojo back #engvsnz #ct13

England all out 169. Bresnan's futile belly flop was the most sophisticated part of the death batting. #engvnz #ct13

NZ require 170. However by the rules of TwentyFour24 cricket, both sides can still win if they go Jack Bauer and stop a terrorist attack.

Luke Ronchi, I feel your pain. Every innings I've ever played looked much like that. #engvnz #ct13

NZ's plan B: fall down and don't get up #ct13

Corey Anderson down with cramp, England need to bowl 5 balls to constitute a match! If they go off now Twitter will explode. #EngvNZ #CT13

Quality running considering Corey Anderson has a chest buster from the Alien films bursting through his calf. #EngvNZ

Before talking abt DRS, ICC shud think abt investing some money to make a proper white line for a crease #CT13"
