ICC World Cup: New Zealand vs England - Hilarious tweets of the match

The 9th game of the 2015 ICC World Cup will be remembered for a massacre. England won the toss, chose to bat first, and were bundled out for 123.

If that was not humilating enough, Brendon McCullum came on to demolish whatever little spirit left in the England camp, scoring the fastest 50 in the World Cup history, bettering his own record of 20 by 2 balls.

Here's how the Twitter world reacted to the carnage!

?1. The story of all England horror shows! (Original Tweet)

2. Who’s the minnow now!?

Dear Ireland Welcome to Top 8 Team List!! Dear England Welcome to Associate Team list!! #NZvENG

McCullum batting like the kid who's mum said he'd be grounded if he's not home by dark! #NZvEng

6. New Zealand have found a new day to celebrate; England, a new reason to sit home and sulk.

Surely this reaches the threshold for the creation of a new public holiday. #CWC15 #NZvENG

7. This match may have adverse effects on youngsters.

This match should be X-rated and never shown to English children under the age of 17. #CWC15 #NZvEng

8. Even made up rules of Gully cricket may not have saved England today.

Even ek-tippa out wouldn't have saved England from such a crushing by New Zealand. #NZvENG

9. The best advice for England came from the great legend himself:

Ian Botham Advise to England: " Go to Hotel Room Lock the room and Don't Come out for two days " #NZvENG

10. With New Zealand needing 12 runs to win, the umpires decided it was in cricket’s best interest to take an innings break!

The umpires just acted like those strict parents who switch off the TV just when the favorite TV show is about to end, because dinner time.

11. And then there’ll always be Morgan, who made the switch

Eoin Morgan switched from Ireland to England. Bit like dumping your high school sweetheart for a wealthy-but-horrible middle-aged divorcée.

12. The rate at which McCullum was going....

Coach: Its a 50 over game ! McCullum: Ok ENG played 33.2 overs.. Now We have 16.4 overs. Coach: Wait ! Listen its 50 overs over per side.

14. It’s not hard to take offence at this cricket

Aamir Khan: I'm not watching #NZvsENG. Sorry. McCullum's innings is too violent.

15. Burn.

Don’t fret, England. It’s not like you invented cricket or anything.
