*Official* Match 8 - Australia v New Zealand

[wellAlbidarned]

Even our fielding's going to **** now. Now we've got nothing.

Spirit of cricket award

Lol Kenya must feel like **** having lost their wickets to this guy

He bowled very well that day. Would have taken a wicket or two today if he'd been on his game. He's just having a shocker today, which he does from time to time.

I still think he'll come good, as long as he stays healthy.

 

[Turbinator]

Can someone just take 2 wickets damnit, I need these points

 

[slip]

No need to worry any more tbh. They're fine.

It's the blokes, or rather bloke, after them that's the concern.

What about Tait, how many extra's, but he took 3 wickets! His bowling concerns me.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Commentator's current convo is hilarious

"...they picked How over Oram because they wanted extra batting power..."

Dunno what kind of logic they're following.

That's what I thought too. The little I did see of him that day, he looked very different than he does today.

haha I love how fantasy/predictions influence the way I watch a game

 

[Flem274*]

meh

Keep playing like this and I'll solely follow domestic stuff.

Watson really does hit them scary hard when he gets his eye in.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

K then, just treat our best bowler like a ****ing part timer. That's cool with us.

Oh, I thought we were only talking about the batting.

So long as he takes wickets he can give away 7 or 8 wides. The issue is... he doesn't always take wickets.

Anyway, 50 for Watson. New Zealand coming 3rd in this one

Lucky i only picked one New Zealander in my fantasy team.

 

[TumTum]

This is the best i've seen Australia play since the Champions Trophy, positive signs.

Watson is a legend, tore the Poms apart in the 7 game series this summer and is doing his job in the World Cup.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Praying for Watson's trademark 50-and-out.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not when everyone else picked zero.

To be fair I think yours hit a 50.

You know we have lost the last 18 of 20 games or something right? I wouldn't read to much our of this. I still have Australia as winning the cup though.

Wahay, dot ball! Well-directed and quick bouncer, too.

Hey, we've got nothing else to celebrate.

Bennett's never going to be very consistant, not at this stage of his career anyway. But you'd have to put today's performance (well I am anyway) down to trying too much. This is the quickest he's bowled since he's come into this New Zealand, he and even Southee for that matter were probably both told to run in and bowl as quick as possible on what is a pretty flat track. Unfortunately it's gone pretty badly.
