[Prensel]

Lots of green balls

 

[Spark]

turning down those singles working well

 

[thierry henry]

This is just bizarre cricket

 

[Burgey]

Weirdest final over in quite some time.

 

[Spark]

this is comically bad batting

 

[ajdude]

tbh i had no idea mccleneghan is 27, thought he was younger

 

[Maximas]

Well played Aus, I think that's plenty

 

[uvelocity]

something to bowl to

 

[Spark]

weird sort of innings. 20 short of what we could have got, but geez this pitch is slow

 

[Furball]

Surely bowling an above waist high full toss merits a free hit more than overstepping?

 

[Flem274*]

This will be a tough chase if Australia's spin options cut it. Clint McKay can be a nightmare on this as well.

Push the singles on this. Big shots carry too much risk.

At least the outfield is nice and fast.

 

[thierry henry]

Good last 20 overs all up from us. Lord knows how we'll bat though.

 

[Zinzan]

And 30 more than you should have got. There were some extremely generous pressies amongst that lot. I thought NZ were decidedly ordinary with the ball & in the field.

 

[Howe_zat]

That was surreal.

Well played Aus, I think that's plenty

It's comments like this that made me think you were a NZer

 

[hendrix]

244 is about 50 too many.

This is going to be ugly.

Rather poor captaincy I believe.

 

[thierry henry]

Just realised they're like 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Fast game's a good game.

 

[Zinzan]

Good last 20 overs all up from us. Lord knows how we'll bat though.

As long as we don't go from 130/1 after 30 overs to be 214 all out in the 48th

 

[hendrix]

really? after those early wickets?

They have 2 genuine batsmen in their lineup and we let them get to 243

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Can see us defending this, actually.

 

[Pothas]

Bloody hell. Maxwell gave him a sighter and he still puts it there for the switch. & then drops one short The Big Show smashes for a Dorothy.

Chuckiamson getting what all right thinking people know he deserves.

Been waiting months for someone to hit him out the ground.
