20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[Dan]

Warnie talking up Michael Beer

 

[wellAlbidarned]

McCullum definitely wanting to protect Milne from bowling to Warner

 

[Cabinet96]

Yes, the crucial period before Shane Watson gets set.

 

[Riggins]

Since 2013 at least

Nah

 

[Flem274*]

much better. ok so after 10 overs our best bowler has calmed down. hoping he stays good.

the second spell is the crucial one for us. we've been inconsistent with the new ball but we've smashed sri lanka, pakistan and now world cup sides when southee, mitch or boult come on for their second spell. that's the dangerous one for aussie. we just seem good at second spells for whatever reason.

Worth getting up, lets go...playing the impartial fan card here

 

[Antihippy]

Does ronchi have a sore throat?

 

[BackFootPunch]

Classic Watson.

 

[Cabinet96]

Strange cause he'd got through that crucial period and got set.

 

[Spark]

shane watson eh

 

[Dan]

Yes, the crucial period before Shane Watson gets set.

Yes, indeed.

 

[Jayzamann]

I think it'll be so cool one day when Watson actually accomplishes what everyone seems to think he is capable of, or due for.

lel

 

[Mike5181]

Vettori's been extremely impressive recently

 

[Gnske]

Nah

Yeah nah mate.

Perth, during Swann's colonoscopy. He was very noticeably doing it.

 

[Flem274*]

this next partnership is huge.

 

[morgieb]

Strange cause he'd got through that crucial period and got set.

Thought this was a Test match tbh.

 

[Antihippy]

Ah well, at least he contributed 21 runs. More than expected really.

 

[_Ed_]

Fantastic!

 

[Spark]

I think it'll be so cool one day when Watson actually accomplishes what everyone seems to think he is capable of, or due for.

lel

i think he was definitely due a middling 23 and holing out

 

[viriya]

Disappointing from Watson - didn't need to do that vs Vettori.
