20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[Flem274*]

ok that's impressive. that's the first ever short ball i've seen rattle anderson

 

[viriya]

You were saying.

 

[Cabinet96]

Kane's got this tbh. Four wicket win.

 

[artvandalay]

Anderson lucky to survive there. Really hostile bowling this.

 

[Zinzan]

I can only think Elliott plain didn't see that

 

[Son Of Coco]

FFS Elliott, good ball, but how obvious was it that it would be full & straight.

It wasn't straight ...it swung into him. His footwork was terrible too though, back foot going to square leg.

Anderson you tin-arsed ****.

 

[James]

Cummins and Starc bowling superbly, every ball looks like taking a wicket at the moment.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Seriously if kane goes now, Australia are favourites.

 

[ankitj]

I'd take a game like this over a 400+ rout anyday.

Agree. On most days though first innings score of 150 odd will be a rout too. Love it when low scoring game becomes competitive though.

 

[Zinzan]

It wasn't straight though...it swung into him. His footwork was terrible too though, back foot going to square leg.

Anderson you tin-arsed ****.

Definitely swung, but he missed it by more than it did.

 

[Howe_zat]

Both wickets were length balls, I notice

 

[Cabinet96]

Jeez I swear that didn't swing that much. Why is he playing through midwicket?

 

[viriya]

Definitely swung, but he missed it by more than it did.

Honestly I haven't seen tail-enders handle a ball worse than that for some time.. can't think of an instance recently.

 

[Spikey]

Want Starc bowling to Kane as much as possible over this next little bit

 

[jonbrooks]

Wow, Mark Richardson actually said something smart. NZ are facing a different level of bowling now. This is true. The Oz bowlers have been outstanding.

 

[Jayzamann]

oh hey remember that game from 2003

 

[jonbrooks]

Honestly I haven't seen tail-enders handle a ball worse than that for some time.. can't think of an instance recently.

I am not sure who played the worse shot, Taylor or Elliot.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Definitely swung, but he missed it by more than it did.

He missed it by a mile, you're right. Hell of a ball to get first up, especially when your footwork is that bad.

 

[jonbrooks]

oh hey remember that game from 2003

LOL! Was thinking the same thing. That day Brett Lee murdered us after Bondy took a 6fer.

 

[viriya]

Starc only has 5 overs left. He's the only one that looks genuinely threatening atm.

If this was a 250 chase I wonder how things would be going..
