Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[Prince EWS]

Interesting that people are saying Baz was nervy. He just got outclassed imo. If he'd gone out there and completely changed the way he'd played all tournament then perhaps you'd think nerves were playing a part.

Really don't think his dismissal is gonna get in the heads of the Kiwis. Sure it's a setback but at least he's gone out there and played the same way he did to get them there. Hopefully the rest of the team does the same.

Yeah I fully agree with this. If he'd gone out and tried to see off the new ball, get set etc like people here are saying then that's when I'd say he was nervy. He just went out there and played his role as always.. and his role is hit and miss by nature. Looked village but that's his thing.

I think the thread commentators are more nervy than McCullum was.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah McCullum's bowled dismissal would have been six at Eden Park. The bail would've flown into the South Stand.

this will be the most fired up guptill has ever been tbh after the crowe hug.

Starc's kinda like early-00s Murali imo. You just have to see him off, really.

 

[jonbrooks]

I can't take this. I feel sick ... gonna throw up. :- ( :-( :-(

Now Hazlewood cranking up the pace. 140ish.

In both cases, these players were inspired by Shane Warne #shanewarnethoughts
