Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[Zinzan]

Give Starc a spell now Clarkey...he's looking tired.

 

[Dan]

Thought Warne made some comments to that effect.

Yeah, he did. It's a complete myth that Starc sucked before Warne spouted his crap and became an ODI beast afterwards. It's textbook post hoc ergo propter hoc​.

 

[Antihippy]

Haze sledging just doesn't work. Looks too much like an adorable woodland creature.

 

[robbypark]

Is Williamson actually awake out there?

 

[jonbrooks]

Oh, I forgot about Johnson :-(

 

[Cabinet96]

Me and my mate Clarke are on the same wavelength.

 

[biased indian]

I knew Oz would prepare a good bouncing pitch. Something we have not experienced in NZ conditions. It is posing a real challenge for NZ.

Pitches are not prepared by Oz its by ICC

Michael Clarke confirmed as a CW reader.

Baz today:

 

[Daemon]

Man Starc has just stepped it up a notch even for his standards. Possibly something to do with Warne's comments?

[SirBloody Idiot]

Williamson is batting like poop right now, but NZ can't afford for him to fall apart like Kohli did in the semi-final. Needs to stick it out.

 

[jonbrooks]

Holy crap the bounce. This is going to be ugly for NZ :-( Fantastic bowling from Mitch.

 

[Burgey]

Can't wait to take Burgeinho to the 'G for the Real v Roma match in July. Will be epic. Such an atmosphere there

 

[Immenso]

#mcgsobouncy!

 

[viriya]

Will NZ take 25-1 after 10?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Looking at Guptill's stance you have to assume Mitch is bowling down a massive downhill slope.

 

[Tangles]

Pitches are not prepared by Oz its by ICC

Blame the BCCI IMO.

 

[jonbrooks]

Ouch, Guppy bats at 9 against Mitch :-(

 

[Flem274*]

this is nice resolute stuff. taking the bowling head on isn't always about big shots.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, he did. It's a complete myth that Starc sucked before Warne spouted his crap and became an ODI beast afterwards. It's textbook post hoc ergo propter hoc​.

Right. I was primarily referring to his incredible form of late.
