Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[Dan]

Nah, just looked like he played outside the line to an out swinger.

Even still, it shouldn't balloon back quite as much if it was a line misjudgement. It'd be a bit more flat, jammy inside-edge type of return catch.

 

[Zinzan]

What did Haddin do?

 

[BackFootPunch]

As glorious leader Phlegm loves to note, Taylor is in his element when the top order does sweet **** all.

 

[OverratedSanity]

280 a bit steep but NZ aren't out of it yet.

These two can bat and you still have Corey, Ronchi, Dan and a handy set of bowlers to come.

Yeah but if this partnership is broken I don't see those 3 combining to bat 50 overs.

 

[NUFAN]

Well done Australia...way too much class so far. But massively disappointed in Guppy and Kane with such unnecessary dismissals after having done the hard work.

Such a shame that after all this build-up, the fun is nearly all over.

Chin up. One classy bat and a guy in form at the crease plus Anderson can do anything. Runs on the board won't be easy especially with baz captaincy, great bowling and fielding.

 

[Gnske]

Can't wait until Haddin is gone and Wade is back. Way more likable as a human being and a far better batsman.

Wade is literally no better, the big bully of poor Shane Watson.

 

[Flem274*]

this is a corey anderson pitch with the ball imo. jacob oram would be perfect.

 

[morgieb]

Can't wait until Haddin is gone and Wade is back. Way more likable as a human being and a far better batsman.

Worse keeper though. Bring in Nev!

That's Fines Master Mr Wade to you ****

 

[smnzer]

Why did it have to end like this...

 

[Gnske]

Oh dear the walking drive makes an appearance.

 

[Dan]

it's certainly two-paced, but johnson is bowling like last summer

Yeah, I agree. All three Australian quicks are having absolute blinders here.

 

[viriya]

NZ need a Ronchi special here.. Do an Elliott vs SA here.

 

[Spark]

What did Haddin do?

gave guptill something of a send-off

Clarke left mid wicket open. Only 3 men outside the circle. Williamson bites. Leading edge. Gone. #AUSvNZ #GoGold #CWC15

i have no idea if this is true but go Clarkeh go

 

[91Jmay]

Awful shot that. Hazelwood is so accurate though.

 

[Zinzan]

I can't put my finger on exactly why I find Harsha Bhogle quite so infuriating.

 

[Spark]

**** i love watching haze bowl

 

[Swingpanzee]

nah come on NZ fans it's looking tough but don't lose hope so early. 200 is game on with the bowling we have. Boult will deliver here. (dunno about Southee though)

Mitch on fire it has to be said.

 

[Salamuddin]

Not terribly surprised with the way the game is heading. Always thought it would be damn tough for the Kiwis to play at the G after playing all their games at home for the past 3 months or so.
