Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[OverratedSanity]

I think this is a Southee off-cutter deck.

Forkers leg break pitch imo.

 

[viriya]

We just didn't word it right... it's not game over, but NZ are ****ed.

Yep.. good pick-up senpai.

NZ are ****ed now.

It's impossible once 2 more wickets fall.

It's game over once Anderson gets out pre-40th over.

 

[Zinzan]

Just starting to look a little easier out there in the last 2 overs or so.

 

[Athlai]

Getting through a lot of Hazlewood overs is pretty good captaincy.

 

[Prince EWS]

Forkers leg break pitch imo.

Lyon off break pitch IMO.

Taste it, Australian selectors.

 

[irfan]

There was a lot of talk earlier this thread regarding Haddin when Guptill got out. What exactly did Haddin say that's caused a furore??

 

[Shri]

listen mate pick your ****ing head up,

we're 3 down ffs.

The game is not over.

Honestly, ridiculous commentary here.

Hazlewood is not going to give runs away. MoJo looks like he might get a wicket every ball. Starc has six left. NZ realistically have 20 overs to attack without taking risks probably. Just don't see a big total from them here unless Coriander plays a big knock.

They need another bowling performance like in htat first game. Only this time while defending.

this is standard tbf.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lyon off break pitch IMO.

Taste it, Australian selectors.

Post would work if Maxwell hadn't taken a wicket already tbf.

 

[Pothas]

Kane = Amla in big games..

Has to be said.

What is this?

 

[Tangles]

What's bare minimum to try to defend? 200 maybe. Going to have to find someone to bat through.

 

[Athlai]

How many runs until we start feeling better? I think I would be okay at 200-3 with 10 overs to come.

Yeah, I'm not going to have a fun first innings.

 

[Shri]

There was a lot of talk earlier this thread regarding Haddin when Guptill got out. What exactly did Haddin say that's caused a furore??

Its Haddin. His existence causes a furore.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Probably should've bowled one more Maxwell over to Taylor tbh.

 

[Dan]

Forkers leg break pitch imo.

Yeah, it's also a Forkers pitch. I just didn't want to mention that in case Clarke had text-to-speech streaming CW into his ear or something.

 

[Cabinet96]

What is this?

Massive conclusions about players based off a couple of matches.

 

[weldone]

Yeah no, it's over.

I think it's game over tbh. Kane was the primary cake. They're going to have to rely on a magic Boult spell.

Goddammit another Aussie WC win..

**** this.

ok, time to head to bed

premature reactions

 

[Spikey]

feeling another Raina like dismissal for Faulkner here #straightbat

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hate this angled bat bull**** from Elliott. He's literally showing the face of the bat to point.

 

[Swingpanzee]

jonbrooks get your **** together and stop panicking, NZ aren't totally out of this, it's just 3 down ffs
