Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[G.I.Joe]

The **** just happened? I wake up to NZ at 146/3, and the next time I check the score it's 183 a.o.

Crazy game.

jesus christ

Haha yeah Williamson- bowler got him out made me snort.

 

[SkyBlue]

Meh..This will be the last world cup they'll win in a while anyway..

that turn and bounce on the maxwell ball man

 

[Zinzan]

Elliott aside, absolute rubbish from the Kiwi batsmen. Just an overall so disappointing effort and seemed like the players were all just shell-shocked by the environment they were in.

Can we have a repeat of this match though?

Harsh on Taylor. His SR wasn't high but he did everything he had to at that stage. They got us to 150/3 after 35.

right make it hard for them boys. hope it hoops.

Seriously dude, with 32000 posts you'd think you know something about cricket. The conditions will not allow the ball to swing. I've said it before so many times. It won't swing in Australia like it does in NZ. We'll get carted and Oz will canter to a win.

Starc's performance has been the greatest ever LO tourney performance by a bowler I've seen. It's one thing to be consistently great across a WC, another thing altogether to be invincible. How is the opposition expected to cope when a bowler averages about 3 wickets a match and concedes 3 an over?

this is why i predicted 240-odd instead of 270 as the score at that stage would have suggested. starc in this wc is silly.

Why not the next one in Eng as well?

you mean apart from the swing that happened in the first ten overs of this match

 

[GGG]

Would be tempted to bring Henry in early if Southee doesn't get a wicket after a few overs, really got to throw everything at them.

Don't watch then.

Not too much to ask is it?

Yeah and like I said look further up the list...which of the two got banned again?

And I'll say it again, at least he bowls :-)

 

[OverratedSanity]

I hope people don't blame Taylor for "starting the collapse". I hate that term. It's the job of the other ****s below him to prevent a collapse after Taylor gets out after playing a decent knock.

Agree with this. Taylor's effort was fine. Of course you would want him to go on, but given what we just saw, if he'd gone early they could have been rolled for 100 or so

Agreed, he's at the top of his game.

are you trying to get banned? you've picked up two infractions in the last half an hour already for this ****, can it.

The only positive for me is that BMac is not even going to try the 5th bowler. All out attack with test match fields. Either it will be a very close game or a quick mercy killing.

This surely wouldn't be a comfortable win for the Aussies.

Yep. Not Taylor's fault whatsoever.
