5th Match - Australia v New Zealand (18th March)

Smith such a mediocre limited overs batsman.

 

[Meridio]

That's why we wanted him bowling to the right handers.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I ****ing hate the music they play so much

Yeah. I'm finally starting to come around to t20 after years of being somewhere between bored and irritated by it, but the music and other gimmicks are still super annoying to me. I get why they are there of course but yeah.

 

[straw man]

How did he turn that so much?

helps that it was a bit shorter and more into-the-wicket I think

still, he generally turns it more than we might expect from his action

 

[Meridio]

Bit dumb from Smith though, must be said. You'd think the way to play the ball spinning away from you on a really slow pitch would be to go right back.

first ball i see was the mitch m wicket. santa pickss up the most boring name in cricket just after. guess i better not turn it off

good stuff, why isn't nathan McC playing today?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Smith such a mediocre limited overs batsman.

He's totally fine in ODIs, record is very good. Definitely not convinced he's ever going to be that good in t20 though.

 

[morgieb]

Jeez there's some turn here.

 

[harsh.ag]

Seriously. Milne, McClenaghan, and Anderson should have 4 overs between them (which they have already crossed). 4 each to Santner, Ish, Elliot, and Williamson.

 

[Moss]

Get Sodhi in. Even if it's two lefties, wouldn't hold him back for later

 

[Stapel]

good stuff, why isn't nathan McC playing today?

Well, NZ do have Williamson to bowl some spin. So more than enough spin to go with.


Not sure why Elliot is on again.......

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Dumb second run.

 

[straw man]

slowmo shows the ball has bits coming off it already

 

[Gnske]

Didn't Warner realise what an unfit fatty his batting partner is?

 

[straw man]

so Australia just made this a lot harder for themselves

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Davey Dum Dum runs out his side's best batsman.

This has a very similar feel to the India game.

 

[smash84]

gaime on

 

[Moss]

What a bonus. Milne a terrific outfielder.

ohhh maxi skirts in
