The FINAL, Australia v New Zealand (THE BATTLE OF THE MITCHELLS) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai-- 11/14 Sunday (N)

[slippy888]

What approach mitchell have today play supporting role to guptill

 

[Victor Ian]

So this sucks. I'll probably have to turn the tv off if I want Australia to win

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Decent start for NZ in the first over.

No hint of swing at all from Starc.

 

[Aritro]

Decent start for NZ in the first over.

No hint of swing at all from Starc.

Notably different from the 2015 final when they played and missed til about the 4th over. I like it.

 

[straw man]

NZ lose the toss and no Chapman

bleh

Seifert keeps wicket though. Bringing in Chapman instead would mean making Phillips keep.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Maxwell

 

[Burgey]

Junk captaincy

 

[straw man]

I'm hoping this is finally Guptill's time in a big game. He had good form against Australia in the T20s earlier this year, so time to produce!

Yeah was commented after he was dismissed last match how he's never performed in semis or finals. On to get bowled by Maxwell again?

Mitchell has started well.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Nice Dazza. Take down the 5th bowler

or caught behind but Wade Waded it .

Mitchell has started well.

Decent pitch and the ball doing nothing, he'll never get a better chance.

I said Finch should stop being funky and fancy needlessly. But galaxy brains gotta galaxy brain, I guess.

 

[Moss]

Hmm. Confident looking start from NZ but Haze out thought Mitchell there.

Really important partnership now.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

C'mon Kane. Time for a captain's knock.

 

[straw man]

Bit unfortunate, couple of dots earned it though.

Williamson's form hasn't been good. Now please.

 

[Spark]

i wish the broadcast would turn down the PA sound

 

[White Ball]

Win the toss win the match

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Need a good powerplay on this ground especially.

 

[Spark]

bit of extra bounce? both these two are consistently hitting the splice more than i think the nz bats were expecting

 

[honestbharani]

and of course, Haze gets the breakthrough.
