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

[SillyCowCorner1]

Boult to **** up Aussies' party.

 

[Burgey]

Yes, though caution was partly justified because in selecting 5 bowlers and losing Conway, there are only 5 batsmen worth something in the side.

Yeah if they lose this it wasn’t with the bat

there’s the pole they needed. Probably should have come back an over or two earlier

 

[straw man]

Nice. How many wickets do we need to make a game of this?

Hattrick pls.

 

[Burgey]

Nice. How many wickets do we need to make a game of this?

Hattrick pls.

Need at least one more in the next two overs imho. Ideally two

 

[Daemon]

Steve Smith hiding down the order shame on him

Just bowl out his 10 balls and hope because Marsh will murder the other bowlers

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kiwis need to bring some of that Wagner energy here.

 

[Burgey]

Maxwell will have a brain explosion here for certain. Only issue is whether a fielder gets under it

 

[Burgey]

Just a quality over from Boult there. Given his side a shot if they can get someone else to step up with him

 

[slippy888]

New Zealand should bowl out boult last over i think

Tbf no problem with that at this stage of the game. The chance of like 40(15) is enough to take the risk, that basically kills the game

 

[StephenZA]

I genuinely don't think I've seen a cricketer hit the ball flat harder than he does. Other batsman have hit it harder and longer in the air, but I haven't seen anyone consistently hit it as hard as he does along the carpet as he does.

Klusener?

Doesn't need to, Marsh is going to do it. FFS, Sodhi, stop bowling rubbish.

Yes Milne and Southee have not been good - Warner and Marsh have given them very fine margins and punished outside that, but still a few freebies.

Whereas with the spinners it's the lack of control, which has been evident for a while, finally making itself felt.

 

[slippy888]

why go back to sodhi

 

[Spark]

Klusener?

He'd be up there, but hard to compare across eras. Modern bats etc

 

[straw man]

Unfair of Australia to not dismiss themselves to Sodhi's wicket ball - the half-tracker.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

If I was in the middle, i would have murdered Ish Sodhi's bowling as well.

 

[Howsie]

**** Sodhi is puss

 

[Daemon]

Sodhi’s completely choked here. Garbage.
