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

[Moss]

Really, really poor that Boult hasn't bowled his 4th yet and the game is gone

Yup, can’t believe KW’s reluctance to bowl him

 

[slippy888]

Aussies had no right winning this so easy

 

[OverratedSanity]

Think they're mentally a bit gone tbh. They know this is done

It's NZ. They were mentally gone when Wade smashed the sofa for those three sixes.

 

[SteveNZ]

Aussies had no right winning this so easy

They put us under pressure and we weren't up to it. 9 guys have been well below par

 

[slippy888]

lets be honest guys it dew a excuse for this loss

 

[Aritro]

You patted Sodhi on the back earlier in the tournament for bowling the exact same ****

I don't think I've ever mentioned Sodhi in a sentence in my life, other than when bowled well against Bangladesh when we made about 30

 

[thierry henry]

There is just something in the match up between NZ bowling and Aus batting though. It doesn’t matter who we actually have or how bad Australia are, somehow they see it all as Richard de Groen

 

[straw man]

We scored heaps. Our batting is limited. Our bowling is supposed to be good and they’ve bottled it.

This is the crux of it. Yes would've liked our batting to push a bit more in the first ten overs, but they were cautious with some reason and finished well. We picked five bowlers whereas Australia picked four plus part-timers to stack the batting. Yet our bowling aside from Boult has been slaughtered.

 

[Kirkut]

With Aussies and Kiwis, the real game begins after the match when they meet up for drinks and engage in banter.

Is it me or slippy has been unusually vocal here?

They put us under pressure ... like we failed to do to them

India v New Zealand (WTC FINAL, replay-- NAHHHHH) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai, 10/31 Sunday (N)-- Match #28, Group 2

I know Pant is a genius and voice of a generation, but I swear 8/10 times I see him bat he looks absolutely awful

Your idea of a fine red ball bowler is long hops and full tosses from a leg spinner who doesn’t know how to bowl a leg break

Mitchell Marsh is still a wasteman

 

[straw man]

Anyway, annoying that it's Mitchell Marsh of all people to be the matchwinner and the clear best Mitchell on the day. He has struck the ball incredibly throughout and played with no fear.

 

[Burgey]

Bit more incisive than usual. Loved his work this thread tbh

Lol, I don't remember him bowling three balls off the pitch and another one at bouncer length in the same over in that match. But fair play to him, I thought he gave a great account of himself against a team that cruised to series wins against both finalists

Never mind, I just realised that was against India.

Carry on.

In the brief interactions I’ve had with you I’m not convinced you’ve watched a single ball of cricket

What you can do is screenshot this, find a printer and print it on to a piece of A4 sheet, roll it really nice and shove it up your butt
