***Official***Match #27- Australia vs New Zealand - October 28th-Dharamsala (D)

I just wonder what score we had in mind when we put them in. One that didn't put us under the scoreboard pump from the off.

There's no doubt they didn't factor in an in-form Matt Henry and the class of Trent Boult being larruped for 10s +

What a shining light Phillips has been in the middle of this storm.

 

[King Kane]

It's good that we have pulled the run rate back here but we still need to take wickets, with wickets in hand the Aussies can still up the run rate again.

 

[Moss]

What's if those two innings up front were outliers and this is a 280 pitch.

Will put NZ’s famed pitch reading skills into serious question.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Pretty sure it was because of Wade actually.

He had just heard the news that Wade was captaining the T20I side and was laughing as he tried to play the shot

 

[Spikey]

Pretty sure it was because of Wade actually.

did they tell Head that Wade got the captain gig during the ton celebrations. no wonder Head got himself out

Well, yeah! We could still keep them to 350. I wonder if that was what they were thinking originally.

It might be a 280 pitch if you bowl spinners. It just cost NZ 100 runs up front to learn that.

He's just an incredibly canny cricketer. Look at his use of the crease, the fact he bowls full at the end of an over to get out of it with a single to long on/off, where's he's trying to get these guys to hit...it's just brilliant. He doesn't have any significant drop/overspin, or changes in trajectory, or pace, but he's just so dialled in to what he's trying to do. I love watching it.

Head's still got his ten overs to bowl too.

 

[White Ball]

He who thinks Australian drinks Australian!!!

 

[Spikey]

Smith should have forced MMarsh to stay on strike until he either got out or got going. Smh

 

[Moss]

Ha ha just don’t believe this

 

[TheJediBrah]

That's Marsh's fault too

 

[King Kane]

Phillips again getting the big wicket of Smith, just a pity this is his last over.

 

[Athlai]

 

[Prince EWS]

NOW

Surely you don't want to distract him from his last over?

 

[Burgey]

Phillips deservedly gets the wicket but let’s not downplay Mitch Marsh’s contribution there. Been putrid
