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

[Athlai]

I've always said that Shri is wise beyond his years

 

[Daemon]

Not the best game so far for noted no rounder G Phillips

 

[King Kane]

Funny thing is nz have Jamieson as backup instead of milne

Milne is just as injury prone as Ferguson, they probably didn't want to risk having both of them in the squad.

 

[White Ball]

Marsh needs to put his foot down now

It's so ****ing stupid Milne isn't in the squad or seemingly in reserves.

 

[Athlai]

Seems like Sodhi would've been more useful than Ferg /Milne/Jamieson today

 

[Son Of Coco]

Finally a ****ing boundary.

Come on Bison.

 

[SteveNZ]

Well they are still in a incredibly strong position but always feel they could throw it away

Maybe the wicket is not that easy after all

Maybe it's a new ball pitch...but it does feel like a mental block sort of innings, just like Australia's innings v Pakistan

 

[Athlai]

Henry Rauf with this stellar comeback

 

[Mike5181]

What can we even realistically chase down? Like 350ish?

We could chase 400 if some very unlikely things happen (Conway, Mitchell, Phillps all going relatively big)

 

[thundaboult]

i do think we were capable of chasing 250 against aussie today but they've already reached 250+ with 15 left lmaooo

rekt

Teams often falls away after such strong starts though. It seems like the ones following aren't quite sure of the phase they need to operate so they are usually pressurised to match the openers

Yep that's exactly what I mean. That's a mental block, the pitch is playing as it is but it feels like they are affected by the way the openers went

I was talking about reserves lmao

Jamieson is reserve player

 

[Moss]

Mitchell hanging onto that catch and seeing off Marsh would’ve made it much easier to reintroduce Henry. Still think Latham’s doing the right thing, but it’s going to be much easier for MMarsh now.

 

[Punk01]

It doesn't feel catastrophic to our World Cup chances. So there is that positive. You bring in Southee, or Sodhi, and really nothing much is lost.

If u bring in southee u have 3 bowlers of the same kind , that's not at all ideal

 

[Shri]

Love ya Shri

it will not be an impossible target

expect a collapse soon

Ball seems to get held up in the pitch a bit tbh
