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

[flibbertyjibber]

This has been a poor start by Starc and Hazlewood. Not that I think NZ will get close but it would be fun if they did

 

[King Kane]

Starc already dragged for Cummins but he's going for runs now too.

Not sure why our Cricinfo win percentage has dropped from 17 to 11 since the chase started. Not necessarily saying we should be any higher than that, but I can't see what's happened so far to make us go backwards.

I’ve noticed this sort of thing in a few games. Can’t make sense of it

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Yeah its atrocious. Our fielding performance was bad regardless, but it didn't help

On the whole the outfields have been below par at best, not good enough for a tournament like this.

 

[straw man]

Watching Young's innings so far reminds me that he's a stroke-maker but an extremely orthodox one. Bowl him a bad ball and he'll hit it for four, or even six like that lovely pull shot. But bowl tight, he won't, he'll hit predictably to well-placed fielders. Tried to invent once that over but looked unnatural.

So uh hope Australia bowl badly to him then?

 

[social]

Time for spin

 

[Gob]

Bowl straight ffs

Another thing is that is that there's probably separate algorithims for pre-game and live odds, and if you don't apply regularization the small sample size will make odds very volatile early in the innings for the live algorithm.

He's no McCullum, he's less likely to improvise shots to put the bowlers off their length but he's also less likely to throw his wicket away with a dumb shot.

He's going OK so far, keeping the good balls out and punishing the bad balls.

Classic New Zealand imo, completely uninventive. This is a country after all that baselessly claims the pavlova

 

[Athlai]

If they can sort out the outfield this may be my favourite Indian ground though

 

[Spark]

Some snare

 

[Aidan11]

What a catch.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

no turn for maxwell is a relief. He's really pushing them through, the comms were commenting that you needed to really slow it up to get it to rag.

 

[Himannv]

Great catch! Starc WAG!

 

[Gnske]

hahaha like how do you even get caught at legslip, just hit it for four brah

 

[Athlai]

****

 

[King Kane]

Conway falling for the legside trap there.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Conway has got to stop getting out like that.
