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

[Moss]

Fair to say catching has played a major part in how this game is being decided

 

[straw man]

RRR just too high now.

Though that's a good start.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Gotta cash in vs Starc

 

[King Kane]

Still a chance with Neesham batting and Starc bowling.

Not if he takes a single though.

 

[morgieb]

Good god Starc has been bad.

The funny thing is that everyone else has been fine. That New Zealand are still remotely alive shows how good their batting has been (and how flat the wicket is).

 

[Moss]

Eh, cmon Neesh you’re better off backing yourself against Starc

 

[Shri]

does sam curran not know that eng are playing in lucknow tomorrow

 

[silentstriker]

bad single...you gotta just deal in boundries

 

[Spikey]

seriously when the **** are these ****s gonna start hogging the strike before the last over of the game. jimmy boards here he's seen my posts surely

 

[thundaboult]

gotta eat my words somewhat and realize, maybe this 2015 class of nz boys....aren't so mentally fragile against these guys anymore? t20 was good last year but long format always a concern

Also answers the question of whether the middle order turgidness was the pitch slowing down a lot or just really **** batting (it was the latter).

Yes and no. Those first 10 overs FFS

 

[Son Of Coco]

That's ****.

 

[Spark]

He's given away two full overs worth of extras ffs. A proper match losing performance

 

[_Ed_]

Sheesh, 17 wides now in this innings.

Tbf I think Santa was getting all our spinners to bowl slow which was seeing it grip a bit on the pitch

That's Reece Walsh.

 

[Spark]

Oh my god why did they take the single

 

[morgieb]

Jeez why would you take a single there?

 

[Moss]

This is the only time I can recall Starc failing to turn up against NZ. Still doesn’t make a difference to the result apparently!
