20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[Cabinet96]

Reckon Warner is one of the few blokes who can bop a spinner down the ground for six off the back foot. Big challenge for Dan here.

 

[Dan]

Vettori on early is interesting. Not a bad plan, but I can't help but think one more for Southee could be useful.

 

[viriya]

Vettori probably a good gamble.. only problem is NZ need him in the mid-overs.

Nah, Southee was shot, had to have a rest.

 

[Pratters]

no it doesn't. learn your ground history before assuming it will be like your indian odis ffs

India NZ had a 314 run tie here. This pitch is completely flat. It is a charged up world cup game. 400 is possible and even chaseable I think here.

 

[Riggins]

4/over rr < 12/over rr

is there a list of rankings somewhere? what other run rates are less than 12?

 

[NUFAN]

I like Vettori coming on now tbh from an NZ point of view, just for a 3 or 4 over spell.

 

[_Ed_]

Excellent start from Dan. Wish he could bowl more than 10.

sometimes, when they're not playing india, teams play against other countries

 

[GGG]

Looking very sloppy in the field.

But they can now use Southee in the middle overs. Not to mention some Grant Elliott overs if need be. They'll be fine.

 

[Gnske]

Oh Watto don't try to pull it, you just can't do it.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

it's like boult and southee swapped brains

 

[Flem274*]

this crowd though, this is awesome

 

[Zinzan]

I just can't believe nobody is communicating with the cameramen to tell them to zoom in. It's bizarre.

 

[Dan]

Boult's the kind of bowler who's going to cause Watson lots and lots of problems. Bowl him out up front if you need to, IMO.

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh Watto don't try to pull it, you just can't do it.

Remember when he won you a Champions Trophy and got you to a World T20 Semi final by just bopping short balls over midwicket off the front foot all the time? What a man.

I am looking at the pitch ground size and despite the swing high scoring looks good for the day if Boult doesn't go through a few. History means nothing at times. Any ways, I'll end it here..

He hasn't been able to do it in the last year or so at all, he's miscued and got out to it more than he's middled them.
