20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[Jayzamann]

This is a good teaser.

Oh man Taylor! What a BAD SHOT. Great bowling from Oz, but terrible shot selection from Taylor.

 

[jonbrooks]

Well, this makes things interesting.

Can Elliott and the icing support KW for long enough?

Who is the icing? Anderson?

 

[Pratters]

Well, this isn't over by any means.

 

[jonbrooks]

OZ have three bowlers who operate around the 150kph mark. That's pretty frightening stuff.

 

[Athlai]

Were going to smash them. So much cake and icing to cone. What a day

 

[Dan]

Who is the icing? Anderson?

Anderson, Ronchi.

 

[Grasshopper]

Game on.

 

[jonbrooks]

This game is by no means over.

I am really impressed with the Oz quicks. There are operating with real pace.

 

[jonbrooks]

Chokers.

Who NZ? It's happened so many times that I've lost count :-(

 

[James]

This is going to go down to the wire I feel.

2 wicket victory to NZ with Vettori and Southee seeing us home.

 

[jonbrooks]

Taylor's a worry. Good nut mind.

There is something very wrong with Taylor. Not sure what it is. I thought he was coming good after a couple of good knows against Pak but he's sucking royally now.

As a Taylor fan it is sad to see since the rest of the team is playing really well.

 

[_Ed_]

I think we're being a little bit too pessimistic here.

It's going to be close that's for sure.

 

[jonbrooks]

I think we're being a little bit too pessimistic here.

Aside from McCullum all our batsmen have struggled against the Ozzie pace. It's some pretty quick bowling going on out there. Even McCullum was beaten by pace and copped a nasty blow.

NZ would want a convincing win here.. any more than 5 down would be disappointing chasing 151.. Scotland all over again.

 

[jonbrooks]

45 minute innings break ... c'mon, that's way too long

 

[jonbrooks]

I agree but if we do win I think it will be around 7 or 8 down ...

 

[Greenlite]

Re - Baz, I wonder if the x-ray is going to show the injury, the swelling might prevent the radiologist to assess it properly for a few days. Might play with one arm if he has to.

dont worry Trent will save us at the end
