20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[viriya]

From cricinfo:

15 runs in the first over, the joint highest in all World Cup games since 1999; equals runs scored in the first over of 2003 final

Doesn't bode well from NZ.

 

[Spark]

that's impressively lazy fielding

Yeah, not sure how they'll recover from those 15 runs.

 

[Spark]

play straight davey

 

[Dan]

The one time Boult doesn't pull off a screamer :/

 

[Riggins]

Such a smart bowler.

 

[Zinzan]

By Boult standards, that was a sitter.

It's those little 1 percentages ....

 

[Dan]

Yeah, not sure how they'll recover from those 15 runs.

But you see Cabinet, the stats never lie! Ignore what you're seeing in front of you and trust in the spreadsheet!

funny how they've been going at 3 an over since we've stopped bowling trash

 

[Riggins]

Watto's trigger being so far back is pretty new isn't it?

Problem is they can go at 4/over till the 30th and still get 350.

 

[Dan]

Boult is starting to look really, really good here.

and Boult could get 6 wickets in 6 balls and we roll them for 70

i didn't notice that in particular but that rocking movement he does seems really exaggerated

good jinx

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

what was the point of that?

 

[Dan]

Boult around the wicket to Watson, bowling short. Idiotic. Absolutely idiotic.

He'd got the ball swinging some more, Watson's a known lbw candidate (especially to the ball coming back into him), so he goes and does that.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

why the **** did he go around the wicket?

 

[Zinzan]

Watson just out-thought him then, used to angle from around the wicket beautifully.

Utterly pointless from Boult. If it ain't broke....

Since 2013 at least
