37th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[BeeGee]

This ****** fielding is getting on my ****.

 

[quincywagstaff]

He's basically had the same tournament as Kohli. A few fifties without a really impressive ton yet like KW and Root got. Wait til we've had the ashes before deciding if he's deteriorated or not

Re: Smith I think it's more the fact that he's a couple of levels below a ODI bat compared to being a Test bat.

Hasn't reached 75 in 2.5 years (21 completed innings). His WC has been OK overall but I don't know whether he's got the capability of great innings that he has in Tests.

Smith is Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

 

[Spikey]

maxwell has time for a double century

 

[Moss]

Golden arm Neesh.

How long do NZ keep chipping away before the inevitable Australian recovery?

 

[trundler]

Well I hope today's game shuts up both NZ whinging and Aussie dick waving. No team is unbeatable.

 

[mr_mister]

Well today's the day you can prove you're a batsman and not a hack slogger Maxi boy

 

[Spikey]

starting to think this australia team has some holes in it

 

[mr_mister]

**** me should probably stop bigging up players

 

[StephenZA]

Erratic fielding today, truly awful to sublime...

 

[Athlai]

New Zealand’s “5th bowling option” can’t be part timers.

Get ****ed.

 

[Daemon]

Needed NCN

 

[Moss]

Unbelievable. Neesham's confidence really seems to be on the up ever since the 5 wicket haul agsibst Afghanistan.

Australia was in a similar situation against the Windies, hope NZ drive home this start.

Yeah, I thought the team was coming together very nicely but they are showing vulnerabilities today.

 

[trundler]

Haxwell.

All hope rests with 2 players most Australians say shouldn't be in the team

 

[halba]

drop maxwell for the Semis. bring in shaun marsh. this is unacceptable. he's woefully out of form.
in this form aussies are an easy beat in the semis. the batting is woeful and has never improved for over 10 plus years, constantly prone to collapses.

England are also out of form, but if they bring in Roy they have a chance and if its a flat deck.

 

[Borges]

This Carey guy is good. 1. Warner 2. Finch ... zzz ... 7. Carey.
May be, Khawaja, still looking somewhat suspect, will step up today

 

[Moss]

Haven't watched in a bit but appears there's a lot of turn on offer and these two have countered Santner by sweeping him?
