37th Match - New Zealand v Australia

[Moss]

These two are usually excellent at keeping the score ticking over, so tells you a bit about the quality of attack and the conditions out there.

 

[wrongun]

yes....its a used wicket so the ball wont come onto the bat naturally. I hope this is a nail bighter that goes Australia's way. Although the kiwis winning wouldnt ruin my day.

 

[weldone]

crawling

 

[Moss]

Missed out on 3 full tosses from Smith there.

 

[Gob]

Why Smith?

Hand over the momentum?

 

[vcs]

Brendon McCullum on commentary saying he didn't have much of a defensive game. Bloke had a Test triple century and a host of doubles FFS.

Yes and his statement still stands. I get that he is being humble, but those innings were counter attacking ones, especially the Triple.

Finally a boundary. With 7 overs of Starc left and Lyon looking dangerous, they'll have to take on the part timers here.

yea I think the idea here is to perhaps sneak in a wicket too. NZ have enough fire power though. These guys just need to rotate a little more.

 

[Gob]

Poor tactics here

 

[slippy888]

Need to get after the lesser bowlers here

The triple was only at a strikerate of 54, so it was a pretty patient knock. Lasted three days I seem to remember.

 

[weldone]

Williamson building some momentum, hope Ross will join too

Harsha Bhogle vs mark Nicholas in a Hell in a cell....Winner gets to give English tutorials to Sarfaraz.

Right but there were still many aggressive shots. His technique was not very defensive. I don't think its a reach for him to say that.

 

[Moss]

Bloody hell. All the pre game talk was about Starc vs Williamson and the former has duly delivered, but KW rather agave it away there. All on Taylor now.

 

[Gob]

Does it again

 

[Burgey]

Then Michael Slater joins him in comms and it becomes unbearable.

Every time. Wasn’t it terrible?

Huge moment that. Williamson is pure class. Can’t remember the last bloke I saw who plays the ball so late. Never wanted to really commit to it becajse of my M Crowe love, but I think he’s conclusively NZ’s best ever now.

 

[Gob]

Left hander in. Bring on Lyon

 

[slippy888]

A nothing shot from Williamson
