Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[Flem274*]

here's forkers and elliott to try and out-troll each other

What is this?

Massive conclusions about players based off a couple of matches.

Based on 3 knockout game opportunities and looking nothing like he did all summer.

 

[Zinzan]

Fair weather fans being exposed a bit. But I know where it's coming from. This is rough on the old heart.

Yeah some of it has been piss-poor and OTT but I think people are allowed to be mildly disappointed with some of the dismissals. It's not exactly a black and white thing.

 

[OverratedSanity]

premature reactions

Idiots pointing out our gambhiring. Yeah they were premature reactions... thats the point.

 

[Athlai]

When Warne talks it's like he forgets about half the words he wants to use as he goes along. Worst commentator, can't believe how much of a gig he's been given for this World Cup.

 

[weldone]

That Kane dismissal. Is the ball holding in the pitch a bit?

No, Kane was thinking of rolling his wrists.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hate this angled bat bull**** from Elliott. He's literally showing the face of the bat to point.

Welcome to early-innings Elliott.

After he gets in he starts hitting those to cover instead.. but this is how he starts. He has some truly awful-looking early innings dismissals.

At what point does the low RR start becoming a problem (if at all?)

 

[Spikey]

this is standard tbf.

have a feeling that Clarke bowls him more overs earlier than Bailey does

 

[Dan]

At what point does the low RR start becoming a problem (if at all?)

50th.

we can defend 220 on this. looks sticky and stoppy.

 

[OverratedSanity]

At what point does the low RR start becoming a problem (if at all?)

After 30 overs. Need to bat 50 overs.

 

[Athlai]

At what point does the low RR start becoming a problem (if at all?)

At about the 5th over if I recall correctly.

 

[irfan]

Its Haddin. His existence causes a furore.

Lol - but what did he say/do in this specific instance when Maxwell got Guptill?

 

[Dan]

I actually think Clarke should roll his arm over at some point today.

 

[Zinzan]

At what point does the low RR start becoming a problem (if at all?)

For me it's irrelevant for a long time yet. It's better these days being 130/3 after 35 overs than 150/5.

I think one positive for NZ is that they are batting first. If this pair hangs around till the 30th and then Anderson/Ronchi does what they can in the last 10 overs, a good score is very possible. Much harder when you have a required rate of 12+ like Dhoni faced.

 

[Flem274*]

milk the fourth and fifth bowlers and get back to parity. they have to bowl these spuds for 20 overs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Cover drive from Elliott. Watch out Australia.

Just clapping like a gibbon.
