This is such a good partnership, still thankful for Kane and Guppy seeing out the majority of that new ball.

yeah they'll get shredded tomorrow but without their world class fight to world class bowling we lose instantly.

that dig in is the best case guptill has made for test recall all summer, as much as you can make that case in an odi.

50 up to Elliott. The first ever 50 from a South African in a World Cup Final..

lololol

NZ score sweepstakes (cut off - before start of the 29th over).
Cut-off was before the start of the 28th over fellas, so you'll need your own comp

Elliott is a poor man's Sanjay Bangar.

51/0 off the last 9 overs. Top stuff.

 

[Prince EWS]

Johnson's 145km/h left arm orthodox has to be my favourite thing ever. Should do it more often IMO.

Yeah I've only see two international quicks do that heavy undercutting thing without it actually coming out as a slower ball -- he and Michael Kasprowicz. It's always been a much bigger natural weapon to him than trying to swing it back in.

 

[Flem274*]

lost one too many and would prefer 10-20 more runs but this is ok, especially since it's a final

 

[Athlai]

First 10 - 30
10-20 - 70
20-30 - 120
30-40 - 180
40-50 - 400

I'd think about structing the innings something like that

Holy ****.

51/0 off the last 9 overs. Top stuff.

Alan Border's comment about Michael Clarke's retirement overshadows it

 

[viriya]

you said 29th.

Yea my 287 counts. Waited till the end of the 28th.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Holy ****.

May I change my sweepstake to 400

Bracken was better at it than both.

 

[Spark]

i'm about to start yelling at my screen at all these goddamn singles through a vacant gully

 

[biased indian]

These two peppering third man like there's no tomorrow

Bracken not only did the same thing, he was better at it.

"without it actually coming out as a slower ball"

Bracken rolled his fingers over it like an actual left arm spinner and it came out at 115-120km/hr. Lots of bowlers have done similar things.

Johnson's slingy action means he naturally undercuts the ball a lot of the time; it's very different.
