***Official***Match #27- Australia vs New Zealand - October 28th-Dharamsala (D)

[Athlai]

Excellent knock, but we desperately needed 5 more overs

 

[morgieb]

Well batted kid. Had New Zealand fielded properly it would probably have been a match-winner.

 

[thundaboult]

well that's game done, been a helluva ride boys

 

[Flem274*]

Inevitable but great innings. Deserved better from his more experienced team mates.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

NZ can still win, if Neesham and Santner bat well

 

[King Kane]

Rachin gone, great innings.

It's all up to Neesham and Santner now.

I don't fancy our chances.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Oh no. Game over.

Now we probably just have to protect our nrr

 

[_Ed_]

97 off 10 overs isn't really difficult at all. Wickets in hand isn't New Zealand's friend but the way Ravindra is batting....

Still expecting that there'll be a flurry of wickets and it'll fizzle out to a quick end and a loss by 60 or 70, but I'm pretty stoked with this batting performance anyway.

Edit: And that's probably the first wicket of the flurry.

 

[Moss]

Though in the recent past those NZers who come up against Aus for the first time have tended to do well (Conway, Phillips, Allen). Time then for Young and Ravindra to continue the trend.

Well the trend did continue. Fantastic effort young man. Too reminiscent of the previous Dharmsala game though, with the centurion being left to do it all himself.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

NZ owe it to Rachin to win. They can still do it

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Starc will probably come back with yorkers and we'll lose by 60. Shame

Yeah, holds us in good stead (!) for the rest of the round robin.

 

[Athlai]

We're gonna crush SA/Pak/SL

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Doull to start blaming Ravindra for the loss in 3, 2, ...

 

[number11]

Australia shaping up very well for the KOs.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

played rachin. Man it's weird having players repeatedly come into the team and exceed their hype.

Hitting from ball 1 with 5 men out is rough, think that'll be us

 

[Window]

Rachin living up to Sachin’s tendency of not seeing through his team to a win /s

 

[_Ed_]

We're gonna crush SA/Pak/SL

I feel like Pakistan often beat us in World Cups, though? Apart from that ridiculous Taylor ton that time.

 

[straw man]

Amazing innings. Rachin such a revelation

I'm going to maintain we lost this with the ball and in the field - really should be chasing about 50 less.

In the last 20 years. 1-1
