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

[King Kane]

Credit to Australia for not bowling an underarm ball at the end there and getting a legit win.

Great game, we got a lot closer than I thought we would but still disappointing not to pull off a great win when we had the chance.

 

[trundler]

Another thriller. Australia's fielding at the end was ****ing nuts.

 

[Athlai]

NZ should just try to preserve their NRR . High chance they might win only 5 games

Get ****ed

 

[morgieb]

Free hit might have helped too, in theory (but no guarantees when it's Ferguson).

Yeah Ferguson on strike would've hurt. Boult actually might've done it if he was on strike lol

 

[The Hutt Rec]

When Starc bowled that 5 wide I thought NZ were over the line.

Yep. one six from Neesham from there and we were home ... thought he'd have got it done against a wobbly Starc.

 

[Howsie]

Get ****ed

They are

Big games always fail to deliver when it matters. 8 years of this ****

 

[Athlai]

Thats exactly what NZ need to avoid. Play for NRR!!

Gagf

 

[Darwin Award]

Even though they shot out to a healthy 7 and over run rate early on the chase New Zealand has shown you really don't have to go ballistic like Australia did from the getgo to nearly chase 400.

Fine contributions by various players keeping in accordance with the run rate & chase and just have a healthy amount of wickets at the end and some good batters that can clear the fence when needed.

Circa 400 chase might very well fall by the time this tournament is over.

 

[loterry1994]

Starcs World Cup wicket streak over

Whoever's posting about the underarm that happened literally 40 years ago should have a lie down imo

WTC Final - won
2019 Final - tied due to umpiring error

 

[Shri]

crowd added so much to the tension

neesham chants outside ipl! first time?

 

[Athlai]

Bowled ‘em out inside 50 overs. Superb effort from the BC’s.

Whered you go

 

[Flem274*]

imagine thinking other teams live in the same tier as australia for the nz side mentally after todays game.

can definitely be argued nz literally dropped their opportunity for a win.

and only aus and maybe india could have kept that game after the nz batting showed up hot.

Ah yes the whole 8 years

 

[Spark]

Another thriller. Australia's fielding at the end was ****ing nuts.

It was particularly impressive given one of the most important efforts came from the worst fielder in the team

 

[straw man]

crowd added so much to the tension

neesham chants outside ipl! first time?

Crowd was great. After some justified grizzling about the crowds at matches earlier in the tournament, the Dharamshala crowd created a brilliant atmosphere this and the previous match.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Not a dying format.

 

[Owzat]

Arguably the game of the tournament so far.

5 runs and 1 wicket wins in the past few, contenders although close margin doesn't necessarily make the best game if it's simply bish bosh bash, most runs in a World Cup game and according to beeb at one point kiwis needed 26 runs needed off 11 runs and 23 runs needed off 9 runs!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

well that was a pretty good game

weird to say it given it felt like a pipe dream but neesh got some balls in the slot there, really should have got us home after starc **** everywhere
