5th Match - Australia v New Zealand (18th March)

[Gnske]

I like this new version of Zampa that doesn't deal in full tosses.

 

[Bahnz]

Dharamshala is a small ground. Can see the Kiwis getting 220+ here.

It's no Pukekura Park though.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Nice over from Zampa. Not a lot of turn though, no reason you need two specialist spinners on this pitch. Seems difficult enough to get medium pacers away.

Kane still seriously pissed about the garbage that Tim and Trent served up against Aus this summer it seems.

I can't complain - the last time Southee was dropped he came back world class for 3 years or so.

 

[Loose Cannon]

I keep hearing how confident Zampa is. Is that code for "he's a ****ing arsehole"?

 

[Gnske]

Sucks for Gotpills? That would have landed on the Eden Park roof.

 

[Bahnz]

"Agar, not quite in the game yet."

...

Usually means he is pitching the ball well and is giving it a good rip without being too afraid of being hit.

 

[Spikey]

oh dear god no it's slater

 

[Spikey]

he's already said "for his country", the worst phrase in cricket commentary

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Guess the bowling change every over strategy is working.

 

[Jono]

that was a bit dumb tbh

 

[Moss]

Rash from KW. Needed him out there on this pitch.

 

[Bahnz]

Ugh, Williamson is just not reading length like he does when he's at his best. Was nowhere near the pitch of that.

 

[Pratters]

Aussies have a hold on Kiwis. For real.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Oh no they're talking about altitude

 

[Pratters]

Oh no they're talking about altitude

On higher altitudes, balls fly higher.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah definitely a slowish pitch. Won't be that easy to chase on.

 

[Jono]

Trying to get 10 wickets the exact same way it seems. Really dumb as **** batting.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Safe pair of hands, should give him the ball again now.
