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

[Meridio]

KW's captaincy has been difficult to understand this match

It was good until now where he took both spinners off.

Wasn't good first two overs imo

 

[Meridio]

That over from Milne has really released the pressure. Sure, two completely arsey boundaries, but he shouldn't have been bowling.

Na the captaincy there was fine, just the bowling was ****.

 

[91Jmay]

Sodhi with a huge over or two here. Need Maxi.

 

[straw man]

Admittedly, Williamson needed one more over and can now bowl the rest between Elliott, Santner, Milne if he so desires.

 

[harsh.ag]

Why the **** would you bowl Milne when you can bowl yourself, Kane, you ****

 

[Stapel]

Just the 2 boundaries in the last 8 (or so) overs. And both of 'm were inside edges....

I cannot see the Aussie batsmen to bring their team home.

EDIT": Oh, and when I press reply, a six is smashed......

 

[Gnske]

Why didn't he just reverse paddle it?

 

[Jono]

thats big.

On the slow pitch debate earlier, still made for a pretty interesting game IMO. I've always felt slow/difficult batting wickets tend to make for the most entertaining ODIs and I don't think the formula is that different in t20s. Really good batting wickets make for pretty predictable games in general, which this definitely hasn't been.

So 9 an over now without Maxwell. Basically need either Marsh or Faulkner to come off and hit a few sixes. Interesing choice to send Agar in, given that.

 

[91Jmay]

Huge moment. Sodhi absolute gun performance this tournament so far.

 

[smash84]

maxi skirts out

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

That's huge, great shot.

 

[91Jmay]

Massive over. Game well and truly on with Forkers to come.

 

[smash84]

big over for oz

 

[straw man]

Hrmm, is it Elliott and Anderson for the last two overs? Sodhi looks the most difficult but is bowled out now.

 

[Jono]

Huge huge hugeeeeeeeee

 

[Gnske]

Yet another worthless tailend wicket to McClenaghan

 

[Moss]

Hrmm, is it Elliott and Anderson for the last two overs? Sodhi looks the most difficult but is bowled out now.

McLeneghan surely? Lack of predictability is a good thing here.
