CWC Game #8 Black Caps v Australia

[ACT Crusader]

What???????

A pearler from Neesh

[rotated]

Outstanding - Coney called an edge or spoon like that earlier in the innings! The Kiwis are right up for this - let's hope it's not another Port Elizabeth game... Waj is the last bloke in the top 6 you would want left standing to nurse with the tail.

Get Carey or waj and we're into the bowlers

[No Quarter]

I'd bring Ferg or Boult back now.

Yup. Go for the jugular

Yep.

Waj is very comfortable against our spinners. Carey is a class player.

This tandem are probably their most controlled.

Need a bit of pressure on them.

@KaneWilliamson the Fern has spoken.

[No Quarter]

Waj gets another f'ing life. Grrrrrrrrr

[No Quarter]

Latham should have taken that.

[canefan]

Fark

We're not going to win these big games if we can't take our chances. Our catching is a massive problem at the moment.

Yes and no, between the Neesham and Guppy screamers and the Latham and Guppy drops 2/4 is probably par.

[ACT Crusader]

We are 4/7 in this game

[canefan]

Aussies looking a little too comfy right now. Come on Kane, bring your strike bowler back

[canefan]

Lachie bowling too full

[No Quarter]

We missed a trick continuing to bowl Santner there. These two now look pretty set.

Against the top sides it's the fielding that can give us a chance. The screamers were great, add those to the two catches you'd expect to be taken and we're right on top. As it is these two are now rebuilding on a tough pitch for batting.

Carey's strike rate is currently 106.9, we need his wicket ASAP

[canefan]

I suppose we need to get a few of the slower bowlers through before the end of the innings, but a couple of overs from Boult is worth the gamble to get a wicket I reckon
